Tune Tuesday: “Not Alone” by RED (w/ bonus ‘Clockwork Prince’ teaser)

Every Tuesday here at The Mortal Instruments Source is Tune Tuesday where we share a song that relates to The Mortal Instruments or The Infernal Devices. This week's song is "Not Alone" by RED and I think it's the perfect song to describe Will and Jem's relationship. Both boys are damaged--Will emotionally and Jem physically. They are what the other needs to keep on living. The two parabatai are extremely close in Clockwork Angel. Their relationship goes through a lot in Clockwork Prince and we see just how close they are–and just how far they would go for the other’s happiness even if it means the other’s unhappiness. Here is a Will and Jem teaser from Clockwork Prince; Tessa, Will and Jem discussing parabatai:

"It is like being married, isn't it," said Tessa placidly, "in the Catholic church. Like Henry the Eighth, he had to create a new religion just so he could escape from his vows."

"Till death do us part," said Will, his gaze still fixed on the countryside speeding past outside the window.

"Well, Will won't need to create a new religion just to be rid of me," said Jem. "He'll be free soon enough."

Slowly fading away
You’re lost and so afraid
Where is the hope in a world so cold
Looking for a distant light
Someone who could save a life
You’re living in fear that no one will hear your cries
Can you save me now

I am with you
I will carry you through it all
I won’t leave you I will catch you
When you feel like letting go
Cause your not, your not alone

Your heart is full of broken dreams
Just a fading memory
And everything’s gone but the pain carries on
Lost in the rain again
When will it ever end
The arms of relief seem so out of reach
But I, I am here

I am with you
I will carry you through it all
I won’t leave you I will catch you
When you feel like letting go
Cause your not, your not alone

And I’ll be your hope when you feel like its over
And I will pick you up when your whole world shatters
And when you’re finally in my arms
Look up and see love has a face

I am with you
I will carry you through it all
I won’t leave you I will catch you
When you feel like letting go
Cause you’re not, you’re not alone

And I will be your hope
And I will pick you up
And I will be your hope
And I will be your hope

Slow fading away
Your lost and so afraid
Where is the hope in a world so cold
