Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. Each week there is a new topic and this week’s topic is: 10 songs I wish that were books
1) When the Day Met the Night by Panic at the Disco (this was during their non-! phase) – This would kind of be like a fairytale retelling. That same kind of tone/atmosphere at least.
2) Transylvania by McFly – Gothic castles and stormy nights. HEA not guaranteed.
3) Immortals by Fall Out Boy – I picture something The Reckoners-esque. Underdog superheroes.
4) Everybody’s Got Somebody But Me by Hunter Hayes (feat. Jason Mraz) – Fun contemporary romance.
5) Knights of Cydonia by Muse – Sci-Fi/Spacey. It would be good, just trust me.
6) Annie Use Your Telescope by Jack’s Mannequin – Maybe a story about a girl who’s lost her father but learns how to deal with her grief…or something like that.
7) Forever and Always by Parachute – Okay this song is basically a book already and it makes me cry every time. Nicholas Sparks is probably going to write this one eventually.
8) Lay Me Down by Dirty Heads – Bonnie and Clyde but modern.
9) Speak Now by Taylor Swift – I’ve always thought it was a shame that she never made an official music video for this one–it seems like it would really lend itself to that format. But oh well, let’s have a book of it.
10) Two Princes by Spin Doctors – This is a love triangle I can get behind.
Oh yes, that Taylor Swift song would make an awesome book, I think! Great choices! 🙂

Some great choices here! A massive YES to Transylvania 🙂 Forever and Always is so emotional though I don’t know if I could handle it in book form 😛

Haha so true. I would probably literally be sobbing the whole time. And maybe we can get Tom and Dougie from McFly to write Transylvania the book instead of another “Dinosaur that Pooped…” book!

I love the idea of a Panic-inspired fairy tale (I also think “When the Day Met the Night” would make a cute picture book)! Great list (and great taste in music!)!

I didn’t even think about it as a picture book, but I think you’re so right! And thanks 🙂

I love the idea of Knights of Cydonia, that would be an epic sci-fi book.

YES. It would probably be like a ten-book epic series. And Matt Bellamy would probably write it.

I’m not usually into Sci Fi or Fantasy books, but if Transylvania by McFly was a book, I’d read it! 🙂 Great Top Ten!

Ooh, since you mentioned, I realise that there was never an official music video for Speak Now. I’ve always thought I’ve seen her in a dress singing, but maybe that was just from her concert.
Love these choices though, especially Immortals. 🙂

I think I know what you’re talking about, and I think that was from a concert. There totally should have been a video though!

I love your picks! Pretty Odd was such a weird album, I’d be interested to see any of those songs turned into books. I love McFly and you’re the first person I’ve seen include them so that makes me happy. I haven’t read The Reckoners yet, but your pairing with Immortals makes me want to read it even more! I have a Parachute song on my list too but I went with a different one because I can’t deal with major character death in books.
Here’s my TTT.

You know, I used to hate Fall Out Boy in high school. Then I heard Immortals in Big Hero Six and My Songs Know What you Did in the Dark in The Originals and loved them. Immortals should definitely be an underdog hero story.

I can totally see what you mean by the vibe Panic brought with When the Day Met the Night. It’ll definitely make an amazing book, if done well! 🙂
