Songs you associate with your stories

Posted 5 years, 4 months ago by jammyrolling

I've seen songs you associate with your characters but never ones about your stories or your serieses :0

It's exactly what it says on the tin: What songs do you associate with your stories? 


For example, I really associate Charlie Brown (warning, flashing lights) with a subseries of mine! 
I also associate Birds with my Bridgeport story can you tell i like coldplay lol

Yoaisami

Don't really have much yet, I'm still setting up

Warning: some videos linked have shaking images/words.

I associate What Have I Become by All Good Things with my WW1/WW2 plots. I do use U2's Elevation as a theme for my OC Beck but I do associate it with my WW2 plot as a whole.

I associate Bowie's Starman and  Heaven Below's rock cover of Major Tom with my sci-fi plots.

My General Playlist is the music I listen to most of the time, and that includes writing and drawing

  •  It ranges from cute upbeat music such as Friend Shitai from Gakkou Gurashi and several Vocaloid songs to maintain what I want for my art style, I want to get a ''''moe'''' art style you commonly see from Vocaloid PVs and SoL girly anime
  • When I write, I listen to Umineko OST and Yuki Kajiura (namely Madoka Magica OST) to maintain the fairytale vibe of my story
  • I also listen to Metal Gear (mostly Rising) to maintain the modern vibe I'm also yearning for my story LMAo I listen to too much music so I can go on forever
But yeah, my style in creativity changes, depending on what I listen to ;_;

I'm on mobile so No Links but I associate muscians with my stories moreso than songs themselves! I associate my story Jabberwocky with Susumu Hirasawa, and my The Witch and the Poetess story with Joanna Newsom!

           Aside from my main armament androids plot, I have never really thought about this before. Lets see...

  •      For my Fate Grand Order OCs, which I mainly use for RP in a facebook group created by my friend - Wicked Fate. This is due to the main plot of the game which humanity is wiped out and historical figures are summoned to fight to restore the history with humanity in it. Three of the four OCs presented all have a lingered tie with the world (as they're all founder/major benefactor to some cities which they want to see continuously prospering). 'Wicked Fate' not only reflecting what befell the cities they love, but also my own internal plot between these OCs. Especially how Konstantin (the so-called leader of the group) is summoned as an avenger, a class often associated with hatred toward humanity - despite the other three spent their past life worshiping him as a saint in Orthodox Christian belief. And here's big spoiler - in near future I'll also create Ruler-class Konstantin, the embodiment of his saintly past self but won't register this OC into the RP group on facebook. So there will be a clash between two sides of Konstantin with my internal plot.
  •      City Ocs plot is kinda...on hiatus due to the lack of ability to avoid element of the conflicts in real life. It's quite difficult to think of a song that fits this plot but I guess my first choice would be Love Antique. Because the lyric shows a common history between these OCs quite well that, throughout history their loyalty or even love for the state(s) they belonged to was never forever. Same goes with several other settlements they once considered close friend/family but now they're living in two different states.
  •      Slavic Mythology... either Slavsia Rus by ARKONA (though it bugs me since this song exclusively talks about the Slavic mythology in east slavic region) or this entire 40-minute mini suit of ballet by Igor Moiseyev based on 'The Night on the Bald Mountain'. The latter I feel fits the theme of 'even by now the Slavs abandoned their native ancient faith for Christianity, yet the lingering trace of their abandoned faith is still lurking around them'.
  •      For the Artificial Existence plot, I'm tempted to refer to the actual navy march song (warning - of course shows lots of navy warships belonged to the USSR and scene of weapons launching during naval exercise) used in the USSR and Russia since it certainly covers the majority of the cast (warship androids). If not then probably Kindred Spirits.

This song tbh actually, the entire "Sherlock Holmes" movie franchise songs 🙏 fills my gaslight fantasy heart with joy

FoofyFaun

I often associate Starchild with my Sacred Sokuna story. There's no words, but somehow, it just seems like the perfect song to describe the world and lore.

I have lots of songs I associate with my stories and characters. I have entire playlists dedicated to it! Here are the playlists I have for my mains OCs Astrid and Robbie. I also have a playlist about my story/novel.

Kogami

I.......have this habit of associating any shounen anime OP/EDs with my main story lol (I listen to these type of songs when drawing them) but ones that perfectly fits my story are The Biggest Dreamer by Wada Kouji, Be My Angel by Enomoto Atsuko and Legendary by Roselia

Also B.O.F. by Poppin'Party because this song makes me wanna cry

Ruthenia circlejourney

King of Anything is basically the theme song of Eagles and Swans, and also of Ruthenia as a character. Besides being the inspiration for Ruth, it captures the mood I was going for with the project, upbeat and uplifting, but also scathingly critical in some ways.

reinapepiada

Young Volcanoes by Fall Out Boy literally works for any of my stories. it just does. well maybe not ALL of my stories but i swear it's most of them hahaha
