I've posted about soundtracks before. I've even posted a soundtrack for Lodestar. (Or When the Star Fell. We're still in title flux over here.)
Looking back over that soundtrack, and thinking about the soundtrack as it stands now, I've realized something. These soundtracks aren't so much what you'd hear if the books were turned into movies. These are tracks that when I hear them I think of one of my books or of a character.
So here's the updated soundtrack for my contemporary fantasy, Lodestar.
"In Her Eyes" by Josh Groban (pretty much how the MC thinks of his predicament and of how one character views him)
"Untouchable" by Taylor Swift (whenever I hear this song, there's one scene in my book that comes to life in my head as I sing the song, so vividly I sometimes want to cry)
"This Time" from the August Rush soundtrack (the first lines evoke one of the scenes at the end of the novel for me, the chorus evokes some of the internal conflict for the MC)
"You Raise Me Up" by Josh Groban (basically how the MC feels about being thrust into this world he had no idea existed) *slight pause in soundtrack building to get lost in Josh Groban's voice*
"So Close" from the Enchanted soundtrack (pretty much every interaction between the MC and his primary love interest as there's a physical reason they can't touch, not even to hold hands)
"To Where You Are" by Josh Groban (evokes really the way the MC feels about the primary love interest, and a little bit of the emotion toward the end of the book) *pausing again for that gorgeous voice*
"Open Your Eyes (to Love)" from the Lizzie McGuire Movie soundtrack (there's a scene between the primary love interest and another character that is basically this and I think about this scene when hearing this song)

Soundtrack
As I write, I listen to music. Every once in a while, a song will pop up that just suits the book or a character to a tee. I thought today I'd share the soundtrack that fits for Oracles Promise. We'll see how this goes.
I can't find them all in the playlist creator.
The playlist is in the sidebar. I think.
Here are the songs for the full list, including what I couldn't find on the site.
Bigger than My Body by John Mayer
You Found Me by Kelly Clarkson
Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of by U2
The Best Thing by Savage Garden
Elgar/Something Inside from the August Rush soundtrack
Then for my climax, a medley of Mozart:
Eine Kleine Nachtmusik: Allegro
Symphony No. 40 Allegro
Piano Concerto no. 21: Andante
Symphony No. 40 "Jupiter": Moldo Allegro
Clarinet Concerto in A: Adagio
And for scenes with a certain character:
Violin Concerto no. 3 Adagio
And for a mysterious character:
Around the Corner of Your Eye by M2M
