Character Songs
I'm trying to remember all of the songs that I assigned as "themes" for characters. I-I don't know why I suddenly had the interest to do this, I guess I just wanted to keep track. It was brought about last night when I was listing to I'm With You thinking "has it applied to any chapter more than 38!?!" and that type of relevance is just rather inspiring, since music brings out a lot of feelings in you. I kind of need it sometimes to train my brain into thinking like the character. It can bring me up or take me down. I have to feel sure that it does to me what the character would.
Some songs relate me to them a lot (I'm With You), others take me to a funky place (Different People), others take away some of my energy and make me a little pensive. (Dark Blue) Others remind me of the characters' voices, so I listen going "Mmm..." (Here In My Room, Strange & Beautiful)
I did these in order of my Old-to-Recent list on my website. You can tell how some of my music tastes shifted since I was 14. XD
Jill
Zombie - The Cranberries
Kione
Imaginary - Evanescence
Casper
Aerials - System of a Down
My "version" of Mr. Crocker
Superman - 3 Doors Down
Michelle
Michelle - The Beatles (howoriginal,rite?)
Cosmo
Dark Blue - No Doubt
Too Late - No Doubt
(they're sorta connected in Dark Blue, which has a pause and an orchestral version of Too Late that I grew attached to!)
Lady Bow
Haunted - Evanescence
Dorian
Here In My Room - Incubus
Ani
Marionette - Megumi Hayashibara
Emma
Emma's Song - Cenn (Beautiful piano piece. I have NO idea who actually wrote it. Unlisted file that has survived the years.)
Fritz Huhnmorder
Go Monkey Go - Devo
Tilly AND Jo
Different People - No Doubt
The Phantom
Strange & Beautiful - Aqualung
Lily
I'm With You - Avril Lavigne
Not an adequate list by any means! A lot of characters still NEED songs! I'd really like to have ones for Akira, Mariam, individual ones for Tilly and Jo, Crystallina... I should ask Kate. She put a number of new things in my HT soundtrack just by flicking through her playlist.
*excited* I love the end result of music-hunting.
