TUNE IN TUESDAY


Hi all!  Tune in Tuesday is a meme hosted over at GReads that showcases music, and since I happened to run across some fantastic songs recently, I thought I'd do a post.  This first one I heard on a movie soundtrack, and I was like "Who is that???"  Of course, I should've known it was The XX; they are awesome!  The song's called "Shelter."



Then I found this version (which I actually think I love a little bit more; like I said, The XX rocks, but I'm a big fan of sad songs lol.  Don't judge :p)  This cover of "Shelter" is by fifteen-year-old Birdy.



Have you heard any great songs recently?  Read any good books that made you wish they had soundtracks??  Hope you guys enjoy!

  1. haven't heard these songs before. I can't think of a book that left me wanting a soundtrack, but I love the 500 days of summer soundtrack.

  3. I've never heard of either of the songs, but am loving the first one. I have to add them to my Pandora. I love the Twilight soundtrack (I won't judge you if you won't judge me :)lol) and the Empire Records soundtrack. As far as a book that I think needs a soundtrack hmm... Well I just finished reading Fixing Delilah by Sarah Ockler and since one of the characters performs at a coffee shop it would have an awesome soundtrack with acoustic songs and a few sad, sappy songs which are my favorite :)

    1. I loved several of the songs for the first Twilight movie; the others were awesome, too, but that was my personal fave ;) I should probably check out Fixing... It's been on my radar for a while
