hello!! Im so happy you’re back! I religiously listened to your lionheart playlist on repeat in the vain hope it would summon you back to us <3 which leads to my question —>

is there a song on the playlist that you put there because of a particular scene in Lionheart that we’ve read? (or have not read yet… hoho)

I've inadvertently revealed one of the items you can put in my summoning circle: angsty 90's alt-rock jams.

I put most of the songs on the playlist because they remind me of a particular scene! And then a few that are just for vibes. "All Along the Watchtower" was the starting riff when I wrote Narcissa's prologue to Book 4. "Media Blitz" was a soundtrack for "Read All About It," "Girls & Boys" for the Yule Ball getting-ready scenes, "The Great Gig in the Sky" for Viktor's funeral. "Policy of Truth" has been on loop while writing Book 5, because (a) it's a fucking jam, and (b) it's maybe the single most apropos song for 5 (save maybe Bowie's "Heroes," which is the epigraph) in terms of the plot and theme. And "Another Brick in the Wall" ... speaks for itself.
