Straight on Till Morning Playlist
This playlist is built to mirror the novel’s emotional pacing—restless nights, heartfelt conversations, and a steady movement toward dawn. Instrumentals keep the page-turn momentum while the lyric tracks land on themes of loyalty, self-discovery, and the fragile hope that keeps someone going “straight on till morning.”
