SOUNDTRACK MEME



This is a BIT more goofy than the usual memes on this journal, BUT! I actually always find it SUPER HELPFUL when posting to have character/situation songs in mind, be it to set a mood, to make a scene work, or just to get me writing. Music has helped define some games for me! Finally, it's a fun way to discover new bands.

SO! Here's how it works

> Post with your character
> Other people comment with songs that remind them of that character (links to places you can listen = preferable. justification = optional)
> ???
> Profit!

I'm also going to put a GENERAL GAMES SONGS post at the top for posts that in general fit Save the Earth as a whole. Woooooo!

Oh, I was hoping you'd post. XD I've been collecting songs that remind me of Takako since I started playing Sasame. Particularly Takako/Sasame-y songs. I'm not sure how many of these are good for Tamara since a lot of them focus more on Takako-as-Fenrir but they might still be fun, IDK.

Also a lot of these are sort of similar in genre/tone so uhhh hopefully you don't hate sorta angsty female-fronted rock music.

Pretty Life - Jakalope
You could be the reason I love
You could be the reason I cry
You could, you could, you could, you could

I'm about to change your pretty mind
I'm about to change your pretty life

What You Want - Evanescence (I just listened to the lyrics closer today and realized I can see a lot of this could kinda fit how Sam and Tamara might end up like--I see parts of this as from her perspective and parts of this from his)
Do what you what you want
Till you find what you're looking for (Got to remember who you really are)

But every hour slipping by screams that I have failed you

Opheliac - Emilie Autumn (Emilie's sort of an acquired taste, so apologies if you don't like this much. Also, might want to turn your speakers down a bit for this one, there's some screaming in the chorus.)
You know how hard it can be
To keep believing in me
When everything and everyone
Becomes my enemy and when
There's nothing more you can do
I'm gonna blame it on you
It's not the way I want to be
I only hope that in the end you will see
It's the Opheliac in me

Rose Red - Emilie Autumn (Because I couldn't decide which "era" of her music I like better for Takako, so uh...both! Both is good. This one is much gentler than the first song so you might like this one better, idk.)
For this freedom
I have given all I had
For this darkness
I gave my light
For this wisdom
I have lost my innocence
Take my petals
And cover me with the night

Redeemed - Charlotte Martin (yaaay it's not a possibly grating rock song)
Every tree has got her root
And every girl forbidden fruit
And got her demons

And the path I chose to go
A different girl so long ago
I had my reasons

You know something funny? I actually did used to like that sort of music, well as long as it's not too loud. I actually do have a decent amount of Evanescence's first album in mp3 form and I see they haven't changed too much.

lol, yeah, not much. I don't follow the band much anymore but the song popped up on a Pandora station of mine today and that's when I actually listened to the lyrics and went "Oh, hey..."

[formermagicalgirl]

And your icon is making me giggle now.

But anyway, your list actually reminded me that a particular song that I used for a pairing with another character of mine actually is pretty fitting for Fenrir and Sasame as well.

Madonna - Frozen And I still find it hard to believe that Madonna does such lovely goth music as well.

Mission accomplished =Db

Ooh, that is good for them! I like it!
