TheDarkDesperado he/him Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 (edited) Most of mine are gonna be wrestling related, sorry it's just how my brain works. Take it away Mean Gene! Kaladin: "Burn in My Light" by Mercy Drive/Orton's old theme https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3_YSLYfE5E I'm going more for tone than lyrics, a little arrogant, very defiant, all awesome. Odium/ The Voidbringers: "Catch Your Breath" by CFO$/ Finn Balor's theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rHHk7Jhd2o No lyrics, and no need for them, the perfect feeling of dread and gets across the threat. Galivar: "King of Kings" by Motorhead/One of HHH's themes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fH2mf_DFxeM Second most obvious one here. Sadeas: Jake "The Snake" Roberts Heel Theme, "Trust me" :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxGzgrjKrWs Disingenuous and slimy, the perfect theme for a snake... and Jake Roberts. Bonus!!! Zane: "Voices" by Rev Theory/Orton's Theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWCCRi6W2eY ...title kinda says it all... Edited June 1, 2015 by TheDarkDesperado
DreamEternal Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 (edited) I Love You, by Woodkid is a wonderful song for Navani in Way of Kings, when she almost fells that Dalinar hates her and he is doing his best to supress his feelings for her. Counting Stars, by OneRepublic for Dalinar getting tired of doing war for money and seeking a more meaningful life for himself and all of Alethkar. Oh, and Home, by Phillip Phillips, for the Shallan flashbacks when she tried to make life better for her brothers. Edited June 5, 2015 by CognitivePulsePattern 1
The One Who Reads he/him Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 (edited) I knew I had a song for Shallan somewhere!! LINKIN PARK- Numb Key lyrics- "Can't you see that you're smothering me, holding too tightly, afraid to lose control?"- Shallan says pretty much this in regard to her farther trying so hard to hold his family together. "I've become so numb, I can't feel you there"- Shallan becoming 'numb' over her a certain incident and forgetting and nearly killing Pattern. "Become so tired, so much more aware"- Lightweavers don't speak oaths they speak truths about themselves."I'm becoming this,"- Shallan has frequently gone along with something only to find out she actually gets too comfortable in the role (e.g. Jasnah's wardship where she went to steal a soulcaster and ended up falling in love with 'scholarship') this follows into "all I want to do Is be more like me and be less like you"- This is pretty much Shallan's plot-line her growing (and in my opinion misplaced) self-confidence, learning to be her own person. Less notably- "Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes"- Shallan thinks she is the only person left who knows about the oncoming desolation, Jasnah's shoes are mighty big ones to fill indeed. "every second I waste is more than I can take"- I might be twisting this one a bit but to me this fits perfectly into how Shallan refuses to acknowledge events that have happened to her. Her subconscious will not allow her to waste time on what has happened. Not the fact that her mother tried to kill her, nor Shallan's killing of her own mother as a child not even the killing the farther who destroyed himself to protect her. Later on she is even surprised to recall she killed Tyn. Shallan is not a Kaladin or a Dalinar who keeps their failures and fears close, she has seen from her family how that does not work. Living without her distractions would be "more than" she could "take". Well I am glad I got that off my chest, seriously Shallan is such a well-written character.

Shattered he/him Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 (edited) I think that Kansas - Carry on Wayward Son is perfect for Kaladin. And even though this is a bit off-topic, I haven't found a thread like this in the Mistborn forum, so I'm just going to put this here. This song is definitely the best for Ruin: Metallica - Master of Puppets Edited June 7, 2015 by Shattered Logic
Sasori he/him Posted June 8, 2015 Posted June 8, 2015 (edited) Nightwish-10th Man Down: This song reminds me of kaladin, in its time on the bridges. Edited June 8, 2015 by Sasori 2
DreamEternal Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 I think it fits the Heralds as well, I mean: "In the fields a dying oath... I'd kill them all to save my own" Is the breaking of the oathpact, and: "I alone, the great white hunter I'll march till the dawn brings me rest 10th patriot at the gallow's pole!" Is Taln. 1

I thought about that too, but paragraph that reminds me of Kal is: "One by one, We will fall, down down Pull the plug, End the pain, Run´n fight for life Hold on tight, this ain´t my fight" It is a good song for the theme, dont you think? xD 2
