Songs you associate with fictional characters

Several of Watsky's songs remind me of Sans, but especially this one:

Spoiler: relevant lyrics

I know I'm often told
That there's a pot of gold
But I don't see a fucking rainbow and my coffee's cold
I know I should be grateful
I know I'm good and able
But I don't have the strength to get up from the kitchen table
This kind of shot comes once
Another opportunity of a lifetime just slipped away
And that's the fifth this month
But when you take a punch
Don't you ever forget
Why you get up and you put one foot in front of the next

...


Spent a half an hour
Sitting at the bottom of my shower
Letting the water run over my body and dammit I wanted to get up but I didn't have the power
I don't have the answer anyway
Don't want to panic but I got to come clean
Because the plan of the planet is just mean
Knew it was tough, but dammit it's obscene
I been huffing and puffing up to the top of the summit and I'mma rough it if I have enough steam

 

Several times people have posted things in the Radiant Historia tag involving fanmixes, and every time I've anonymously messaged them this song:

It's spot-on enough that I don't need to do anything more than that.

 

@LadyNighteyes have not played the games but I fucking love Thou Shalt Not, so I may need to investigate further :D

 

The particular character is a late-game spoiler, but I imagine anyone who's played it and/or heard enough of my endless gushing could guess.

Spoiler: Particularly relevant lyrics

 

See, you know exactly who I mean. :::PPP

 

Couple for Cronus Ampora:

 

oh man this song gives me mettaton and napstablook feels like whoa. the lyrics are perfect:

Spoiler: lyrics

He went to visit an old, old friend
And it was long, long overdue
And though they stayed up very late
They never talked out of turn or tune
And every time they'd say goodbye
Well he'd just stay another while
They started from a distant place
And were so happy face to face

The one who left wanted everything
The one who stayed never wanted more
It's not your choice, it's how you're built
It's in a blueprint of your soul
The one who left, he dropped his smile
And they sat quiet for a while
Then The one who stayed began to speak
And in his words, he answered why

I'm just another drop in the bucket
I'm just another song on a jukebox
I'm just another face in the crowd
Another fish in the sea

Something to being one of the many
Something to being one in the masses
Something to being surrounded by others and not alone by yourself

I never wanted the bright lights and my eyes are much too quiet
I never wanted them pointing their fingers at me
Oh no, but...

Something to being one of the many
Something to being one in the masses
Something to being surrounded by others and not alone by yourself

The one who left he knew it then
And he would never doubt again
He loved this life, he loved his friend
But he'd keep running 'til the end
All words they said hovered above
All of the pain, all of the love
They hugged goodbye
And in his room, he sang real quiet to the moon

Something to being one of the many who get to sing the songs on the jukebox
Who get to stay awake all night and dream half of the day
Something to waking up in a new town
Something to singing songs to a new crowd
Something to being surrounded by others and not alone by yourself

I never wanted the bright lights and my eyes are much too quiet
I never wanted them pointing their fingers at me
Oh no, but...

Something to being one of the many who get to sing the songs on the jukebox
Who get to stay awake all night and dream half of the day
Then wake up in a new town
Just another face in the crowd

edit: i might try to do a lyricstuck thing if i ever get the energy...

 

Dreams and Disasters by Owl City is totally a Frisk song.
Same with Momentum by Aviators and Level Up by Vienna Teng.

Aborted Kill All Route-to-Pacifist has Zero by Aviators.

Afterlife by Switchfoot is another one.

I've seen Centuries used as a Chara song, and Immortals is a good Chara and Frisk song, possibly even Charisk. (both Fall Out Boy.)

 

I have a lot of these.

Spoiler: Highlights from my Gravity Falls itunes playlist

Ford's early days in Gravity Falls and his relationship with Bill:


The Society of the Blind Eye:


Mabel vs. the future:


If you pretend this song isn't blatantly about a romantic relationship (or if you like Stancest, I guess) it captures how I imagine Stan and Ford's feelings after they were separated (particularly Ford):


Stan and the portal:

 

Huh, kintsugi won't let me embed more than five videos at a time.

Anyway...

Spoiler: Reckoners playlist highlights

...which isn't nearly as popular (on here or just in general), but it's going up here anyway because it's my Thing right now and I am trying to be less shy about this kind of thing, at least here on the intertubes where people can just stop reading if they think it's stupid and I won't even know about it.

Reckoners' mission statement:


David:


Megan, eventually:


David and Prof's conflict in book 2, from Prof's perspective:


Obliteration:


Bonus romance nonsense:
Megan, addressing David
David, addressing Megan

 

yessss!!!!

Some legends are told
Some turn to dust or to gold
But you will remember me
Remember me, for centuries
Just one mistake
Is all it will take
We'll go down in history
Remember me for centuries
Hey, hey, hey
Remember me for centuries

 

"they say we are what we are, but we don't have to be/i'm bad behaviour but i do it in the best way"
"i am the sand in the bottom half of the hourglass, glass, glass/i try to picture me without you but i can't"
"and live with me forever now/and pull the blackout curtains down/but not for long, for long"

 

While we're at it with Fall Out Boy, in my head "The Phoenix" is about Monstrous Regiment. :::PPP

 

i associate aviators' Red with post-pacifist undertale, especially with papyrus and frisk as they're the two ambassador options

 

This reminds me of Papyrus and Undyne's friendship.

 

Omg i love this song, i hadnt thought of it for them! It works really well

 

The hymn 'When A Knight Won His Spurs' will always be my theme for the protagonists of the Ace Attorney series!

 

For Zelos Wilder from Tales of Symphonia:

 

For Sitara and Marcus, probably directed at Dusan lbr

 

Ooh, nice.

Another Zelos song, while we're on the subject:



"Walk the Walk" by Poe

My mother spent ten years sitting by the window
Scared if she spoke she would die of a heart attack
She listened as her dreams silently screamed
They drowned like little dolphins caught in a fishnet

Dear world, I'm pleased to meet you
