Nicola Yoon: Everything Everything Soundtrack

Love, chance, adventure, happiness, danger and more; Everything Everything by Nicola Yoon is filled with emotions and themes that would make an amazing playlist. And so to bring back the feelings of Maddy and Olly’s story, we asked author Nicola Yoon to pick the songs that would make it onto her Everything Everything soundtrack. Read on to find out which songs she chose, and let us know which ones you would pick in the comments box below.

"I'm a total lyrics person and I definitely hear the words more than I hear the music. For the playlist, there's something about the lyrics in each song that reminds me of the story or of a character. For example, ‘4 Minute Warning’ by Radiohead really spoke to me about Maddy's feeling of running out of time. In ‘If I Had a Gun’ by Noel Gallagher he says ‘I’m holding on and waiting for the moment for my heart to be unbroken by the sea.’ I love how epic and mysterious that lyric is. For me, it really defines how Olly feels about Maddy." - Nicola Yoon
