Okay. I have so many ~thoughts and ~feelings about this.
First and foremost, this is absolute perfection! Like, this IS the soundtrack to this fic! During every song that played, I could see the fic as if it were a movie and it was incredible!
I found everything so fitting and this is definitely how I see it, which of course may be different from what you intended.
I laughed at first when I saw "My Morning Jacket," because there was an episode of American Dad that featured them. But Circuital was a perfect starter and it just got me into a ~mood and when I revisited the prologue, I was just in love with how it fit. Same goes for Find it in Me, which I can TOTALLY picture as Jim trying to explain things to Bones, but being so blocked by his own doubts and emotions. Add My Effort was a perfect complement to Bones and his curiosity and feelings towards Jim.
Northern Skies is lovely, and I definitely see it playing as Jim gets the call from Starfleet. And of course Lights is one of the songs I listened to OVER AND OVER again whilst writing this story and this remix was great! Lights just sums up Jim's feelings about this mission so well. Night Squall was a gorgeous bit of instrumental that was bittersweet and haunting and just added so much to the atmosphere of the story.
Lippy Kids is now officially one of my favorite songs. It's such a great song for Jim and Riley as they're trying to deal with all the emotions this mission is bringing up. Easy definitely fits for me as a song to play while Jim and Riley start out laughing and reminiscing about their childhood together on Tarsus IV and then transitions beautifully into the other song I consider as defining this fic, which is Fear and is all about Jim and Riley and how their time started out so innocent yet ended up so heartbreaking and life-changing.
I Believe in Outer Space for me really fits as young Jimmy Kirk full of excitement as he records his video logs. And also, I feel, for the crew as they're discovering this side to Jim that they would have never guessed existed. Running For Home I can also see for both Jim and the crew as the truth about Kodos and Jim's relationship with him comes out. And OMG Dustbowl Dance is an incredibly powerful and haunting song for Jim and his anger at the mission, the crew, his past on Tarsus IV, and the betrayal he experienced from Kodos.
