Becoming Us: The Soundtrack

Music has always played a big part in my life and every book I write comes with its own soundtrack. Book soundtracks are invaluable as they keep me focused on the current book even when I’m not writing. I listen to them when I’m driving in the car, cooking bacon and eggs for a big Sunday breakfast, even when I’m doing the ironing. Often little snippets of lyric will spark an idea that will turn out to be just the thing I need to solve a plot problem or figure out why a character is insisting on doing whatever it is they’re doing (rather than what I want them to do). Today, I wanted to share some of the music that inspired me while I was writing Becoming Us.

• Wise Enough - Lamb (this was the Becoming Us theme song!)
• Ten Feet Tall - Wrabel (Lawrence’s theme)
• False Confidence - Noah Kahan (Connor’s theme)
• Halsey - Not Afraid Anymoe (Gabi’s theme)
• Without A Blush - Hatchie
• Not Angry Anymore - Thelma Plum
• Heaven - Troye Sivan
• What You Do - James Gillespie
• Half Light - Banners
• Do You Remember - Jarryd James
• Be Mine - Offenbach
• Waking Up Slow (Piano Version) - Gabrielle Aplin

I hope you enjoyed this sample of songs from the Becoming Us soundtrack. If you’d like to see the complete soundtrack you can find it here.
