Let's talk about music!

I have very specific songs that I prefer to listen to while working on my Underland inspired fics. Most of them pertain either to a specific character or the interaction between certain characters. Here's a few examples.

I'm a hard rock chick at heart, I listen to bits of everything. Here are some songs I've written to recently for AiW fics, mostly my current WIP over on ff.net, Possible Side Effects.

"What a Shame" Shinedown

The lyrics to this song aren't what really gets me, it's the opening notes. They're beautiful, yet haunting. Perfect for dream sequences.

(Iracebeth/Stayne) "Dirty Work" Halestorm

Get on your knees and let the games begin
Bow to your Queen and I will crown your head
'Cause I can make you every inch a king
Before I do tell me, what's in it for me?

I need someone young, willing and able
You need someone old enough to know better
I want you to

Do my dirty work
Do my dirty work (x3)

Let me be your labor of love
My royal garden needs a hired man
Plant your seed, darlin'
My roses are in your hands"

(Tarrant) "Scalliwag" Celtic Storm

I'll be rapping at your window ( ... )

I'm definitely going to have to check into some of these songs -- I'm always looking for some new awesome music ( ... )

That "Scalliwag" sounds really interesting. You wouldn't happen to have an mp3 to share? :')

OMG I KNEW I WASNT THE ONLY ONE WHO THOUGHT THAT ABOUT "ACCORDING TO YOU!!!!"
Also: Alice and Tarrant, once she's returned to London: "Untouched" by the Veronicas.

Great minds think alike!

I've always loved 'If You Go Away' by Emiliana Torrini.. I think it fits Tarrant's feelings about Alice leaving Underland really well. A little angst never hurt anyone ( ... )

Oh that sounds lovely. I'm going to have to look it up.

The Tarrant in my head just loves Metallica for some reason. I can't listen to it too often, because I just end up getting lost in the music and not typing.

I've got the best image right now of Tarrant headbanging.

clay_roses April 6 2010, 15:56:33 UTC

Does your headbanging Tarrant keep or lose the hat? Cuz mine tosses it angrily and then goes full thrash, air-guitaring for a bit, and even throws in some Angus Young leg kicks.

moonbeamdancer April 6 2010, 16:47:46 UTC

LOL! He tends to like the songs "Where ever I may roam" and "Of Wolf and Man." and it depends, sometimes he has his hat, sometimes he doesn't.

Heard STP's "Sour Girl" for the first time in ages today, and it struck me as very post-movie Tarrant POV.

She turned away, what was she looking at ( ... )

clay_roses April 7 2010, 03:32:11 UTC

Alright, just have to add this, too, and then I'll stop!

Has anyone else seen The Dead Weather's "Die by the Drop" video? Holy Crap, is it Wonderland-licious. Jack White's wearing a vest that is card-like, and a hat; the backgrounds and furniture...omg. Just wondering if anyone else thought the same thing when watching it? The full video is free on iTunes right now but here's the trailer...
