Hey guys. I've been writing chapter 67, but I just wanted to tell you what the music I listen to as I write The Drummer is.
So, for your Christmas/New Year present, I've created a playlist for the story! I've also put all the songs in a kind of order that correlates with the mood of the story. It also contains the songs that the later chapters are titled after/ based on. It's pretty long, so don't bother if you're not interested haha.
It's available on my Spotify if you want to have it playing along in the background as you read! My account is ellyfunnell and the playlist is called 'the drummer soundtrack'. Go check it out. I've got playlists on there for most of my other stories, too!
Broken Arrow - Pixie Lott this is actually the song of the whole book. It's what the relationships in this story are based around. So give this a listen, especially in later chapters.
