I salute your interpretation of the prompt (yay, corvids!), but we mods have some reservations about the execution (no pun intended). If the list is intended to make us think about how the songs go together, then perhaps links to the music on youtube, or some commentary/meta on the list as a whole -- or something else to make this feel like a finished fanwork?
