Between Two Fires Playlist
The instrumental half moves between the desolation of plague-struck villages, the weight of medieval faith, and the perilous journey Thomas and Delphine share. The vocal half brings in laments, prayers, and songs of reckoning, tracing the story’s passage from horror toward hard-won tenderness and hope.
