I just realized how well Fly With The Black Swan, by Sonata Arctica, fits Vasher's darker side.

I mean, look at some excerpts from the lyrics:

"Once I got caught in an avalanche,

I must have died,

When the Black Swan flew to the rescue and cried

An offer I could not refuse, now I'm working on the other side."

"Must keep those black wings folded, until the time is right,

to find the one whom I can steal a soul from, to buy more time

Must keep my secrets untold, until the wrongs are right, the only one I could deceive,

I buy my time; need you to fly on the Black Swan"

"Silver lining, sharp and so cold

anger fades into a weak smile

--- you see, I'm ready to do it for everyone

I stabbed you in the back, who will save you now?

Don't worry, I've done this before

It'll hurt like hell and leave you sore

No use escaping, hold on to your ticket of gold

and close your eyes..."

"Must keep those black wings folded, until the time is right, to find the one whom I can steal

a soul from, to buy more time

Must keep my secrets untold, until the wrongs are right, the only one I could deceive,

I served my time, need you to fly with the Black Swan"

As If The World Wasn't Ending, by Sonata Arctica, for Dalinar and Navani's romance, although it could fit Vin and Elend to some degree.

Lyrics:

Started a dangerous game that's not won by

The person who made the first move

Chose to be targeted by all those eyes

And now, some of you think I'm a fool...

I guess I am guilty, I'm only a man

But this world is imperfect too,

But that just has to do...

I chose not to hear what the smart people said,

And instead played my cards like a fool

Every day took a chance to get caught in the fire,

These flames do not burn like I do...

I wait in line to be hung by the neck,

until everyone sees I'm right

I need to have my chains

Removed and hide here

While the spotlight's seeking me...

Forget the world for now, my Love,

And live these days with me

As if the world wasn't ending...

Masks removed we hide here

While the spotlight's seeking me...

Forget the world for now, my Love,

And live these days with me

As if the world wasn't ending...

Take me where I cannot hear

The people calling me...

Pour Whisky, Brandy, Vodka...

Come and live this night with me...

As if the world wasn't ending...

EDIT: and since I suggested it on other thread, and it fits so well yet I don't think it was mentioned here,

Wolf and Raven, by Sonata Arctica, for Szeth-son-son-Vallano, Truthless of Shinovar

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7IAciMgyWo&feature=youtu.be&app=desktop

Lyrics:

Grant me a wish, my master

Take heed of me,

I have been loyal servant

Heartfelt, humble

Gave up - what belongs to me

Gave up my greed

My self-examination

Made me see, to be me

I am now like Judas, done

Ashamed of what I've become

Fear for life I wear as a ring

To bask in your favor, I will kill the king

You say I am invincible

I cannot die,

I know, but anyway

The words, they maim me

Grant me a wish, my master

Compassion, please

I'd like be a human

...Maybe one day

I am now like Judas, done

Ashamed of what I've become

Fear of life I wear as a ring

To bask in your favor, I will kill the king

[Entreaty:] let me go

Master, I hate you so

How can I sleep my nights

When my whole being cries

I tried to be like everyone

Open my soul

But what I had to give

Resulted loathing

Enchanted by the power

Licked by the grace

One beautiful black flower

The end of the human race

With pride now face my faith

King and Queen now lie in state

Fear for life I wear as a ring

I bask in your favor, I have killed the king

[Entreaty:] let me go

Master, I hate you so

How can I sleep my nights

When my whole being cries

I had a nightmare

The Wolf eating The Raven

Entrails of life on my plate

And I ate 'em..

Interested in what I see

Try that Rorcharch test on me

Have you seen the beauty of the

Enticing beast

[Entreaty:] let me go

Master, I hate you so

I cannot sleep my nights

When my whole being cries

Eye of the Tiger. Kelsier.

Rising up, back on the street

Did my time, took my chances

Went the distance, now I'm back on my feet

Just a man and his will to survive

So many times it happens too fast

You trade your passion for glory

Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past

You must fight just to keep them alive

It's the eye of the tiger Mistborn

It's the thrill of the fight

Rising up to the challenge of our rival

And the last known survivor

Stalks his prey in the night

And he's watching us all with the eye of the tiger Mistborn

"The Riddle" from Scarlet Pimpernel for Shallan, especially WoR era. I mean, just look at some of these lyrics:

 

So you see how virtue repays you

you turn and someone betrays you

betray them first

and the game's reversed!

 

And we all have so many faces

The real self often erases

Enticing lies flicker through our eyes

Feel the terror draw ever nearer

The more you stare in the mirror

But hold your own

Face the wind alone

Reel on, love! Toughen your scars

Year by year we're falling like stars

'Til there comes a day when we sell our souls away!

 

For we all are caught in the middle of one long treacherous riddle

of who trusts who

maybe I'll trust you

but can you trust me?

Wait and see!

Hm... Right now most of cosmere is in the epic fantasy medieval stage so it seems appropriate that we post the orchestral epic kind of stuff like Two Steps From Hell.

 

But how about music conveying that XIX/XX century wild west steampunky feel of Second Scadrial Era?

I personally can't wait for cyberpunk of Fourth Era to post the awesome dubchestral music.

 

Also, I wouldn't mind some ancient classic setting, like Ancient Greece or Roman Empire...

War of Change by Thousand Foot Krutch is definitely WoR Dalinar.

 

Edit:  Hurricane by NEEDTOBREATHE is totally the army just before the final fight in WoR.  Lyrics:

 

Its like a hurricane is coming our way,

we've all been warned but we still chose to stay

I can't belive it now the time has come.

Blue Eyes - Within Temptation for Shallan (not sure if she actually has blue eyes, but the rest of the song fits)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhrMggjXiiE

 

Paradise (What about us) - Within Temptation. Initially for New Elantris, but also fits for the desolations and the final battle in HoA.

I absolutely love how character-filled the Touhou game's music is, so I decided to try to think of what Cosmere characters would fit each song. Sorry for the weeaboo-ness.

Renarin-September Pumpkin(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3A-ieD418M). 

Shallan-Illusory Joruri(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ge71HoKN_0s). Or Love-Colored Master Spark(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RBJ4NMOBV0).

Sazed-Emotional Skyscraper-Cosmic Mind(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhlXhaS3OkU). 

Breeze-Old Yuanxian(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K96VIem5os4). 

Susebron-Bhava-Agra As Seen Through A Child's Mind(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFLOT2pO3NE) or Faith Is For The Transient People(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaqeawuY0r0).

Hoid-Hartmann's Youkai Girl(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wEHo_uUgZ0). Yes, the title is feminine, but christ. Alternately, Necrofantasia(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygy6O9kVt7U).
