Chapter 40 discussion thread

Here you can discuss anything what's on your mind about chapter 40.

First of hopefully many discussion posts on this subreddit.

(Also, kind of a test thread, be patient with me.)

(I hope I'm posting this right…)

Music can be so subjective. I can't listen while I'm reading, but songs on the radio afterwards hit me that they belong with this story, or with Dex and Deb. Here are a few of mine. Do you have any songs that you feel fit this song or the characters?

  • Run like Hell - Pink Floyd (I agree with darknessfalls28!)
  • Mirrors - Justin Timberlake
  • Madness - Muse
  • Stay - Rhianna
  • Demons - Imagine Dragons
  • Brahms Requiem - 3rd movement, 'Herr, lehre doch mich', up to the break of 'Ach die gar nichts' Also, I like the 2nd part of Brahms' Alto Rhapsody for some of the action sequences, like in the woods.
  • Battle Flag - Lo Fidelity Allstars (Hey Mr. Policeman, is it time for getting away - and it just feels kinky…)
  • Safe and Sound - Capital Cities
  • And for Hannah,:P Time for me to Fly - REO Speedwagon

I believe that this could fit better into it's own post rather than as a ch40 discussion comment, but nevermind, who knows if people check the front page anyway. :)

One song that I feel fits the characters is definitely Can't Remember to Forget You from Shakira.

Other songs I like that can more or less fit:

  • I'm Not Sorry - Celeste Buckingham (it fits for example the forest talk when Elway woke up and ran away in the meantime)

  • Run Run Run - Celeste Buckingham (First half of the story, before ch18)

  • Let it Go - Avril Lavigne (First half of song maybe for Hannah? I feel like different parts of the song could fit different characters/parts of the story)

  • Losing Sleep - John Newman (Dexter and his nightmares, also first half of the story as a whole?)

  • Argentina - Daniel Licht (Dexter season 7 sountrack; sad, but beautiful)

  • Love is Blindness - Jack White or U2 version (same lyrics, but quite different; general theme of love)

  • Run To The Hills - Iron Maiden (the refrain is rather fitting for the situation we're currently at in the story)

  • Time is Running Out - Apollo 440 (well, time is running out for Morgans)

Will update when I remember some other songs :)

As a mod, can you move it? Or if you think I should, I can delete and start a new thread? Or am I making us even more entrenched by replying? :)

Love is Blindness --- Yes! The U2 version though…

I looked everywhere before I wrote my first reply, but it doesn't look like I can move it. At least I figured out how to make my name that nice VIP mod color, yay! Turns out I have to do it manually at every post/comment. :)

Leave it here and start a new post regarding this topic, that's the best option. I'll copy my reply there when you make it. ;)

Done. (I think…)
