Thanks for the welcome Gigi!!

 

I also like "Stay" by Rihanna but I have not figured out where to use it in the storyline.  Maybe it would work when he turns away from her in the limo and then for him when she walks away once they get inside at the Advocacy Benefit.

 

I like a song called "The Look of Love", recently done by Dianna Krall for dancing at their wedding reception

"The Look Of Love"



The look of love is in your eyes
A look your smile can't disguise
The look of love is saying so much more than just words could ever say
And what my heart has heard, well it takes my breath away

I can hardly wait to hold you, feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you, now that I have found you

You've got the
Look of love, it's on your face
A look that time can't erase
Be mine tonight, let this be just the start of so many nights like this
Let's take a lover's vow and then seal it with a kiss

I can hardly wait to hold you, feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you, now that I have found you
Don't ever go
Don't ever go
I love you so

 

 

 

Gideon waiting in the car the Monday Eva walks to work to check her time

"Haven't Met You Yet" by Michael Bubl'e

 

on the way to NC

"Pocket of Sunshine" (take me away) by Bedingfield

 

for Corinne when she realizes she has lost Gideon

"I'm Not That Girl" from Wicked

 

for Brett when he finally realizes Eva is gone

"When I Was Your Man" by Bruno Mars

 

 

Hey BettyY37! Great choices! I love this last one from Dianna Krall...it's PERFECT for their wedding! :)

 

I like this one for them when they were broken up... by Armin Van BUuren:

 

"This Is What It Feels Like"
(feat. Trevor Guthrie)

 

Nobody here knocking at my door
The sound of silence I can’t take anymore
Nobody ringing my telephone now
Oh how I miss such a beautiful sound

[Chorus:]
And I don’t even know how I survive
I won’t make it to the shore without your light
No I don’t even know if I’m alive
Oh, oh, oh without you now
This is what it feels like

Nothing to hold but the memories and frames
Oh they remind me of the battle I face
without your love, without you I drown
Somebody save me I’m going down

[Chorus:]
And I don’t even know how I survive
I won’t make it to the shore without your light
No I don’t even know if I’m alive
Oh, oh, oh without you now
This is what it feels like

[Chorus:]
And I don’t even know how I survive
I won’t make it down the road with one headlight
No I don’t even know if I’m alive
Oh, oh, oh without you now
This is what it feels like

Incredibly powerful lyrics Nathalia!  I haven't kept up with Armin Van Buuren in years.  His music had always been so popular in Europe.  I am glad he has made his way to North America.  :)

I have found one more song!  The first verse of "Black is the Color of My True Love's Hair" by Nina Simone.  I think of the second chapter of "Entwined With Me" when Eva wakes up next to a sleeping Gideon and she brushes his hair from his face

 

 

Black is the color of my true love's hair
His face so soft and wondrous fair
The purest eyes and the strongest hands
I love the ground on where he stands
Black is the color of my true love's hair
Of my true love's hair

Oh, I love my lover and well he knows
Yes, I love the ground on where he goes
And still I hope that the time will come
When he and I will be as one
Black is the color of my true love's hair



or maybe at some other point in their relationship.

Sylvia Day mentions Eva and Cary are listening to "Chasing Pavements" in the first chapter of "Bared to You".  I think "One and Only" also by Adele would be great in background when Eva reads the prenuptial and realizes what Gideon is offering and saying to her with the document.

 

One and Only is also a great, recurring background theme for the sturggles in their relationship.

This song is by Corinne Bailey Rae.  I really like it for Eva because of the line "Still I wonder why it is, I don't argue like this with anyone but you.  We do it all the time, blowing out my mind".  I think it would work when Eva leaves Gideon at the gala where she first meets Corinne and Dr. Terrence Lucas.  It would be in her head while she is on her way home alone.  And maybe again at the end of chapter 21 in "Bared to You" when Eva says "Hello Mr. Comfortable.  I'm Miss. Complicated."

 

It would probably work in other places too.

 

 

"Like A Star"



Just like a star across my sky,
Just like an angel off the page,
You have appeared to my life,
Feel like I'll never be the same,
Just like a song in my heart,
Just like oil on my hands,
Honour to love you

Still I wonder why it is,
I don't argue like this,
With anyone but you,
We do it all the time,
Blowing out my mind,

You've got this look I can't describe,
You make me feel like I'm alive,
When everything else is au fait,
Without a doubt you're on my side,
Heaven has been away too long,
Can't find the words to write this song,
Oh...
Your love,

Still I wonder why it is,
I don't argue like this,
With anyone but you,
We do it all the time,
Blowing out my mind,

Now I have come to understand,
The way it is,
It's not a secret anymore,
'cause we've been through that before,
From tonight I know that you're the only one,
I've been confused and in the dark,
Now I understand,

I wonder why it is,
I don't argue like this,
With anyone but you,
I wonder why it is,
I wont let my guard down,
For anyone but you
We do it all the time,
Blowing out my mind,

Just like a star across my sky,
Just like an angel off the page,
You have appeared to my life,
Feel like I'll never be the same,
Just like a song in my heart,
Just like oil on my hands

Those are some pretty interesting and dark lyrics Betty.

Hi Nathalia  Love your song choice (This is What It Feels Like)!!  Just listened to it.  I particularly liked the reference to "ringing my phone", "the shore" and "frames (picture frames). 

 

 

Incredibly powerful lyrics Nathalia!  I haven't kept up with Armin Van Buuren in years.  His music had always been so popular in Europe.  I am glad he has made his way to North America.  :)

Thanks Gigi! I've gotta listen to his other songs b/c  I think this Is the only one of his I know.

Of my true love's hair

Yes, I love the ground on where he goes

And still I hope that the time will come

When he and I will be as one

Black is the color of my true love's hair

or maybe at some other point in their relationship.

 

Wow that's perfect!

We have the same ideas for music too!  I think I may have suggested "Treasure" a lil while back also...A lot of Bruno Mars' songs fit these two lol :)

What about this for Eva and Cary maybe?

 

Phillip Phillips

"Gone, Gone, Gone"

 

When life leaves you high and dry
I'll be at your door tonight
If you need help, if you need help.
I'll shut down the city lights,
I'll lie, cheat, I'll beg and bribe
To make you well, to make you well.

When enemies are at your door
I'll carry you away from war
If you need help, if you need help.
Your hope dangling by a string
I'll share in your suffering
To make you well, to make you well.

Give me reasons to believe
That you would do the same for me.

And I would do it for you, for you.
Baby, I'm not moving on
I love you long after you're gone.
For you, for you.
You will never sleep alone.
I love you long after you're gone
And long after you're gone, gone, gone.

When you fall like a statue
I'm gon' be there to catch you
Put you on your feet, you on your feet.
And if your well is empty
Not a thing will prevent me.
Tell me what you need, what do you need?

I surrender honestly.
You've always done the same for me.

So I would do it for you, for you.
Baby, I'm not moving on,
I love you long after you're gone.
For you, for you.
You will never sleep alone.
I love you long after you're gone
And long after you're gone, gone, gone.

You're my back bone.
You're my cornerstone.
You're my crutch when my legs stop moving.
You're my head start.
You're my rugged heart.
You're the poultice that I've always needed.
Like a drum, baby, don't stop beating.
Like a drum, baby, don't stop beating.
Like a drum, baby, don't stop beating.
Like a drum my heart never stops beating...

For you, for you.
Baby, I'm not moving on.
I love you long after you're gone.
For you, for you.
You will never sleep alone.
I love you long after you're gone.
For you, for you.
Baby, I'm not moving on,
I love you long after you're gone.
For you, for you.
You will never sleep alone.
I love you long, long after you're gone.

Like a drum, baby, don't stop beating.
Like a drum, baby, don't stop beating.
Like a drum, baby, don't stop beating.
Like a drum my heart never stops beating for you.

And long after you're gone, gone, gone.
I love you long after you're gone, gone, gone.

I like "Gone, Gone, Gone".  Thought of it as a love song and the words fit the love between Eva and Cary.

Thanks!!

 

PS

I posted "I'll Make Love to You" by Boyz II Men on The Lionsgate.." topic for Gideon's and Eva's wedding night.  Should i put it here too?

I also like "Stay" by Rihanna but I have not figured out where to use it in the storyline.  Maybe it would work when he turns away from her in the limo and then for him when she walks away once they get inside at the Advocacy Benefit.

"The Look Of Love"

The look of love is in your eyes

A look your smile can't disguise

The look of love is saying so much more than just words could ever say

And what my heart has heard, well it takes my breath away

I can hardly wait to hold you, feel my arms around you

How long I have waited

Waited just to love you, now that I have found you

You've got the

Look of love, it's on your face

A look that time can't erase

Be mine tonight, let this be just the start of so many nights like this

Let's take a lover's vow and then seal it with a kiss

I can hardly wait to hold you, feel my arms around you

How long I have waited

Waited just to love you, now that I have found you

Don't ever go

Don't ever go

I love you so

 Hi Betty, I just thought of a spot where Rihanna's "stay" could play...after the first nightmare at Eva's place where she convinced him to sleep on the floor with her...I can see that song being played throughout that scene. What do you think?

Thanks girls! I like picking out songs. So funny b/c these characters are fictional, yet I can't stop them from popping in my head randomnly lol.

Here's another one...Parts of it work for Gideon and Eva :)

 

 

 

"Hold On We're Going Home"
Drake (feat. Majid)

 

I got my eyes on you
You're everything that I see
I want your heart, love and emotion endlessly,
I can't get over you
You left your mark on me
I want your heart, love and emotion endlessly

Cause you're a good girl and you know it
You act so different around me
Cause you're a good girl and you know it
I know exactly who you could be
Just hold on we're going home
Just hold on we're going home
It's hard to do these things alone
Just hold on we're going home (home)

I got my eyes on you
You're everything that I see
I want your heart, love and emotion endlessly,
I can't get over you
You left your mark on me
I want your heart, love and emotion endlessly

Cause you're a good girl and you know it (oh yeah)
You act so different around me
Cause you're a good girl and you know it
I know exactly who you could be

So just hold on we're going home (going home)
Just hold on we're going home (going home)
It's hard to do these things alone (things alone)
Just hold on we're going home (going home, going home)

You're the girl
You're the one
Gave you everything I love
I think there's something, baby
I think there's something, baby

You're the girl
You're the one
Gave you everything I love
I think there's something, baby
I think there's something, baby

Cause you're a good girl and you know it
You act so different around me
Cause you're a good girl and you know it
I know exactly who you could be

Oh just hold on we're going home (going home)
Just hold on we're going home (going home)
It's hard to do these things alone (things alone)
Just hold on we're going home (going home, going home)
Hold on

Beautiful lyrics Nathalia.  I could see how parts from the song could apply to various aspects of their lives (Gideon and Eva) together.  :)

What about this? For everyone trying to keep them apart?

ALICIA KEYS LYRICS
 

"No One"

I just want you close

Where you can stay forever

You can be sure

That it will only get better

You and me together

Through the days and nights

I don't worry 'cause

Everything's going to be alright

People keep talking they can say what they like

But all i know is everything's going to be alright

No one, no one, no one

Can get in the way of what I'm feeling

No one, no one, no one

Can get in the way of what I feel for you, you, you

Can get in the way of what I feel for you

When the rain is pouring down

And my heart is hurting

You will always be around

This I know for certain

You and me together

Through the days and nights

I don't worry 'cause

Everything's going to be alright

People keep talking they can say what they like

But all i know is everything's going to be alright

No one, no one, no one

Can get in the way of what I'm feeling

No one, no one, no one

Can get in the way of what I feel for you, you, you

Can get in the way of what I feel

I know some people search the world

To find something like what we have

I know people will try, try to divide, something so real

So till the end of time I'm telling you there ain't no one

No one, no one

Can get in the way of what I'm feeling

No one, no one, no one

Can get in the way of what I feel for you

oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

"At Last" feels like a perfect song for the first dance of Eva and Gideon at their New York wedding.

These are Beyoncé lyrics so they might be slightly different from Etta James

At last my love has come along

My lonely days are over

And life is like a song

Oh yeah, yeah

At last the skies above are blue

My heart was wrapped up in clover

The night I looked at you

I found a dream that I could speak to

A dream that I can call my own

I found a thrill to press my cheek to

A thrill that I have never known

Oh yeah, you smile, you smile

Oh, and then the spell was cast

And here we are in heaven

For you are mine at last

The lyrics below were performed by Della Reese.  You can find her performance on "YouTube".  I thought it would make a good waltz for Gideon and Eva at the advocacy dinner but if sung, then it should be by a man

 

Don't you know 
I have fallen in love with you 
For the rest of my whole life through 

Don't you know 
I was yours from the very day 
That you happened to come my way 

Can't you see 
I'm under your spell 
By the look in my eyes 
Can't you tell, can't you tell 

Now, don't you know 
Every beat of my heart keeps crying out 
I love you so 
Don't you know 

Don't you know 
Every beat of my heart keeps crying out 
I love you so 
Don't you know

 

The song was adapted from an aria ("Musetta's Waltz") from Puccini's La Boheme.

When the rain is pouring down

And my heart is hurting

You will always be around

This I know for certain

You and me together

Through the days and nights

I don't worry 'cause

Everything's going to be alright

People keep talking they can say what they like

But all i know is everything's going to be alright

No one, no one, no one

Can get in the way of what I'm feeling

No one, no one, no one

Can get in the way of what I feel for you, you, you

Can get in the way of what I feel

I know some people search the world

To find something like what we have

I know people will try, try to divide, something so real

So till the end of time I'm telling you there ain't no one

No one, no one

Can get in the way of what I'm feeling

No one, no one, no one

Can get in the way of what I feel for you

oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
