A soundtrack for ‘The Singles’ I listened to a lot of music while I was writing The Singles. Some songs influenced the book more than others. Here’s a short list of songs that I played frequently during the writing and editing process (according to my iTunes). I think they actually make a nice soundtrack to the book. There’s a lot of Liz Phair, of course. She’s in the character in The Singles. Sort of. Enjoy. - Meredith Cold War Kids, “Audience” Joe Jackson, “Happy Loving Couples” Imogen Heap, “Wait It Out” S. Carey, “In the Dirt” Liz Phair, “Never Said” Bombay Bicycle Club, “Shuffle” Ingrid Michaelson, “The Chain” Bob Dylan, “Love Sick” Ray LaMontagne, “I Still Care For You” Justin Timberlake, “Love Don’t Love Me” ...

Q: Hi Meredith, I have recently found myself in the awful, awkward, uncomfortable position of learning that my friend's boyfriend is cheating on her. If that situation on its own isn't complicated enough, it gets worse. To start, my friendship with her began because she is my boyfriend's friend's girlfriend. We used to hang out together all the time: double date dinners, drinks, and even weekend trips together. Through that I became good friends with her, but the reason we got to know each other in the first place is through our boyfriends. About a month ago, my boyfriend and I heard about the cheating. We confronted the cheater and he insisted he had ended things and realized how wrong his actions had been, is ... Continue reading →

Q: Hi Meredith, For 8 months I dated a man in the military. Due to his job, he was away more often than not, but every time he came back, I was the one he wanted to be with. I fell hard for him. He was so considerate and always could leave me smiling. I thought I had finally found the one. The problem was: He never committed to me. He never called me his girlfriend or said those three little words. Yet he always told me how awesome I was and how he cared about me. When he went away on tour for 2 months, we constantly emailed and he called any chance he could get. So I stayed. I thought we had a ... Continue reading →

There was not a decent version of this song on you tube so I figured I'd post one. The video is lame, but the song is awesome! From the album white crosses. Lyrics:This is the only voice I know.These are the only words I have.This is the only way I know how to say, we're not in love anymore.It's the same way that it's always been,The dynamic to the relationship never changes.It's the same way that it's always been,The dynamic to the relationship never changes.We used to like all the same bands.We used to have all the same friends.What do we have left in common?Just shared memories of good times long since past.It's the same way that it's always been,The dynamic to the relationship never ...
