Everyone wants to have a themesong!

[Merry Grace Lovelace]

So I was thinking that this might be a good place to post things of interest like themesongs. That way if we ever wish we can make a "soundtrack" of some type.

Merry for example is a bit calm and melancholy if truth be known. Given what the character is going through I think this song is appropriate.

Demeter's Daughter

While picking flowers in the field
all in the springtime of the year,
I heard the sound of chariot wheels
and was afraid with nothing to fear.

And there he stood with his eyes like fire,
His face as dark as a night in hell,
And there he stood with his eyes like fire,
and said, "Fair Lady, I wish you well."

They say he forced me but that's not so --
Of my free will I followed him down
to his dark place beneath the hill,
to his dark palace below the ground.

And there he loved me and I loved him
though all the world there was icy dark
We never noticed the light was dim
for the bright flame inside our hearts.

They say above us the world grew cold,
the leaves and flowers began to die.
The fruit trees withered and grew old,
and dark'ning clouds covered all the sky.

My mother searched hard and tried to find
a pathway leading down from the sun,
and long she travelled with troubled mind
until she walked where we once had run.

I still remember the dreadful hour
she stood before us and bade me leave
Her dress of sunlight, her face a flower,
his face behind me so full of grief.

We made a bargain and made it sure,
we made a contract and made it sound --
that I would stay with her for half the year,
the other half come below the ground.

It was so good at first to see the sky,
to walk in sunlight and hear the lark;
but not so good to have to say goodbye
to my love down there in the dark.

Oh yes, it's true then that life is good,
and I've learned the lesson it can teach:
that you can never have all you want,
and you never want what's within reach.

The sweetest flower that ever bloomed
grows far deep inside a bush of thorns
And happiness then is like the rose,
for without pain nothing good is born.

To know the daylight you must know dark,
to know the flowers you must know weeds;
you cannot meet again unless you part,
or eat a pomegranate without seeds.

Oh yes, it's true then that life is good,
and I've learned the lesson it can teach:
that you can never have all you want,
and you never want what's within reach.

All I want - A Day to Remember

I'm always screaming my lungs out 'til my head starts spinning
Playing my songs is the way I cope with life
Won't keep my voice down
Know the words I speak are the thoughts I think out loud

I like to keep things honest
I'm a safe bet like your life's staked on it, for real
I'd hate to keep you all wondering
I'm constant like the seasons, I will never be forgotten man

Let's leave no words unspoken
And save regrets for the broken
Will you even look back when you think of me?

All I want is a place to call my own
To mend the hearts of everyone who feels alone
Whoa, you know to keep your hopes up high
And your head down low
Keep your hopes up high and your head down low

Still got something left to prove
It tends to keep things movin' while everyone around me says
My last days are looming overhead
But just what the hell do they think they know?

I keep my head above the water
While they drown in the undertow
Let's leave no words unspoken and save regrets for the broken
Will you even look back when you think of me?

All I want is a place to call my own
To mend the hearts of everyone who feels alone
Whoa, you know to keep your hopes up high
And your head down low

All I want is a place to call my own
To mend the hearts of everyone who feels alone
Whoa, you know to keep your hopes up high
And your head down low

If you take it from me, live your life for yourself
'Cause when it's all said and done, you don't need anyone else
C'mon!

So let's get back to when everything seemed perfect
Not a worry in the world, tell me was this all worth it?
I get what I want so everyone's always judging me
I'm not afraid of anything, I've got the whole world in front of me

All I want is a place to call my own
To mend the hearts of everyone who feels alone
Whoa, you know to keep your hopes up high
And your head down low

All I want is a place to call my own
To mend the hearts of everyone who feels alone
Whoa, you know to keep your hopes up high
And your head down low

Keep your heads down low
Keep your heads down low
Keep your hopes up high
And your heads down low

[Merry Grace Lovelace]

This is the most recient one for Merry.

The Apprentice

She was all the stars in a velvet sea
A gem of perfection she seemed to me
Skin like silk and a rose red smile
All grace when I brought her tea

And her laughter cut through my girlish dream
"Don't you know that we're all silk and cream
And roses and velvet and gems and stars?
You must be more than what you seem."

One night I stole into her garden
And I overheard her sigh...

"You don't have to be wild to want to run
Look at the roses and you'll see
See them climbing ever higher toward the sun
These garden walls are not for me."

I had come so young to the Twilight School
Quiet and shy and a bit of a fool
A hopeless handmaid, so awkward and awed
Until she saw an uncut jewel

She taught me all the Companion's art
Beauty and charm and the skills to set ourselves apart
We were teacher and student, we were friend and friend
And we were sisters of the heart

Sharing afternoon tea in her garden
She would gaze up at the sky...

"You don't have to be wild to want to run
Look at the ring-doves and you'll see
See them stretching their clipped wings out toward the sun
This pretty cage is not for me."

She could see her path laid out in flowers and in stone
Priestess, Lady, Head of House, and nothing left unknown
She whispered to her teacup that it chilled her to the bone
"When others look to you to make their choices
You no longer make your own..."

Now my clients say there's no lady as fine
The skill and the charm and the garden are mine
But I walk outside the gate at night
And see the stars and planets shine

They say she's done battle, they say she fell in love
They say she near died in that endless sky above
And all of her lessons I took to heart
Even that of the rose and the dove

She taught me to look beyond the garden
And she never said goodbye...

You don't have to be wild to want to run
Look at the river and you'll see
See it leap and dance away, laughing in the sun
Perhaps it knows a place for me.

[Marina Anne Sinclaire]

This strikes me as Mari's themesong for the moment. ;D

Anyway

By Martina McBride

You can spend your whole life buildin'
Somethin' from nothin'
One storm can come and blow it all away
Build it anyway

You can chase a dream
That seems so out of reach
And you know it might not ever come your way
Dream it anyway

[chorus:]
God is great, but sometimes life ain't good
When I pray it doesn't always turn out like I think it should
But I do it anyway
I do it anyway

This world's gone crazy and it's hard to believe
That tomorrow will be better than today
Believe it anyway
You can love someone with all your heart
For all the right reasons
And in a moment they can choose to walk away
love 'em anyway

God is great, but sometimes life ain't good
When I pray it doesn't always turn out like I think it should
But I do it anyway
I do it anyway

You can pour your soul out singing
A song you believe in
That tomorrow they’ll forget you ever sang
Sing it anyway
Yeah, sing it anyway
I sing, I dream, I love
Anyway
yeah

[emery]

So, I was just thinking about my Emery character today, and two songs came to mind. Now I can't stop listening to them haha. Good thing they are on the same CD lol. Both songs sort of represent the struggles she is having between who she was and what she has become. The songs will probably fit her much better later on in the roleplay when she actually starts falling apart.

Fight Inside by Red

Enemy familiar friend
My beginning and my end
Knowing truth, whispering lies
And it hurts again

What I fear and what I try
The words I say and what I hide
All the pain, I want it to end
But I want it again

And it finds me
The fight inside is coursing through my veins
And it's raging
The fight inside is breaking me again

It's still the same, pursuing pain
Isn't worth the light I've gained
We both know how this will end
But I do it again

And it finds me
The fight inside is coursing through my veins
And it's raging
The fight inside is hurting me again

And it finds me
The war within me pulls me under
And without you
The fight inside is breaking me again

It's nothing
(It's everything)
It's nothing
(It's everything)

It's nothing
(It's everything)
It's nothing
It's everything

And it finds me
The fight inside is coursing through my veins
And it's raging
The fight inside is hurting me again

And it finds me
The war within me pulls me under
And without you
The fight inside is breaking me again

It's breaking me, it's breaking me
I'm falling apart, I'm falling apart

And I even have a video thing for you guys to check out if you wanna hear the song! It is soooooo good! And because I know how obsessed everyone is with Vampire Diaries, I even found a good video for Stefan's struggles hehe. I'm just that cool! hahaha jk

HERE

And the second one

Death of Me by Red

I should have seen all the signs around me
But I was comfortable inside these wounds
So go ahead and take another piece of me now
While we all bow down to you

You tear me down and then you pick me up
You take it all and still it's not enough
You try to tell me you can heal me
But I'm still bleeding and you will be the death of me

How can you know my affliction
If you're the sickness and not the cure
But too long I have faked this addiction
Another sacrifice will make us pure

You tear me down and then you pick me up
You take it all and still it's not enough
You try to tell me you can heal me
But I'm still bleeding and you will be the death of me

You tear me down and then you pick me up
You take it all and still it's not enough
You try to tell me you can heal me
But I'm still bleeding and you will be the death of me

I won't forget, I cannot forget this
I won't forget, I'll never forget this
I won't forget, I cannot forget this
I won't forget, I'll never forget this

I won't forget, I cannot forget this
I won't forget, I'll never forget this
I won't forget, I cannot forget this
I won't forget, I'll never forget

No, I can never prove this solution
You aren't the one that I thought you were
And so I learn to embrace this illusion
I will separate this all to a blur

You tear me down and then you pick me up
You take it all and still it's not enough
You try to tell me you can heal me
But I'm still bleeding and you will be the death of me
And you will be the death of me

I won't forget, I cannot forget this
And you will be the death of me

And here is a cool video too for you guys to watch for the song. This time it's from my fav TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The character Faith is the focus.

HERE

[Reginald Edmund Sinclaire]

I picture this being the Song for Trent and Mari. Its called Canto alla vita from Josh Groban and these are the English lyrics to it.

SONG TO LIFE

Dedicated to the one who guilty or innocent
Lost in this sea
Yielded to the stream
Who didn't ever be a winner

Dedicated to the one always keeping a hope
In front of a sorrow
In the cold of a room

Dedicated to the one searching his own freedom

I sing to life
To all its beauty
To every wound of it
To every caresse of it

I sing to life
To it's tragic beauty
To pain and to strife
Let all that dance through me
The rise and the fall
I lived through it all

Dedicated to the one who always made it dry
Like possessed, slipped through fingers
It was always already over

I sing to life
Reflected into your eyes
Easy and endless
Promised land for us

I sing to life
Sweet and even fierce
To this journey of ours
Which still puts us in chains

It calls us...

Don't ever doubt ( x 2 )
Don't ever leave it alone
Alone
... still ...

I sing to life
Sweet and even fierce
To this journey of ours
Which still puts us in chains

It calls us...

[/i]

[Marina Anne Sinclaire]

This is one of the songs I listen to when I'm writing posts for Mari.

I'll Meet You Halfway

By the Partridge Family

Will there come a day you and I can say
We can finally see each other?
Will there come a time we can find the time
To reach out for one another?

We've been travelin' in circles such a long, long time
Tryin' to say hello, hello!
And we can just let it ride, but you're someone that I'd
Like to get to know

[Chorus:]
I'll meet you halfway, that's better than no way
There must be some way to get it together
And if there's some way, I know that some day
We just might work it out forever

Will there come a day (Will there come a day)
You and I can say (You and I can say)
We can finally see each other?
Will there come a time (Will there come a time)
We can find the time (We can find the time)
To reach out for one another?

I'll meet you halfway, that's better than no way
I'll meet you halfway, that's better than no way

[Repeat and fade]

[april]

Switchfoot - Redemption

Four A.M., two hours to go
I'm wearing out a lonely glow
I miss you more than I could know
Here I am, here I am, won't you get me?

I've got my hands at redemption's side
Whose scars are bigger than these doubts of mine
I'll fit all of these monstrosities inside
And I'll come alive
Come alive

With my fist down at your feet
I was running out of mysteries
Insecure and incomplete

Here I am, here I am, won't you get me?
I've got my hands at redemption's side
Whose scars are bigger than these doubts of mine

I'll fit all of these monstrosities inside
And I'll come alive
Come alive
Alive
Come alive

My fears have worn me out
My fears have worn me out
Yeah, my fears have worn me out
My fears have worn me, worn me out

I've got my hands at redemption's side
Whose scars are bigger than these doubts of mine
I'll fit all of these monstrosities inside
And I'll come alive

I've got my hands at redemption's side
Whose scars are bigger than these doubts of mine
I'll fit all of these monstrosities inside
And come alive
Come alive

I could SOOOOO Imagine Cassie walking away to this after seeing Shannelle and Darryl kiss hahah

"Tragedy" by Christina Perri

If you could envision
The meaning of a tragedy...oooh
You might be surprised to hear it's you and me
When it comes down to it
You never made the most of it...oooh
So I cried, cried, cried
And now, say goodbye

And I won't be made a fool of...
Don't call this love

When did you decide
I didn't have enough to buy?
Forgive and forget you a thousand times
For the fire and the sleepless nights

And I won't be made a fool of...
Don't call this love
I don't call this love
...la la la la la la love

Why did you feel the need to prove that everybody else was right?...
No I... won't fight

Oh you're my tragedy... tragedy
Oh you're my Tragedy,
Oh this is ohhh no no no

[Samael Sinclaire]

Not a big fan of songs like these, but this one was catchy.

Let It Rock- Kevin Rudolf


I see your dirty face
High behind your collar
What is done in vain
Truth is hard to swallow
So you pray to God
To justify the way you live a lie
Live a lie
Live a lie

And you take your time
And you do your crime
Well you made your bed
I'm in mine


Because when I arrive
I, I'll bring the fire
Make you come alive
I can take you higher
What this is, forgot?
I must now remind you
Let It Rock
Let It Rock
Let It Rock

Now the son's disgraced
He, who knew his father
When he cursed his name
Turned, and chased the dollar
But it broke his heart
So he stuck his middle finger
To the world
To the world
To the world

And you take your time
And you stand in line
Well you'll get what's yours
I got mine

Because when I arrive
I, I'll bring the fire
Make you come alive
I can take you higher
What this is, forgot?
I must now remind you
Let It Rock
Let It Rock
Let It Rock


Because when I arrive
I, I'll bring the fire
Make you come alive
I can take you higher
What this is, forgot?
I must now remind you
Let It Rock
Let It Rock
Let It Rock

Just Let It Rock
Let It Rock
Let It Rock
Let It Rock...
Let It Rock...

Because when I arrive
I, I'll bring the fire
Make you come alive
I can take you higher
What this is, forgot?
I must now remind you
Let It Rock
Let It Rock
Let It Rock

I wish I could be
As cruel as you
And I wish I could say
The things you do
But I can't and I won't live a lie
No, not this time.

[mandy]

To Mandy's confusion and all the love stories:

Kreesha Turner - "I Could Stay"

The way you've got me feeling,
The gravity boy you're stealin'
Losing track of nights and days
Can't control this rushin,
It's more than a little crush and
I never ever felt this way

[Hook]
When I dream of you I feel like everything is all right
Baby you're my sunrise
When I'm close to you
I can't hide
All the joy that's inside
Baby you're so divine

[Chorus]
(I could stay here with you)
Fallin' in love so hard, so fast
I don't know what I'm gonna do
(I could stay here with you)
I don't wanna leave
There's no one else for me
I, I, I could stay here with you
(I could stay here with you)

I don't mind you being all up on me
Hope you never need to take too much time or space
Maybe I'm just being blind
When I'm looking into your eyes
I really think you feel the same

[Hook]
When I dream of you I feel like everything is all right
Baby you're my sunrise
When I'm close to you
I can't hide
All the joy that's inside
Baby you're so divine

[Chorus]
(I could stay here with you)
Fallin' in love so hard, so fast
I don't know what I'm gonna do
(I could stay here with you)
I don't wanna leave
There's no one else for me
I, I, I could stay here with you
(I could stay here with you)

Fallin' in love so hard, so fast
I don't know what I'm gonna do
(I could stay here with you)
I don't wanna leave
There's no one else for me
I, I, I could stay here with you

Stay with me for always
Stay
You and me could find a way
Stay

[Chorus]
(I could stay here with you)
Fallin' in love so hard, so fast
I don't know what I'm gonna do
(I could stay here with you)
I don't wanna leave
There's no one else for me
I, I, I could stay here with you
(I could stay here with you)

Fallin' in love so hard, so fast
I don't know what I'm gonna do
(I could stay here with you)
I don't wanna leave
There's no one else for me
I, I, I could stay here with you

[Michael]

From Yesterday - 30 Seconds to Mars


He's a stranger to some
And a vision to none
He can never get enough,
Get enough of the one

For a fortune he'd quit
But it's hard to admit
How it ends and begins
On his face is a map of the world
(A map of the world)
On his face is a map of the world
(A map of the world)
From yesterday, it's coming!
From yesterday, the fear!
From yesterday, it calls him
But he doesn't want to read the message here

On a mountain he sits, not of gold but of shit
through the blood he can look, see the life that he took
From council of one
He'll decide when he's done with the innocent

On his face is a map of the world
(A map of the world)
On his face is a map of the world
(A map of the world)

From yesterday, it's coming!
From yesterday, the fear!
From yesterday, it calls him
But he doesn't want to read the message
He doesn't want to read the message
Doesn't want to read the message here

On his face is a map of the world

From yesterday, it's coming!
From yesterday, the fear!
From yesterday, it calls him
But he doesn't want to read the message here
From yesterday,
From yesterday,
From yesterday, the fear
From yesterday,
From yesterday
But he doesn't want to read the message
But he doesn't want to read the message
But he doesn't want to read the message here

[mooshi]

Oh wow, that is like a perfect song for Michael, like for realz!
