Sanzo ::
Rain ~ Seki Toshihiko
" On a quiet night like this
When everyone's faces seem to look the same
I breathe out my heart's hesitation
And the smoke from my cigarette "
Comments: I can't remember where I found this translation. I found a site that had a lot of the song translations (via the wayback machine because the site is gone now)
but it's a slightly different translation.
(Also I'm a little sad that the only YouTube link I could find was for a Naruto vid and not a Saiyuki vid.)
Anya ::
Hit Em Up Style ~ Blu Cantrell
"
Can't believe that
I caught my man cheatin'
So I found another way
To make him pay for it all "
Comments: If your man cheats, Anya will make him pay.
Anya & the CCWS ::
Cell Block Tango ~ Chicago Motion Picture Soundtrack
"
He had it coming
He had it coming
He only had himself to blame.
If you'd have been there
If you'd have heard it
I betcha you would
Have done the same! "
Comments: Dedicated to the Crazy Chicks with Swords (and the two Crazy Chaps with Screwdrivers) and one of my
favorite RP event threads ever.
Mugen ::
Rock 'n' Roll All Nite ~ Kiss
"
I wanna rock and roll all night and party every day "
Comments: Fun Fact, I actually made that vid, but I only uploaded it to
AMV. I'm kind of flattered that someone bothered to upload it to YouTube.
Kougaiji ::
You Were In My Heart ~ Lenny Kravitz
"
I want to be a better man
Lord knows that I'm trying
I want to keep the master's plan
But sometimes things get wild
Demons sleep with me in bed
I can feel their fire
When darkness gets around my head
Sometimes I go blind "
Comments: That quote kind of sums up Kougaiji's struggle. He's a good man working for evil people in order to protect his family and friends.
Kougaiji & Yukina ::
Call It Love ~ Blackmore's Night
"
I feel like I've known you my whole life.
Every day and night was made just for us.
I don't know what I ever did before
You walked through my door and changed my whole life. "
Comments: I actually made a Kougaiji/Yukina vid to this song as a present for Kia, who played Yukina. It's not online though.
Kougaiji, Ky, and Naoto ::
Good Morning! ~ Singin' In The Rain Motion Picture Soundtrack
"
So, good mornin', good mornin'!
Sunbeams will soon smile through,
Good mornin', good mornin', to you "
Comments: Another one of my
favorite RP event threads.
Kirihara Misaki ::
Beautiful Stranger ~ Madonna
"
Haven't we met
You're some kind of beautiful stranger
You could be good for me
I've had the taste for danger "
Comments: Misaki is the Lois Lane to Hei/Li's Superman/Clark Kent.
Death ::
O Death ~ Jen Titus
"
Oh, Death,
Well I am Death, none can excel
I'll open the door to heaven or hell. "
Comments: This version of the song was recorded specifically for
a promo for the 5th season of Supernatural. I think it's beautiful and eerie, which suits Death of the Endless. The fact that it's sung by a woman makes it even better.
Dante ::
I Don't Wanna Stop ~ Ozzy Osbourne
"
All my life I've been over the top
I don't know what I'm doing all I know is I don't wanna stop
All fired up, I'm gonna go 'til I drop
You're either in or in the way, don't make me I don't wanna stop "
Comments: This song just fits Dante so well. The lyrics describe his attitude, and it's heavy metal, so it would probably be something he would listen to.
Dante ::
Runnin' With The Devil ~ Van Halen
"
I live my life like there's no tomorrow
And all I've got I had to steal
Least I don't need to beg or borrow
Yes, I'm living at a pace that kills "
Comments: Another song that could have been written for Dante.
Dante & Teresa ::
I Found Love (When I Found You) ~ Kenny Wayne Shepherd
"
Oh once in a lifetime
Hey that's how it feels
There's something so good (so damn good)
How can it be real "
Comments: I can't listen to this song any more without picturing Dante singing it to Teresa while playing it on guitar.
Castiel ::
Seagull ~ Bad Company
"
Here is a man asking the question
Is this really the end of the world?
Seagull, you must have known for a long time
The shape of things to come. "
Comments: To me this is Castiel of Season Four: remote, mysterious, and destined for a fall.
John Watson ::
Coming Home ~ Alter Bridge
"
So I'm coming home
Lost on a road I don't belong
I'll rest my song
I'm so alone "
Comments: I actually did a whole fanmix for John, which can be found
here.
Thor ::
Stormbringer ~ Deep Purple
"
Comin' out of nowhere
Drivin' like rain
Stormbringer dance
On the thunder again
Ride the rainbow
Crack the sky "
Comments: I don't know if the song was intended to be about the Norse god Thor, but it does fit him very well.
