About This Playlist

The Tower After the Lightning explores a card many people fear because it often arrives with shock, disruption or sudden truth.


But The Tower is not punishment. It is the moment something unstable can no longer stand. It can feel dramatic, but it often reveals what was already cracked beneath the surface.


This playlist follows the sound of collapse, truth and survival — not to glorify destruction, but to recognise what becomes possible after the lightning has shown what cannot be ignored.

The Story Through the Songs

The playlist begins with intensity, pressure and the feeling of something about to break.


It moves through shock, confrontation, survival and the emotional impact of truth arriving suddenly.


As the playlist progresses, the energy shifts towards resilience, rebuilding and the recognition that what falls may have been too unstable to hold you safely anyway.

How to Use This Playlist

Use this playlist when The Tower appears in a reading, or when something has shifted suddenly and you are still trying to understand what happened.


Listen for the point where collapse becomes clarity. Notice which songs feel like impact, and which ones feel like standing back up.

Sharon’s Signature Twist

Sharon’s Signature Twist is that The Tower is not the universe being cruel. It is the moment the truth becomes louder than the illusion. After the lightning, you are not left with nothing — you are left with what is real.
