Every day or so I’m sharing a song from my Scottish fantasy novel’s playlist alongside some annotations!

Track 4 - Revolution, The Score

To me, this song represents Cait’s arrival in Thorterknock. Compared to previous songs, it’s quick and loud, asThorterknock is quick and loud. It’s a place of industry, and a place of opportunity. It’s a living, breathing system of people from different classes and backgrounds. It’s always moving, always rattling. This makes it the perfect setting for revolution. Cait’s arrival in Thorterknock is the catalyst for her political awakening. She is taken by the irresistible force of the city, and its plucky, hopeful residents.

There’s a revolution coming”

“Oh, can you hear the drumming?
