Music Monday ;
aka a justified reason for me to geek out over music and book pairings
{ ++ } Music Monday is a weekly meme hosted by Jess at Gone With the Words where she tells us all about a pairing and a song that reminds her of them. Bloggers are invited to join in the fun and I thought, music + pairings? I am SO there! It's no secret that when I get attached to a ship, I get all flail-y and grabby hands over the shiny couple so here goes.
The guy: Samuel "Sam" Cornick. Werewolf. Healer. Longing for a mate.
The relationship: I have been struggling to find time to read this book for a long time now, and I am finally getting into it. I was immediately captivated by the relationship between Mercy and Sam, the son of the Alpha who rules over all the werewolves. Sam wanted to marry Mercy when she lived with his father's pack, but while Mercy was in love with Samuel, it was his intense desire for a mate that led him to develop a relationship with her. In this first book it is clear that they have a deep history and a bond, and while I don't get the "endgame" feeling from them, I want to shake Sam, and hug Mercy. It's clear that she still has some feelings for him, and that their relationship has shaken both of them up, when events bring her back into his life. I heard thing song the other day and immediately thought of them. I see so many missed opportunities with them, and this song is so so bittersweet.
Right under my feet there's air made of bricks
Pulls me down turns me weak for you
I find myself repeating like a broken tune
And I'm forever excusing your intentions
And I give in to my pretendings
Which forgive you each time
Without me knowing
They melt my heart to stone
And I hear your words that I made up
You say my name like there could be an us
I best tidy up my head I'm the only one in love
I'm the only one in love
Each and every time I turn around to leave
I feel my heart begin to burst and bleed
So desperately I try to link it with my head
But instead I fall back to my knees
As you tear your way right through me
I forgive you once again
Without me knowing
You've burnt my heart to stone
And I hear your words that I made up
You say my name like there could be an us
I best tidy up my head I'm the only one in love
I'm the only one in love
Why do you steal my hand
Whenever I'm standing my own ground
You build me up, then leave me dead
Well I hear your words you made up
I say your name like there should be an us
I best tidy up my head I'm the only one in love
I'm the only one in love
