Music to My Books: “Bookish Music Monday” Post #3

“Bookish Music Monday” is a fun, weekly meme hosted by Parafantasy. To join, find a song that has lyrics or a music video that reminds you of a book or just share music that you like to listen to while you read!

Today I would like to share the song Run by Snow Patrol.

This song is awesome. I listen to it constantly and it is perfect accompaniment for many of my favorite books. But it most perfectly fits the ending of Lauren Oliver’s Delirium. Thinking about Delirium and this song brings tears to my eyes. They are a seems-like-they-were-made-for-each-other perfect combination This song captures the emotions of the ending of the book.Those who have read Delirium know title of that the this song, its lyrics, and its tone make it perfect for the last scene. Seriously, did I mention the the title??!!! Too perfect!

Run.

A beautiful song that reminds me of a beautiful book.

Delirium

Lyrics from azlyrics:

"Run"

I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done
And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Away from here
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbye
I nearly do
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
Slower slower
We don't have time for that
All I want's to find an easy way
To get out of our little heads
Have heart, my dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if it's just for a few days
Making up for all this mess
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
