Woman of Wolves Playlist

I've been working on these character playlists all weekend and am pretty excited by how they're turning out. This is one for Shadow, the wolf turned woman. Enjoy!

Wild Things—Alessia Cara

“Leave us alone, we don’t need your policies

We have no apologies for being

Find me where the wild things are.”

               

Fast as You Can –Fiona Apple

“I let the beast in too soon

I don’t know how to live without

My hand on his throat, I fight him always and still.”

Wolves—Josh Ritter

“I started listening to the wolves in the timber

The wolves in the timber at night

I heard their songs when I looked in the mirror

In the howls and the moons around my eyes.”

Wild Eyes—Paul Baribeau

“We’re not those kids anymore

I’ve never seen wild eyes like yours before.”

Strange Girl—The Airborne Toxic Event

“We traded blindness

For wisdom and some lines around our eyes

But you just act like

It was a fact of life, it didn’t come as a surprise.

You’re such a strange girl.”

Howl—Laura Marling

This entire song is so perfect for Shadow. I think all the lyrics are pretty applicable, and the tone of the music really seems to fit.

“Kissing the rain off my shoulders

Answering questions with stares

Holding my chest like I’m a wild horse

‘bout to run away scared.

Howl at the moon, I’ll come find you.”

Rocks—Ryan Adams

This is another song where I think the entire thing is spot on for the Shadow character.

“I am not rock, I am not rain

I’m just another shadow in the steam

That’s been washed away after all these years

I am not rocks in the river

I am bursting into tears for it.

Another day is dawning.”

Desperado—Rihanna

“I can be a lone wolf with you

Gotta get up out of here

And you ain’t leaving me behind

I know you won’t,

Cuz we share common interests.”

Hearts Unknown—The Menzingers

“Hearts unknown

Beat alone

Who’s god will save your soul?”

The Cave—Mumford and Sons

“I’ll find strength in pain

I will change my ways

I’ll know my name as it’s called again.”

Carnivore—Jewel

To be honest, I mostly picked this song because it’s called “Carnivore” and it’s one of my favorites. But, it fits with the playlist.

“I used to know you

But not anymore

Your substance has been subtracted

Word by word.”

Magpie to the Morning—Neko Case

“You run an airtight mission,

A Cousteau expedition

To find a diamond at the bottom of the drain.”

Come as you Are – Nirvana

“Come as you are,

As you were,

As I want you to be.”

The Beast – Laura Marling

“I’d suggest that you be grateful

That it’s your blood on my hands

And assume yourself weaker

The fall of man

And lookout for the beast

Tonight he lies with me

Tonight he lies with me

Here come the beasts.”
