in the next room, and is it wrong that I’m enjoying the manly grunting noises? It’s been fourteen years and I love you like that first date when we missed the movie because we couldn’t stop talking to each other and time ceased to matter. We were who we were the day we met. It doesn’t change; it just gets better.
Much love,
Jaine
Playlists
As always, some of the songs on the Lovely Madness playlists are mentioned in this book; others are songs that captured the feel of a certain scene or that I listened to while writing the book.
The playlists feature rock music, of course, but they also include a lot of other genres that I, and the characters in the book, enjoy as well.
The Lovely Madness playlist is especially close to my heart, as it includes so many incredible Vancouver-based and Canadian musical artists, in an homage to the characters and the “world” of this book. (Canadian artists are in bold, in case you’re interested in knowing which artists on the playlists are part of the “real” Canadian music scene.)
You’ll find the links to the full playlists on Spotify and Apple Music here.
