Day ten: a song that makes you fall asleep
Ah, Bach. He makes everything happier and more peaceful doesn't he? Perfect timing for this post since I personally fell asleep to this very song last night.
In this scene: Ashton began playing the piano as a child. While she most frequently played her own family's music, she is a fan of classical. One particular night, Ashton has a hard time trying to fall asleep. She digs out her MP3 player, sets it on her relaxing play list, and imagines her own fingers moving across the keys as she drifts off.
Bach--Siciliano

Day 9--30 Day Music Challenge
Day nine: a song that you can dance to
Dancing! A favorite pastime for some of my characters! If only they danced to say Usher or Black Eyed Peas instead of the Irish music they tend to prefer, I'd have an amazing selection of YouTube videos from which to choose. It seems, however, the luck of the Irish was with me. I actually found a decent rendition of the song I was trying to find!
This is the music you would hear in my head as Ashton meets a rather interesting group of characters in the second half of Haven. So find some shamrocks and kick up your heels :D

Day 8--30 Day Music Challenge
Day eight: a song that you know all the words to
Early on in the story, Ashton gets word to come home. Trying to keep her mind off the reason for her trip, she turns up the music and sings along.
Another awesome song...because well, they all are. ;)
Erin McCarley-- Lovesick Mistake

Day seven: a song that reminds you of a certain event
This challenge is starting to get tough. I'm running out of music I can list without giving too much info on my story. Gonna try though :)
Ashton, having been betrayed in the worst way she can imagine, travels to a place she never wanted to go. Along the way, she's existing in a somewhat zombie-like state, thinking about her life and how it should've played out differently.
One of my all-time favorite songs!
Florence + the Machine -- Blinding

Day 6--30 Day Music Challenge
Day six: a song that reminds you of somewhere
This is a rather fun song for me. It's one of those where you hear any part of it, and instantly you're transported to another place altogether.
In Haven, Ashton continues her road trip and finds herself in central Texas. Though I've never physically been to the beautiful town of Granbury, it's like a second home to me. The Victorian architecture and quaint feel of southern living are like something from a magazine. I love it there! You writers know what I mean ;) So just imagine an old-fashioned carnival with a fireworks display over the lake and take a listen.
Plumb--Blush (Only You)

Day 5--30 Day Music Challenge
Day 5: a song that reminds you of someone.
Again, the song I automatically went for is Luke Asher. And again, no access on YouTube, but I will attach his MySpace music page link. You can listen there! I suggest you all just buy his album, that way each of you is in the know :)
This is one of the most moving and unique songs I've ever heard. Being Ashton's favorite musician, you should enjoy as well!
Luke Asher--God Bless You Mary Jean.

Day 4--30 Day Music Challenge
Day four: a song that makes you sad.
This is a really tough call. While Haven is nowhere near a depressing story in which everyone dies (or ends up wishing they were dead), there are a few scenes that are emotionally toiling.
The scene that stands out most, I can't post the song, because I don't have access to it. So, given that restriction, I'm going to go with The Fray.
This is the song I hear when Ashton is standing in the cemetery, preparing to bury her father. The song itself isn't necessarily sad, but the connotation I make between it and the scene is enough that I can't hear it when I'm not writing.
Crap ::sniffles:: I need a tissue.
The Fray--That's Enough for Now
***Correction*** The song I don't have access to is Luke Asher--The Hearts God Made and the Fools Who Break Them. Man, what a song. Go to iTunes! You'll be happy, I promise! http://www.myspace.com/lukeasher/music
