Character Soundtrack Meme

[neighfeni]

Hello all!

Do you have a song that when you listen to it, it just makes you think of your character, or someone else's? Maybe it's because of the lyrics, or a piece from their canon, or maybe it's something totally different. Or perhaps it's something they might listen to!

Whatever it is, it's time to share your music. Feel free to write down what makes you think about that character, if it's a certain part of the lyrics or just because. Heck, even share that music that's just buzzing around in your head regarding your character because it makes you think about scenes you're rearing to play out or have played out. Or there's really no good reason to be connecting that song to your character, but you just do. And there's no stopping you.

But this is MLJ, and music is part of the world, so it doesn't have to be just your character! Post around to others with what you think of with their characters, or even the game itself!

In short:
- Post your character(s) to the meme
- If you have music you associate with them, stick it on in there! Elaborate!
- Post around to others! Feel free to elaborate why!
- Please, if you think it might be problematic, stick a TW or CW behind it. Remember, PG-13!
- ????
- Profit! And, most importantly, have fun!

Of note: Dreamwidth is stupid and doesn't let you embed vids in comments, so link 'em!

The Game/Setting

[neighfeni]

Got music you associate with the game? Or maybe with an event? Stick it here!

[like_a_dragon]

"We Will All Go Together When We Go" by Tom Lehrer -- Do I need to explain why?

The Doctor

[trustme]

Haha I'm starting this off with a sad song for Doctor. (⊙︿⊙✿)

"The Scientist" by Coldplay reminds me of him and the relationships he has with his companions which end either because he outlives them or because of other tragic reasons every time darn it! This is for him and his many sunken ships. Doctor hates goodbyes. Also he literally could "go back to start" since he's a time traveler.

[terraburning]

This here is Terra's Theme, which is also the Overworld music for the first half of the game. It's a combination of flute and piano, and it always feel serene and a little bit haunting to me.

Wanderer of Time is an official remix that includes vocals - translated, they go like so:

Crossing the distant night,
Wandering the desert sea.

The gods' voices are mirages;
The forgotten people.

Shadows flicker palely, then stand;
For one moment, an illusion.

A hero's dream, burning blue,
The people, sleeping forever.

Pippin Took

[tookalevelinbadass]

Pippin goes with awesome LotR soundtracks! Ｏ(≧∇≦)Ｏ

I've all ready had him perform the song most fans associate with him. "Edge of Night" which he sings in Return of the King. Fun fact, the lyrics of this song are based on one of Bilbo's poems in the books and Billy Boyd made the melody and chose the lyrics for the version in the movie. Also, Billy Boyd has a band in real life.

Naturally, the soundtrack "Concerning Hobbits" goes with Pippin as it does with all hobbits. I think the piece does wonderfully capturing the personality of The Shire and the charm of the hobbit race.

Finally, I have to mention this silly song/video because Pippin was one of the two hobbits taken away to Isengard.

Littlepip | Fallout: Equestria

[mostcolorfulepithets]

I've heard that some people consider Wasteland Wailers to be the theme for Littlepip. But I consider Until we Die by Escape the Fate to be more fitting, if only lyrically fitting. Plus it's her wrestling theme.

But if any of you have any other suggestions, let me know.

Mami Tomoe | Puella Magi Madoka Magica

[bustadecapinyoass]

Credens Justitium (Believing in Justice) is Mami's canon theme song. Any other suggestions are welcome.

Fluttershy & Fluttercruel | Pony POV

[shy_kindness]

I have no idea hat songs The Flutters could have.

[like_a_dragon]

Howzzabout

For Fluttershy:

"A Smile and a Song" by Adrianna Caselotti because it is a CLASSIC Disney princess song.

and

"You're My First, My Last, My Everything" by Barry White because it's a good sentiment and reflects Fluttershy's commitment to her animals.

EDIT "Ai no Uta (English version)" from Pikmin, as performed by SuriOokami the original (in Japanese) and the French version are canon, but this is really good version in English and definitely fits Flutter to a T.

and For Fluttercruel

"Chop Suey" by System of a Down because it really seems to encompass her mentality of life? Though ngl, this was pretty much the first thing that came to mind

Coco Pommel

[shyformerassistant]

I'll likely update this as I find more songs since I suck at picking songs for characters.

"I'm Still Standing" by Elton John - You could say it's a song that Coco would sing to her strict parents due to the fact that she's gotten stronger since she gained independence from them. (Granted, she would try to make peace with them first due to that dream thanks to Woona, but it's unlikely she will be able to succeed there).

Trixie Lulamoon | My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

[cape_and_wizard_hat]

I don't have any ideas for Trixie, either. Any suggestions are welcome.

[like_a_dragon]

Uhh....

Okay, I'm shooting from the hip, here:

"Do You Believe in Magic" by The Lovin' Spoonful?

alternatively...

"I Wanna Talk About Me" by Toby Keith

Wally West / Kid Flash / Wondrous Bolt

[selfmadespeedster]

Two songs come to mind for Wally.

"You're Gonna Go Far, Kid" by the Offspring. (Warning this one has language in it.) This one's lyrics go nicely with the whole superhero secret ID and fighting part of his life. It doesn't hurt that he's called "Kid" or that lighting is associated with the Flash powers either.

The other song is "Speed of Sound" by Coldplay. I blame a music video for this one. This one goes with one of the challenges Wally faces in the Young Justice series. Wally has trouble accepting the existence of magic because he doesn't like the idea of things he can't explain with logic or can't control. When he realizes that sometimes a leap of faith is needed or that in the bigger picture his ego shouldn't be his priority, he starts to mature. So you could say it's a song to go with his growth. (Also hello this personal struggle is part of the reason I sent him to My Little Jamjar specifically.)

Miles "Tails" Prower | Sonic the Hedgehog (DDD CRAU)

[ponymechanic]

Had to add the character song from Adventure 1 - 'Nuff said.

I was playing Persona 4 Arena the other day and I got to thinking about what Tails' theme would sound like. While I haven't found the perfect one, here's one that both Tails' theme might sound like as well as his shadows' if we're going Ultimax route.

Sonic Colors Boss Theme - Tails

Sonic Adventure 2 Boss Theme - Shadow Tails

But other than those, any more suggestions would be good. Especially since I'm still looking for a song that fits how sometimes Tails goes through a lot of hardship and losing friends, as well as self confidence/self-esteem issues.

[like_a_dragon]

How about...

"I'm Gonna Be" by The Proclaimers because it represents his commitment to everything?

(also it gets better again)

Patchouli Knowledge

[weekwizard]

I'll be honest, I'm horrible with these. Patchy has her theme, but apart from that, I have no idea how these things work.

Dandy | Space☆Dandy

[adandyinspace]

Space Dandy has a huge soundtrack, and I'm lazy as hell so I'll only be linking my favorites.

Viva Namida is just a given.

Welcome to the X Dimension is really cute. The video plays it twice.

Dandy sing the song and then sets himself on fire.

ZEN-LA-ROCK

For your sad mood setting needs, there's I should be...

Ogre You Asshole

[toosmarttodie]

I heard this before but ever since the Dandy promo played I can't help but think Dandy

Marty McFly | Back to the Future

[thepoweroflove]

Well there's Marty's username, first of all, and really anything from Huey Lewis works, but I am honestly really terrible at picking character soundtracks help.

[poolicide]

King Of the Streets-Lazerhawk

Born Under Punches (the Heat Goes on)-Talking Heads

sound eighties enough for you?

K/Teds ship

Cameron Frye | Ferris Bueller

[poolicide]

Woah ho ho I can't believe how eighties this is

This Must Be the Place aka Cameron's icon keywords

Someone Great cause why not a song about inadequacies?

Always Crashing in the Same Car hahaha

Oh Yeah ....nothing further said

But I'm open to other songs

Re: Cameron Frye | Ferris Bueller

[ponymechanic]

Well the eighties and nineties had some of the best songs ever.

Brainstorm | Transformers

[toosmarttodie]

Weird Science

It Only Makes Me Laugh

clearly I need more modern stuff

Chie Satonaka | Persona 4/Persona 4 Ultimax

[like_a_dragon]

Funny, I was just making a list of songs today

Let's get the canon ones out of the way first!

"Like The Dragon" from Persona 4 Arena -- Her Persona 4 theme! Gotta eat fast!

"I'll Face Myself" from Persona 4 -- Really, this song can fit anybody who faced their Shadow. It's the anthem that challenges these people to reflect on the part of themselves that they don't like, and Chie is no exception.

"Backside of the TV" -- While technically a theme for the TV world, Shadow Chie was given this theme for Persona 4 Ultimax. So now it's hers. :>

OTHER STUFF

"You Always Make Me Happy!" from Ragnarok Odyssey ACE - A super cute and high-energy song. Fits Chie's personality well.

"Turn it Up!" from Code of Princess - A high-octane battle anthem that is a good representation of Chie's fighting spirit! WAH-TAH!


"約束(黄昏の丘)" which Google Translates to "(Hills of Twilight) Promise" from Atelier Escha and Logy - Because even spunky kung fu girls get sad

"Everybody Was Kung Fu Fighting" by Carl Douglas - If you don't know why, you need to tag Chie sometime ;3

Teddie | Persona 4

[kingofthetvworld]

Teddie's Arena theme does a really good job getting his character down. And now you can enjoy it for over half an hour!

Backside of the TV Well, I mean, it is his home. Also an extended version.

That's where the canon songs end, now for the other stuff:

Stardust - Mika

Anything I'm Not - Lenka

Monster - Imagine Dragons

A Real Hero - College & Electric Youth

Animal - Miike Snow

Shooting Star - Owl City

New Soul - Yael Naim

Aaaaand Paul already linked all my shipping songs, so there you go.

Yg'baladoth

[controledfreak]

Since a lot of Yg'baladoth is still a mystery, I'll just go ahead and post the songs without any explanation (unless poked, I guess).

Also surprise: I have more music for her than almost any other character I've played.

"Pathetic (On Violin and Piano" from Eternal Poison

"Castle Zvhal" from Final Fantasy XI

"Ygg Ex Machina" from Ragnarok Odyssey ACE

"Thage's Theme" from Eternal Poison

"Shapeshifter Morpheus" from Eternal Poison

"Ruined Hallways" from Eternal Poison

"Grim Reaper" from Vindictus

...and to change it up...

"Depth (Selfmade Song)" by Sasukeshika

"Shevat, The Wind is Calling" from Xenogears

"Dear (Music Box Version)" from Vocaloid, originally made by 19's Sound Factor

Dame Rarity

[weaponizedgems]

Honestly? Could use some suggestions for Dame Rarity x.x

Harvey Finevoice

[millionbitpipes]

I'm just gonna skip right on over anything I've actually got audio of him singing and also all Frank Sinatra, because that's just cheating.

"Absinthe Makes the Heart Grow Fonder" by Jason Webley

"A Sadness Runs Through Him" by The Hoosiers

"All Alright" by FUN.

If anyone has any suggestions that AREN'T depressing, that might make for an interesting change. 9.9

[stormbroken]

Is it bad now that I forever link Fairytale Of New York to Flare/Harvey? It's not exactly depressing, though it definitely swings back and forth out of bittersweet.
