New Linger Song

None other than one of the famous Beatles song 'Girl'

But the Jim Sturgess's version!

Lovely right!

New Linger Songs!

So, unbelievably, it is now 8-some weeks away from Linger's release day (and I'm revoltingly happy to report that I will indeed be doing a launch day event in Williamsburg, VA, details to follow). And it's a Friday. That means it's time for some more music from the playlists. It also means it is time for my washing machine to die, apparently. It made that sound from Monty Python's Search for the Holy Grail ("the castle of eeuuuuuugggghhh") and just stopped. I am bitter.


Anyway, two songs this week as well. One that represents Mercy Falls to me, and another which will forever be associated with a certain section of the book (thanks to Editor MixTape for that one.) These are also two songs that I didn't like right away -- it was only after several listens that I really liked them. It'll be interesting to see the verdict from you guys.

Rock of Ages by Gillian Welch


Out Come the Wolves by Jacob Golden

In Progress

I'm in the progress of adding new songs to the playlist.

You can listen to some now.

Paramore seems to have lyrics that fit Shiver well.

If you have any songs that you'll like to see on the playlist →

just leave a comment! And it might even be featured as Music Monday!

More Linger Songs!

I absolutely love the first song. Source, Maggie's LiveJournal.

New Linger Playlist Songs

It's Friday and Maggie gives us two(2) new songs from her Linger playlist.

Okay, so it’s Friday, and just over 11 weeks until LINGER comes out, so it’s time for me to put up another song from the LINGER playlist (well, two, since I’m putting up one from the Sam/ Grace list and one from the Isabel/ Cole list).

So. LINGER. (see, I told you I was bringing it back around). I knew I wanted another narrator, and I knew I wanted this narrator to show us things about Sam. By not being those things. Like standing next to a really tall guy on the subway and realizing, suddenly, that you are very short. I didn’t want this narrator to be just interesting on his own. I wanted him to be interesting in such a way that he heightened the stakes and character of Sam. So that is Cole’s baby origin story.

And I think the music reflects that. The playlists, I mean. They are night and day — complementary opposites. Does that even make sense to you guys as readers and writers? Or is it only in my strange head that that works out?

Anyway, for this week’s tunes off the Linger playlist, I pulled the ones that most embody Sam and Cole, respectively. The lyrics for both of them are really appropriate too (they aren’t always — I often have a song on the playlist just for the sound of it). Here ya go.

A Message by Coldplay


Coming Undone by Korn

New Linger Playlist Song

Another Friday means another Linger Playlist music release.
"Spaceship" by Jonas and Plunkett.


"Party" by Clint Mantsell.


This is VERY exciting! I can't wait for July 10 anymore!!

Two New Songs For Linger Playlist

As I mentioned before, every Friday, Maggie will reveal songs from her Linger Playlist. Today we have 2!

Okay, I am running out the door to a Thing 1/ Thing 2 production, and then straight onto the airport from there, but of course it is Friday and it is 13-ish weeks until Linger comes out, and that means it’s time to post another song from the Linger playlist – songs I listened to while writing Linger.
Last week was “Close Your Eyes” by Young Love. This week is a twofer — both Jose Gonzalez’s “Teardrop” and the original by Massive Attack*. One was used during Sam chapters and another during Grace ones. Which do you like better?
(as usual, I have to say: if you love this song, get your butt to Amazon or iTunes or wherever it is you buy music and spend the buck to show you care.)

José González – ‘Teardrop’


Massive Attack- ‘Teardrop’

First Song From the Linger Playlist

Maggie Stiefvater will be revealing one song from Linger’s playlist each Friday until the book comes out on July 20th!

Okay, so it is a stunning 14-ish weeks until Linger’s release date (yes, math, we don’t do that sort of thing around here. I am still working out how to embed a playlist on here without bringing the fear and rage of ASCAP down upon me* but until then, I thought it would be Highly Entertaining to me (and hopefully to you guys) to post one song from Linger’s playlist each Friday until the book comes out. I’m guessing this may culminate in a no-holds barred musical fiesta prize pack or something like that, but further plans about that will be announced after April 15th when I turn in FOREVER and get my brain back.


So. The deal on my playlists is that I listen to music constantly while writing — stuff that is the mood that I have in the book or want for the book. And that way, when I get distracted or I’m out of town, I can just put on my playlist and instantly get back into it. They get kind of unwieldy — I have 3 hours of music on the full Linger playlist, for instance — so I’m going to present the Essence of Linger Playlist — the ones that got the most play.


*currently, I’ve found that I could become an iTunes affiliate and embed sample playlists that way, but that would give me a portion of profits each time someone bought a song that way, and it makes me uncomfortable to bring money into it.


Anyway. So. Week One. Song One. Here it is.


(as usual, I have to say: if you love this song, get your butt to Amazon or iTunes or wherever it is you buy music and spend the buck to show you care.)


“Close Your Eyes” by Young Love.
