Listen on Spotify ↗
The available information identifies only a work of fiction by Jason Myers, so this playlist avoids inventing its setting, characters, or plot. Its instrumental half moves between measured preparation and forward momentum; its vocal half gathers songs about purpose, resolve, uncertainty, and commitment, treating the title’s suggestion of a mission as a cautious musical thread rather than a claim about the story.
