#sit down on 'em Amos! Make it count son!

[petluck]

"Now the folks from down South Louisiana said Amos was a hell of a man.

He could trap the biggest, the meanest alligator, and just use one hand.

That's all he got left 'cause an alligator bit it!

Left arm gone, clean up to the elbow!"

So very excited to share this! It’s a playlist for my upcoming Free! fic, This Heart of Mine, the rewritten sequel to Eyes Wide Open All the Time. You can listen to the playlist on YouTube; this list simply helps define who or what a song represents to me. This list also includes some lyrics that you may want to pay special attention to. I recommend reading the lyrics by themselves before listening to the playlist. Mind you - some of these lyrics only act as symbolism. Some mean more. Some songs have connections. Some don’t. ;) *go girl give us nothing* List below!
