Back when my debut novel, Burning Embers, was newly released, I found on the internet a song with the same title, and was quite taken but it (see my post ‘Burning Embers – the song’).

A similar web search recently uncovered three songs whose titles tie into The Echoes of Love, my new book.

First, there is ‘Echo of Love’ by the British band The Shutes. I love the opening lines:

It started with explosions, the sound of bombs in your heart
But just like everything, just like everything the sounds would fade and fall apart

I imagine my heroine Venetia listening to this song when she thinks of her lost love, Judd.

An entirely different sound, but really quite restful and romantic, is to be heard in Omar Akram’s instrumental ‘Echo of Love’:

And finally, back to the 1970s with the Doobie Brothers and their song ‘The Echoes of Love’. The music doesn’t quite say ‘romance’ to me, but I do like the lyrics:

Echoes of love
Keeps on haunting 

And:

I hear your voice everywhere
It’s echoes of love
Making me look back over my shoulder
