so, i got an email from the best friend a couple weeks back now that urged me to check out a song from lissie. “it reminds me of your book, codename: amof,” i was told, so of course, i had to go and check it out.

and omigosh, peeps, i was sort of stunned, because in sleep could’ve been written about what goes on between a couple of my characters. i was also a bit disgruntled, because had i known this song was out there in the wild, i might’ve listened to it while writing a certain chapter.

anyway! for those of you out there who are my beta readers, you might recognize a certain similarity between c & j here. for those of you who are like, what the ef? get to the music scoop already, here’s the 411 on lissie – she’s got a stevie nicks-like voice and an interesting mix of blues, folk, americana and pop in her songs .

i lay awake at night and pray
not to see the light of day
i wonder how to behave right
he has left me such a mess
counting to protest
my mind can’t get no rest

fast asleep where i keep my memories
calling me out in dreams
he visits me
what will be
will i see him again soon?

why am i so terrified of waking?
he’s gone and i feel i’ve been forsaken
in sleep is the only place i get to see him, get to love him

here’s another song by lissie, called little lovin’. very cute, with a 70’s groovy southern vibe:

Lissie – Little Lovin’ by Stayloose
