The number of songs a book has inspired and vice versa is just... amazing.

truly my favourite thing about art and creating it

[@justaperson6922]

Do you have some more recommendations of songs inspired by the book? Have a nice day! ✨️

[@friendly_neighborhood_nerd]

bro i cried when I first heard this, and it was just after i finished the song of achilles. this tore my heart apart and shoved it back in my chest. congrats, my guy, this was an EXPERIENCE, 1000000/10, would do it again

[@l0verr..]

I love this so much because the song of Achilles, Patroclus was the song

[@ngocanchinguyen7712]

As someone who just wrote an essay on the painting of Achilles lamenting the death of Patroclus a few minutes ago, this song hit me hard.

[@AarushiKrishna]

Is there a way I can read it? (I finished the book last week and I love ruining my mental health)

[@victorgomez1919]

Please, tell us where we can read your essay! Please 🙋🏻‍♂️

Ok, HOW. I started crying

[@nashunashu]

"My Blazing Glory, We're my favorite story." There is something so, so perfect about how the lyrics are accentuated by the soft, fond yet longing tone of the music overall. I love the way the lyrics reflect on each other, going back and forth between the everlasting love and the ever persistent mourning. Please excuse me as I cry over this song

[@aoifedopp]

I am so glad I randomly came across this! Your voice is gorgeous and those strings are killer, and the lyrics (namely "loving you is the gentlest of pains") sting in the best way!

Sope - Song of Patroclus 🎶Lyrics🎶 I don't believe that anyone will ever come as close as you I won't believe in love Unless she wears you face How you take me to a higher place My soul, My shadow Loose me like an arrow And I will split the sky in two for you Loving you is the gentlest of pains Weren't we taught to count losses as gains? I really want to say That I've found someone else, but The task is proving harder than I thought And all I ever do is write songs till they turn blue I'll never love another the way I love you Oh, darling, this is the only thing I can't do I haven't held you in a while The memory's wilted dry and grey Still, I've got us framed up in my mind where we are safe laughing all this pain away My blazing glory We're my favourite story I'll tell it till the end of time Loving you is the gentlest of pains Weren't we taught to count losses as gains? It's like the sun's blown out And this galaxy's gone cold, but heaven holds out hope for you And all I ever do is write songs till they turn blue I'll never love another the way I love you Oh, darling, this is the only thing I can't do (I love this Song💔😭💛)

I don't usually comment, but this song has been on my no.1 favourites for a long time now. I recommend it to all my friends who are willing to listen, and I loved the lyrics even before I read the Song of Achilles. Now that I read the book, this became even more beautiful than it was the first time I listened to it. I learnt this song on ukulele to sing sometimes, it's been a comfort song. The lyrics remind me of someone who you can say is the Achilles to my Patroclus, and I've taken comfort in the melody and the lyrics of this song. Sorry this is long, but thank you for this masterpiece!! I hope you get more recognition
