Chapter Text
While Sotto Voce wasn’t a music fic, music played a role in the story — in the names of the wines of Rhapsody Vineyards and as the background and scene setter at various points.
The Sotto Voce Playlist is a combination of songs in the story, music I listened to while writing it and songs that a character or a theme in the story, from Kurt’s electronica to the soulful classics that are very much a part of this characterization of Blaine.
The songs of Rhapsody vineyards are particularly tinged with the modern blues of Michael Kiwanuka and the rustic-folk sounds of Goat Rodeo and Andrew Bird.
The song that really stuck in my head as the music of Sotto Voce, however, is Pearl Jam’s Just Breathe. It’s a beautiful, deceptively simple song that to me just felt like the pace and sound of Rhapsody.
