this book had a huge impact on me, so i had to put together a soundtrack to keep the fire alive:

grab the kids and the cats and lets go…

the salty sea is black like the sky, it’s tossing me between its waves…

and i’ll cross oceans, like never before, so you can feel the way i feel it too, i’ll mirror images back at you…

the waves and the wind, the night is black…
