This playlist follows Percy from the strange, electric uncertainty of discovering who he is into the momentum and danger of a cross-country quest. Its instrumental half shifts between cinematic scale, mythic grandeur, and restless electronic color; the vocal half adds themes of loyalty, betrayal, belonging, and the complicated pull of family.
