Visions of You: The Soundtrack!

If you ever followed my story postings over the years, you know I always have a soundtrack for each story. So of course I have to provide the soundtrack for my first self-published baby and I'm gonna do so here.

Since Visions of You takes place in 2002 (and I initially wrote it in 2001) there's a lot of either early aughts tunes, 90s tunes or even earlier tunes on there. The only one that's out of place time-wise is the Kina Grannis one, which came much later than the early aughts, but it just had the perfect vibe for this story, so I had to add it.
Here's the link to the Spotify playlist: HERE!

And here it is listed out with some explanations. Because I always have to have those too.

Visions of You the Soundtrack

1."Dreams" by The Cranberries: The story revolves around dreams. Kinda self-explanatory.

2. "Everywhere" by Michelle Branch: The line "When I close my eyes it's you I see" is what triggered me to think up the concept of this story all those years ago.

3. "Caribbean Blue" by Enya: I imagine this song playing during her dancing dream.

4. "Heat Wave" by Martha and the Vandellas: This is specifically for the chapter called "Attraction".

5. "I've Just Seen a Face" by The Beatles: Dream Boy's thoughts on our protagonist.

6. "America" by Simon and Garfunkel: Maggie's favorite song.

7. "In Your Arms" by Kina Grannis: As stated above, it just has the right vibe for this story.

8. "Drop in the Ocean" by Michelle Branch: The song is very focused on eyes and Maggie is VERY focused on Dream Boy's eyes, so . . .

9. "How" by The Cranberries: And now we have a heart-broken Dream Boy.

10. "Scarborough Fair/Canticle" by Simon and Garfunkel: Yeah, he's still heart-broken.

11. "Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town" by Pearl Jam: Mostly for the line "I seem to recognize your face". This is the first song for the chapter "Tardy of the Century".

12. "See You" by Foo Fighters: The other song for "Tardy of the Century"

13. "Thelma" by Paul Simon: Wrong name but right vibe for the last chapter. :)

14. "This Will Be Our Year" by The Zombies: Because this line: "This will be our year/Took a long time to come" speaks lots of truths for this story and I just friggin' LOVE this song.

And that's it! Hope you enjoy!
