A My Name is a Knife Playlist

I've been putting together a playlist to go with the novel--it's under "My Name is a Knife" at Spotify (if you don't have it, you can download a free version!). Below, I've listed a few of the pieces that have YouTube versions too. 

Some are traditional, some more random, but all of them tie to the book's situations or moods, I think, or were songs I listened to while I was writing. Thanks to my friend Suzy Larsen for some of the Bach suggestions. (Bach is really good for writers.) Also happy to entertain your suggestions.
