The Soundtrack Project
I'm not sure what prompted me to do it, but some time ago, I started collecting songs that I thought would be appropriate for a soundtrack to the TPDoEQ series. I wasn't listening for songs; I was browsing around on websites, looking for lyrics that more or less matched the plots. (In some instances, I wanted to tell the songwriters to get out of my head, because the songs were just too close for comfort.) It is my long-term wish to actually collect all the songs and burn a soundtrack CD for my own amusement, and perhaps as a gift to the minions and fan artists; but in the meantime, the project is still underway. Of course, it won't be finished until the series is, because I can't find songs for volume V until I write it! Here, though, are the songs I have found thus far. Click on a title to view the lyrics; I'm putting them up a bit slowly, so they might not all be ready.
