Andy and Tomson in Madrid, Spain in 2016

Listening to Music in the Afterlife

20th May 2026

I'm literally writing this just after it happened. I'm in Spain at the moment, and Tomson used to love our Spanish holidays. I was browsing video editing software, as the software I currently use is a bit pricey for what it is and I was looking at some alternatives. Andy, meanwhile, has been playing and downloading to music to listen to, because I keep booting him out of the room if I have an online  mediumship class to attend or a Podcast to record.

At about half five, Spanish time, I had this random thought: I wonder if Tomson can listen to music down here on Earth from the afterlife?

Back in 2016 when we were all out here together, Tomson had Blurryface by Twenty One Pilots on repeat the whole holiday. That track always reminds us of him.

Anyway, no more than a minute or two after I’d had that thought… Blurryface started playing.

Andy nearly fell off his chair. He had no idea he’d even downloaded it, and he was playing tracks one after another in order - yet this one just popped up straight after the previous song.

Not only did Tomson answer my question, he let us both know he’s right here on holiday with us… and cheekily gatecrashing Andy’s playlist.
