The Shape of Us by Ian Britt: This song spoke to me strongly when I was writing Past Heaven. Liz and Reynolds had suffered and traveled a bumpy road, but they came together, finding their own “shape” and their own space in the world. By holding onto one another and letting go of their fears, they found a home with each other.
I Lived, by One Republic: I think Jack reminds us all to live our lives. Fight for a cause. Follow our dreams. Not to waste one second.
All of Me by John Legend: Liz and Reynolds gave all of themselves to the other. The good and the bad, the pain and the joy. When they were able to do that, they found the acceptance they both needed.

Beam Me Up by Pink: This song talks about the pain of losing a loved one and wanting to be with them again. Liz wanted a sign from Jack, wanted to know he was still there, with her. In time, she found that peace inside herself with the knowledge that she would never be alone. He was alive in her heart and in her boys.
Bruises by Train, featuring Ashley Munroe: This song inspired a conversation between Reynolds and Liz where they discuss being marked or branded by their pain. Everyone is “bruised” or marked by pain in life. These events, if embraced and learned from, can make us better and stronger people.
Superheroes by The Script: Finding your inner strength and never giving up, makes you a superhero. I think we are all stronger than we think we are.
Love Don’t Die by The Fray: No matter what, real love never leaves you.
Make You Feel My Love, by Adele: Reynolds always wants to hold Liz, to embrace her, to show her his love and affection. He’ll wait for her to be ready, but he will make her feel loved.
