A visionary fiction playlist built to mirror Ben Reeves’s emotional arc—tender wonder at the edges of reality, then gradual pressure, then quiet re-alignment. The instrumental half evokes metaphysical distance and inner weather, while the vocal half treats each lyric as a symbolic “scene” in the book’s shifting perception.
