We love Cassie's playlists she always shares with fans prior to her book's release. Just in case you missed it before, here's the City of Heavenly Fire playlist she shared last week.
"I’m Sorry I Love You" by the Magnetic FieldsA single rose in your garden dwells
Like any rose it’s not itself
It is my love in your garden grows
but let’s pretend it’s just a rose
Well I’m sorry that I love you
It’s a phase that I’m going through
There is nothing that I can do
and I’m sorry that I love you
Do not listen to my song
Don’t remember it, don’t sing alongLet’s pretend it’s a work of art
Let’s pretend it’s not my heart.
The rose will fade when summer’s gone
The song will fade and I’ll be gone
because my heart is dying too
and it’s all the same to you.Ryan Star “Losing your Memory”Call all your friendsAnd tell them you’re never coming backCause this is the endPretend that you want itDon’t react The damage is doneThe police are coming too slow nowI would have diedI would have loved you all my life.Airborne Toxic Event, “Timeless”Just help me through this moment
After everything I told you
How the weight of their loss is like the weight of the sun.
I see their faces near me,
I hear their voices calling,
It was like their lives were over before they begun."Us Ones In Between" by Sunset RubdownAnd I’ve heard of pious menAnd I’ve heard of dirty fiendsBut you don’t often hearOf us ones in between…And in the darkness I taught myself to hate.But where were you, oh where were you?And where the f*** did the sun go?Ingrid Michaelson, “Breakable”Have you ever thought about what protects our hearts?
Just a cage of rib bones and other various parts.
So it’s fairly simple to cut right through the mess,
And to stop the muscle that makes us confess.
And we are so fragile,
And our cracking bones make noise,
And we are just,
Breakable, breakable, breakable girls and boys."Epic Last Song" by Does It Offend You, YeahI called today but missed you againToday’s the day I go up in flamesI sent the money to you, my dearToday’s the day I burn awayI say baby, babe I’ve loved you a long time"Samson" by Regina SpektorYou are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first, I loved you first
Beneath the stars came fallin’ on our heads
But they’re just old light, they’re just old light"Control" by GarbageThe world might end,
The night might fall.
Rain on down and cover us all,
And drown us with the burdens of our sins.
Maybe I’ll look you in the eye,
Tell you, you don’t wanna die.
Maybe I’ll hold my breath and jump right in."Orange Sky" Alexei MurdochAnd I had a dream
I stood beneath an orange sky
With my sister standing by
I said, “Sister, here is what I know now
In your love, my salvation lies.”"Your Ex-Lover is Dead" by StarsThis scar is a fleck on my porcelain skin
Tried to reach deep but you couldn’t get in
Now you’re outside me
You see all the beauty
Repent all your sin"Daughter" by YouthAnd if you’re in love, then you are the lucky one,
'Cause most of us are bitter over someone.
Setting fire to our insides for fun,
To distract our hearts from ever missing them.
But I’m forever missing him."Upward Over the Mountain" by Iron and WineMother remember being so stern with that girl who was with me
Mother remember the blink of an eye when I breathed through your bodySo may the sunrise bring hope where it once was forgotten
Sons are like birds flying upwards over the mountain
Mother I made it up from the bruise on the floor of this prison
Mother I lost it all in the fear of the Lord I was given
Mother forget me now that the creek drank the cradle you sang toSo may the sunrise bring hope where it once was forgotten
Sons can be birds taken broken up to the mountain.Greg Laswell, “Goodbye”Then lonely lay the day
I can’t remember you at all
And it’s not easy to say that day
Has already come and gone
And all that remains is a place
Where you no longer are
One day I won’t regret this
Oh how I want to believe that’s true
Once I pick up the parts I broke on you
I’ll get used to the idea
It’s not you."Sorrow," The NationalSorrow is my body on the waves
Sorrow is a girl inside my cage
I live in a city sorrow built
It’s in my honey, it’s in my milk.
It’s only half my heart alone,
On the water,
Cover me in rags and bones, sympathy.
'Cause I don't wanna get over you.
I don’t wanna get over you.Bright Eyes, “A Perfect Sonnet”We’re singing, I believe that lovers should be chained together
And thrown into a fire with their songs and letters
And left there to burn
Left there to burn in their arrogance
But as for me I’m coming to my final failure
I’ve killed myself with changes trying to make things better
But I ended up becoming something other than what I had planned to be
Now I believe that lovers should be draped in flowers
And laid entwined together on a bed of clover
And left there to sleep.
Left there to dream of their happiness.Nick Cave “The Ship Song”We talk about it all night long
We define our moral ground
But when I crawl into your arms
Everything, it comes tumbling down
Come sail your ships around me
And burn your bridges down
We make a little history, baby
Every time you come around
Your face has fallen sad now
For you know the time is nigh
When I must remove your wings
And you, you must try to fly.
