Time of Your Life When two of the world's brightest stars collide in 1995—a rock frontman and the generation-defining model everyone writes songs about—their connection is instant, all-consuming, and absolutely unavoidable. Joah and Ysolde burn for each other with an intensity that makes them feel more alive than ever, but being loved by someone as powerful and untamable as yourself comes with a dangerous edge. As their passion deepens, the very things that drew them together—their independence, their fame, their refusal to be controlled—become the fault lines threatening to crack them apart. This is a sweeping tale about two luminous people trying to hold onto each other while the world, and their own hearts, push them toward inevitable destruction.
Reading soundtrack
Dreamy '90s indie-pop meets sultry R&B—think ethereal vocals over lush production. Capture that intoxicating rush of instant connection, magnetic attraction, and burning intensity without crossing into explicit territory. Soft sensuality meets rock edge.
