I've been adding songs to my Surgeburnt playlist as I come across them, and noticing a pattern: all of Maren's songs, except one, in some way reference death or dying. There's a nihilistic attitude underlying the songs I've chosen, a sense of "don't hold back, because it's all about to end." Case in point, my most recent addition:
Last Damn Night - Elle King
Maybe I could go on a deliberate search for a cheerful song, but it would probably just feel wrong.
About Me
- Lindsey Duncan
- I'm a professional harp performer, chef / pastry chef, and speculative fiction writer from Cincinnati, Ohio. My contemporary fantasy novel Flow is available from Double Dragon Publishing, and my science fiction novel Scylla and Charybdis is now out from Grimbold Books. I've also sold a number of short stories and a few pieces of speculative poetry. I write predominantly fantasy, usually epic and/or humorous, with some soft science fiction. I play the traditional lever harp with a specialty in Celtic music - but I also perform modern and Renaissance tunes. And yes, you read that right - I have a diploma in Baking and Pastry and an Associates in Culinary Arts and am currently working in the catering field at Kate's Catering and Personal Chef Services (Dayton, KY). I am a CPC (Certified Pastry Culinarian) and CSW (Certified Specialist of Wine).
