Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature/meme hosted here at The Broke and the Bookish. The topic for this week is Top Ten Songs That I Wish Were Books.
For those of you who don't know I absolutely LOVE music! I am as into music as I am books and many times both of these have been connected in my life. Ever since I was little I have loved to listen to music and read at the same time. I still do this to this day and it's probably my favorite thing to do. So when I saw this topic I got pretty excited! I picked these songs because I can see a vivid story in my mind and I would love to see these as novels.
I tried to add the songs on here from Spotify, but I could only get some to work and the others kept disappearing. I have no clue why, but I'm very annoyed! I added the links to the YouTube videos though.
1. The Freshman By: The Verve Pipe- I think this would be such a good and dramatic story to read about! The Freshman
2. Hotel California By: The Eagles- I can picture this being done as a very creepy and ghostly novel. It would be AHHHHmazing!! Hotel California
3. Baba O'Riley By: The Who- Is it just me or would this make such a kick ass angsty YA novel? Baba O'Riley
4. Pour Some Sugar On Me By: Def Leppard- Dayuuuuuuuum this would make a hot erotica novel. Can Tom Cruise be on the cover? Pour Some Sugar On Me
5. Bohemian Rhapsody By: Queen- C'mon the story is already there! Someone seriously needs to make this a book. Right away! Bohemian Rhapsody
6. The Boys of Summer By: Don Henley- Hello awesome NA summery novel!! I see a beautiful beach picture on the cover. The Boys of Summer
7. Hey There Delilah By: Plain White T's- I love novels about music! Especially ones with a love story and this song would make a perfect musical book. Hey There Delilah
8. Bad Girls By: M.I.A.- I can totally picture this as a book about some bad bitches that are out there making money and living life to the fullest. Bad Girls
9. I Will Follow You Into The Dark By: Death Cab For Cutie- I see this song as a very suspenseful book about a creepy stalker that eventually leads to a dramatic murder/suicide. :x I Will Follow You Into The Dark
10. For Emma By: Bon Iver- Maybe this would be more of a novella? A very interesting one though! For Emma
Honorable Mentions:
Chandelier By: Sia- I just want Sia to write an autobiography! That would be so awesome. I want to know all about her life. Chandelier
Falling Slowly By: Glen Hansard- Okay, I really just want Once the movie turned into a book! I adore that movie. Falling Slowly
Okay, that's it! What songs would you like to see as books? Do you agree with any of my choices? :)
You have such good ideas. I really like Hotel California and The Freshmen - both would be great books. I love music but had difficulty with (and not a lot of time to spend on) this week's theme. Great list!
ReplyDeleteThanks!! I know how that goes, I didn't have a lot of time to do last week's TTT.
DeleteOoo yea to Queen and the Eagles..I would totally read both books!!
ReplyDeleteRight?! They would be so good!!
DeleteBad Girls would make such a epic book!!! Awesome Topic.
ReplyDeleteTori @InToriLex
I agree! It could be such a cool and fun book. :D
DeleteOew great list !! You've picked some great songs :)
ReplyDeleteThank you!! :o) This was a fun TTT for me.
DeleteI ADORE I'll Follow You Into The Dark and Hey There Delilah. Those will make amazing books!
ReplyDeleteI love your other picks, too! Amazing list!
Thank you! I would seriously love those as books soooooooo much! :D
Delete♥ your picks! I would love to see The Freshman and Falling Slowly as books!!!
ReplyDeletemy TTT
Yey! Another person who likes Falling Slowly! There aren't that many. Well that I've found anyway. :D
DeleteGreat list, Erin! I would most definitely read a Bad Girls novel, that would be amazing.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I would seriously buy that up. Looking back I think I should have made that one higher on the list!
DeleteThis is a really creative TTT! I've only heard a handful of these songs so I can't comment on too many of them, but the themes sound great! Death cab for Cutie sounds like a great emo/contemporary romance!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I agree about the death cab song. Gosh, it would be so emo. Haha! I love it.
DeleteI love the idea of using lyrics- I wish i would have done that. :) Great post- I agree with so many of these. Baba O' Riley- THAT would be an awesome book, seems like. And there are so many Queen songs that would rock as a book.
ReplyDeletePour Some Sugar on Me I think I heard a few times before I ACTUALLY listened to the lyrics, and I was like okay then! LOL so yeah. And Don Henley/ Eagles- those could be some cool stories... :)
Thanks! For real I think a Baba O'Riley book would just kick butt! Haha right? When I was a kid and I heard Pour Some Sugar On Me I never thought about it, but when I got older I was like, "Oh my!" Haha!
DeleteWhat an interesting Top Ten idea. :D I like #'s 8 and 10 especially. Great post, Erin!
ReplyDeleteAlyssa @ The Eater of Books!
Thanks!! I think 10 would be a novella or something but yeah definitely cool! :D
DeleteNumbers 4,7,&9 are some of my faves! Of course, Chandelier is a great one also. I love all things Sia!
ReplyDeleteSia is amazing!!
DeletePour Some Sugar on Me & The Boys of Summer are two of my most favorite songs ever! I would love to read books that have that feel to them, especially The Boys of Summer. That would be such an emotional love story!
ReplyDeleteJen @ Star-Crossed Book Blog
Yes, it sure would be emotional! And sooooo good! :)
DeleteGreat list! I love Hotel California.
ReplyDeleteKrystianna @ Downright Dystopian

DeleteOh my god, these are such good choices. I can see Stephanie Perkins writing the Hey There, Delilah novel! And Baba O'Riley would be a great book too. Ugh, I love music. Wish I had done this list XD
