“Tell Her This” by Del Amitri
Such a beautiful, sad (and yet hopeful) song. I listened to this one a lot while I was writing this book, and it always put me in the right mood.

“SexyBack” by Justin Timberlake
Okay, I know this song wasn’t remotely out while I was writing this book, but When He Was Wicked is unquestionably my sexiest book, and even though I kind of don’t get the whole Justin Timberlake thing, I LOVE this song.

“Cut Me Down” by Lloyd Cole and the Commotions
Such an underappreciated band. This song feels like Michael to me.
-
“Don’t Tell Me” by Madonna
And this song feels like Francesca, especially: “Tell me love isn’t true. It’s just something that we do.”
