Daily Entertainment: And I'm Back Edition!

[damncompass]

First of all, Milliways, I apologise. I have been in a horrid life-slump lately, but I think I'm finally pulling myself out of it. So, now that I have much more awareness of what's going on, I bring you Daily Entertainment again!

Music time! Do you have a song that you connect with your characters? What is it? Also, feel free to wander around and share songs that you associate with others' characters!

I'm glad you starting to pull yourself out of your life-slump. :-)

Like all the character classes in SWTOR, the Sith Inquisitor has their own theme. You can listen to it here. It's called 'Treachery', which is rather appropriate to their storyline. (Unfortunate for Ibani, that.)

Other than that, I don't really have music that I associate with my characters. But if someone would like to suggest some, I'm all ears!

Imagine Dragon's Demons comes to mind for Ibani.

*watches video on youtube* That does fit rather well! Thanks for mentioning it. :-)

[bjornwilde]

Welcome back! I hope life stops kicking you. =(

I have many play lists but I'll try and be brief.

Andrea: Some Nights by Fun. sums up her relationship with The Order of Merciful Aid, as does 21 Guns by Green Day. I also cannot hear P!nk's Raise Your Glass without thinking of a Bouda house party.

Quinlan: The Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel (though I use a heavy metal band's cover) or Rooster by Alice In Chains. The Foo Fighters' Walking After You is perfect for him and Khaleen.

Brimstone: The Jeweler by This Mortal Coil

Hank: Ashes and Wine by A Fine Frenzy (his life long feels for Raven) and What Are You Going to Do With Your Life? by Echo and the Bunnymen.

Mulan: Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Green Day, King and Lionheart by Of Monsters and Men, Is Your Love Strong Enough? by Bryan Ferry, and Lana Del Ray's cover of Once Upon A Dream.

Jessica: She actually has a theme song from her motion comic, Agent of Sword, Watch Your Step. I also like this mashup of Lana Del Ray, Beyoncé, and MIA, Girls, Girls, Girls.

And I'm stopping myself now.

Pam gets Maneater by Hall & Oates because it's really all I can think of whenever she wears her '80s outfits.

[bjornwilde]

How about Banannarama's Venus? Of Berlin's Sex (I'm a)? Or The B52s' Love Shack?

[lazy_but_loyal]

Those are all fitting! She can totally generate an entire '80s playlist.

Also Duran Duran's "Hungry Like the Wolf," but that would probably annoy her because wrong species.

[death_gone_mad]

Amascut gets Cliffhanger from the game's soundtrack even though I still am waffling on whether to add it to her playlist.

Dammit, the account that posted the song to youtube closed and took all the songs with it, so I can't link it. Damn this game's divided community to hell. There is a terrible "STOP LIKING THE THINGS I DON'T LIKE!!!!!" undercurrent to everything and... pah, just another reason to not play Runescape.

Um... I think I haven't played Fairy Fixit enough to pick out songs for her.

I'm gonna confine this one to songs with words, because I have way too many CDs of movie and game trailer music and I'll be here all day if I fall into that.

Gordon is connected with the Kenny Rogers song "The Gambler" and has literally been so since the very first OOM post in his journal.

Adrian is connected with the bluegrass cover of AC/DC's Back In Black and Ruthie Foster's version of Death Came A Knockin' (Travelin' Shoes).

Ellen gets Muse's City of Delusion and John Denver's When The River Meets The Sea.

Okay, I lied. Stacker Pentecost does not get one with words because Stacker gets Protectors of the Earth by Two Steps From Hell.

I do not have one for Varric, Medic, or Santo, although the best candidate for Santo is Ancient Battle, better known as the old series Star Trek fight music.

And while I haven't got a proper song association for him, for the past several days I have been desperately wanting to see Edward Kenway's reaction to Professional Pirate, from Muppet Treasure Island.

[the_cupbearer]

OMG, Travelin' Shoes is so perfect. Hearts. I play that aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall the time at blues. <3

I'm on-and-off working on an Onslaught-themed Rikki fanmix for my h/c bingo card. It doesn't have much and will probably have some adjusting, but here's what I have so far:

Steal home before sunset, cover up my tracks -
Drive home with old dreams at play in my mind and the wind at my back.
Break the lock on my own garden gate when I get home after dark,
Sit looking up at the stars outside like teeth in the mouth of a shark.
I used to live here.


Because a vision softly creeping left its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain still remains
Within the sound of silence.


Somedays aren't yours at all.
They come and go as if they're someone else's days,
They come and leave you behind someone else's face,
And it's harsher than yours
And it's colder than yours.

I'm not here - not anymore.


Exactly when the world is not expecting it,
Exactly when we're sure of ourselves.
That's exactly when the old gods return
And sweep our cities back into hell,
Forever, forever and ever and ever.

*hugs you* Life-slumps suck. I'm adding links to youtube videos.

I connect Will with No More from Into the Woods. It captures what I feel like is the unrelenting pain that's below the Robin Hood myth.

Charles is trickier since I don't have a particular song and I find that the soundtrack of X-Men: First Class is full of themes that click with him for me especially Rage and Serenity, the melding of Charles and Erik's themes gets me. I love this music. There are songs that work thanks to fanvids like the one with him and Make a Man out of You, which captures the way he teaches and hopes and pushes people.

I don't have anything for Ivan, but I'd love suggestions.

With William, I associate Valley of the Low Sun by Jakob Dylan, there's something about these people who are trying in a world that's not easy which fits his part of history. Oh and another one that's actually from his era, Hard Times Come Again No More, the link leads to it being performed by the amazing Mavis Staples. Also I love the soundtrack to 3:10 to Yuma and whenever I listen to, can picture the movie.

For Jane, its Once Upon a December from Anastasia, the link leads to a gorgeous Becoming Jane fanvid that captures why I love the movie.

I don't have a specific song for Moist but I always associate him with music from the 1920s, kind of like the theme song from Jeeves and Wooster.

Demeter's another one that I don't have anything in particular for as she can be so changeable.

Tumnus, I associate a silly and charming song Leaning on a Lamppost by Herman's Hermits due to the fanvid its connected to. I love how it shows a happy Tumnus who's always keeping an eye out for Lucy.

The Pirate King, hee, the music from Pirates of Penzance is a favorite of mine and partly why even though he's been quiet for a while, he's still there. It helps that he gets some of the best songs and the way Kevin Kline performs them always makes me grin. I am a Pirate King, With Cat-Like Tread and Paradox, though I recommend watching or listening to the entire operetta if you don't know it. Be warned, Gilbert and Sullivan wrote great ear worms.

[aberration]

I like using music and making playlists for writing/RPing, but I'm going to keep it to just a few for each here.

Asami - Electric Lady by Janelle Monáe; Contra by Moon Hooch; Hope On Fire by Vienna Teng

Katara - What the Water Gave Me by Florence + the Machine

Will - Bottom of the River by Delta Rae; Old Number Seven by The Devil Makes Three; Pretty Little Head by Eliza Rickman

Elle - Oh My God by Ida Maria; Grounds for Divorce by Elbow; Public Displays of Affection by Morcheeba

Marceline - Bad Girls by M.I.A.

Leslie - Home by Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeroes

Manny - My Boy Builds Coffins by Florence + the Machine

Hiccup - The HTTYD soundtrack is already a work of art, so here.

(And bonus, while messing around with Abigail Hobbs in sandboxes, I've been listening to Children's Work by Dessa.)

[hey35andholding]

Clementine: "Nobody's Girl" - Bonnie Raitt

Juliet: "She Works Hard for the Money" - Donna Summers

Dixie: File My Claim, of course

Pinkie: The Smile Song, of course. (TOMBSTONE REMIX)

Eponine: Little Fall of Rain (vs On My Own) (also invisible by Clay Aiken) (Because)
