Songs for our characters!

[theonewhostoodup]

Just a bit of fun, here!

Imitating the success of a similar thread I recall, I thought I'd ask everyone to tell the community what song reminds them of their own characters or others. It can be the lyrics, or even just the feel/sound of the song.

So, think hard! What song do you think sings of a character of yours or another player's.

I'll kick it off with one for a character which isn't mine, and two for mine.

Firstly, for Haylin, the lyric-less Still Reprise by Hans Zimmer, for the Black Hawk Down Soundtrack has a kind of subdued, proud yet melancholy feel to it which would fit Haylin perfectly, were he staring out his inn window in a moment of thought.

For Warfish, two songs have a sound and feel which match Mr. Fish perfectly. The lyrics are what really wins it, though. Both really capture what 'Fish's mentality is all about.

First, there's Steely Dan's Fire in the Hole:

I decline
To walk the line
They tell me that I'm lazy
Worldly wise
I realize
That everybody's crazy
A woman's voice reminds me
To serve and not to speak
Am I myself or just another freak

You know
There's fire in the hole
And nothing left to burn
I'd like to run out now
There's nowhere left to turn

With a cough
I shake it off
And work around my yellow stripe
Should I hide
And eat my pride
Or wait until it's good and ripe
My life is boiling over
It's happened once before
I wish someone would open up the door

Don't you know
There's fire in the hole
And nothing left to burn
I'd like to run out now
There's nowhere left to turn

---------

After that, there's the legendary Ace of Spades by Motorhead, which may as well be sung by Fish himself!

If you like to gamble, I tell you I'm your man,
You win some, lose some, it's all the same to me,
The pleasure is to play, makes no difference what you say,
I don't share your greed, the only card I need is
The Ace Of Spades, the Ace of Spades

Playing for the high one, dancing with the devil,
Going with the flow, it's all a game to me,
Seven or Eleven, snake eyes watching you,
Double up or quit, double stake or split,
The Ace Of Spades, the Ace of Spades

You know I'm born to lose, and gambling's for fools,
But that's the way I like it baby,
I don't wanna live forever,
And don't forget the joker!

Pushing up the ante, I know you gotta see me,
Read 'em and weep, the dead man's hand again,
I see it in your eyes, take one look and die,
The only thing you see, you know it's gonna be,
The Ace Of Spades

The first two songs that came to mind for Lydia were

My lovin' (You're Never Gonna Get It) by En Vogue

and

I Touch Myself by The Divinyls

Another one would be

Mouth by Merril Bainbridge

Lydia has intimacy issues. :-P

Slithe, Disciple of Baalzebul:

Nine Inch Nails - Heresy

he sewed his eyes shut
because he is afraid to see
he tries to tell me
what i put inside of me
he's got the answers
to ease my curiosity
he dreamed a god up
and called it christianity

god is dead
and no one cares
if there is a hell
i'll see you there

he flexed his muscles
to keep his flock of sheep in line
he made a virus
that would kill off all the swine
his perfect kingdom
of killing, suffering and pain
demands devotion
atrocities done in his name

god is dead
and no one cares
if there is a hell
i'll see you there
your god is dead
and no one cares
if there is a hell
i'll see you there
god is dead
and no one cares
if there is a hell
i'll see you there
god is dead
and no one cares
drowning in his own hypocrisy
and if there is a hell
i'll see you see you there

burning with your god in humility
will you die for this?



Seviira, Follower of Shar:

Nine Inch Nails - The Wretched

just a reflection
just a glimpse
just a little reminder
of all the what abouts
and all the might have
could have beens

another day
some other way
but not another reason to continue
and now you're one of us
the wretched

the hopes and prays
the better days
the far aways
forget it

it didn't turn out the way you wanted it to
it didn't turn out the way you wanted it to, did it?
it didn't turn out the way you wanted it to
it didn't turn out the way you wanted it to, did it?

now you know
this is what it feels like
now you know
this is what it feels like

the clouds will part and the sky cracks open
and god himself will reach his *bleep-itty-bleep*ing arm through
just to push you down
just to hold you down

stuck in this hole with the *bleep* and the piss
and it's hard to believe it could come down to thisback at the beginning
sinking
spinning

and in the end
we still pretend
the time we spend
not knowing when
you're finally free
and you could be

but it didn't turn out the way you wanted it to
it didn't turn out quite the way that you wanted it

now you know
this is what it feels like
now you know
this is what it feels like

you can try to stop it but it keeps on coming
you can try to stop it but



Melkroth Malice, Palemaster of Velsharoon:

Bauhaus - Bela Lugosi's Dead

White on white translucent black capes
back on the rack

Bela Lugosi's dead

The bats have left the bell tower
The victims have been bled
Red velvet lines
the black box

Bela Lugosi's dead

Undead undead undead

The virginal brides file past his tomb
Strewn with time's dead flowers
Bereft in deathly bloom
Alone in a darkened room
The count

Bela Logosi's dead

Undead undead undead

[heimdall]

Sounds like someone's characters need a hug!

I found one for Vind

Its a country song by some guy...i dont listen to much country but this one has a good ring to it. Its called drinking bone


"Well it's Friday evenin' six o'clock
And all my friends are twistin' off
I'm at the house just turnin' on T.V.
And they all wonder why I've changed
How many times must I explain
It's basic honky tonk anatomy

The drinkin' bone is connected to the party bone
The party bone's connected to the stayin' out all night long
And she won't think it's funny
And I'll wind up all alone
And the lonely bone's connected to the drinkin' bone

Hey two plus two is always four
And down is south and up is north
Thirty-two degrees is freezing cold and,
You play with fire you wind up burned
The early-bird gets the worm
But the only thing you really need to know
Is...



The drinkin' bone is connected to the party bone
The party bone's connected to the stayin' out all night long
And she won't think it's funny
And I'll wind up all alone
And the lonely bone's connected to the drinkin' bone

Hey sing it with me
Let's make sure you know....

The drinkin' bone is connected to the party bone
The party bone's connected tot he stayin' out all ngiht long
And she won't think it's funny
And I'll wind up all alone
And the lonely bone's connected the the....

The drinkin' bone is connected to the party bone
The party bone's connected to the stayin' out all night long
And she won't think it's funny
And I'll wind up all alone
And the lonely bone's connected to the drinkin' bone "

I have to put my two coppers in on this. (like i do on everything else.)
Guldar Caverholme would hafta be Drunk Again by Reel Big Fish which is a good song about ummmm, well, beer. There is also a song called No beer in Heaven(that is why we drink it all here), an old Irish drinking song that reminds me of him.
Punk Rockgirl by the Dead Milkmen, that is so Valla. And there is a song called by Stephen Lynch that reminds me of a certain player whose main guy is a druid with mutton chops. Though Padrin himself reminds me of an old Jimmy Cliff song but i cannot remember the name of it. Oh, and for Ranan, i think the song by Lustra called Scotty Doesnt know would be perfect for him.

[Aodhan the Unusual]

Lesse... Probably AC/DC's Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap for Torian.

Son'ya song is easy one...most of you heard it from me over X-mas but...

band: Battle lore

album: Where the shadows lie

song is: The Green Maid

Green shades of the elven wood
Covers her face so pale
Those eyes like a stars in the night
Her hair like a golden flame
Gods of wisdom and fortune
Have blessed her with their gifts
no earthly creature can ever reach
A beauty like hers
Young elven knights come to her
There's so much love to share
But still she's awaiting the one
The one with a mortal way

They meet in the shadows
No eyes will see their embrace
Again she's awaiting he to come
She's so desperate her heart can't lay

The evil has lurked in the realm
Dark creatures have come with the death
When black blade reaches her heart
And all the life is gone
He has lost his everything
Pain and agony, that's all left now on
Way of the fate is cruel
Through tears he curses his gods

With grief he left those woods
His sorrow turns to hate
By his blood he swears the oath
He will fight it's never too late

All his sacrifices
Can't be for nothing
Way of the sword
Is the price they'll have to pay
Her endless beauty
Stays forever in his heart
Her soul now in Mandos
But his love will never be gone

[breckis]

Well... I haven't given much thought to anything else... but I like to think that Vorta fits this bill... if not a few others... fits a back story few people know about.

Reluctantly crouched at the starting line
Engines pumping and thumping in time
The green light flashes, the flags go up
Churning and burning they yearn for the cup

They deftly manuver and muscle for rank
Fuels burning fast on an empty tank
Reckless and wild, they pour through the turns
Their prowess is potent and secretly stern

As they speed through the finish, the flags go down
The fans get up and they get out of town
The arena is empty except for one man
Still driving and striving as fast as he can

The sun has gone down and the moon has come up
Not long ago somebody left with the cup
But he's driving and striving an hugging the turns
And thinking of someone for who he still burns

He's going the distance
He's going for speed
She's all alone, all alone, all alone in a time of need

Because he's racing and pacing and plotting the course
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse
He's going the distance

No trophies, no flowers, no flashbulbs, no lime
He's haunted by something he cannot define
Bowel shaking earthquakes of doubt and remorse
Assail him and bail him with monster truck force

In his mind he's still driving, still making the grade
She's hoping in time that her memories will fade
'Cause he's racing and pacing and plotting the course
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse

The sun has gone down and the moon has come up
Not long ago somebody left with the cup
But he's striving and driving and hugging the turns
And thinking of someone for who he still burns

'Cause he's going the distance,
He's going for speed
She's all alone
All alone
All alone
In a time of need

Because he's racing and pacing and plotting the course
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse
He's racing and pacing and plotting the course
He's fighting and biting and ridding on his horse
He's going the distance
He's going for speed
He's going the distance
