Fabian_Caldwell she/her Posted September 15, 2017 Posted September 15, 2017 Hey, all! I found myself yearning for Oathbringers' November 14th release a few days ago, so I decided to make a playlist of some rock/pop/ folk songs that I think represent the characters. I encourage all of you fellow Sanderfans to add more playlists in different genres, but here's my start. The playlist is in the image. I'll explain a few key songs for you, though, as I have a few more obscure artists on the list. Anyway, one of the most representative songs, I think, is "River Driver" by Great Big Sea, which is a band from Newfoundland with heavy Celtic influences. Listening to the lyrics, they paint a picture of desperate young men being forced to work as river drivers (loggers). The lyrics like "Was just the edge of sixteen" and "far away from home" I think represent the hopelessness of Kaladin's situation in "The Way of Kings" and that imagery is a reminder of what he had to endure to get to the point of being an accepted Radiant in Dalinar's charge. The context of the song is different of course, but substitute "river driver" for "bridgeman" and the song works perfectly. Thanks for reading, and I hope that all of you will add your own playlists and suggestions!
