Thanks! Using snippets of other people's lyrics walks a fine line, you want to repurpose and recontextualize them for foreshadowing, easter eggs, or as a (sometimes subtle) clue to what one or more characters are thinking or feeling at the time, all while having little or nothing to do with the lyricist's original intent and using music good enough to listen to over and over in a playlist. I'm happy with how I was able to pull it off.

There are few covers in the playlist, but I credit the lyricist rather than the cover artist at the end of each chapter where I use a song.
