Heh! Okay, what songs do you think go well with pairings? (We're also doing this in the Prince Lyude Club XD). Also what songs go well with a character, just by themselves?
"Because of You" goes with Savyna... In an AU! haha! It's like Shannath and Savy's mom are going through a divorce or something... But it could be why she's all quiet and stuff.
lyrics!
Because of You
I will not make the same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself cause my heart so much misery
I will not break the way you did
You fell so hard
I've learned the hard way, to never let it get that far
Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust
Not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid
I lose my way
And it's not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry
Because I know that's weakness in your eyes
I'm forced to fake, a smile, a laugh
Every day of my life
My heart can't possibly break
When it wasn't even whole to start with
Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust
Not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid
I watched you die
I heard you cry
Every night in your sleep
I was so young
You should have known better than to lean on me
You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain
And now I cry
In the middle of the night
For the same damn thing
Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don't get hurt
Because of you
I tried my hardest just to forget everything
Because of you
I don't know how to let anyone else in
Because of you
I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
Because of you
I am afraid
Because of you
Because of you
Oh! A Kalas/Xelha one! He's calling out to her, if you can call it that.
"Bring Me To Life"
http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=-dIf2SFLwdw
Ooh! Me likey this topic!
New Born by Muse - http://youtube.com/watch?v=FDDCieKfrvY&feature=related
The lyrics, to me, resemble Melodia's relationship with Malpercio (or vice versa would too, maybe). And the way the music starts soft and mysterious just to explode into this pounding rhythm is just like them, I think.
Actually, I think that most of Muse's stuff can be twisted to fit Baten Kaitos... Especially for Melodia and Kalas.
...So, are we supposed to post the lyrics also? ^_^' I'm just going to anyways, sorry for the wall of text...
"New Born"
Link it to the world
Link it to yourself
Stretch it like a birth squeeze
The love for what you hide
The bitterness inside
Is growing like the new born
When you've seen, seen
Too much, too young, young
Soulless is everywhere
Hopeless time to roam
The distance to your home
Fades away to nowhere
How much are you worth
You can't come down to earth
You're swelling up, you're unstoppable
'cause you've seen, seen
Too much, too young, young
Soulless is everywhere
Destroy the spineless
Show me it's real
Wasting our last chance
To come away
Just break the silence
'cause I'm drifting away
Away from you
Link it to the world
Link it to yourself
Stretch it like it's a birth squeeze
And the love for what you hide
And the bitterness inside
Is growing like the new born
When you've seen, seen
Too much, too young, young
Soulless is everywhere
Destroy the spineless
Show me it's real
Wasting their last chance
To come away
Just break the silence
'cause I'm drifting away
Away from you
Wow! Nice pick! ^^
Oh! We don't have to. You can put in the link of the lyric or music vid if you'd like.
Oh! And "Bring me To Life" can also be for Melodia as well. When Kalas is on the "dark-side", this is very appropriet. He's calling out 2 Xelha!
Here r the lyrics!
"Bring Me To Life"
How can you see into my eyes like open doors?
Leading you down into my core where I've become so numb,
Without a soul (without)
My spirit sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there and lead it back....home
(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I Can't Wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
Call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
Bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up)
Before I come undone
(Save me)
Save me from the nothing I've become
Now that I know what I'm without
You can't just leave me
Breathe~ into me and make me real
Bring me to life
(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I Can't Wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
Call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
Bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up)
Before I come undone
(Save me)
Save me from the nothing I've become
(Bring me to life)
I've been living a lie,there's nothing inside
(Bring me to life)
Frozen inside without your touch,
Without your love,darling
Only you are the life, among the dead
All this time I can't believe I couldn't see
Kept in the dark but you were there in front of me
I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems
Got to open my eyes to everything
Without a thought, without a voice, without a soul
Don't let me die here
There must be something more!
Bring me to life
(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I Can't Wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
Call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
Bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up)
Before I come undone
(Save me)
Save me from the nothing I've become
(Bring me to life)
I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside!
(Bring me to life.)
*groans at overused emo songs*
I want to use this for Xelha's AMV but I'm worried the sound is too strong for her, though I love the lyrics. Thoughts?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFGsldrZFRM
Once I had a dream
And this is it
Once there was a child`s dream
One night the clock struck twelve
The window open wide
Once there was a child`s heart
The age I learned to fly
And took a step outside
Once I knew all the tales
It`s time to turn back time
Follow the pale moonlight
Once I wished for this night
Faith brought me here
It`s time to cut the rope and fly
Fly to a dream
Far across the sea
All the burdens gone
Open the chest once more
Dark chest of wonders
Seen through the eyes
Of the one with pure heart
Once so long ago
The one in the Big Blue is what the world stole from me
This night will bring him back to me
Fly to a dream...
-looks up at posts-
... Haha! Yeah... we have a lot of emo songs up there!
Yes! Use it. It's like when she's in battle. Also her pressure for being Ice Queen and the Ocean in her. ^^ Wuv it!
You don't think it's too harsh-sounding? :D
(And Nightiwish isn't emo. at all. XD)
A tad bit, but use clips when she's in battle and in Wazn. ^^ MACHO GURL!!!! :D
Okay... I found something on Youtube which I thought really fitted Kalas's betrayal. Forgive me. It's Animorphs. haha! yeah! ... I have no life! XP (Don't worry! Little joke!) I found the book series at my temple. It was really good.
Oh! The song!
http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=AetdbJ7Mwv8
I don't know the lyrics though... I looked on line, and nada!
Well, there's the song which I thought REALLY fitted the spirit... but we're not suppost to talk about him/her! XD
the url, if you need it and are interested. The song is called "My Will" from the anime Inuyasha.
http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=iHRSYhHZAkw
Oh! and for the Imperial Soliders and Knights of Diadem tribute song! Yah! ^^
"Rakuen"... from Inuyasha... Again! XD It's in Spainis/Japanese sub... but the lyrics are on-line!
http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=z7tuL94aghs
Oh! I found more songs! This is for BK-tashi (the whole group). It sounds like a tribute song to them. ^^
"Fukai Mori" ... Don't ask if it came from an anime or not! XD
http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=Ab4LoA9DmZM&feature=related
lyrics!!!
http://www.animelyrics.com/anime/inuyasha/fukaimori.htm
This is from Fruits Basket. ^^ Another BK-tashi tribute.
http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=toBLjFQAY8s
Haha, no, I was wondering because the FMA fandom uses Mustang-tachi.
Oh! What about "Breakaway"! It so fits Sagi, especially the wings! ^^
Grew up in a small town
And when the rain would fall down
I'd just stare out my window
Dreaming of what could be
And if I'd end up happy
I would pray (I would pray)
Trying hard to reach out
But when I tried to speak out
Felt like no one could hear me
Wanted to belong here
But something felt so wrong here
So I prayed I could break away
[Chorus:]
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes til' I touch the sky
And I'll make a wish
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I love
I'll take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Wanna feel the warm breeze
Sleep under a palm tree
Feel the rush of the ocean
Get onboard a fast train
Travel on a jet plane, far away (I will)
And breakaway
[Chorus]
Buildings with a hundred floors
Swinging around revolving doors
Maybe I don't know where they'll take me but
Gotta keep moving on, moving on
Fly away, breakaway
I'll spread my wings
And I'll learn how to fly
Though it's not easy to tell you goodbye
I gotta take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget the place I come from
I gotta take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway, breakaway, breakaway
Haha, that is a little creepy. Not as much as the one Kalas/Xelha one, though, with the whole whale thing. XDD
Oh! This reminded me of Milly, but her themesong should probably be more kickass. Though I do see this being her type of music to listen to. XD
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dy9q2kToG6c
Like a shooting star
Across the midnight sky
Wherever you are
You're gonna see me fly
Like a shooting star
Across the midnight sky
Wherever you are
You're gonna see me fly!
Across the midnight sky~!
Where were you to hold my hand
Do the things that we had planned
Yes, I need you by my side
When things go crazy
I just need to know you care
Guaranteed that you'll be there
When I wake up in the night
Will you be my guiding light?
I don't care how far
I'll take a plane tonight
Just tell me where you are
And everything's gonna be alright
Like a shooting star
Across the midnight sky
Gonna fly
Just to be with you tonight
Like a shooting star
Across the midnight sky
Gonna fly
Just to be with you tonight
^^ Great pick! It so fits Milly's determination.
Oh, and what was so creepy about "Breakaway"? Here's the link if you want to listen to the song! ^^
http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=Jk4AF0YNMRI
I don't have too many for Baten Kaitos pairings, or characters for that matter, but I'll bring one up for now.
The song is "Rise" from the anime Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: Second GIG. Though it doesn't fit exactly, I think it suites Savyna well. She's know battle all her life, but now (well, during Eternal Wings anyway) she has a real reason to fight. Note that the song itself is in Russian and English, but I only provide the English translation here for space sake.
I'm a soldier, meaning that I'm
Both the defendent and the judge
I'm standing on both sides of the fire
Going around turns, overtaking death and life
I'm running to fight with the shadow of a lie
No matter how many threads deception would weave
Truth will show its face of light
*Save your tears
for the day
when our pain is far behind
on your feet
come with me
we are soldiers stand or die
Save your fears
take your place
save them for the judgement day
fast and free
follow me
time to make the sacrifice
we rise or fall
I'm a soldier, born to stand
in this waking hell I am
witnessing more than I can compute
pray myself we don't forget
lies, betrayed and the oppressed
please give me the strength to be the truth
people facing the fire together
if we don't, we'll lose all we have found
*repeat
After a dream to the edge of a chasm
Only that way can the world be saved
Don't you cry,
Hide the tears,
Because a new day will start
Your fire
Will be heated
By thousands of hearts
But now get up
Hide the pain and fear far
The one who's right will win
Know that everything is in your hands
*repeat
-stands in awe-
Wow! Nice one Strawberry! ^^
I was wondering, but do you guys think this song fits the whole group? It goes:
No turning back
No backing down
Nowhere to run
No solid ground
No place to hide
No one to trust
No one to help you when your lost
There's only us
It's all in your hands
Hold on
Hold back the darkness
Got to take a stand
It's all in your hands
Personally, this song ROCKS! ^^ To me, it's BK-tachi trying to be strong when they are alone.
oh! and here's Le Ali Del Principio! The music to the game. ^^
http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=CiGmbmNIFFs
Hm, that first song you posted after me could really apply to any number of games and series, you know? It's still good though. What's the title, anyway?
I only have one more song, and it doesn't actually apply to the game itself, but to a fanfic. However, it is related to a pairing, so I'll bring it up anyway.
The song is called "Song of Mana", the ending theme to the PS1 game Legend of Mana. The fic is none other than Fan's Sincerly Yours, specifically chapter 41 (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3771617/41/Sincerely_Yours). I brought it up in a review, but I'll actually provide the lyrics and such here. I won't give any detail in explaining how or why, as it would be a serious spoiler to anyone who hasn't read or hasn't finished reading it (I think most of us who come to these forums often did, but there may be a passing lurker or two). Really though, just look over the lyrics: it really does fit Kalas's thoughts, feelings and actions during that chapter. For a better comparison, replace "nostalgic song" in the song with "old letter". ;)
Again, I am only providing the translated lyrics. Odd as it may sound, "Song of Mana" is entirely in Swedish.
Song of Mana
I heard
A nostalgic song
somewhere far away
It stirred deep within my heart,
A young strength
Spoke of the song of life
I am born from you,
And I returned
Embedded in a song, both kind and cruel
My life took a turn
I am born anew
Hurrying, to be close to you
Again and again, I long for you
I am hurrying to be with you
Again and again, I long for you
My longing is no diamond
(Just a small crystal)
A grain of sand in the desert,
One drop in the ocean
But with pride, I come
Seasons come and go
And I follow the same tracks
All I want is to sleep,
Embraced in your song
All I want is to wait,
Curl up in a dream
I am following my longing for you
I was riding on a wind,
Your song ecchoing far
Thrown by waves, I am surging torwards you
Young energy (A nostalgic song)
I'm keeping your smile so close to my heart
And I continue my journey
The time is short, and I must hurry
Thought that I was free,
Free from the past
But many-colored memories
Blooming deep inside of me
Finally, finally I reach you
Hear my truth and behold my dream
My beautiful dream
Seasons come and go
And I follow the same tracks
Thought that I was free,
Free from the past
But many-colored memories
Blooming deep inside of me
Finally, finally
I reach
And becuase this is such a gorgeous song, I'll provide a video link, too: http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=mt3BK9MTLTI
It's called "All in Your Hands". It's actually a theme song for a TV series called "Animorphs". Link! Link! ^^
http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=0IfboJUVBI8
Personally, I think "Animorphs" is cool! haha... haha...
Nice one! It was so beautiful. ^^
I can't seem to get this song out of my head, but I think it fits Xelha VERY well. "So Much For My Happy Ending", by Avril Lavigne.
So much for my happy ending
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...
Let's talk this over
It's not like we're dead
Was it something I did?
Was it something You said?
Don't leave me hanging
In a city so dead
Held up so high
On such a breakable thread
You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be
[Chorus:]
You were everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
And all of the memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...
You've got your dumb friends
I know what they say
They tell you I'm difficult
But so are they
But they don't know me
Do they even know you?
All the things you hide from me
All the shit that you do [CD version]
All the stuff that you do [radio edited version]
You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be
[Chorus]
It's nice to know that you were there
Thanks for acting like you cared
And making me feel like I was the only one
It's nice to know we had it all
Thanks for watching as I fall
And letting me know we were done
[Chorus x2]
[x2]
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...
So much for my happy ending
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...
Haha, Animorphs? Man, I never got to see the TV show, but they were my favorite boks in 2nd-4th grade. Reminds me, I wanted to look for those episodes on Youtube. *runs off*
TOBIASxRACHEL FTW! HAWK-BOY ROCKS SO HARD.
Though I swear he had a crush on Jake in the begining. XD Though Jake is honestly the most boring character. Okay, scratch that, Cassie is. Except for the one book with the Yeerk-human symbiosis. She was cool in that.
For anyone who hasn't read the books, read #1-40 IN ORDER, then stop and read all the sidestories. Then continue and read everything but the LAST CHAPTER.
Trust me, it will piss you off, because it changes the ending so that the story has NO closure.
Animorphs rant done.
Hehe! ^^
I like RachelXTobias. They're so sweet together! ^^
I tried to read all the books, but then I thought, "what the heck! I'll just watch the episodes on-line!" XD
Oh! Link 4 "So Much For My Happy Ending". ^^
http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=stSzwhtt_tY
They didn't finish the TV series, did they? It gets really, really gory once it becomes open warfare. o_O
And bleh, I watched the first episode and wasn't happy with it. Marco is NOT a Hispanic gangster, he speaks -some- Spanish, which lets them understand a bit of Portugese in the Sario rip. And he's more sarcastic than they show. And his battle morph isn't a WOLF, that's Cassie! And TOBIAS was the first morph, he morphed his cat. While Jake was there. And since he wasn't wearing tight clothes, he was naked when he came back. That was SO great. XD The show never even alludes to the fact that they can only morph really tight clothing, and not shoes at all.
Gaaah. And I was really looking forward to seeing Elfanfor, but they just did a lame puppet effect. We didn't see his whole body. Gaah. Although his descent and the scenery was exactly how I imagined it.
RachelxTobias is more depressing in the books. From what I see, the books are darker. o_o Does the series go into Tobias' past and why he has no parents? I though that was really cool.
Funny, the first time I read the books I was 9-10, and totally missed a lot of the Rachel/Tobias. never particularly liked the guy, I liked Rachel and Jake. Reread a few and looked back, Tobias replaced Jake as my favorite male character. Though Marco is interesting once you realize why he's the way he is.
JakexCassie annoys me, though. A lot. Did the show get to Erek? He was the only character that made me want to laugh and punch him at the same time. Him and the Ellmist. Wait, did Tobias still re-Aquire his human form the in show? Yeah, he must have, because I saw a MV with clips with them dancing... which never happens in the books as far as I recall. Though they also apparently dated, and I don't remember that either.
Then again, I'm not certain which books I read, because they were from the library and therefore not always in order. I remember specifically that The Sickness was my favorite. Lawl, woozy Ax and Cassie with a scalpel.

"Away from the Sun" by Three Doors Down It's down to this I've got to make this life make sense Can anyone tell what I've done I miss the life I miss the colors of the world Can anyone tell where I am Cause now again I've found myself so far down Away from the sun that shines into the darkest place I'm so far down away from the sun again Away from the sun again I'm over this I'm tired of livin' in the dark Can anyone see me down here The feeling's gone There's nothing left to lift me up Back into the world I know And now again I've found myself so far down Away from the sun that shines into the darkest place I'm so far down away from the sun That shines to light the way for me to find my way back into the arms That care about the ones like me I'm so far down away from the sun again It's down to this I've got to make this life make sense And now I can't tell what I've done And now again I've found myself so far down Away from the sun that shines to light the way for me And now again I've found myself so far down Away from the sun that shines into the darkest place I'm so far down away from the sun That shines to light the way for me to find my way back into the arms That care about the ones like me I'm so far down away from the sun again
Kalas:
"Taiyou no Mannaka e" [To the Center of the Sun] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phXjTww_Sjw] Someone's shouting, boasting, "Come on now!" The weathervane is telling me where he is, In the middle of this hill where I sat back, "It'll be great if I could fly to the sky," I muttered. Never-ending dreams and the present with an end, The days I do not forget, the days I want to forget. "From the desolation of losing more and more things I have become more carefree", am I able to laugh about it? I wanna fly away. I have noticed, that my faults and regrets have become wings. Throughout my body I feel the wind and spread my arms , I can fly away To the center of the sun, I could probably fly right now, Escaping from the sad night, I can fly even further. I can fly away. I kick away the birdcage, An instant's impulse is an eternity's upheaval. When I fly away from that place, look at me! Even repeating mistakes become the light of progress, Even with tattered wings, it's alright to fly your way, I can fly away. To the center of the sun, I can fly away.
Savyna: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hC8t3vGnMu8]
"Stare at the Sun" by Thrice I sit here clutching useless lists, Keys for doors that don't exist, I crack my teeth on pearls. Tear into the history, Show me what it means to me, In this world, yeah, in this world. 'Cause I am due for a miracle, I'm waiting for a sign. I stare straight into the sun, And I won't close my eyes, 'till I understand or go blind. I see the parts but not the whole, Study saints and scholars both, But no perfect plan unfurls. Do I trust my heart or just my mind? Why is truth so hard to find in this world? Yeah, in this world. Cause I am due for a miracle, I'm waiting for a sign. I stare straight into the sun, And I wont close my eyes, 'till I understand or go blind. I know that there's a point I missed, A shrine or stone I haven't kissed, A scar that never graced my wrist, A mirror that hasn't met my fist, But I can't help feeling like... I'm due for a miracle, I'm waiting for a sign. I stare straight into the sun, And I wont close my eyes, Due for a miracle, Waiting for a sign. I'll stare straight into the sun, And I won't close my eyes...

"Tsuki to Taiyou no Meguri" [Joining of the Sun and Moon] [no link that I found] If my life is a sad story, then embrace me. Even if my life in general is a fragment, Today, my secret fear begins in the sky. As I stop, the red moon secretly appears, It begins to cut through the eastern sky, About this time, the red moon will surely rise . The same dream, the same memory... ah! We share the same wind. The only thing that is different is the peace... and the joining of the sun and moon! If this is the end, the long stream of life shakes and sways, Even if this is the end... if I am with you, it's okay. At any time, this gentle voice will be heard, If the reason for your sadness is death, then why do your tears flow? The same dream, the same memory... ah! We share the same wind, The only thing that is different is the peace... and the joining of the sun and moon! Dance... our memories are a song; keep on moving, You are good! Wish... surely, tomorrow will be sunny.
