For You Original Composition by Rebecca Castillo
Inspired by the novel Salt and Stone by Victoria Scott
Fire and Flood
Salt and Stone
Heaven and Hell
For you
I’d do it again
If it meant
One more day
With you
The jungle the sand,
The ocean and mountain
These things they made me do
The horrors, the pain
surviving the terrain
But can I really save you?
Heat and blood
betrayal and death
secrets I’ll keep
from you
Will I see you again?
When it’s the end?
It’s another day
Without you
The jungle the sand,
The ocean and mountain
These things they made me do
The horrors, the pain
surviving the terrain
But can I really save you?
What if it’s not enough?
What if I can’t save you?
Here I am, standing at the end….
Smoke and tide
Drowning and dying
Heaven and Hell
For you
Would I do it again?
If it meant
One more day
With you
The jungle the sand,
The ocean and mountain
These things they made me do
The horrors, the pain
surviving the terrain
But can I really save you?
I need to save you

Through the Reflection Pond Original Composition by Rebecca Castillo
Inspired by the novel Reflection Pond by Kacey Vanderkarr
I fell through the reflection pond
It brought me closer to you
I fell through the reflection pond
It gave me a family to love
Darkness surrounds you, every where you go
Let me light the lonely path you’re on
I will guide you, if you want me to
Your soul is so black, let me bring you back
I fell through the image of you
Feathered warrior, wings dark as night
I fell through the darkness of you
Tell me, do you feel my light?
Darkness surrounds you, every where you go
Let me light the lonely path you’re on
I will guide you, if you want me to
Your soul is so black, let me bring you back
I fell through the reflection pond
It brought me closer to you
Reflection Pond, with it’s secrets
Only you are true to me
Reflection Pond, with its darkness
Don’t you really see?
That the light inside of you grows brighter each and every day?
I fell through the reflection pond
It brought me closer to you
I fell through the darkness of you
My true warrior, gentle as a dove
Darkness surrounds you, every where you go
Let me light the lonely path you’re on
I will guide you, if you want me to
Your soul is so black, let me bring you back
I fell through the reflection pond
It brought me closer to you
I fell through the beauty of you
It brought me closer to you
If you can handle my awful guitar playing and terrible recording listen to it here! 🙂
Better recordings to come!
Book Summary (Goodreads):
Callie knows a lot more about pain than she does about family. She’s never belonged, at least, not until she falls through a portal into her true home. The beautiful faerie city of Eirensae doesn’t come free. Callie must find her amulet and bind herself to the city, and most importantly, avoid the Fallen fae who seek her life. Seems like a small price to pay for the family she’s always wanted.
Then she meets cynical and gorgeous Rowan, who reads the darkness of her past in her eyes. He becomes Callie’s part-time protector and full-time pain in the ass. He has secrets of his own for Callie to unravel. What they don’t know is that the future of Eirensae lies with them, and the once peaceful city is about to become a battleground for power.

Original Composition by Rebecca Castillo
Inspired by the novel The Body Electric by Beth Revis
Dreams to dreams
My gift to you
Of all that you love
To feel again
It’s all I knew
Until there was you
A love so pure
And true
Stolen Memories
Stolen Memories
They took my dreams
Of all I had of you
Stolen Memories of you
Dreams to dreams
Are not what they seem
You showed me there’s more
To feel again
Across the universe
We’ll recover what’s ours
Forgotten dreams
Of you and me
Stolen Memories
Stolen Memories
They took my dreams
Of all I had of you
Stolen Memories of you
Shades of the Earth
Keep us fighting on
I’ll remember you
No matter the cost
A million suns
Won’t keep me from you
Stolen Memories
My heart remembers you
Stolen Memories
Stolen Memories
They took my dreams
Of all I had of you
Stolen Memories of you
Dreams to dreams
Your gift to me
All of your love
I feel again
My heart knew
It was always you
A love so pure
And true
Stolen Memories
Stolen Memories
They took my dreams
Of all I had of you
Stolen Memories of you

Book Synopsis (Goodreads):
The future world is at peace.
Ella Shepherd has dedicated her life to using her unique gift—the ability to enter people’s dreams and memories using technology developed by her mother—to help others relive their happy memories.
But not all is at it seems.
Ella starts seeing impossible things—images of her dead father, warnings of who she cannot trust. Her government recruits her to spy on a rebel group, using her ability to experience—and influence—the memories of traitors. But the leader of the rebels claims they used to be in love—even though Ella’s never met him before in her life. Which can only mean one thing…
Someone’s altered her memory.
Ella’s gift is enough to overthrow a corrupt government or crush a growing rebel group. She is the key to stopping a war she didn’t even know was happening. But if someone else has been inside Ella’s head, she cannot trust her own memories, thoughts, or feelings.
So who can she trust?
