You know that moment when you finish a movie and that first song in the credits rolls, and it’s just perfect?

Well, to me, these songs sum up each of these stories perfectly. They’re the songs I can imagine in the credits–if there were such a thing in a book. Many of them I found after I’d written the story, and it just resonated. Some I listened to while I was writing.

Forgive me for my eclectic taste in music. I’m not endorsing the artists or any of the shows, and I’m not affiliated or associated with them in any way—I just like the songs.

I originally linked to Spotify, but several people had trouble getting it to work, so now I just have a list, and you can look them up on your favorite music service.
