Chapter 32.
Pretenders - “Love Colours”
Nobody mixes softness and steel quite like Chrissie Hynde.
Chapter 33.
Le Cassette - “I Will Show You”
I debated picking a more heroic song for this chapter, but between the wedding backdrop and Alix baring her heart, there was really no other choice.
Chapter 34.
The Albion Band - “Ragged Heroes”
This is Gally’s big moment, so we finally get to hear her true, triumphant theme song.
Chapter 35.
Battlefield Band - “One More Chorus”
The perfect song for an all-night party…
Chapter 36.
The Cure - “Plainsong”
And the perfect music for kissing in the snow.
Epilogue.
Shadow Academy - “Kaleidoscope”
I imagine this as sort of “end credits” music—I had it set to finish out this playlist even before I wrote the epilogue.
Gally and Alix will return in
The Great Elvish Bake Off
