Skip | 517 comments So when the main character is a guitar god (lute lord?), there has to be a soundtrack discussion. I always listen to music when I read, mostly just random songs from my iTunes library. I thought I'd suggest a few general and a few chapter specific songs (clips in the links) to get us started.

General:

Bob Dylan Blowin' in the Wind

Bruce Cockburn Child of the Wind (super appropriate)

For Specifics:
Chapter 19 Fingers and Strings

Genesis Horizon's

David Crosby A Song with No Words (Tree with no Leaves)

Chapter 34: A Place to Burn

Crosby Stills and Nash Guinneve

Genesis White Mountain

Yes Roundabout



I know there were others, but this should be a good start.


Paolo I'm guessing some Nick Drake - specifically from Pink Moon - would be pretty good.


Skip | 517 comments I updated the links so they actually play something now.


Skip | 517 comments A few character specific ones:

Kvothe and Denna: Romeo and Juliet by Dire Straits, much too appropriate.

Fela : Brick House the Commodores.

Sim: She Blinded me with Science Thomas Dolby

Elodin Swan Swan H by REM

Ambrose: I'm too Sexy by Right Said Fred

And a spoiler for WMF
