Contest: A song for a vampire


So, Michelle over at Novels On The Run is holding an awesome contest.


Do you love music?  Playlists?  Can you fit the perfect song to any character or situation?


Michelle asked me, in her interview, if I could list the songs that could describe the characters in THE IMMORTAL RULES.  Allie, Kanin, Zeke, Jackal, Sarren, Allie and Zeke's friendship, Allie and Kanin's friendship, and a few others.  So, if you're curious as to what those songs are, head on over to her blog and you can listen to them all, as she was kind enough to put them up. 


However, she did manage to stump me with one question.  Allie and Kanin. 



Allison and Kanin’s Friendship:

Julie: I honestly could not find a good song for Allie and Kanin, though I know there is probably a perfect one out there somewhere. They have such a complex relationship, not really father-daughter, although Kanin is her sire and teaches her everything she needs to know about being a vampire. Possibly their relationship could be classified as mentor-student, but if anyone has the perfect song, I'd love to hear it.



Soooooo, that's where the contest comes in. 


Michelle: Now because I stumped Julie on this Q, I thought why not have a giveaway and ask the people. Julie has wonderfully accepted the role of judge and will choose 2 winners for this question. What song best represents Allison and Kanin’s friendship? Keep reading this interview then enter and Julie may choose you? I think she is rather keen to hear what you all think?





I am!  If you could find the perfect song for Kanin/Allie, I would love to hear it.  Like it says above, I'll be picking two winners for this contest.  Since this is on an Aussie blog tour, Michele's contest is for Australian and international followers only, BUT I will add my own contest here and make it for U.S. and Canada residents. 



So, if you are an Aussie or an international follower, head on over to Novels On The Run, listen to the songs, and enter the contest for a paperback copy of THE IMMORTAL RULES.



If you are a U.S./Canada resident, leave your answer in the comments below.  The prize will be a signed hardback of THE IMMORTAL RULES.  Remember, the contest question is:



"What is the perfect song for the relationship between Allie and Kanin in The Immortal Rules?"

Contest will run until June 7th.  Good luck!


-Julie

  2. Hmm I am good in finding fitting songs but I live in Germany and I didn't read The Immortal Rules yet because it isn't out in my language yet. :(

  3. I am in the U.S.
    "Winter"

    Snow can wait
    I forgot my mittens
    Wipe my nose
    Get my new boots on
    I get a little warm in my heart
    When I think of winter
    I put my hand in my father's glove
    I run off
    Where the drifts get deeper
    Sleeping beauty trips me with a frown
    I hear a voice
    "Your must learn to stand up for yourself
    Cause I can't always be around"
    He says
    When you gonna make up your mind
    When you gonna love you as much as I do
    When you gonna make up your mind
    Cause things are gonna change so fast
    All the white horses are still in bed
    I tell you that I'll always want you near
    You say that things change my dear

    Boys get discovered as winter melts
    Flowers competing for the sun
    Years go by and I'm here still waiting Withering where some snowman was
    Mirror mirror where's the crystal palace
    But I only can see myself
    Skating around the truth who I am
    But I know dad the ice is getting thin

    When you gonna make up your mind
    When you gonna love you as much as I do
    When you gonna make up your mind
    Cause things are gonna change so fast
    All the white horses are still in bed
    I tell you that I'll always want you near
    You say that things change my dear

    Hair is grey
    And the fires are burning
    So many dreams
    On the shelf
    You say I wanted you to be proud of me
    I always wanted that myself

    He says
    When you gonna make up your mind
    When you gonna love you as much as I do
    When you gonna make up your mind
    Cause things are gonna change so fast
    All the white horses have gone ahead
    I tell you that I'll always want you near
    You say that things change
    My dear

  4. I think this is the perfect song! Junior Boys - Teach Me How to Fight. It's very atmospheric and haunting, which also fits the vibe. Here are the lyrics:

    There's some things I forget,
    And if it's wrong, I'll keep it in check,
    'Cause what could I do?
    And if we go out tonight,
    Would there be blood on your shirt?
    And would it taste like bitter shit?
    'Cause I don't know...

    Can you teach me how to fight?
    Show me what it's like to give back pain.
    Show me how you fight, throw him down.

    There are times in the past,
    If I had the nerve I couldn't make it last.
    Courage wasted in the night.
    And is it really so hard?
    Tell your body to forget the words,
    Pushing you to run.
    'Cause I don't know...

    Can you teach me how to fight?
    Show me what it's like to give back pain.
    Show me how you fight, throw him down.

  7. I'm not sure about Allie and Kannin, but I think you should have done one for the group looking for eden. If you did that Paradise by coldplay would have been a good one.

  8. I really think Lonely Boy by the Black Keys. I know it may sound dumb but I always think of Kanin (lonely boy) and then for the part "I got a love that keeps me going) reminds me of Allie. Its a really great song just for the sake of music too! :)

  9. I think this song is perfect: 'The Heart Of Everything' by Within Temptation! Honestly, a whole LOT of Within Temptation seemed to have the right kind of tone. But 'The Heart Of Everything' seemed best to me.

    Here is the link to the song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWDuAReDQYA

    And the lyrics:

    "The Heart Of Everything"

    For the pain and the sorrow caused by my mistakes
    Won't repent to a mortal whom is all to blame
    Now I know I won't make it
    There will be a time we'll get back our freedom
    They can't break what's inside

    I'll face it 'cause it's the heart of everything

    Open up your eyes
    Save yourself from fading away now, don't let it go
    Open up your eyes
    See what you've become, don't sacrifice
    It's truly the heart of everything

    Stay with me now I'm facing my last solemn hour
    Very soon I'll embrace you on the other side
    Hear the crowd in the distance, screaming out my faith
    Now their voices are fading, I can feel no more pain

    I'll face it 'cause it's the heart of everything

    Open up your eyes
    Save yourself from fading away now, don't let it go
    Open up your eyes
    See what you've become, don't sacrifice
    It's truly the heart of everything

    Open up your eyes
    Open up your eyes
    Open up your eyes
    Save yourself from fading away now, don't let it go

    Open up your eyes
    See what you've become, don't sacrifice
    It's truly the heart of everything

  10. Wow, julie, totally keen on this! But...I'm going to have to spend a little more time looking for the perfect song so I'll be bak with an amazing song! Just wanted to say that the immort rules is the best book I've read for a really really long time!

    ReplyDelete
  11. I had to pick an instrumental song: "Keep it in the Family" by Hybrid. It sounds haunting and futuristic and fits the image of the fringes of a vampire city. I can see it playing in the background while Kanin and Allie train together.

  12. I think plans and reveries by black gold is perfect for describing from when he changed her to when he helps her overcome bloodlust.

    You can listen to it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ITZ77usgmA

    Or here are the lyrics:

    Can you breathe at all?
    Do you feel my hand?
    Can you hear me?

    Open up your eyes
    Hold your head up high
    Can you feel me?

    Now don't fake or lie
    Look me in the eyes
    Are you with me?

    Offer up your hand
    Will you try to stand
    And come with me?

    You're sore and bitter
    Worn and tattered on your hands

    All your plans and all your reveries
    Stagger on
    While your tin gods are left behind

    Now you're bleary eyed
    And you're hypnotized
    Are you bleeding?

    Feel the burning cold
    Not what you were told
    Now you're hazy

    Making out their shapes
    Focus on their frames
    Can you hear them?

    Now you're on your feet
    Floating in a sea
    Pins and needles

    You're sore and bitter
    Worn and tattered on your hands

    All your plans and all your reveries
    Stagger on
    While your tin gods are left behind

    All your plans and all your reveries
    Stagger on and stagger on
    While your tin gods are left behind
    Far behind

    I want more (I want more)
    Give me more (Give me more)
    I want the burn and bliss again (Burn and bliss again)

    I want more (I want more)
    Give me more (Give me more)
    I want the burn and bliss again (Burn and bliss again, again, again)

    I want more (I want more)
    Give me more (Give me more)
    I want the burn and bliss again (Again, again, again)

    All your plans and all your reveries
    Stagger on
    While your tin gods are left behind

    All your plans and all your reveries
    Stagger on and stagger on
    While your tin gods are left behind
    Far behind

    Can you hear me?
    Can you hear me?
    Can you hear me?
    Can you hear me?

  13. Am I the only one who thinks something more might be going on between Allie and Kanin? ;3 I loved Zeke's character and their relationship but I have a feeling the vampire thing is gonna get in the way a lot. :( I just get the feeling Allie is gonna have one of those infamous love triangles. And not the normal one where you know the girl is gonna end up with that guy no matter what the other does (Twilight). Maybe I'm just crazy -_- Love your books, Julie! Keep writing!

    ReplyDelete
  14. You're not the only one!
    Honestly, but I still loved the book--it was awesome, I thought Kanin and Allie would've been better as a couple. Their relationship, to me at least, is less platonic and more fierce and fiery. It has that hot-ness of an angst character(Kanin) and kickass --or badass, whichever is to your tastes-- Allie. Together, I feel that they would both be the most badass couple and rank among the top of my top couples of all time. I mean, Zeke's character is cute, sweet, and nice, but with Ash and Meghan, I feel that your angsty, hot, forbidden type of relationships are best. You could be trying out a new type of couples, but Julie--I love you, really I do--I feel that your bittersweet, badass, forbidden relationships are the better of the two.
    Prime example: Ash and Meghan.
    But, since this is supposed to be a song selection, i would pick the song: Beyond--Emotional Piano. It's by Matthew Mayer and I had constantly listened to this as I was reading Blood of Eden. It had corresponded amazingly to Kanin + Allie. The dynamics, rhythm, and notes kept me at the edge of the seat and i had always loved it--and still love it.
    Of course, there's also another song i love for this beautiful piece for this amazing book.
    How about this: Where Have You Been by Rihanna--though it would probably fit a more romantic relationship.
    Eh.
    If not, how about these?
    Witin Temptation: Memories, All I Need, and/or Stand My Ground.
    Azu: For You
    Gackt: Vanilla( a bit naughty? -eye wiggle-
    Yamai: Akahitoha
    Usher: Scream, There Goes My Baby, and/or Here I Stand
    Usa or Len: Sadistic Vampire
    Bruno Mars: Count On Me
    Miku: Can't I Even Dream
    Kaito and Miku's: Canterella
    David Guetta feat Crystal Nicole: I'm a Machine
    Super Junior: Opera
    Lady Gaga: Scheise, Highway Unicorn, Paper Gangsta?(not so sure now)
    Heck, how about GD and Top: BABY GOOD NIGHT
    BIGBANG: Blue? Lies? Haru Haru!?!?
    As of now, I think everyone can see that I'm getting a little(coughcough) desperate now.
    Marron 5 feat Wiz Khalifa: Payphone
    I'm at my wit's end trying to win this prize--which i really wish and hope I will.
    I hope that maybe you'll find a pick among this crazily strewn list.
    Love, Wishes, and A Lot've Hope,
    Emily

  16. I don't think the whole "couple" thing with Allie and Kanin would work out because it seems to me that whoever sires you is sort of related as is everyone else they sire...

  18. Thank you, yet again, for another contest in which we might win AN AWESOME AMAZING BOOK! :D
    The song I think would fit them perfectly is...
    Welcome To The Family- by Avenged Sevenfold
    :D
    I think it fits them perfectly. I can't fit all of the lyrics in here (It's a pretty long song), but I will put in a few.
    ~Hey kid
    Do I have your attention?
    I know the way you've been livin'
    Life so wreckless, tragedy endless
    Welcome to the family
    Hey (hey)
    There's somethin' missin'
    Only time will alter your vision
    Never in question, lethal injection
    Welcome to the family~
    and some more
    ~Hey
    I have to question,
    What's with the violent aggression?
    Details blurry, lost him too early
    Welcome to the family
    Hey
    Why won't you listen?
    Can't help the people you're missing
    It's been done, a casualty re-run
    Welcome to the family~
    Hope you like.

    Song: "Every Road" by The Maine

    Lyrics:
    Oh it’s safe to say I knew it, yeah I knew it all along
    Asking the same questions, singing the same songs
    I’ve been gone for a while, been traveling along
    Searching for a new life when I already had my own
    So walk back home on every road
    On every road we cross alone
    We’re thinking of those we left back home
    So follow the line and I’ll be your guide
    Cause we’re the luck ones
    On every road
    Yeah it’s safe to say I knew that all the selfish things I’d do
    Would eventually come creeping back around
    Oh way back when you called me young, said we’re innocent and dumb
    I knew that you’d come creeping back around again
    So walk back home on every road
    On every road we cross alone
    We’re thinking of those we left back home
    So follow the line and I’ll be your guide
    Cause we’re the lucky ones
    On every road
    Huh
    So walk back home on every road
    On every road we cross alone
    We’re thinking of those we left back home
    So follow the line and I’ll be your guide
    Cause we’re the luck ones
    Yeahyeahyeahyeahyeahyeah
    So walk back home on every road
    On every road we cross alone
    We’re thinking of those we left back home
    So follow the line and I’ll be your guide
    Cause we’re the luck ones (So lucky baby)
    So walk back home on every road
    On every road we cross alone
    We’re thinking of those we left back home
    So follow the line and I’ll be your guide
    Cause we’re the luck ones
    On every road

  20. Poison - Alice Cooper

    Your cruel device
    your blood, like ice
    One look, could kill
    My pain, your thrill

    I want to love you but I better not touch (don?t touch)
    I want to hold you, but my senses tell me to stop
    I want to kiss you but I want it too much (too much)
    I want to taste you but your lips are venomous poison
    You're poison, running through my veins
    Poison
    I don't want to break these chains

    Your mouth, so hot
    Your web, I'm caught
    Your skin, so wet
    Black lace, on sweat

    I hear you calling and it's needles and pins (and pins)
    I want to hurt you just to hear you screaming my name
    Don't want to touch you but you're under my skin (deep in)
    I want to taste you but your lips are venomous poison
    You're poison, running through my veins
    Poison
    I don't want to break these chains
    Poison...

    (guitar solo)

    One look, could kill
    My pain, your thrill

    I want to love you but I better not touch (don?t touch)
    I want to hold you, but my senses tell me to stop
    I want to kiss you but I want it too much (to much)
    I want to taste you but your lips are venomous poison
    You're poison, running through my veins
    Poison
    I don't want to break these chains
    Poison (Poi-son)

    I want to love you but I better not touch (don?t touch)
    I want to hold you, but my senses tell me to stop

    I want to taste you but your lips are venomous poison
    Yeah
    Well I don't want to break these chains
    Poison
    Runnin' deep inside my veins
    Burnin' deep inside my brain
    Poison
    And I don't want to break these chains
    Poison

  21. Hmm, this is a hard one. I couldn't really think of anything other than 'Bring Me to Life' by Evanescence.

    Lyrics:

    How can you see into my eyes like open doors?
    Leading you down into my core where I’ve become so numb
    Without a soul my spirit's sleeping somewhere cold
    until you find it there and lead it back home

    (Wake me up)
    Wake me up inside
    (I can’t wake up)
    Wake me up inside
    (Save me)
    call my name and save me from the dark
    (Wake me up)
    bid my blood to run
    (I can’t wake up)
    before I come undone
    (Save me)
    save me from the nothing I’ve become

    now that I know what I’m without
    you can't just leave me
    breathe into me and make me real
    bring me to life

    (Wake me up)
    Wake me up inside
    (I can’t wake up)
    Wake me up inside
    (Save me)
    call my name and save me from the dark
    (Wake me up)
    bid my blood to run
    (I can’t wake up)
    before I come undone
    (Save me)
    save me from the nothing I’ve become

    Bring me to life
    (I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside)
    Bring me to life

    frozen inside without your touch
    Without your love, darling
    only you are the life among the dead

    all this time I can't believe I couldn't see
    kept in the dark but you were there in front of me
    I’ve been sleeping a thousand years it seems
    got to open my eyes to everything
    Without a thought, without a voice, without a soul
    don't let me die here
    there must be something more
    bring me to life

    (Wake me up)
    Wake me up inside
    (I can’t wake up)
    Wake me up inside
    (Save me)
    call my name and save me from the dark
    (Wake me up)
    bid my blood to run
    (I can’t wake up)
    before I come undone
    (Save me)
    save me from the nothing I’ve become

    (Bring me to life)
    I’ve been living a lie, there’s nothing inside
    (Bring me to life)

    Thanks for including Canada Julie!:)

  23. Safe & Sound by Taylor Swift ft. Civil Wars
    I remember tears streaming down your face
    When I said, "I'll never let you go"
    When all those shadows almost killed your light
    I remember you said, "Don't leave me here alone"
    But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight

    Just close your eyes
    The sun is going down
    You'll be alright
    No one can hurt you now
    Come morning light
    You and I'll be safe and sound

    Don't you dare look out your window darling
    Everything's on fire
    The war outside our door keeps raging on
    Hold on to this lullaby
    Even when the music's gone
    Gone

    Just close your eyes
    The sun is going down
    You'll be alright
    No one can hurt you now
    Come morning light
    You and I'll be safe and sound

    Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
    Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
    La La (La La)
    La La (La La)
    Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
    Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
    La La (La La)

    Just close your eyes
    You'll be alright
    Come morning light,
    You and I'll be safe and sound...

    Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh oh oh. [x7]

  24. I haven't read the book, so I don't really know these characters. But for some reason Storm by Lifehouse popped into my head after reading the description of Allison and Kanin's relationship.

    Here's a link to the song:

  25. "All That I'm Living For" - Evanescence

    All that I'm living for,
    All that I'm dying for,
    All that I can't ignore alone at night.

    I can feel the night beginning.
    Separate me from the living.
    Understanding me,
    After all I've seen.

    Piecing every thought together,
    Find the words to make me better.
    If I only knew how to pull myself apart.

    All that I'm living for,
    All that I'm dying for,
    All that I can't ignore alone at night.
    All that I'm wanted for,
    Although I wanted more.
    Lock the last open door, my ghosts are gaining on me.

    I believe that dreams are sacred.
    Take my darkest fears and play them
    Like a lullaby,
    Like a reason why,
    Like a play of my obsessions,
    Make me understand the lesson,
    So I'll find myself,
    So I won't be lost again.


    All that I'm living for,
    All that I'm dying for,
    All that I can't ignore alone at night.
    All that I'm wanted for,
    Although I wanted more.
    Lock the last open door, my ghosts are gaining on me.

    Guess I thought I'd have to change the world to make you see me,
    To be the one.
    I could have run forever,
    But how far would I have come
    Without mourning your love?

    All that I'm living for,
    All that I'm dying for,
    All that I can't ignore alone at night.
    All that I'm wanted for,
    Although I wanted more.
    Lock the last open door, my ghosts are gaining on me.

    Should it hurt to love you?
    Should I feel like I do?

    Should I lock the last open door,
    My ghosts are gaining on me.

  27. Im reading Immortal Rules right now and I love it!!!!! Julie u did an amazing job as usual l. I personally think that Natural Born Killer by Avenged Sevenfold would be a good song. It describes how Kanin tells Allie your a vampire and will kill and how Allie doesn't want to.

  28. Eyes Open by Taylor Swift. I think this song relates to the training period with Allie and Kanin. Kanin teaches Allie how to be careful and cautious of her surroundings and that she can not go back to her old life. That everyone will see and deal with her as a monster.

  29. I just finished Immortal Rules! Oh my goodness! I loved it! Anyways I think Magenta by Nano defines Allie's and Kanin's relationship to me.( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGoC_qvx7Cs&feature=plcp )

    This song reminds me of how Allie remembers Kanin's lessons, and how he supports her when she first becomes a vampire. This song also reminds me of how Allie wants to help with the nightmares...

    Lol. I also imagined Allie had a voice like Nano, she's one of my absolute favorite singers...

  30. Hi there Julie! My song choice for the relationship between Allie and Kanin is *My Immortal by Evanescence*. I chose this song because, well one, the tital of the song. My Immortal as in how Allie is now an immmortal vampire and how Kanin is also an immortal. The lyrics spoke out to me because it kind of shows what Kanin might have been thinking.. Fighting for her and teaching her and showing her how to survive as a vampire. The one verse in this song spoke out to me and that was -Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams-. This verse reminded me of when Allie was seeing through Kanins eyes in her dreams. It was like when she was seeing his face and it was a nightmare ruining her her dreams. Also, these lyrics to me can be spoken from Allie or Kanin's perspective. It kind of goes off and on, or back and forth, between them. Anyways this is my choice for the relationship between them. :)
    The song can be found here:

  31. Hi, I'd just like to start off with a thanks for doing all these contests, they're really fun :D
    and also, I'd like to say I didn't read the book (YET). I meant to read it from my school library but the person who took it out held it for so long, now i can't take any books out because of school ending soon >:( grr.

    But I'd still like to suggest some songs based on the description you gave me, some people already suggested "Eyes Open" and "Safe and Sound" though
    So I will suggest more songs
    (in the next post)

  32. Try - Nelly Furtado

    All I know
    Is everything is not as it's sold
    but the more I grow the less I know
    And I have lived so many lives
    Though I'm not old
    And the more I see, the less I grow
    The fewer the seeds the more I sow

    (Chorus)
    Then I see you standing there
    Wanting more from me
    And all I can do is try
    Then I see you standing there
    Wanting more from me
    And all I can do is try

    I wish I hadn't seen all of the realness
    And all the real people are really not real at all
    The more I learn, the more I learn
    The more I cry, the more I cry
    As I say goodbye to the way of life
    I thought I had designed for me

    (Chorus)

    Maybe "Heavy Rope" by LIGHTS?


    There's this japanese song (I hope you don't mind foreign music) called "Futatsu no Kodou to Akai Tsumi" by ON/OFF
    I'll just give you the translation ;)

    In this red, red, red
    Dream dream shaking
    We cant be separated

    Already, every time when I'm stifled to death after I give up again and again
    My emotions that have no place to go wake me up
    Your unblemished smile knows it's an existence
    So distant that its cruel

    Even though the incurable wound only eats away at my heart
    Even now I cant completely hold back my thoughts that dwell within the darkness

    (Chorus)
    Shaking in red, in red, in red
    To the edge of the dream, of the dream
    We met; destiny begins to turn
    A secret that no one, no one knows about
    I fall, I fall, I fall
    I certainly cant return anymore, even if I carve out my my sins

    While I was walking in the abyss of loneliness, I was saved
    By realistic eyes that never change
    But a shadow born as the light is bright
    Deeply and pronouncedly creeps up to me

    The two heartbeats are exactly like mirrors facing each other
    The pains are similar but different & continue infinitely

    Burning in red, in red, in red
    Erasing everything, everything
    An unfulfilled illusion begins to move
    Strongly, strongly
    Overcoming, overcoming, overcoming the fleeting night
    I certainly cant escape, even if I drown in my sins

    (Chorus)

    "I'm not the one" by 3OH!3

    You're way too young to be broken.
    You're way too young to fall apart.
    You're way too young to play these games,
    But you better start,
    But you better start.

    This is when it starts,
    From the beating of your heart
    Till the streetlamps talk to you.

    Jumping off of the edge,
    Or asleep in your head,
    Everything's turning dark to you.

    I went to pick up the parts,
    The doctor's hiding the charts,
    He won't let me see this side of you.

    It's on the tip of my tongue,
    You know you're way too young
    To have someone lie to you.

    (Chorus)
    I'm not the one, I'm not the one who wants to hurt you.
    I'm not the one, I'm not the one who wants to hurt you.
    You'd better find somebody else and get a hold of yourself.
    I'm not the one, I'm not the one who wants to hurt you.

    You're way too young to be broken.
    You're way too young to fall apart.
    You're way too young to play these games,
    But you'd better start,
    But you'd better start.

    It was the second I lit
    Your first cigarette,
    I forget who you used to be.

    And I bit my lip
    The second you sipped
    The poison that was mixed for me.

    (Chorus)

    Drink the poison lightly,
    'Cause there are deeper and darker things than you.
    I know 'cause I've been there too.
    I know it might seem frightening
    To have the world fall apart right under your shoes.
    Trust me,
    You'll make it through.

    (Chorus)


    "Lights" by Ellie Goulding?

  33. Hi!! First I have to say, I just LOVED your book!! I finished it in one day, but as you can image, people were not happy... I paid attention to NO ONE. lol. The relationship between Allison and Kanin is thought-provoking. Just one word (or song) wouldn't be able to describe it. So, this contest was challenging, but in a good way :) It's the summer after all, so can't let that brain turn to mush. lol. When I think of Allie and Kanin, the song that comes to mind is Burn it Down by Linkin Park. I just love it and I hope you do too! Thanks :D Sarah
