Character / Game Soundtracks

I know its a hobby of mine and a few others to collect songs that make us think of our characters, or other peoples, or even situations in games. Well seeing everyone in FI is so super amazing awesome number one , I figured a lot of you had some songs bouncing around that make you think of your character. What a better time then now to share them! This is a great way to express your character more, give people a feel for your character, and not to mention find some great new music you may have never heard of before.

I'll get the ball rolling with two I have :3

www.youtube.com

Radioactive (Cover) Imagine Dragons- Lindsey Stirling and Pentatonix

I know I posted this to the FI FB, but meh. This is the opening song for my in making FI playlist. I love the balance of the violin, the lyrics, and the whole feel for the song. Perfect for new thaws and those who are just getting into the game. (Yes, I have the WORST history of events to attend. Both were the winter one days...talk about a way to 'wake up' to the game o.o )


www.youtube.com

City and Colour - Sensible Heart

Perfect song for Gera. All about doubt, being out of place, but having the best intentions and true heart.


Alright, I got the ball rolling. Your turn. Go Go Go.

Alright, let's see...

youtu.be
Kleine Schwester - Subway to Sally
The lyrics. They fit so well. (I mean really, look up the full lyrics, and then if Mic's told you why she really wants to shoot one of the new thaws this past cycle...)

youtu.be
youtu.be
MF
We are Rebels
Both are Alice in Videoland
Both of these just make me think of all the kickass ladies of FI.

Most of the rest are instrumentals.

I have an FI playlist I dig out before most events to get in the proper mind-set, I'll try to dig it out, too.

Eliza's playlist thus far. This is what I listen to before and after game.

What I have so far...

Audra Mae, "Bandida"
In my mind, this is Future Imperfect's theme song.

Ben Jelen, "Pulse"
Yes, it's vain. But seriously, listen to this song and tell me it doesn't work.

Alison Krauss & Union Station, "My Poor Old Heart"
For those who have had their fill of tragedy.

I use a ton of Krauss & Union Station for the Firefly game that I run. It doesn't get more appropriate for the 'Verse than banjos and frequent lyrics in Chinese.

I've been building one for D-Trip.

grooveshark.com

Some of the highlights:
- "Honor" by Atreyu, because of one of the lyrics
- "Industrial Discipline" by Fear Factory
- "Just a Girl" by No Doubt - substitute 'Dalet' for 'Girl'
- "Yiyongjun Jinxingqu" - an anthem that the rebels on 893 tended to use
- "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" by AC/DC
- some PPK for the Family

I have put way too much thought into this, but I put together a playlist for Levi here: Levi's Playlist (Grooveshark)

Tracks are in roughly chronological order:

Rebellion (Lies) - Arcade Fire
Apocalypse Please - Muse
We Own the Sky - M83
For the Restless - Tom McRae
I'm Not Afraid - Remy Zero
Soldier On - The Temper Trap
Glory - Radical Face
Demons - Imagine Dragons
Losing My Religion - R.E.M.
All These Things that I've Done - The Killers
Uppers Aren't Necessary - Rocky Votolato
Tear Down the House - The Avett Brothers
I'll Believe in Anything - Wolf Parade
Little Secrets - Passion Pit

I've loved seeing the music people have been posting for their characters! This thread is really cool.

I saw How To Destroy Angels at the House of Blues last night, and this song hit me as an appropriate theme for the next season of everyone's favorite TV Show, "Future Imperfect: Catalyst."

How Long?

Just came across this today, it's a glitch remix of the Walking Dead theme. Simultaneously very futuristic and very wild west. Seemed appropriate for Catalyst smiling smiley

That description actually reminds me of the Terran Theme from Star Craft 2

Also a good choice
