December posting meme: Day 14

[lokifan]

musesfool asked for my top five songs that remind me of characters. (More days available over here if you'd like to ask a question.)

Soooo many answers to this lol. In no particular order…


1. Let’s Get Fucked Up And Die by Motion City Soundtrack for Spike in season 4, when he’s struggling with being chipped. I’d like to vid this, actually. My friend Januarium’s helped me get started with the idea of maybe making vids! And I’ve started playing with some footage for a different vid idea, but this might happen first because I know BtVS so well I could probably find clips really fast.

I believe that I can
Overcome this and beat everything in the end
But I choose to abuse for the time being
Maybe I'll win, but for now I've decided to die

Sister soldier, you've been such a positive influence
On my mental frame

If I could ever repay you, I would
But I'm hard up for cash and my memory lacks initiative
Goddamn, the liquor store's closed
We were so close to scoring, it hurts, it destroys 'til it kills
I am tired, and hungry, and totally useless

2. Give Them A Show from Anna and the Apocalypse, a favourite musical. This is actually a duet, and a song I associate with two characters - Luna and Ardyn from FFXV. Again, strongly considering vidding this!

Anna: There are some things in life
That you just can't control
But I'm ready to fight
I was born for this role
I will do all I plan
'Fore I go to my grave
There is good on this Earth
And it's worth trying to save

Mr Savage: Well, Miss Shepherd, you're so wrong
You don’t have a clue
A purge on this species
Is long overdue
All humanity’s broken
Our story is done
As the set catches fire
Might as well have some fun

Both: So raise the curtain, hit the lights
Strike up the band for the final night
And if it is my time to go
I'll give them one hell of a show

3. Breath of Life by Florence and the Machine for Buffy in season 6.

I was looking for a breath of life
A little touch of heavenly light
But all the choirs in my head sang no
To get a dream of life again
A little of vision of the start and the end
But all the choirs in my head sang no

Watch on YouTube

4. Boy Decide by Murder By Death for Noctis from FFXV. (This one is all mrbeyond’s fault.)

Boy, Decide
You're too old to fuck around and too young to die
Time to try life on for size
Now the time it has come to pull yourself out of the mud

Watch on YouTube

5. Attagirl by Bettie Severt for Mai from AtLA. This one’s 100% because of the vid, which maddeningly I can’t find right now - I don’t remember the vidder. Please drop a link or a clue if you remember it!

Face that fact
You're looking for something

It's plain to see
It's you and me and the Devil makes three
Don't get stuck, somewhere in the middle
You paid all your dues and you're not on second fiddle
Don't say luck is something like a riddle
You paid for your place in this world - attagirl

Thanks for answering!

[lokifan]

Thanks for asking, it was fun to do!

So many songs I don't know! *goes to listen*

[lokifan]

Haha, I hope you enjoy! My taste for indie rock is probably becoming very evident...

[meteordust]

Okay, now I have to track down Anna and the Apocalypse!

[lokifan]

It's honestly one of my absolute favourite films! It's a zombie Christmas musical, set in Scotland, and all the actors are great and obviously having a fantastic time. In fact, I should rewatch, it's that time of year...
