Songs that Remind you of Layo?

[LynnJuniper]

I know we did the Player Character Themesong thing. But Have you ever been in an area, or on a quest, and say: Wow! This quest/area/NPC/ Whatever Really fits a certain song!

I have...creepily enough sometimes the song would come on while I'm in the middle of the quest or whatever and Only after would I realise the similarities.

I dunno, Just thought it would be fun to post the lyrics here. Ill start...

There's this story of an ancient Treasure in a civilization in a forest controlled by a vampire or other undead mistress who was once a queen taken under a curse. Ozy tells the story (And twice I missed the ending Darn it) And I found a song that kinda reminds me of the story.

Bella Morte -- Remains

Sweeping winds of greyest passion
Find the four who wander fated
Within halls their scarlet laughter
Is heard unknown from places shaded
Eyes are lined with black of midnight
Lips all touched in scarlet bliss
Tattered velvet, lace and chains
What dead have known such grace as this

Here let us lay for this age
Has sung its last days
Under the full moons' watch
Black is the coffin in which our dreams lie
Silver remains of the time of our glory
Stand where our temple fell
Black are the mirrors to which our fears fly

Pale hands flicker beneath the white lights
In rhythm with the living darkness
Others follow void of meaning
To stand in shadows as if thoughtless
Boots are laced through shining eyelets
Cobwebs line the greying hall
The dance goes on but pales without you
As winter turns to see the fall

Through warmest nights of starlit skies
My eyes must find another life
Where once we hoped to ever be
The only ones who understood
We now must face the coldest truth
That precious little matters now
For what we felt forever breathes
Within the silver by the sea

Riders of the storm, by the doors

[SuperMunch]

I hear the sweet sounds of Yakety Sax almost every time the party is moving.

A bit cruel, but that's all my mind's ear really hears.

[Diamondedge]

When Turor's being funny, like when he was chasing Bucko, the smelly halforc with a wet, soapy sponge, I think the Soul Bossa Nova would fit in there. The theme from Austin Powers. Shagadellic, baby, yeah!

[merlin34baseball]

Rhynn,

A little off topic but have you heard Save Me by Aimee Mann?  Makes me think of Rhynn when I hear it...

Oh and songs that remind me of Layo...  Let the Bodies Hit the Floor by Drowning Pool

[regnus]

I actually have a quest series coming up soon that is built almost entirely around the music that I listen to.

XP bonuses for those who can guess the songs?  

[Lord of the Forest]

Hrm ... could be 'The dragon lies bleedin' by Hammerfall or 'Heroes return' by Hammerfall as well

[darkwulf365]

A not so old one but it makes me think about clearing undead in the Broken Froest -- "Fight the Good Fight" by Triumph.

Hehe, no XP bonuses, but you may get clues as to what is coming up next if you catch on quick enough.  It is based on a lot of different sources though and will change as I expand and combine songs and things.

[Stephen_Zuckerman]

Oh, wow, Reg, I am TOTALLY looking forward to that, if I can manage to weasel my way into a spot.

Tyrian - TOTAL agreement about Rhynn's song, there.

As for Layonara... The heavier Bach usually fits for CNR trips and darker caves, but the Planets Suite will fit all other occasions.

[crazedgoblin]

angle the camera at a low 3rd person perspective, run forward folding the strafe and forward buttons (Q,W) are defaults on a hastedroadand "I get Around" by the beachboys in the background

[LynnJuniper]

Read the lyrics to that song Tyrian, I agree as well...

Hrm. Ice Queen by Within Temptation. Reminds me of two Peopleish things in Layo....See if you can guess the two.

For your enjoyment:

When leaves have fallen

And skies turned into grey.

The night keeps on closing in on the day

A nightingale sings his song of farewell

You better hide from her freezing hell



On cold wings she's coming

You better keep moving

For warmth, you'll be longing

Come on just feel it

Don't you see it?

You better believe it.



When she embraces

Your heart turns to stone

She comes at night when you are all alone

And when she whispers

Your blood shall run cold

You better hide before she finds you



Whenever she is raging

She takes all life away

Haven't you seen?

Haven't you seen?

The ruins of our world



She covers the earth with a breathtaking cloak

The sun awakes and melts it away

The world now opens its eyes and sees

The dawning of a new day



Whenever she is raging

She takes all life away

Haven't you seen?

Haven't you seen?

The ruins of our world

[Nook]

Black Auria...Instrumental written by Glen Danzig.  If you've never heard it, it's worth the purchase.

Hehe... that's awesome,and I can totally see that, too. All the characters hasted and moving lightning fast between areas while that plays

[darkstorme]

Mars, on any GM-driven combat.  (Normal combat tends not to be quite that dramatic.)  And, of course, you can play virtually anything John Williams as backdrop and it works just fine.  (Some are area-specific.)
