#Music2WriteBy 31005: /Rivers/ by Thomas Jack
Today I initiate my #music thread with the above song. Recently, I recovered my Apple Music "On the Go" playlist when it didn't transfer to the new phone. It devastated me that I thought I'd lost all those songs. Why? /They map my recent writing career./ Some inspired scenes, as does today's selection, while others have inspired entire stories—and I remember each when I hear the song. Many define the vibe of the story; others simply get me in the writing mood. Whilst I am heavily into Trance, Progressive, and House, lots of my music is pop or eclectic. I have a few oldies mixed in, including anime with a sprinkling of musical rap.
I plan to share where each song fits into my writing and I'll begin below. Consider following the hashtag.
/Rivers/, the blue-cover single, is romantically evocative. For me, it speaks to the transience of love and human relationships. It appears in my DJ stories in the final scene of a novella where it play in the background. Having won praise and secret recognition for not-so-secretly helping save the life of thousands of her fans, the DJ MC is feeling strong. Strong enough to corner her high school crush (who's prominent in the story). He's in her audience and she parts the dancing fans like the red sea, sashaying up while singing, to dance with him. The scene is sweet and ends with them kissing as they dance, with the certainty that they'll hook up after the curtain falls.
I'm providing a YouTube link, but I'm not sure that's necessary. It seems that practically everyone has some streaming service they use and will probably use that. If you think the YouTube link should be included, please reply to say so.
