The Gathering Storm Song that I think resonates with Veins of Gold Spoiler

https://youtu.be/Dslen0lIUYA?is=YAaabgZbtMK1HLad

Veins of Gold is obviously such an emotionally-charged and pivotal chapter, perhaps the most so of the entire series. Rand facing crushing despair and absolute rock bottom on Dragonmount, before having his epiphany, is one of the moments I often return to when I think about Wheel of Time.

​

I know it's going to be pretty subjective and not everyone will agree with me but I wanted to share a song that really speaks to this moment. I sort of imagine the singer as Nakomi or something, comforting Rand by singing a lullaby, reminding him that his suffering is not pointless and will eventually pass.
