Tune Tuesday: ‘Letters from the Sky’ by Civil Twilight

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 Tune Tuesday was inspired by the upcoming relationship between Jace and Clary in City of Lost Souls.

“Letters from the Sky” by Civil Twilight

That you and I were made for this I was made to taste your kiss We were made to never fall away Never fall away One of these days letters are gonna fall From the sky telling us all to go free But until that day I'll find a way To let everybody know that you're coming back You're coming back for me

“Simon?” It was Clary. She sounded breathless. “Where are you?”

“Home,” he said, and paused. “My mother’s house,” he amended. His voice sounded hollow and distant to his own ears. “Why aren’t you back at the Institute? Is everyone all right?”

“That’s just it,” she said. “Just after you left, Maryse came back down from the roof where Jace was supposed to be waiting. There was no one there.”

Simon moved. Without quite realizing he was doing it, like a mechanical doll, he began walking up the street, toward the subway station. “What do you mean, there was no one there?”

“Jace was gone,” she said, and he could hear the strain in her voice. “And so was Sebastian.”

Simon stopped in the shadow of a bare-branched tree. “But he was dead. He’s dead, Clary—”

“Then you tell me why he isn’t there, because he isn’t,” she said, her voice finally breaking. “There’s nothing up there but a lot of blood and broken glass. They’re both gone, Simon. Jace is gone. . . .”
