For many people, music is a creative form that fills the gaps between expression and interpretation. Oftentimes, music is able to express a mood or feeling that words or visuals cannot. But what about when music and words are paired together? Introducing literary jukebox, a project by Maria Popova that features “quotes from beloved books, each thematically matched with a song.” From Beethoven to David Bowie, Popova has built a collection of songs that really complement the meanings of each of the quotes she finds. You can access literary jukebox on Brain Pickings or you can follow the page on tumblr.
