What better way is there to kick off my new random book than with some music spam?

Rhetorical question. There is none.

Brainchild of jcdwriter, this tag consists of listing ~ 20 songs you own/listen to, and explaining why.

Welcome to my weird world of music habits.

In no particular order.

1. I first listened to this in the midst of an absolutely debilitating bout of flu in May 2018. I had just posted a chapter of The War two days before and all the enthusiastic comments were brightening my headache-overshadowed day. Mordred was sick, too, and I felt a funny kinship with him because we were both feverish and miserable. And the song was pretty and relaxing, and actually took my mind off the headache for a while.

All those things come back to me whenever I hear this song.

And no. It's not a song with words. But it counts because I wrote all that out and I'm not going to just delete it (I did enough of that with SAS last week)

2. Les Mis. Do I really have to say anything else? (I like to listen to the movie version too, but the accompaniment in this one soothes my brain when I feel a primal urge for metallic vibes)

3. Gwyn/CelticWarriorQueen17 had this as a chapter header and I listened and fell in love and there was no turning back. No, I haven't read/watched THG.

4. If Sorrow and Song had a theme song...

5. I listen to this song for the section in the middle that goes "Eyes that fire and sword have seen, and horror in the halls of stone" because it makes me think of Berethar and my heart shatters into a million pieces every time. That is practically the only reason by this point.

6. There is nothing I do not love about this song.

SO LONG YOU WAGES OF SIN! I SAID GO ON, DON'T YOU COME BACK AGAIN

7. Ellowyne 's raven babyyyyy (i.e. pyromaniac wizard with some relationship issues but we don't talk about that)

8. I asked Night what songs made her think of The Journey and she gave me this one and it's so soothing and pretty

9. When Gwyn says you have to listen to a song, you listen to it and proceed to listen to it seventeen times daily for the next week. I love hearing people sing in other languages

10. AILEAN MAH GIRL

11. It's only the heartbreaking song from my favorite book of 2019 put to music by one of my best friends.

12. Excuse me while my emotions get whiplash

https://youtu.be/1wNnbMCrtZg

13. Do not take my Frozen 2 soundtrack from me

https://youtu.be/qiGcfay5jNY

14. I never got the hype over this song, but this particular cover did things to me

https://youtu.be/MSoHSdL8n1o

15. I had to actually look for this one in a video by itself because I heard it in a single-video compilation of music for a friend's fanfiction XD

I always think of Captain Rhodes (my poor baby) with this song

https://youtu.be/l9Y7U4Igiek

16. The harmony in this just pushes all my happy buttons. Like, all of them. *submerses self in a cappella*

https://youtu.be/3hMdoGet2A8

17. I'm still not super into Frozen but this song from the musical makes me like Elsa more than I ever did.

https://youtu.be/ql0891FVUYU

18. Obviously if I share something from Peter Hollens and something from Evynne Hollens, I have to share something from both of them. A.k.a. my Mordred and Lethira love song mwahaha

https://youtu.be/HDJNv_T6u4U

19. Sorrow and Song theme part 2

https://youtu.be/fvMeXz_7DiI

20. I'm drawing a blank so have some more Les Mis. Movie this time. Ugh I need to watch again. Screw life and all its obligations...
