Put on your parachute pants, pull up the leg warmers, crank the DeLorean to eighty-eight miles an hour, and travel back with me to the eighties to explore some of my favorite mediocre movies made great by their soundtracks and theme songs. And many of these movies and songs trigger a flood of memories from my childhood whenever they’re on.

Music has always been an influential force in my life. I love to sing, I love to play instruments, I love to dance, and I love the way it can be used as a storytelling medium. Musical scores and movie soundtracks fascinate me. The way songs are picked, written, and curated in such a way that conveys the emotions and trajectory of the narrative is an art form in and of itself. Making playlists for TTRPG characters, writing projects, or even just different moods and stages of life to provide inspiration and energy has become something of a hobby for me as well as an essential part of my creative process.

The egg rests in the river feeling safe, but then, “oh! It’s too cramped,” She emerges. She’s surrounded by ugly creatures, “Is this what I am?” She wonders, and, by reflex, catches a passing larva. “Ah,” she thinks, “I see. But I am strong.” She lives and hunts, so comfortable. But one night she thinks, “I feel so cramped,” She climbs up a reed into the air. “It’s hard to breathe,” she thinks, “It hurts! And yet,” She gasps and struggles- hours pass. She sees her reflection, “Ah,” she thinks, “I see. I am beautiful, fully-formed…” she flew, “and free!”
