Everything I write is accompanied by music. As far as I’m concerned, music is one of life’s main pleasures and should be enjoyed whenever possible, for whatever reason you want. For me, music is governed by mood and vice versa, which is why I want to share this soundtrack; it gives things an extra dimension. Of course, I can’t just give you this music, copyright for better or worse is a thing and we all have to deal with it. But you can go and find it for yourself. For this book, I’ve included YouTube and Bandcamp links for most stuff, if you don’t have the recordings yourself, but I can give no guarantee that they will function, so be prepared to go and search for this stuff yourself; I have no idea about Spotify or Pandora or any of that silliness, I won’t subscribe to music (which is why you should make a backup of your kindle books too!). And of course, you should go out and buy anything that you like the sound of.
This is organised by book section, with a descriptive title for each piece of music that should be relatively easy to relate to story moments.
