Silver Phantom Posted July 20, 2023 Report Share Posted July 20, 2023 (edited) These are my ideas for songs I feel work well with characters. All ideas welcome but please give warning for fowl language. Also I know some of these aren’t great but its what I have so far. Dalinar Kholin - Sound of Silence by Disturbed Shallan - Reflection (from Mulan) by Lea Salonga Jasnah - W.I.T.C.H. By Devon Cole Adolin - Sharp Dressed Man by ZZ Top Kaladin - Hurt by Johnny Cash Kaladin/Vin - Human by Rag’n’Bone Man Kelsier - Prayer of the Refugee by Rise Against Marsh - Animal I Have Become by Three Days Grace Vin - Monsters by Shindown Edited July 20, 2023 by Silver Phantom 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use the Falchion Posted July 30, 2023 Report Share Posted July 30, 2023 (edited) For Stormlight, I usually tie the character themes with the book with their flashbacks, but it's not a set rule. Outside of that, it's usually the books that get theme songs, not the characters. The ones that tie into the characters: Kaladin - "We Rise" by San Holo as well as both "Drown" and "Throne" by Bring Me the Horizon Shallan - Nothing that truly describes her, but I like listening to "On and On" by Cartoon when things are going well in TWOK and "Zephyrus" by Bloc Party when things are going poorly. Szeth - "Kingslayer" by Bring Me the Horizon Dalinar - "Insane Dream" by Aimer is my "anime opening" theme for Oathbringer, as it follows Dalinar's journey pretty much perfectly for me. "Sins of the Father" by Donna Burke is his personal song (and the "end-credits" song for Oathbringer) though, with "Wretches and Kings" by Linkin Park and "Weapon" by Against the Current being Flashback Dalinar's songs. Adolin - "Classic Man" by Jidenna, mostly for the vibes. Spensa - "Tribal" by Kicks'N'Licks, but the whole xKito 2017 Future Bass mix is my Skyward soundtrack. (Starsight gets "Fine" by Mike Shinoda and Cytonic and the Skyward Flight Collection get "Corallium" by Band-Maid) Lift - "PUPA" by Nothing's Carved In Stone Taln - "Again & Again" by Against the Current Ash - "Gravity" by Nothing's Carved In Stone Jasnah - I'm thinking about it just now, but "Swan Song" by Saweetie and NIKI seems like a really good choice. Yumi and Painter - "Lullaby" by Against the Current, "Calling" by Metro Boomin, Swae Lee, and NAV, and "NAMAENO NAI KAIBUTSU (Giga Remix)" by EGOIST On 7/20/2023 at 4:54 PM, Silver Phantom said: Kelsier - Prayer of the Refugee by Rise Against I see your awesome pick, and propose "Survive," also by Rise Against.

External Gills Posted July 30, 2023 Report Share Posted July 30, 2023 Kaladin, according to Bridge Four: Thunderstruck by ACDC, but replace every instance of "thunderstruck" by "stormblessed". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+robardin Posted August 17, 2023 Report Share Posted August 17, 2023 Kaladin, regaining his bond with Syl - Learning To Fly, Pink Floyd Above the planet on a wing and a prayer My grubby halo, a vapor trail in the empty air Across the clouds I see my shadow fly Out of the corner of my watering eye A dream unthreatened by the morning light Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night There's no sensation to compare with this Suspended animation, a state of bliss Can't keep my mind from the circling sky Tongue-tied and twisted, just an earth-bound misfit, I Hoid - I've Been Everywhere, Johnny Cash (but substitute in some Cosmere location names) Allik Neverfar: Down Under, Men At Work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a Lifetime Posted August 25, 2023 Report Share Posted August 25, 2023 (edited) Here are some not-entirely-serious suggestions: Sonne by Rammstein for Dalinar, in part due to some of the lyrics ("Die Sonne scheint mir aus den Augen"; "Und die Welt zählt laut bis zehn"), in part because it was originally written for Vitali Klitschko, then a 6'7" heavyweight boxer, now a 6'7" mayor of Kyiv. Defying Gravity from Wicked for Kaladin. He's through with playing by the rules of the lighteyes' game. You’re Gonna Go Far, Kid by The Offspring for Shallan/Veil. The full lyrics have some naughty words, so here are a few resonant lines: Show me how to lie, you're getting better all the time ... Nice work you did You're gonna go far, kid With a thousand lies and a good disguise Hit 'em right between the eyes And given my profile photo, I should certainly suggest some New Model Army songs. There are a couple that could fit pre-death Kelsier... The Hunt 'Cause not everybody here is scared of you Not everybody passes on the other side No police, no summons, no courts of law No proper procedure, no rules of war No mitigating circumstance No lawyers fees, no second chance And we could spend our whole lives waiting for some thunderbolt to come And we could spend our whole lives waiting for some justice to be done Unless we make our own Burn the Castle You know there's no great lord in the castle – just the courtiers and their men And we're still ploughing up their fields and wishing we could be like them And we build their fleets of armor and we guard their hordes of gold In the hope that they'll protect us but they will not protect us Burn down the castle Burn the castle down Burn the castle For that matter, The Attack could work for the whole revolution-plotting aspect of Mistborn.
