Friday's Music: Always Looking - Dum Dum Girls

Another girl band for you! This is one of my favourites from this band, and I chose it with Saba and Jack’s relationship in mind.

Oh I never felt a beat in my heart ‘til you made it start

I never felt a beat in my heart ‘til you made it start

-

It’s been written in the stars

The reason of the hearts like ours

Yea I was always looking, I was always looking;

I was always looking for you

These lyrics are so painstakingly accurate when it comes to Saba’s (initial?) feelings towards Jack. I instantly got reminded of Saba’s heartstone, something which features continually in both books, and how it gets hot near her hearts true desire. I also felt it important how she threw it away in Rebel Heart, only to have Nero bring it back to her.

I hear him laugh.

His name’s Jack.

Heat burns into me. Crawls over my skin. A trickle of sweat runs down my chest. I pull out the heartstone tucked safe inside my vest.It’s warm. No. Hot.

-

As I move away from him, the hearstone starts to cool down.

Open Ended Question: How will it all end?

Welcome back Free Hawks! Not only to our site, but to this segment! It's been very long since I've done it, so I feel now would be a great time.

Today's open ended question is VERY open ended; How will it all end?!  You've read Blood Red Road, you've read Rebel Heart, and the third installment 'Raging Star' releases next year. What do you think will be the outcome of our favorite story at the end of Raging Star? Leave your comments to this post because I am very curious as to what you think! Be as absolutely crazy and original as possible. 

Also, if you have an idea for a scene in one of the books, why not write a short fanfiction story? We're currently holding our first fan fiction contest! Click here to learn more about it! The deadline is July 31st!

I can't wait to see what you guys say. Later, Free Hawks!
