Song on the Brain

Mar 13, 2011 19:48

You probably all have it from time to time: a song on the brain. Whether it's the last song you heard in the morning before you go somewhere, or whether it's just someone reminding you of a song in a way they did not even realise, it's pretty annoying.
Fortunately (cough, cough) for me, my head seems to work like an mp3-player on shuffle, and the ( Read more... )

I love most of your song choices, especially Florence + The Machine (I'm absolutely addicted to Fl+M) and Running Up that Hill is one of my favorite songs (I also have an amazing Within Temptation cover of that one). I also tend to associate certain songs with particular ships, especially when I’ve watched an amazing fanvid for that ship, or (in Luke/Reid’s case), when I’m writing fan fiction and have a song in the background.

For instance:
Michael Henry & Justin Robinett - Slow Dancing in a Burning Room -- > Damon/Elena (The Vampire Diaries). I don’t even actively ship Damon/Elena, but I once came across a fanmix for this couple and I loved the song and now it’s “their” song in my mind. Same goes for Bloodstream, by Stateless.

I associate the song Fresh Blood by Eels with True Blood and The Vampire Diaries, but I guess that makes sense.

Sarah McLachlan - Do what you have to do --> Michael/Sara (Prison Break). This was my OTP when I was sixteen and there was this amazing fanvid to this song and now it’s one of my favorite songs and to me, it's still "their" song.

Sara Bareilles - King of Anything --> Luke/Noah.

The Fray - Look after you --> Michael/Sara and Luke/Noah. I was never really a Luke/Noah fan, but for some reason I associate this song with them. I don’t even think the song fits Luke/Noah, but I always write Luke/Noah scenes while listening to this song.

The Fray - How to save a life --> Izzie/Denny (Grey’s Anatomy) or just Grey’s Anatomy in general. Same goes for Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol.
Snow Patrol - Make this go on forever -- > Meredith (Grey’s Anatomy)
All Thieves - Turn and Turn again -- > Owen/Cristina (Grey’s Anatomy)

Luke & Reid songs:
Florence and the Machine: Howl, Drumming Song, Bird Song Intro, Hardest of Hearts, My Boy builds coffins, Cosmic Love. You name it and I associate it with LuRe, because I write LuRe fics with Fl+M on repeat XD.

Chase Coy (feat. Colbie Caillat) - If the moon fell down tonight: There was a LuRe scene where this song played in the background and it’s a perfect LuRe song, imo.

Natalie Merchant - My Skin: This is one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard and it fits a lot of couples I love, including LuRe.

And of course, there are a lot more couples and there are songs that I associate with things in my personal life as well, but this comment is long enough as it is. ;)

Yay, I absolutely adore FL+M as well :) And I've heard that Within Temptation cover, I don't think I can decide which version I like best: Kate Bush's, Placebo's or Within Temptation's...

Wow, Slow Dancing in a Burning Room is absolutely amazing. I've never heard the song before, not even the original, but it's definitely one of my favourites now :D And Bloodstream sounds great as well :)

Haha, yeah, that makes sense :) The song's very interesting, though, I'm gonna listen to that again when I have more time, I'm intrigued...

I must say I've never watched Prison Break, but that song is wonderful. And Sarah McLachlan just always sings beautifully :)

Oh, I love King of Anything, I only recently heard it on the radio. And I see the connection with Luke/Noah :D

Ah, yes, I knew I forgot a song. My association between Luke/Noah & Look after you is through this fanvid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DVZXVG3Vbw So that's why it sticks in my mind.

Oooh, I love all you The Fray & Snow Patrol choices :D I absolutely adore those as well. A great song from Snow Patrol is Run, do you know that one?

I don't know that song by All Thieves, but it sounds really cool, quite relaxed but beautiful.

Heh, yeah any FL+M song will work for LuRe XD

Really, there was a scene where that played? *checks song* I only remember a fanvid with it, what scene was that in then, do you know? Never mind, long live YouTube, it's the epi of 06-30-10. But the song is perfect indeed :)

That song by Natalie Merchant sounds familiar, somehow. But that's beautiful indeed <3

Haha, oh I never mind song suggestions, I love music :D
