Its random but a song that reminds me of dark haired morally grey character is "Rasputin by Boney M." because the lyrics go " He was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow
Most people looked at him with terror and with fear
But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear"
And I hear it as : Author : He was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow
Most people looked at him with terror and with fear
Bookworms: But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear
Its random but it works for me

One song that really screams enemies to lovers is "true love by P!NK". Like the whole lyrics is just perfect for that trope.
some examples from the text:
"You're an asshole but I love you"
or
"But I hate you, I really hate you, so much I think it must be true love"
:))

Same with the Rasputin point! Always the tall dark-haired morally gray character 😂 But personally Trouble by Valerie Broussard reminds me of Six of Crows. I’m quite sure the fandom just adopted it as their theme song.

Omg same

"Love Me Like You Do" reminds me of a lot of romance books and "Radioactive" reminds me a lot of post apocalyptic books :)

i once saw a tiktok saying ‘cruel summer’ by taylor swift was based off of conversations with friends by sally rooney and now it’s all i can think of when i hear the song, it makes perfect sense though LMAO

i feel like 'line without a hook' is like, a very basic book song? every ship i read about goes with it perfectly

monsters and war of hearts by ruelle always remind me of books, i cant remember which specific ones but eve just the vibe like misters reminds me of being chased away and war of hearts fits every forbidden love story

I agree with the thing about Line Without A Hook, it seems like a vague book song for ships xD Also Favorite Crime by Olivia Rodrigo kinda reminds me of Kanej. Not completely but it gives me those vibes.

1 step forward, 3 steps back- it ends with us

Wait I also realized that Chiquitita by ABBA gives me happy scene in a book vibes. It’s a pretty song and the piano at the end just gives me so much serotonin.

OMG they way i listened to the end over and over on spotify because it reminded me of love stories

No Body No crime by Taylor swift just gives me the vibe of this murder mystery book about a vindictive young unassuming woman who straight up murders this cheating dude and it turns into a cat and mouse chase of whodunit

OMG that sounds so interesting what book is that

You belong with me by Taylor Swift is literally the song form of most of the cliche best friend to lovers trope books.

I love that song but it reminds me of my least favorite cliche which is -
the main character having a one sided love for their best friend who would literally date anyone but the mc. The best friend is popular and so many people have crush on them. They think have this weird romantic tension with the mc which they brush off as platonic love. They would also unintentionally hurt the mc by talking about their relationship ( with someone who is coincidentally threatened and jealous of mc). In the end, the main love interest realizes mc is their ‘one true love’
Bonus points if there is a second love interest appears who is nice and likes the mc but his only contribution to the plot is making the main love interest jealous.

I HATE this cliche and you belong with me reminds me so much of this.

Oh boy, where do I start..
Favourite Tshirt by Jake Scott - Cute teen romance (Stay with Me by Mila Grey)
Goddess by Xana - Any fantasy with a strong female lead ( Dark in you Series by Suzanne Wright)
Good 4 you by Olivia Roderigo- One of Us is lying series by Karen McManus
Achilles Come Down - definitely a song for any Greek Retelling

“Two of us” by Louis Tomlinson, reminds me of Celeana and Sam from the assassin’s blade.

favourite crime by olivia rodrigo reminds me of the song of achilles /3

Castle by Halsey reminds me of Alina

uhhhhh i’m sorry to inform you but as far as i know… that book doesn’t exist xD i’m just saying that the song gives off that vibe, like if it was a book it’ll have this sort of murder mystery vibe… so yeah i don’t have a title of a book to give you 😭 but maybe someone else might’ve read a book that has a similar storyline ? (if you do please reply to this… i wanna read it too xD)

The song Sugar Pills by I DONT KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME reminds me of The Mall by Megan McAfferty

okay so, we all know Eleanor and Park, cheesy but very sad YA love story. and we all know about the racial stereotypes that appear through the novel. besides the fact that the book heavily projects racist ideologies on the main character Park, and his asian family, the book is about falling in love for this first time. my fave artists girl in red and beabadoobee wrote a song called, funnily enough, eleanor and park, based off the book, and it’s such a beautiful song, to accompany a really good YA romance, however the racism in the book will never be excused!

i played Transparent Soul by Willow on repeat while reading Gideon The Ninth!! the song fits Gideon & Harrow’s vibes so well for some reason.

also, Enemy by Oliver Tree is the perfect song for Jamie and Charlotte’s relationship in A Study in Charlotte :)

the night we met by lord huron is my absolute favourite song to listen to when i know that a character death is coming

Hello !
Can somebody recommend me bookish songs which are like very upbeat yet kind of angst in a way ? Something I can listen to while running and imagining myself as a book character.

No Body No Crime by Taylor Swift. It's like reading a novel.

Dusk till dawn reminds me of Will, Jem and Tessa

Talking body by Tove lo reminds me of ACOTAR, specifically feyre and rhysand

Hush Hush by Asher Monroe reminds me of Hush Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick

The title all of us villians makes me sing that pumped up kicks song but I sing it like this:
"ALL OF US VILLIANS WITH OUR PUMPED UP KICKS, WITH OUR PUMPED UP KICKS"

Shadow of Intents- From Ruin... We Rise, the intro to that song reminds me of the book I'm writing.

Helen of Troy by Lorde really reminds me of Trials of Apollo because of the lyrics
"I don't wanna get lost, I wanna worship the sun"
and I remember that Apollo said something about Piper being like Helen of Troy or something
"this whole time I've been playin it coy, the city's falling for me like I'm Helen of Troy"
