Soundtracks and their stories
Soundtracks accidental, serendipitous and contrived... To be added to as the fancy strikes me.
Kenshin
canon
Era (Lucio Battisti)
This song is old! Did you know? I listened to it for years before I ever looked it up.
-
modern-times AU
Maybe Sprout Wings (The Mountain Goats)
-
Cyberpunk Kenshin
"Blades of Blood," "Witchy Woman" (Vathara)
Wires (Athlete)
88 downloads? Someone really likes this song. Or maybe you agree cyberpunk Kenshin is delicious.
→fanart for "Witchy Woman"
-
Kingdom Hearts
Axel
Returning to the Fold (The Thermals)
The vast majority of Thermals songs are basically written for Organization XIII
-
Sora ++
Stamp (Nishino Kana)
Deep in Your Heart (Doumoto Kouichi)
"Stamp" is clearly Sora+Roxas. "Deep in Your Heart" is Sora+Everyone! Especially Riku.
-
Vagrant Story
Ashley + Sydney
Wood (Second Person)
I basically just loop this while I'm playing the game now
-
FF7
canon
Unless It's Kicks (Okkervil River)
To The Sky (Maps)
One of these broke my heart. Wry u do that, Okkervil River, wry?
-
fanon (Particularly fics by ciceqi)
Core and Rind (Andrew Bird)
Seph on lead vocals and guitar, Cloud on guitar, Zack on drums, Reno on keyboard, Rude on bass, everyone on backup vocals!
-
Gundam Wing
canon
Here's Your Future (The Thermals)
I Let It Go (The Thermals)
The rest of Thermals songs are written for GW
-
"Freeport" (Maldoror)
St. Rosa and the Swallows (The Thermals)
Duo sings most songs for the GW boys, but this song is for himself
-
"The Arrangement" (Maldoror)
To Destruction (Dolorean) →lyrics
I love Wufei so much
-
01x02
Half Life (Imogen Heap)
How We Fade (The Thermals)
Damn, and I don't even like this aspect of this pairing! Imogen Heap is made of shiny.
"How We Fade" could work in a zillion places, but 01x02 deserve kickass, so it goes here.
-
01
Pulverized (Calla)
I knew there was something Heero would sing! Probably!
-
05x01
A Stare Like Yours (The Thermals)
All Thermals, all the time~
This song would work for 05x02 too, but I say the surly pair gets it.
-
psycho 02
For Real (Okkervil River)
Ah, the hallowed and venerable "Psycho Duo" subgenre. What, you say? You need an introduction?
I only recently started listening to this album (Black Sheep Boy) with full attention and @_@ I now realize this is just the most obviously crazy psycho song on it. (Yes, I thought "A Glow" was sappy romance for years!)
-
02+05
Bastard (Ben Folds)
Working on fic for this. Nothin' more to say!
-
03
Let Your Earth Quake, Baby (The Thermals)
Sorry Trowa... But I'd love to read this story.
-
04
Black Sheep Boy (Okkervil River)
This song in this context feeds the bunnies so bad...
-
05
Help, I'm Alive (Metric)
Am I crazy, picking this for Wufei? Yes. But this is pretty much the Ita Vero theme song. (And Ita will get its own soundtrack post, someday)
-
Gurren Lagann
canon
Chances (John Frusciante)
Spirals (Adem)
-
szzzt fics
Shipverse ("Highwind")
Scarecrow (The Pillows)
Down to Your Soul (Right Away, Great Captain!) →fic
-
"Made Man"
Anthem for the Already Defeated (Rock Plaza Central)
We Will Rock You (Max Raabe & Palast Orchester)
Graceful Ghost Rag (Tom Constanten)
"We Will Rock You" now in the high quality version!
