Songs for the Last Days – Lauren’s Playlist

Music was once such a part of my life. The best part. The one part the Red Marsh King could never touch. I forget how much we’ve lost.

Lauren’s Playlist

All our lives have playlists. Songs that were with us in our moments of weakness. They rocked our world when we loved, and when our hearts were broken, they mopped up our tears.

Lauren is no different. And like all of us, the very best of these, the ones that meant the most or were more a memory than a song, she saved in a playlist.

‘Almost Okay With It’ – ianhedley – RMK Design (Adobe – AI – Photoshop) – 2024

I didn’t know why, but my smile slipped. I threw on a black hoody and zipped it up. For some reason, it felt like giving in.

And I was almost okay with that.

‘The Songs of Crow’ – ianhedley – RMK Design (Adobe – AI – Photoshop) – 2024

When I was fourteen years old, music shaped me. It dressed me. Moulded how I thought. Who I fancied. It bloodied my nose and gave me a voice. Music and me were inseparable. We still are.
