Music that inspired my story and is featured in it.

The title says it all. I don't own any of the music. I really do wish people would utilize the internet to promote the bands more than to just download their music for free. I admit, I used to do it a lot back in the day when I was just a young teenager without a job. Not only did I do it because I was short on cash, but I was listening to foreign music because I didn't like what was on American radio anymore and it was incredibly hard finding the bands I liked on internet stores and I never could find them in the import sections of record stores. Almost every website I went to didn't carry it (websites that were supposed to carry that country's music even) and then when I would happen on to it they would rack the price up because it was an import ($34 one time and it was just one CD, not including the $10 shipping fee!).

So there is no copyright infringment intended and I am just trying to introduce people to the music I love so that the bands can be supported. I suggest buying their albums, you won't be disappointed. The music featured had a great role in the making of Love, The Hardest Way, and luckily most of them are easy to find on internet music stores and such. There are well known names such as Billy Idol and Duran Duran and then some that aren't so well known like Shawn Colvin and Ellie Goulding, who is a new UK artist. You may recognize the songs from the story, I even named a few chapters after the songs listed. This is the full list and ones I couldn't find on playlist.com are featured here from YouTube. Here is every song that inspired every chapter and was featured in the whole story (I finished the last chapter yesterday). I even added a Hanoi Rocks song that I hadn't listened to while writing because Hanoi Rocks is mentioned so much in the story, not only being a band that we know Ville likes very, very much, but also is one of Yoshimori's favorite bands.

I hope you all enjoy it. :D

Here is the address to the playlist, just copy and past it into your web address bar (I guess it's called browser? lol XD)
