Cosmere! The Musical


Quiver

Recommended Posts

  • 2 weeks later...

And now, a shameless attempt to recapture the success of my earlier song: 

"The End," to the tune of "The Plagues" from Prince of Egypt

 

RUIN (speaking through every koloss and Inquisitor but Marsh in chorus): Since you released my power, all through the Final Empire--

I send my influence and ash into your House, into your bed,

Down your canals, into your streets, into your drink, into your bread,

Upon your cattle, on your sheep, upon your oxen where they lie,

In through your spikes, into your dreams, until you break, until you die!

I SEND THE ASH TO CHOKE AND REND,

I AM THE END!

MARSH: Once I had a brother, we fought to kill a god and free the skaa-- this isn't what we wanted...

RUIN: I SEND THE TREMORS FROM THE EARTH, I SEND THE ASHES RAINING DOWN! 

MARSH: And even now, when I'm the puppet of a monster,

Killing all Kell's friends at Ruin's call-- is the last thing that I wanted!... 

RUIN: I SEND A PALL OF DEADLY MIST ON EV'RY CITY, EV'RY TOWN!

MARSH: This was my home-- all this pain and devastation, how it tortures me inside!

All the innocent who suffer, ever since old Rashek died!

RUIN: I send my pawns abroad to kill in ways this world has never seen,

The cities drowning in the blood until there's no one left to scream! 

DESTRUCTION YOU CAN'T COMPREHEND, 

I AM THE END! 

MARSH: Beautiful Destroyer, he whispers to you through your earring there! 

RUIN: DESTRUCTION YOU CAN'T COMPREHEND

MARSH: Your mind is tainted, be aware...

RUIN: I AM THE END!

MARSH: He is the END!...

ELEND: You were Kelsier's brother, how could you let Ruin twist you so? Is this what you wanted?

RUIN: I SEND THE ASH TO CHOKE AND REND

ELEND: I see Preservation's plan now,

And never mind how high the cost to me,

Now I truly see--

We will never let your body free!

RUIN: I AM THE END!

MARSH: He is the END!

ELEND: We will not let your (his) (MY) body--

ALL: FREE!...

One Direction’s “What Makes You Beautiful”— Elantris Edition...

Spoiler

What Makes You Magical by Aon Direction

You’re insecure

Don’t know what for
You’re turning heads while you’re using the Do-o-or
Don’t need makeup
To cover up
Being an Elantrian is eno-o-ough
 
Nobody else in the world can use it
Nobody else but yo-ou
 
Your skin just lights up my world like nobody else
The way you flip your white hair gets me overwhelmed
When you draw Aons at the ground it ain’t hard to tell
You don’t kno-o-ow
You don’t know you’re magical 
 
Oh baby if only I saw what you can see
I’d understand why you make it look so easy
Right now I’m looking at you and I can’t believe
You don’t know-o-ow
That's what makes you magical
 
So c-c’mon
You weren’t wrong
Just needed a chasm line all alo-o-ong
And you knew why
You didn’t lie
So effortless, it’s like you didn’t even try-y-y
 
Nobody else in the world can use it
Nobody else but yo-ou
 
Your skin just lights up my world like nobody else
The way you flip your white hair gets me overwhelmed
When you draw Aons at the ground it ain’t hard to tell
You don’t kno-o-ow
You don’t know you’re magical 
 
Oh baby if only I saw what you can see
I’d understand why you make it look so easy
Right now I’m looking at you and I can’t believe
You don’t know-o-ow
That's what makes you magical
 
(Repeat to the end, I guess…)

If the Final Empire ever gets made into a movie, they need to use this remix for the trailer. It's even called Survivor, it's perfect! 

 

Um, yes please! Seriously someone needs to make a fan-trailer with this.

For Way of Kings you'd need a prologue song exactly like the one from Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812:

Spoiler

There's a war going on out there somewhere, and Honor isn't here...(4x)

This is all in your program, you are on Roshar

You're gonna have to study up a little bit if you wanna keep up with the plot

It's a complicated epic novel, there are like 900 names

So look it up in your program we'd appreciate it, thanks a lot

da de da, da de da, da de da....

Shallan!

Shallan is young, she loves drawing with all her heart (she loves drawing with all her heart)

Shallan is young, and Honor isn't here

Kaladin is good, the first Windrunner, bonded to Syl (first Windrunner, bonded to Syl)

Shallan is young, Kaladin is good, and Honor isn't here

Dalinar is old school a war lord, the Blackthorn Gavilar's brother uncle to the king (Gavilar's brother uncle to the king)

Shallan is young, Kaladin is good, Dalinar is old school and Honor isn't here

This is all in your program, you are on Roshar

You're gonna have to study up a little bit if you wanna keep up with the plot

It's a complicated epic novel, there are like 900 names

So look it up in your program we'd appreciate it, thanks a lot

da de da, da de da, da de da....

Adolin!

Adolin is hot, he spends his money on women and wine (He spends his money on women and wine)

Adolin is hot, Dalinar is old school, Kaladin is good, Shallan is young, and Honor isn't here

Szeth is truthless

holds an honor blade, the assassin in white (holds an honor blade, the assassin in white)

Szeth is truthless, Adolin is hot, Dalinar is old school, Kaladin is good, Shallan is young and Honor isn't here

Jasnah is smart and proud and determined

Gavilar's daughter, sister to the king (Gavilar's daughter, sister to the king)

Jasnah is smart, Szeth is truthless, Adolin is hot, Dalinar is old school, Kaladin is good, Shallan is young, and Honor isn't here

glowing spheres and colored wine, the storm can't touch us here!

Minor characters:

Dowager Navani is passionate, and Elhokar is weak

Jasnah's family. Totally messed up

and Wit is just for fun! (Wit is just for fun!)

Wit is fun, Navani is passionate, Elhokar is weak, Jasnah is smart,Szeth is truthless, Adolin is hot, Dalinar is old school, Kaladin is good, Shallan is young, and Honor isn't here...

 

If you've never heard of this musical, go listen to the prologue right now. They managed to set up a big chunk of War and Peace in four and half minutes. Amazing.

After this there would be the whole "Pierre" number where Kaladin could expound about his emotional state. It's perfect.

She's been living in her lighteyed world
I bet she's never had a darkeyed guy
I bet her mama tried to kill her child

I'm gonna try for an lighteyed girl
She's been living in her sky broam world
As long as anyone with hot blood can
And now she's looking for a darkeyed man
That's what I am

And when she knows
What she wants from her time
And when she wakes up
And fakes up her mind

She'll see I'm not so tough
Just because
I'm in love with an lighteyed girl
You know I've seen her in her lighteyed world
She's getting tired of her Adolin
And all her parents keep her locked away
She's got a choice

Lighteyed girl
You know I can't afford to buy her pearls
But maybe someday when my bridge caves in
She'll understand what kind of guy I've been
And then I'll win

And when she's walking
She's weaving so fine
And when she's talking
She'll say that she's studying

She'll say I'm not so tough
Just because
I'm in love
With an lighteyed girl
She's been living in her sky broam world
As long as anyone with hot blood can
And now she's looking for a darkeyed man
That's what I am

Lighteyed girl
She's my Lighteyed girl
You know I'm in love
With an Lighteyed girl
My Lighteyed girl
You know I'm in love
With an Lighteyed girl
My Lighteyed girl
You know I'm in love
With an Lighteyed girl
My Lighteyed girl
You know I'm in love
With an Lighteyed girl

Minor WoR spoilers. Lighteyed Girl, for all you Shalladin shippers out there. Parody of uptown girl.

How about a mistborn edition of Something Just Like This?

 

Spoiler

I've been reading books of old, the legends and the myths

The nobles and their goals, the mistborn and their gifts

The Lord Ruler's control, and Preservations mists

And the skaa were getting fed up with all this

Kelsier put on a show, he made up for the rest

All the skaa were simply waiting for the master of the mist

The chosen hero, the power to live

The survivor of hathsin, the hero of ages

 

He gave hope to the hopeless

Do do do do do do

Do do do do do do do

Do do do do do do

Oh he gave hope to the hopeless

Do do do do do do

Do do do do do do do

Do do do do do do

Oh he gave hope to the hopeless

Oh he gave hope to the hopeless

 

I've been reading books of old, the legends and the myths

How Vin had overthrown, the previous status

Ruin was a foe

Who held the highest risk

But that didn't stop Vin from ascending it

She never gave up her hold, continued to persist

Nothing would stand in her way of preventing everyone's death

Another hero, chosen of the mists

The most important one to Preservation's intent

 

Oh she was destined for greatness

Do do do do do do

Do do do do do do do

Do do do do do do

Oh she was destined for greatness

Do do do do do do

Do do do do do do do

Do do do do do do

Oh she was destined for greatness

Oh she was destined for greatness

 

Where'd everyone go?

He couldn't even think

Being in the spotlight was new even for Sazed

He was no hero, or so he had wished

But here was his salvation, the belief he had missed

To the lyrics experts out there, somebody gotta do 'Another Day Of Sun'. I haven't seen it here, or maybe just missed it? 

Just think about it. 'Another Day Of Storm', by Stormlight Archive cast. It has to be made. There are mentioned lights and rythms, it's perfect.

I tried myself a bit but all I achieved are just fragments like:

Quote
Without a nickel to my name
Hopped a world, here I came
Could be brave or just insane
We'll have to see!
 

:D I have no skill to make this work, so I'm just throwing an idea! Maybe someone will accept the challenge?

Hmm, I'm working on Elantris rendition of Closer rn. Seems like Chainsmoker songs are a pretty good fit for this.. here's what I got so far:

Spoiler

Hey, its been ten years since the Reod destroyed you

The Aons may not work anymore but its ok

Hey, you tell your people we're really sorry

But I know you will recover again

 

It terrified us all

Earthquake shatterring the work of gods

And nobody saw

The truth behind what really made Elantris fall

And I can't stop

No I can't stop

 

The ruins marking crisis from the shadow of Elantris

Counting down until they strike

Fjordell piercing any weakness

Everything is looking hopeless for the nations left alone

As the march of time advances

Everything is left to madness

 

Wait, there has to be a good solution

All the aons drawn do nothing, this is insane

Hey, I think I got the right idea

We just have to add more lines in the right place

 

I know I'm getting far

It's just that I need more than working hard

And I cannot stall

Every second leads us closer to the war

And I can't stop

No I can't stop

Trying to think up Call of Elantris and Spirit of Elantris approriate 2nd and 3rd choruses respectively..

To the tune of I'm Your Moon by Jonothan Coulton

 

Hey Kal you're a Windrunner
That's why you glow
I wasn't going to tell you
But it turns out, you're pretty slow
I keep telling you to relax
I keep saying there's one thing they can't take

I'm your spren
You're my knight
And we are Radiant
From up here, all of your worries just seem so small
Promise me
You will always remember who you are

Let yourself trust your bridgemen
Watch them learn and grow
We're the ones who are leading
Teaching them how far they can go
You don't have to save everyone
Sometimes you have to help them save themselves

I'm your spren
You're my knight
And we are Radiant
From up here, all of your worries just seem so small
Promise me
You will always remember who you are

Who you were
Long before
Tien left you
Alone

You could probably date Shallan
She could make you smile
She hasn't even said oaths yet
So I think you've got quite awhile
And if that does not work out
I will always be right here next to you

I'm your spren
You're my knight
And we are Radiant
From up here, all of your worries just seem so small
Promise me
You will always remember who you are
