This playlist follows Malcolm, Alice, and baby Lyra from the familiar rhythms of Oxford life into a river journey transformed by flood and danger. Its instrumental opening moves between pastoral calm, unsettled currents, and wide-open adventure; the vocal songs add human warmth, youthful resolve, and the story’s sense of looming change.
