Songs for ITALAIT

(Goes with: General theme)

Hi everyone. This is a very special song for ITALAIT. It’s written by the talented Taylah, who you all might know as @radio-dreams​, the artist who writes original songs for Clexa and the 100. She is also a reader of ITALAIT and was kind enough to let me know that ITALAIT inspired her to write this song. I have her permission to share with you all, so hopefully you will enjoy it as much as I did. It’s brilliant; she’s brilliant; go listen to all of her stuff. Thanks!

Love From, Me by Taylah (@radio-dreams)

So we go down this road but it’s too long. There’s no street lights and my headlights won’t turn on. We’re driving blind, we’re driving blind, And if we crash, I can’t call you this time.

I feel the already changing winds, Carrying, carrying the whispers of our sins. There’s no stop signs in your eyes, Just painted green lights, waiting for another surprise.

Oohhh

I forget, sometimes it’s not enough, To love someone and to fall into their touch. There’s no tears in this goodbye, But there’s tears in the words that I write.

For you, I write. For you, I write. Love from, me. (x6)

And it’s the last words I’ll send to you. And it’s everything I wish I could have told you. I carve your name into these sheets, To remind the lovers that I keep.

Here is the master list for all the songs of ITALAIT I have posted. Some are ones I added, but most are from your recommendations. I will just list them in the order I post them and will update this as I add songs. One of these days, maybe after the story is over, I’ll organize it by chapter. 

I tagged this “master list” and all of the songs can be found under the tag “songs for ITALAIT.” I might find an easier way to do this if I ever figure out tumblr. 

Thanks for all the recs. Feel free to keep them coming as the story progress or if you encounter new songs you feel will fit. There are still a lot in my inbox that I will be going through. Keep an eye out for your rec if I haven’t gotten to it yet.

It Takes As Long As It Takes ch.19 by OForion4

    Just before she turned to leave, to walk away in the falling snow, she took one last look at Clarke, content with seeing only her back, and whispered those words she had promised to say so long ago.

“I am proud of you, Clarke.”
