What in the world connects those songs? They're on my iPod, but that's true of a lot of songs. They're all in common time, but so are a lot of songs.

They all were instrumental (ha, pun) in the creation of the story that I'm trying to write right now.

I have four narrators. Michael is a guardian angel. He lived on Earth around 1000 BC. He's a Slytherin. He guards another narrator, Marie Gregson, a girl who lives in Lake Oswego, Oregon. She's a Ravenclaw. One of her friends is Connor O'Donnell, who is another narrator. He's a Gryffindor. The final narrator, Kelly O'Donnell, is Connor's dead older sister. She's a Hufflepuff.

I'm very excited for this story. It's important to me.
