Soundtrack for In Eddy We Trust

A NOTE FROM STEVE:

If you’re like me, reading puts your mind into a mode where you ‘see’ the story, much like a movie. For an enhanced experience, I’ve created a soundtrack for the book because why not? These are the same tunes I heard when writing the scenes they’re attached to.

Listen to the songs before reading the scene to set the mood. Then, re-listen to them as background music. I’m a music nerd. So, many of these songs, or the versions I chose, might be new to you. Pop on the headphones and make it an experience!

Enjoy!
