Songs that go with books

Do short stories count? I wrote a song based on "The Rocket Man" by Ray Bradbury, from his R Is For Rocket Collection.

Here are the lyrics.

Here's a sample soundclip.
(Pardon the recording quality; it was from a live performance)

Interesting...

I've seen this done by Charles deLint in 'Little Country' - actually only the music of tunes mentioned in the novel was presented at the end. I loved it, and remember playing the tunes on my flute. Music was such a significant part of that book that it was really cool to have it in!

Hmm... if I ever do get round to writing my 'country stars' novel, I might come up with some lyrics or even tunes...
My current WIP is not focused on music, so no music there...
