ways_back_room | DE: Do you hear that? The music, the band?

I have like, no songs for Dinah and it makes no sense! No songs for Dick, either but I've just started playing him.

The song I do think is incredibly Dinah-ish is I hope you Dance - Lee Ann Womack:

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Livin' might mean takin' chances, but they're worth takin'
Lovin' might be a mistake, but it's worth makin'

I know that song and have always liked it. One that I could see working for a few of your pups is Burn by Jo Dee Messina. Country music is comfort music for me so I know a lot of songs.

Amusingly, that's on my Warehouse playlist for Claudia.

Well, specifically, it reminds Joshua of his sister. *shifty*

I think I actually got it from your playlist >_>

My only current pup with a full playlist is Alyx. Her list can be found here, though I really need to update it. I welcome suggestions for her or for any of my other pups.

...I may have just added these all to a playlist so I can listen to them on my errands today.

I don't have a specific Teresa playlist, but I do have a Claymore playlist (Spotify to see the songlist)

Teresa highlights:
Natural One - Folk Implosion

yeah, we can take it
good and loose on an endless spree
good because we made it
and when momma's not around
there's no telling what we'll do when we're free

Demons - Guster

When I speak I cross my fingers
Will you know you’ve been deceived?
I find a need to be the demon
A demon cannot be hurt

My Beloved Monster - Eels

She will always be the only thing
That comes between me and the awful sting
That comes from living in a world that's so damn mean

Korra's playlist is here.

And I really wish Spotify or I had more of the Avatar soundtracks.

I think I might have both of them? Maybe?

And yet still I don't. :(

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4178087/LOK%20OST.zip Korra (thus far)

Aaaand I thank you! <3

At one point, I tried to make a Will playlist but it turned into my own main playlist. For now I mainly have songs that remind me of pups and would love any suggestions.

For Will, No More from Into the Woods and Not in Nottingham from Disney's Robin Hood.

Charles is trickier but the newest Wallflower's album provided Misfits and Lovers which works rather well. Its where I took the title of my latest fic about him. His movie soundtrack as well, since the opening theme followed him around at one point.

For William, Jakob Dylan's music all seems to fit him with the combination of words and music. Also the actual soundtrack of 3:10 to Yuma.

Sameth, Demeter and Tumnus nothing immediately comes to mind.

For Jane, there's a gorgeous fanvid of Once Upon a December and Becoming Jane, so that's a song I associate with her. I also love the movie's soundtrack.

Pirates of Penzance is one of my favorite operettas and that's the music I associate wit the Pirate King. Whenever I rewatch a youtube vid of Kevin Kline singing, his voice perks up, its yet to get loud enough to play but maybe this summer.

My entire Warehouse 13 playlist can be found here

Most of my Joshua songs are him and Claudia. However, a few highlights:

Still Alive - Portal Soundtrack/Jonathan Coulton

Now these points of data make a beautiful line.
And we're out of beta.
We're releasing on time.
So I'm GLaD. I got burned.
Think of all the things we learned
for the people who are still alive.

In My Place - Coldplay

I was scared, I was scared
Tired and under-prepared
But I'll wait for it

If you go, if you go
Leave me down here on my own
Then I'll wait for you, yeah.

I'll do Helena in a separate tag, because the girl just... has a lot of songs.

Mel's playlist is here. Now with fewer songs about penises, because that was a Mike thing.

This is outdated to about a year ago, but they are still a substantial example of the playlists my characters end up with. Spotify definitely doesn't appear to have any of my Once Upon a Time or Hawaii Five-0 ones on it. But here are the important ones.

Allie's Playlist
Edward's Playlist
Illyana's Playlist
Jo's Playlist
Marian's Playlist
Peeta's Playlist

There's also AU playlists for Hogwarts!Jo and Summer of Sam, Carlisle/Edward's ones for BloodBank & Lifetime's Prelude. There are ship playlists for Jo (2), Marian (3), Edward (3). There's two show play lists to made of just every single piece of music displayed in the show -- one for Supernatural and one for Hawaii Five-0.

I love, love, love music and would love suggestions for any of the following:

bright_daughter | Star (Tarot)

queenofmay | Maid Marian (BBC Robin Hood)

heartofthedream | Jean Grey | Phoenix (X-Men)

themidnightson | Edward Cullen (Twilight)

tobeclosetohim | Jo Harvelle (Supernatural)

real_or_notreal | Peeta Mellark (Hunger Games)

the_fairest | Snow White | Mary Margaret Blanchard (Once Upon a Time)

thebesteverseen | Lt. Commander Steve McGarrett (Five-0)

(And

27yrsandwelldoitallagain | Audrey Parker (Haven) whose playlist hasn't even started yet.)

Edited 2013-05-30 14:03 (UTC)

It's not a perfect match match for Peeta, but my favorite unrequited love song is "Black" by Pearl Jam.

For what it's worth, Voodoo's playlist is here. Though some of it may not be entirely compatible with Steve.

Eeeee. I approve so hard. Must go look at it!

My Steve (/Boys playlist, which is with Laura's & Danny's, all sort of mixed-up and endlessly tangled together the way the H50 boys are) is massive. I need to get my spotify updated for all of these.

And I don't really have any intention of playing her in bar, but I'm pretty proud of my Queen and Country playlist for Tara Chace.

Most of my songs for Helena are modern-era, but still:

Exile Vilify - The National (Portal 2 soundtrack)

Exile
It takes your mind again
Exile
It takes your mind again
Oh, you meant so much
Have you given up?
...
You've got suckers' luck
Have you given up?
Does it feel like a trial?
Does it trouble your mind the way you trouble mine?

Bitch - Meredith Brooks

Just when you think, you got me figured out
The season's already changing
I think it's cool, you do what you do
And don't try to save me

I'm a bitch, I'm a tease
I'm a goddess on my knees
When you hurt, when you suffer
I'm your angel undercover
I've been numb, I'm revived
Can't say I'm not alive
You know I wouldn't want it any other way

Killer Queen - Queen

She's a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, guillotine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime

Drop of a hat she's as willing as
Playful as a pussy cat
Then momentarily out of action
Temporarily out of gas
To absolutely drive you wild, wild..
She's all out to get you

Viva la Vida - Coldplay

For some reason I can't explain
Once you go there was never
Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world

It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I'd become

You get links to a couple of my Helena songs.

"Fake Palindromes," Andrew Bird

and she says, I like long walks and sci-fi movies
you're six foot tall and East Coast-bred
some lonely night we can get together
and I'm gonna tie your wrists with leather
and drill a tiny hole into your head

"Spiral Stairs," Elf Power

then the thunder pulled me awake
and the lightning ripped through the sky
all around me the world was so strange
like the book I always wanted to write

in the end the unseen hand
will pick me up and take me far from home

"A Second Out," Roger Daltrey (EXCUSE ME WHILE I BAWL EVERYWHERE)

out of touch with everyone around me
they were movin' out
I'd given much and yet I found me
to be losin' out

time is the healer
don't let it pass you by
time is the healer
but oh, how it flies

I feel like Carol's playlist and Helena's playlist would get along well. Also... Carol and Helena.

I have a playlist of songs that Enzo's band probably plays or will play, but that is far from the same thing. It includes songs with lyrics very specific to Users (Good Day Sunshine), songs with no lyrics specific to Users for the purposes of common ground (With a Little Help from My Friends), songs chosen to introduce guests (Bad Medicine—hi, Guppy), and songs which have simply caught his attention for one reason or another (Walkthrough, it is a complete Zork walkthrough, I am not even kidding).

I do not have a playlist for Enzo personally, though. Any suggestions? (Or, indeed, suggestions for his band?)

Amascut's playlist is here. Its a bunch of youtube links in a nice looking format, but someday I will put it in an actual playlist thingy.

Recently added is Miss Murder by AFI since it made sense in light of recent canon and ancient canon. Things happen in cycles.

I never made up a playlist for Evil Chicken and haven't played Fairy Fixit long enough to draw up one for her. Suggestions are welcome but I might be more critical of suggestions for Amascut. Her playlist is getting way too long.

Oh! Right! I really wish Death of the Endless was still active around here, because Fait Accompli by Curve is perfect for her, and that's not only because Toni Halliday looks like Death. The song doesn't quite fit Amascut. :P

I actually have three playlists for Thalia to date and their track lists are here. Some highlights are:

Raising Cain by the Mission UK (Her basic outlook on life I think.)

I'm sick and tired of this masquerade
I'm bored to death by the games we play
For to long now it's been a charade
Don't wanna stay around to piss on parade

We Are Pilots by Shiny Toy Guns (Which really speaks to her relationship with her parents.)

Color coated sweetness
Swords beneath my clean dress
I'm making sense of shattered dreams
Because I want you to be proud of me

Take On Me by Reel Big Fish

So needless to say
I'm odds and ends
But I'll be stumbling away
Slowly learning that life is OK
Say after me
It's no better to be safe than sorry

I Don't Need A Hero by Concrete Blonde (This used to be a song for her and Luke but it's become her and William's now)

The colors of that piece of time and still so fresh inside my mind
And it makes the movie of my like seem pale
And all the games I have to play, I got to give a lot of me away
But the part with us will never be for sale

New Divide by Linkin Park

I remembered black skies
The lightning all around me
I remembered each flash
As time began to blur
Like a startling sign
That fate had finally found me
And your voice was all I heard
That I get what I deserve

Red Right Hand by Arctic Monkeys (Just cause it's too perfect for Khronos)

You're one microscopic cog
in his catastrophic plan
Designed and directed by
his red right hand

Hank's track list is here but here are a few of highlights:

Little Lion Man by Mumford & Sons
But it was not your fault but mine
And it was your heart on the line
I really fucked it up this time
Didn't I, my dear?

Nearer by Apoptygma Berzerk
You are reaching your goals
But I'm still trapped inside the mine
Before the break of day
You will be gone and far away

Ashes and Wine by A Fine Frenzy
Is there a chance?
A fragment of light at the end of the tunnel?
A reason to fight?
Is there a chance you may change your mind?
Or are we ashes and wine?

The Captive Heart by Brendan Perry
The old clock is ticking now
Marks the space between us
Your memory enshrouds my heart
For I am held a captive

What Are You Going To Do WIth Your Life? by Echo and the Bunnymen
If I knew now what I knew then
I'd wonder how not wonder when
There's something going wrong again
With me and mine

Edited 2013-05-30 15:27 (UTC)

And I'm out of time for write ups. I'd love suggestions for Jessica Drew (who seems to like Funk Metal?), Quinlan Vos, Anton Gorodetsky or any of my others. =)

For Claudia!

"Tenuousness," Andrew Bird (This is... her flagship song in my head, really.)

tenuousness less seven comes to three
them you us plus eleven
thank the heavens for their elasticity
and that's for those who live and die for astronomy

"Call and Answer," Barenaked Ladies (Claud and Joshua. The whole time, but especially surrounding April's epic fight.)

and if you call, I will answer
and if you fall, I'll pick you up
and if you court this disaster
I'll point you home

"Fire It Up," Modest Mouse (Claud/Fargo.)

fire it up, fire it up
we push off, we're rolling boulders
crashing down the mirrored stairways
two of life's best mine canaries

This is only the tip of the iceberg, but most of my playlist is the Warehouse in general.

Also, Red!

"Furr," Blitzen Trapper (This is as flagship as "Tenuousness" is for Claudia.)

and then I heard my mother shouting through the fog
it turned out to be the howling of a dog
or a wolf, to be exact
the sound sent shivers down my back
but I was drawn into their pack and before long
they allowed me to join in and sing their song

"The Real Me," the Who (I have to include where her journal name's from! It also bridges both worlds pretty neatly.)

I went back to my mother
I said, I'm crazy, Ma, help me
she said, I know how you feel, son
'cause it runs in the family

"Hangin' Around," Counting Crows (This one is pure Ruby.)

this girl listens to the band play
she says, where have you been?
I been lyin' right here on the floor
well I got all this time to be waiting
for what is mine, to be hating
what I am after the light has faded

And, because I can indulge in the bleeding obvious sometimes, this list includes both "Hungry Like the Wolf" and "Werewolves of London."

A recent addition to

fireinthehole's playlist (which is all Mountain Goats songs about crime and jail for the most part):

John Grant -- GMF

You could probably say I'm difficult, I probably talk too much
I overanalyse and overthink things, yes, it's a nasty crutch
I'm usually only waiting for you to stop talking so that I can
Concerning two-way streets, I have to say that I am not a fan

But I am the greatest motherfucker that you're ever gonna meet
From the top of my head down to the tips of the toes on my feet
So go ahead and love me while it's still a crime
And don't forget, you could be laughing sixty-five per cent more of the time

I don't really have one for Aang or Bumi, though I imagine the latter's all swingy-jazz of some sort. Something with some pep that you can dance to.

Raph's playlist is mostly classic, heavy, or alternative rock. Specifically:

"Like a Stone" - AudioSlave (This would be Raph and Death)
"Pride and Joy" - Stevie Ray Vaughn (This is a song about Raph and Abigail)
"When the World Ends" - Dave Matthews (Oakenfold Remix) (Also Raph and Death)
"Just Breathe" - Eddie Vedder
"Fast As You Can" - Fiona Apple
I let the beast in too soon, I don't know how to live
Without my hand on his throat; I fight him always and still
Oh darling, it's so sweet, you think you know how crazy
How crazy I am
You say you don't spook easy, you won't go, but I know
And I pray that you will
Fast as you can, baby runfree yourself of me
Fast as you can

Mike's is poppier rock and rap, plus oldies or anything that has a sweet guitar riff.

"One Week" - Bare Naked Ladies
"Extraordinary Machine" - Fiona Apple
"Two Step" - Dave Matthews
"Enormous Penis" - Di Vinci's Notebook (In my mind it's Mike, Bernard, Wash, and Eddie Dean singing it.
...
Don't ask.)
We are the People Our Parents Warned Us About" - Jimmy Buffett
"C'mon c'mon" - Von Bondies [Fun fact: Mike once trapped Raph into Evil Karaoke of this song.] (Also the theme song to "Rescue Me")

Really any song you can pogo to reminds me of Mike and would probably go on a playlist for him.

...omg I am so sad the Da Vinci's Notebook quartet never had the chance to happen *DYING*

As am I, Pho.
As am I.

Mostly because it lives on in my mind to this day.
(Even the break down of who says what at the very end. It's sad, really.)

Though now that I think on it, I can totally see Mike TRYING to organize this.

Dear Eddie,

Please come back from the clearing so we can sing a song about dicks.

Sincerely,

Mike.

...why am I picturing Wash getting stuck with '...size doesn't matter.'?

Teja's playlist is here. Urquhart has a rudimentary playlist made up from high medieval stuff (mostly Carmina Burana-related) and Scottish folk music, which I've never formally collected, but the 'Goliard's Confession' and 'Loch Lomond' feature prominently.

The rest don't have their own music -- so if there's anything you can think of for my other charries (Poins, Tower, Margolotta, Sirona, Tamara -- who else is there?), I'm grateful for suggestions.

I got nothin'.

So, suggestions for Artemis, Ako, Robo, Tyler Darrow, Janet van Dyne and anyone you've seen out in the sandboxes would be welcome.

For Robo I'd be tempted to suggest any of the Symphony of Science songs. For tormenting purposes there's always MC Hawkins

Cake's Short Skirt, Long Dress comes to mind for Janet.

I don't think I can properly RP a character without a playlist.

These might be a little out of date, but I made posts for a couple people.

Duo's
Coyote's and bonus Coyote and Raven

I just typed up Ambriel's

Donatello is the only one without a full cadre of songs! He only has a few.

I have ever-lengthening playlists for both of mine. Mary's is, quite obviously, not contemporary. I guess I should also note that I tend to put both srs bsns songs that inspire all the feels and songs that are pure crack.

A few of Lady Mary's songs:

Fear by Sarah McLachlan

But I fear I have nothing to give.
I have so much to lose here in this lonely place.
Tangled up in your embrace.
There's there's nothing I'd like better than to fall.

Running up that Hill by Kate Bush

And if I only could,
I'd make a deal with God,
And I'd get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
Be running up that building.

Die Young by Ke$ha:

I hear your heart beat to the beat of the drums
Oh, what a shame that you came here with someone
So while you're here in my arms,
Let's make the most of the night like we're gonna die young

And for Carol:

Titanium by David Guetta & Sia

I'm bulletproof nothing to lose
Fire away, fire away
Ricochet, you take your aim
Fire away, fire away

Go Places by The New Pornographers

Come hell or full circle
Our arms fill with miracles
Play hearts, kid, they work well
Like classics play aces
Stay with me, go places
Once more for the ages

Don't Stop Me Now by Queen

I'm a shooting star leaping through the sky
Like a tiger defying the laws of gravity
I'm a racing car passing by like Lady Godiva
I'm going to go, go, go
There's no stopping me

My only current character playlist is Steve and Orpheus's infinite playlist. I'll keep adding to it until I run out of songs or they break up, so I expect it to get pretty big.

I will take suggestions for any of mine: Steve Rogers, Merlin, Bilbo Baggins, Lydia Harris, the Ice King.

...possible New Kid will have angsty one, I've just realized. Heh.

DE: Do you hear that? The music, the band?
