Character Theme songs
Anyone else have theme songs they hear for different characters, or certain music they play while writing their own characters?
For Cyn I hear Darling Nicki, originally by Prince and covered by the Foo Fighters; yeah, it's about a girl, but fitting. If I'm thinking about it I change the words in my head so it's about a boy :D.
For Ellis, probably Battle Flag by Lo Fidelity Allstars and Evil Angel by Rufus Wainwright most often. Battle Flag is a good song for the Tachs :).
For Simon, I'd say probably the Mouth remix by Bush.
Don't have anything specific I can recall for Talon, though he gets teh Metal :).
Thaddeus varies; he actually seems to like the Beatles, John Lennon stuffs, and more surprisingly Pink Floyd...not stuff I'm omg super fans of, but *shrugs*. I call him a dirty hippie, bickering ensues, it's very funny. Anyway...yeah I'm crazy...anyway, lots of Rufus Wainwright going on for him as well. Across the Universe by The Beatles when he's feeling good.
Mae sent me a song called Bad Brother, which I find helps a lot for getting The Wolf down on paper.
Aishe is the Spirited Away soundtrack.
I still can't figure out what emo is..
Funny part is...neither can anyone else
I am told, however, that Elliott Smith is considered emo; here is one of my favorites by him that strickes me as very Kem and Aishe:
Pitseleh - Elliot Smith
I'll tell you why I don't want to know where you are
I got a joke I been dying to tell you
a silent kid is looking down the barrel
to make the noise that I kept so quiet
I kept it from you, Pitseleh
I'm not what's missing from your life now
I could never be the puzzle pieces
they say that God makes problems
just to see what you can stand
before you do as the devil pleases
and give up the thing you love
but no one deserves it
the first time I saw you I knew it would never last
I'm not half what I wish I was
I'm so angry, I don't think it'll ever pass
and I was bad news for you just because
I never meant to hurt you
(Pitseleh is a yiddish term of endearment, means 'little one')
Jan muttered that he's not emo
(we know he is)
So for Addison at the moment would the theme be "Dude looks like a lady?"
Ellis = Lecher Bitch by the Genitorturers...kind of stuck while playing through Bloodlines recently. Work 01 by Front 242 works as well, for obvious reasons.
Simon = The Grudge by Tool really sums up his situation. Red Right Hand works as well.
Nova = Nirvana, of course, though selecting a single song is rough.
Jan = Satan is my Motor, since he's never up to any good...but sometimes it isn't obvious.
Amberelle = Counting Flowers on the Wall summed up our thread nicely.
Shay = Open Book works for Shay...but there's gotta be something closer.
Mathias = Religion by Front 242, overall.
And for Alec...well, Loser, by Beck. Errr...waitaminute...I mean Intruder. Cool thread, thanks for bumping it!
:P Of course it might have been better, had she said it herself...
For Artemis, "Who wants to Live Forever" by Queen fits his serious side. Not sure about his less than serious side.
EDIT: Alfarinn and I came up with the perfect Artemis song. Weird Science. Though I do not know who it is by.
Suki is Cry Freedom by Dave Matthews Band
Cyrus probably needs something by Nine Inch Nails
Bert? No clue. haha Poor poor Bert
She’d is smiling –far- to innocently but is suggesting Artemis might like to consider
“She Blinded Me With Science”
Weird Science is by Oingo Boingo btw.
One night in Bangkok is a neat song even if most people have no idea what its about and where its from. (not that I'm suggesting you don't just know that from past experience with it on the radio in college. )
*Raises his eyebrows at Thaddeus*
Wait....that sounded wrong....yeah.
How come I never hear that?
How come I never hear that?
Greedy much??
