Hey, Happy STS! You asked me a great question, so I’m going to ask it back: what song encapsulates your wip, and what was the line that convinced you?
Howdy and Happy STS! also thank you c; I like talking about music in relation to WIPs so I assumed everyone else would; glad you did!
I’m gonna go with ‘The Cave’ by Mumford and Sons for my most recent WIP. I’ve talked about it a fair bit here but it’s. A very good song. It sounds regretful and sombre and yet it can be super duper upbeat and almost motivating? Like, yeah, life sucks, but there’s a chance there, a small hope in an otherwise bleak place.
The line that really snapped me was ‘So make your sirens song / and sing all you want / I will not hear what you have to say’ which made me sit up and go ‘holy shit this is a WIP song’ - in this WIP, there are people born with an ability that makes their speech extremely persuasive in any language they’re fluent in. I won’t say much for fear of spoilers, but there’s a bit where two people with this ability meet, and both realise something else about what this gift/curse does c;
