let me just ramble a bit to an almost empty timeline

i used to have this habit of playing a song on a loop whenever I'd read a book. one specific song for each of the books I'd read.

it was only background stuff and i would never pay much attention to the song as i got grabed bythe narrative from the book but it made my mind connect the book and the song very closely.

so now whenever I listen to those songs, I'm transported in time to the book and the feelings I got while reading each book for the first time.

It's honestly incredible.

It doesn't matter if it has been yearsss since I read the book, the flashback is very real.

I don't know why i don't do it anymore, maybe I'll start again... It's very fun, connecting two different mediums through the power of the subconscious

To exemplify, this song here will always be attached to the first Percy Jackson series. https://open.spotify.com/track/1Rr17slUHwVRkDz4A2TUcM?si=sT-QZqBoSGq8_6y6skYVRQ

What the Water Gave Me by Florence + the Machine WILL ALWAYS be the soundtrack to Neil Gaiman's Sandman. Listening to it is incredibly powerful to me. https://open.spotify.com/track/10H6mvk1cPPTzs3IHsHSHi?si=6zkVCZRXS6GkAlzjl39XHQ

I just pressed play and..... oh wow.... the feels

I hope this thread is coherent lmao
