Alright, so this might be considered a bit of an odd blog post. But music has always been a big influence on my books. Especially for The Fifth Place. So as I was/am writing them, I’m at the same time making accompanying playlists (that occasionally get added to even years later). These are where inspiration meets officially unofficial soundtrack. I often listen to them when writing or just thinking about the books, and visualising it all playing out cinematically.
I don’t know if anyone will be interested in the music behind/alongside all this, but figure I’d share them anyway, especially if you’re the type to enjoy discovering music.
Spotify won’t let me set a song order for everyone to see (probably for the best, as that would drive me crazy trying to get it “right”) so best put it on shuffle.
Also, I recommend not listening to The Fifth Place playlists before you have read the book, as there could be considered to be mild spoilers in the lyrics and song titles.
Here’s the links:
The Fifth Place
India Bones (much less cultivated; basically just a load of pirate music)
And, because I’m mad for playlists (these only being a fraction of all the ones I’ve made) if you want to explore some other themed playlists of mine…
