Songs you associate with fictional characters

I love this song so so much, it was introduced to me through a friend in my college's Japan Club who had shown it to us attached to an ancient amv for Revolutionary Girl Utena (it was apparently revolutionary in the early 2000's for its editing and I kind of agree)

 

Afraid by The Neighborhood always makes me think of Jesse Pinkman from Breaking Bad for some reason, probably because it has the same tone as If I Only Had a Heart from the episodes with his ongoing house parties.

 

I had like entire list of Erisol songs, lemme see if I can find them again...

• Scissor Sisters: I Can’t Decide
• Deftones: Prince (Bassnectar Remix)
• Days of the New: Touch Peel and Stand
• Ludo: Love Me Dead
• The Rolling Stones: Under My Thumb
• Head Automatica: Please Please Please
• Train: If it’s Love

 

Speaking of Star Wars

Spoiler: lyrics

Until now
I knew this of myself
That if you had thrown yourself down
Into the lion's den
My brother, I'd follow you in.

Perhaps I lacked some foresight
But brother, you were so right
Sure as the setting sun
You can't trust just anyone.

That's what you want, but it's not what you're asking for
That's what you had, but you don't have it anymore

You had it coming.

I never imagined you dead
But tell me, are you even aware
That all that we did, you undo?
ISCARIOT, you fool.

That's what you want, but it's not what you're asking for
That's what you're asking, but you're gonna get more than you bargained for
That's what you had, but you don't have it anymore

You had it coming.

You know you had it coming, my friend
You know you had it coming , my brother.
You had it coming.

Obi-Wan</>Anakin post-Mustafar :D

 

I've wanted to make a Scourge Sisters playlist since forever, but I never get further than Two Little Girls by Ani DiFranco because nothing comes close to it for encapsulating their relationship.

 

Oh man, that's so good for them.

I've been meaning to make a Scourge Sisters fanmix for like, years, myself, but I've never managed to make myself sit down and pull together a full playlist. But the most important ones would be these:



not saying you deserve to die / just saying you deserve yourself




yeah well we both know that you don't play fair / I bet you really think that you get me there

 

*gets hit with the Dave feelings train*

 

lost boy by ruth b. reminds me of timmy turner (fairly oddparents)

Spoiler: lyrics

[Intro]
There was a time when I was alone
Nowhere to go and no place to call home
My only friend was the man in the moon
And even sometimes he would go away, too

[Verse 1]
Then one night, as I closed my eyes,
I saw a shadow flying high
He came to me with the sweetest smile
Told me he wanted to talk for awhile
He said, "Peter Pan. That's what they call me.
I promise that you'll never be lonely."
And ever since that day...

[Chorus]
I am a lost boy from Neverland
Usually hanging out with Peter Pan
And when we're bored we play in the woods
Always on the run from Captain Hook
"Run, run, lost boy," they say to me,
"Away from all of reality."

[2x]
Neverland is home to lost boys like me
And lost boys like me are free

[Verse 2]
He sprinkled me in pixie dust and told me to believe
Believe in him and believe in me
Together we will fly away in a cloud of green
To your beautiful destiny
As we soared above the town that never loved me
I realized I finally had a family
Soon enough we reached Neverland
Peacefully my feet hit the sand
And ever since that day...

[Chorus]
I am a lost boy from Neverland
Usually hanging out with Peter Pan
And when we're bored we play in the woods
Always on the run from Captain Hook
"Run, run, lost boy," they say to me,
"Away from all of reality."

[2x]
Neverland is home to lost boys like me
And lost boys like me are free

[2x]
Peter Pan, Tinker Bell, Wendy Darling,
Even Captain Hook.
You are my perfect story book
Neverland, I love you so,
You are now my home sweet home
Forever a lost boy at last

And for always I will say...

[Chorus]
I am a lost boy from Neverland
Usually hanging out with Peter Pan
And when we're bored we play in the woods
Always on the run from Captain Hook
"Run, run, lost boy," they say to me,
"Away from all of reality."

[2x]
Neverland is home to lost boys like me
And lost boys like me are free

that is because of how emotionally attached timmy turner is to his fairies, the lengths he'd go to keep them, and how he has gotten less attached to the mundane world as the series has gone by.

and on a non-character related note, i get nice genderfeels from how, despite the singer probably being a girl, she sticks with the term used in the peter pan books ("lost boy") instead of changing it to suit her gender ("lost girl"). it's like when people cover love songs sang by people of the "opposite" binary gender and decide to keep them gay, awesome in the same way.

 

Off-topic but I love those too! I don't personally mind at all when people do change them but it always is nice when they don't. My favourite version of "The Wind That Shakes The Barley" gives me images of a Sweet Polly Oliver being shot in her girlfriend's arms.

 

Oh, back on topic. The end of any big massively-life-changing adventure story will set Emilie Autumn's "One Foot in Front of the Other" playing in my head.

 

my fandom imaginings of songs get so complicated, but the gist of this one is the first time with the chorus and the verses after centering around Anakin, Padme, and Luke, and then the second time the chorus plays and the rest of the song centering around Leia, Han, and Kylo

 

Not a character per se, and only a specific stanza, but the "shape shifter, shape shifter, you gotta quit that shiftin' of shapes" bit reminds me of Amethyst tormenting Greg in Maximum Capacity.

 

I associate this one with pre-haircut Luke fon Fabre:

 

Astronaut makes me think of Mytho from Princess Tutu, possibly from Rue's POV. Because "the pieces don't fit together so good/with all the breaking and all the gluing back".

 

The Lambs from Twig.



We were kings and queens of bedlam
We were happy to exist,
In discomfort we’d created
Though we dreamed of more than this

 

All of my Winter Soldier/Captain America MCU-verse Stucky feels in one song.


"...I'll forget what I've done
I'll be redefined

It's shaking the sky
And I'm following lightning
I'll recover if you keep me alive
Don't leave me behind
Can you see me I'm shining
And it's you that I've been waiting to find...

...I wanna be the one you steal
I wanna be the one you shield
I wanna be the one
That your love, that your love
Can heal..."

 

Resurrecting thread to say: This is an extremely Juno Steel from the Penumbra Podcast song.

 

I don't associate it with any ship in particular, but every angsty ship... fuck. yes.

 

So
I got back into Ace Attorney
and
Wrightworth:

and Klapollo:

 

The Bagman's Gambit always reminded me of Clintasha.
