“By evening, when the rain began to descend once again, the front lawns of the homes in Strausberg were more like small lakes than a simple yard. The sky had settled into a tea-stained wash, the dusk rolling in at an urgent pace. The once snowy-white clouds of the sky grew heavy, their bellies swollen with what would become a downpour. The trees and rolling landscapes surrounding the small towns weren’t quite in dire need of a drink, but the ongoing storm was enough to quench their thirst for at least another week. Throughout the night, thunder panned over top of a small stone house on the outskirts of Strausberg. The home was nestled between a large willow tree and a sunken in barn that was one breath away from collapsing.”

Nearer My God to Thee - Titanic Soundtrack.

This could be very lame of me to post. But this song is actually what inspired me to start writing this whole thing. It brought the characters to my mind, and made the plot very clear to me. It really is a simple, yet very stunning, piece of music. And, to be honest, the Titanic soundtrack has some of the most beautiful music I’ve ever heard.

I’m getting far too into this. While writing, I tend to like… make songs in my head that will fit the certain parts of the novel. So, here I am, writing music to make a soundtrack for it. It’s getting a little ridiculous. I’ve never been so serious about a piece like I am about this one.
