Length: 1 hr and 4 mins (on the shorter side for me) Introduction: I haven’t quite decided if I’m done, but seeing as the audiobook of the entire project is about 55 minutes, I guess it fits that a soundtrack is on the shorter side. It’s been a strange year. My concentration has been more…
Length: 1 hr and 6 min Introduction: I usually do all the instrumental music followed by the lyric-containing songs, but I figured I’d switch that around for 2021. It’s a relatively short list so far, but I anticipate it growing throughout the year. Wave 1: I’m Feeling Good by Cameron James – Once again, I’m…
Introduction: Things may be starting to normalize but the world had a pretty major meltdown in the switch between 2019 and 2020. Didn’t hit hard in the United States until around March. I started making playlists to capture certain book themes and events a while ago, so I figured I’d collect a few for the…

This year, I did something different with the order, I put all the instrumental songs first and then put songs with lyrics. The…
If I’ve accurately picked music for the year, it’s gonna be an amazing time filled with growth and new paths on the life journey.
I’ve recently made 3 lists, and as usual, I tried something different this time. They’re in order for ease of listening and the meaning they take on. Roughly, they’re in order of inspirational, then what would be going through one of the MC’s heads, danger, and aftermath.
Typically, I try to find key points or chapters and find something that matches that mood. This time, though, I pretty much stuck with the killer and tried to go for things he would find inspiring.

Introduction to Part II: Thanks for checking out the second half of my explanations for the songs on the 1819 Songs for Students playlist. This half starts off pretty strong with a song about not letting life knock you down. The Middle Songs … Higher The Score (Atlas) “Scraped my knees, bruised…
