songs (2)

i have this thing where i play certain songs to get deeper into a character's headspace. not as background noise — as like. a teleportation device salvatore by lana del rey is perfect for this because there's no real narrative, just a feeling, and you fill that emptiness with whoever you're carrying around in your head at the moment three minutes of the right song and you're already inside them. faster than reading, faster than watching. music just hits different when you're trying to understand someone who doesn't exist i talk to my characters through playlists at this point. is this normal. don't answer that
