A good song for the ups and downs of Zari and Gel.

Gel'larian and his faith.

Finally, Gel'larian the warrior.

another plot another strand (or the dangers of returning to the plot)
 
 Ooh, let's go
 Arfur walks warily down the cave
 With the shield pulled way down low
 Ain't no sound but the sound of his save
 Strands ready to go
 
 
 Are you ready! hey are you ready for this!
 Are you hanging on the strand of a soul
 Out of some looping the arrows rip
 to the sound of the snap -yeah
 
 Another one bites the dust
 Another strand goes the road
 and another one gone and another one gone
 another one bites the dust eh
 another strand goes the road
 
 How do you think Im going to plot along
 without strands that are gone
 you took me for the strands that I had
 and it will never be quite the same
 
 Another one bites the dust
 Another strand goes the road
 and another one gone and another one gone
 another one bites the dust eh
 another strand goes the road
 
 There are plenty of ways that you can hurt a man
 And bring him to the ground
 You can ignore him
 You can gore him
 You can treat him bad and leave him
 When he's dead, yeah
 
 But I'm clueless, yes I'm plotless for you
 I'm standing on my own two feet
 Out of the looping the arrows rip
 twanging to the sound of the snap
 Oh yeah
 
 
 Another one bites the dust
 Another strand goes the road
 and another one gone and another one gone
 another one bites the dust eh
 another strand goes the road

I was reminded of this song last night. Not limited to those who were at the campfire last night of course. You know who the rest of you are. ;)

Was listening to this and thought it fit Keela to some degree.  This will probably change but for now this is it :)

Found Tyra's themesong.  Hope you like this one Shiff.

YouTube - GLEE - Get It Right (FULL HQ ORIGINAL SONG)

What have I done?
I wish I could run
Away from this ship goin' under
Just tryin' to help, hurt everyone else
Now I feel the weight of the world is
On my shoulders

What can you do when your good isn't good enough?
When all that you touch tumbles down?
'Cause my best intentions keep making a mess of things
I just wanna fix it somehow
But how many times will it take?
Oh, how many times will it take for me?
To get it right
To get it right

Can I start again with my faith shaken?
'Cause I can't go back and undo this
I just have to stay and face my mistakes
But if I get stronger and wiser
I'll get through this

What can you do when your good isn't good enough?
When all that you touch tumbles down?
'Cause my best intentions keep making a mess of things
I just wanna fix it somehow
But how many times will it take?
Oh, how many times will it take for me?
To get it right

So I throw up my fist
Throw a punch in the air
And accept the truth that sometimes life isn't fair
Yeah, I'll send down a wish
Yeah, I'll send up a prayer
And finally, someone will see
How much I care!

What can you do when your good isn't good enough?
When all that you touch tumbles down?
'Cause my best intentions keep making a mess of things
I just wanna fix it somehow
But how many it times will it take?
Oh, how many times will it take for me?
To get it right
To get it ri-igh-ight

There are a lot of songs that have reminded me of different characters in different situations, but it's always been difficult thinking of a song as being a theme for any particular character. Like summarizing a whole person in a few lines!

This one has made me think of Acacea for a few years, and is the only song I've ever considered ripping the lyrics of to perform IC. I don't really like using lyrics taken from RL songs, but it was tempting. :)

Quote from: Another Day - Tim O’Brien (Also covered by Karan Casey)
This world is made from sweat and toil
Pushing muscle and elbow oil
We can’t lie too long in the shade
'cause everyday must be remade

Some days we fall, some days we fly
In the end we all must die
Our rotting flesh and broken bones
Will feed the ground that we call home
Will feed the ground that we call home

A new sprout grows from a fallen tree
This song will go on after me
So lift your heart and dry your eyes
It’s another day to live and die
It’s another day to live and die

Now I’ve run naked in the wild
Seen the beauty of a new born child
And like the alchemists of old
I’ve tried to spin my straw to gold

Most times a giver, sometimes a thief
So full of hope, but prone to grief
Between freedom and despair
I know the truth is lying there
I know the truth is lying there

A new sprout grows from a fallen tree
This song will go on after me
So lift your heart and dry your eyes
It’s another day to live and die
It’s another day to live and die

Go on now, don’t you worry about me
You’ve miles to go and a world to see
My life’s been long and full and good
I’ve run this race the best I could

It’s a short time here and a long apart
The same song rings in both our hearts
So take this guitar when I’m gone
Write your rhymes and pass it on

A new sprout grows from a fallen tree
This song will go on after me
So lift your heart and dry your eyes
It’s another day to live and die
It’s another day to live and die
Let a new sprout grow from a fallen tree, this song will go on after me
So lift your heart and dry your eye, it's another day to live and die
It's another day to live and die

Just another day

A song for Chaynce from Daniella: (Ironically... this started playing on the radio station I was listening to right after Chaynce died)

One Sweet Day- Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men

Sorry I never told you, all I wanted to say.
Now it's too late to hold you,
'cause you've gone away, so far away..

Never had I imagined,
living without your smile.
Feeling and knowing you hear me,
It keeps me alive,
Alive..

And I know you're your shining down on me from heaven,
Like so many friends we've lost along the way.
And I know eventually we'll be together
One sweet day..

Darling I never showed you.
Assumed you'd always be there.
Took your presence for granted
But I always cared
And I miss the love we shared

And I know you're your shining down on me from heaven,
Like so many friends we've lost along the way.
And I know eventually we'll be together
One sweet day..

Although the sun will shine the same,
I'll always look to a brighter day.
Lord I know when I lay me down to sleep,
You will always listen as I pray..

And I know you're your shining down on me from heaven,
Like so many friends we've lost along the way.
And I know eventually we'll be together
One sweet day..

And I know you're your shining down on me from heaven,
Like so many friends we've lost along the way.
And I know eventually we'll be together
One sweet day..

Sorry I never told you, all I wanted to say..

One for Daniel B. Poetr and Viper (Bella)

Separate Lives- Phill Collins and Marilyn Martin
YouTube - ‪Seperate Lives ~ Phil Collins / Marilyn Martin‬‏

You called me from the room in your hotel
All full of romance for someone that you met
And telling me how sorry you were, leaving so soon
And that you miss me sometimes when you’re alone in your room
Do I feel lonely too?

You have no right to ask me how I feel
You have no right to speak to me so kind
We can’t go on just holding on to time
Now that we’re living separate lives

Well I held on to let you go
And if you lost your love for me, well you never let it show
There was no way to compromise
So now we’re living (living)
Separate lives

Ooh, it’s so typical, love leads to isolation
So you build that wall (build that wall)
Yes, you build that wall (build that wall)
And you make it stronger

Well you have no right to ask me how I feel
You have no right to speak to me so kind
Some day I might (I might) find myself looking in your eyes
But for now, we’ll go on living separate lives
Yes for now, we’ll go on living separate lives
Separate lives

William's themes: Mass Effect 3 Soundtrack- Leaving earth (cover for electrical guitar) and Apocalyptica - Ruska. And since recently, he has fallen into this: Mass Effect 3 Soundtrack - I was lost without you.


Aden's theme, "Driven": Apocalyptica - Somewhere around nothing


Faction theme song(s):
Wolfswood Rangers, Followers of Folian: more than just singing for the trees. Amon Amarth - Live for the kill
Quote
The pack of wolves
Are closing in
Now, hear the howling beasts
They move fast
Through winter woods
And soon it's time to feast

A vicious hunt
On through the night
The prey is short of breath
They feel the sting
Of burning eyes
That's fixed upon their necks

A predator's heart
Knows no remorse
It lives for the hunt
A predator's heart
Knows no remorse
It lives for the hunt
A natural force

They show their sharp
And grinning teeth
As howls are getting higher
Sending chills
Down fleeing spines
Their blood runs hot as fire

The vicious chase
Is soon at end
They're hunted until death
They feel the pain
Of sharpening steel
That's cutting through their flesh

Fearless warriors
Feed the wolves
Now hear the howling beasts
They move fast
Through winter woods
See the grey-backs feast

A natural force
It knows no remorse
And lives for the kill
The cello bridge fits as well.


For the followers of Toran and allies, I found this theme to be great. Albeit there are more impressive pieces of music and speeches, this one is another nice one, in my opinion.:

Mass Effect 3 Soundtrack - Stand strong, stand together.

William Leox

Malukah - Reignite

Hope can drown lost in thunderous sound
Fear can claim what little faith remains

But I carry strength from souls now gone
They won't let me give in...

I will never surrender
We'll free the Earth and sky
Crush my heart into embers
And I will reignite...
I will reignite

Death will take those who fight alone
But united we can break a fate once set in stone

Just hold the line until the end
Cause we will give them hell...

I will never surrender
We'll free the Earth and sky
Crush my heart into embers
And I will reignite...
I will reignite.
