King Lear

Book Playlist

King Lear

by William Shakespeare

“King Lear” moves from pride and flattery to abandonment, storm-driven madness, and a tragic, kingdom-wide reckoning. This playlist follows that emotional arc with instrumentals that feel like weather and distance, then lyrics that echo bargaining, betrayal, and the cost of truth.
