Life of a Suburban Unicorn has a fluctuating play list, but right now if I had all the money in the world for a book trailer, A Different Kind of Pain by Cold would be my choice for theme music.
Each one of my characters has a theme song. My favorite being Genie in a Bottle for Dunya and Dirty Little Secret for Mom.
Rarely do I get struck by a character’s theme song before I invent the character. Today I had to make a new folder in my Favorites entitled, “Future Characters.”
This song here was the first to go in. Who could walk away from a character like that? O.O And what did she do to deserve someone praying like that?

What a great addition to a manuscript! You have set it up to be produced as a movie. The book, except perhaps an e-book would not play the song. Would you add the lyrics or simply refer to the song? It would seem unlikely that the owners of the song would expect Or be entitled to remuneration for your kindness in referring to the song. Excuse me for my tendency to look at things from this angle. I spent too many years as a legal secretary to get it out of me. I would think tbe song owners would love to see your MS turned into a movie. You may have found a way to increase your marketability. (I am on my iPhone and cannot scroll backward to look for errors. !!!! I hope I didn’t make a mess.)

Compiling a soundtrack to a novel is very common and actually advisable. Perhaps the right song could be the one you liked to listen to as you worked on your manuscript?
