Okay I need help.

I'm trying to write a scene where my MC just wakes up and she's been kidnapped and is trying to escape. I need some darker music to help the mood and I'm having trouble.

Any suggestions?

It was hard not to include both CDs in there entirety! Can't wait for the new one to come out....

3SM is great (partly because of Jared Leto, and his uber sex appeal [well, in my adolescent eyes]).

I have a new WIP, so I thought I'd share the songs:

The Promise and the Threat by Evans Blue (pretty much the theme song.)
Vienna by The Fray (another one on my other soundtrack, but they fit this story more.)
The Outsider by A Perfect Circle
Lacrymosa by Evanescence
Naive by The Kooks
Look in my Eyes by Rains
Heroes by Shinedown (my favorite by Shinedown. I'm disappointed by their new song, Second Chance).
Breakdown by Tantric
Clowns (Can You See Me Now) by T.a.T.u
Stupid Girl by Cold
Calm Water by Milla
Toxicity by System of a Down
Beware (the Water) by Deftones
District Sleeps Alone by The Postal Service
Bend by Kevin Matisyn
Rough Cut by Amber Rubarth
MakeDamnSure by Taking Back Sunday
Over Night by Aya
Ghost of You by My Chemical Romance
Hate Me by Blue October
My Apocalypse by Escape the Fate

I reused some from my other WIP.

I have a couple to add to my CFW soundtrack:

June Carter by Andy Elwell
In This Field by Andy Elwell
Nothing Better by The Postal Service.

These are all for the more depressing bits, like when my MC gets her heart broken.

Some of these songs don't really fit the plot, but they're good to listen to when writing.

*squeals* Breaking Benjamin and Red and Evanescence... You are my hero!!!

OH NOES! That last one predicts sadness. Am I going to cry?

Ahh...true. But I'm not sure happy for you means the same thing for me. My happy ending would be Whitley + Nathan, and screw the awkward legal details. But that might not be what you have in mind lol.

Oooh...I don't know that song.
