Songs from the Heart(land)
November 28th, 2009 by Nancy
I was perusing Lauren Brooke’s Heartland series the other day, and I couldn’t help but notice that a lot of her book titles are very close to or exactly the same as song titles! I wonder if it’s a coincidence… or maybe the series is a secret shout-out to her favorite playlist!
Here are some of her books:

Angst + Horses = Heartland
Book & Song Title | Artist |
Coming Home | The 88 |
After the Storm | Norman Brown |
Breaking Free | Troy (from HSM3!) |
Taking Chances | Celine Dion / Glee Cast |
Come What May | From Moulin Rouge Soundtrack |
One Day You’ll Know | Mandy Moore & Jonathon Foreman |
Out of the Darkness | Graham Nash |
Thicker than Water | Jack Johnson |
Every New Day | Five Iron Frenzy |
Tomorrow’s Promise | Ok, I couldn’t find a music match on this one. |
True Enough | Girlyman |
Sooner or Later | Michael Tolcher |
Darkest Hour | Ricky Skaggs |
Everything Changes | Staind |
Love is a Gift | Olivia Newton-John |
Holding Fast | Closest: “Keep Holding On” by Avril Lavigne |
Season of Hope | Closest: “Seasons of Love” from the Rent Soundtrack |
New Beginnings | Gerald Albright |
From This Day On | Cam |
Always There | UB40 |
What song title might you borrow for your first novel? 😉

If i were to write a new novel i would use the song title “Whataya Want from me” by Adam Lambert. I am planning on writing about children living up to parent’s expectations. If you are a child and you find yourself asking “well, whataya want from me” you can relate to my ideas.
That’s a fantastic idea, Mandi! I hope I see a book with that title in the future…
