Gamma Fiend he/him Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 For some reason I associate this theme with Mistborn. (I don't even play Skyrim). There are several climactic moments (Vin drawing in the mists, Kalading saying the second oath,etc.) where I just think "Insert-Awesome-Cosmere-Theme-Here". I don't know what this theme sounds like. but I know it has really load drums and soaring french horns. Eh. Dragonborn, Mistborn. Close enough. (and yes that music is very epic. Thoroughly enjoyable to whoop on dragons to that tune)
Cromptj he/him Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 New world symphony 4th movement, somewhere. Probably the final battle in Hero of Ages or some as yet unwritten battle in SA. Ravel's Bolero for any Szeth assassination. Climactic moments should be accompanied by the cannons in the 1812 overture. All climactic moments should have this music enclosed with the book. 1
Melaan Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 Finnaly sat down and read Warbreaker and Elantris. So here are some new songs to add to the list. -- Has anyone found any good 'Alloy of Law' music? If you find a song refering to Kandra AND Alloy of Law then you get extra points. Warbreaker demons -- imagine dragons The light in me --Brandon Heath (This was the first song I decided matched the book, It's funny, but I was only like, five chapters in at the time) Goodbye – secondhand serenade You Decide -- Fireflight Elantris Mercy in Darkness -- Two Steps from Hell Somewhere out there – Linda Ronstadt and James Ingram In your sight – Kerrie Roberts First time – life house (I think this is my favorite from the list, fits Roaden and Serene fer well.) let my people go -- From The prince of egypt movie (LOL Harathern LOL) he is not one of us (Also for Harathen) Nobody lives without love - From Batman Forever Nightmare – Secondhand serenade serenade (Probabbly by other favroite for Elantris. It even mentiones letters like Raoden and Serene were sending back and forth)
Moash Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 Mistborn Kelsier vs Lord Ruler- Re-Education by Rise Against Mistborn- Satellite by Rise Against The Way of Kings Kaladin's theme- Help Is On The Way by Rise Against Kaladin in Words of Radiance helping Elhokar before the books climax (when he gets a visit from Syl again)- Alive and Well by Rise Against. I listen to them a lot but those songs really fit these books well for some funny reason.

Atium Burned Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 Glad I am not the only one who listens to five finger death punch while reading Sanderson's work. Their songs fit Kelsier so perfectly, especially "The Pride." Also great for Vin and Kaladin.
Shaggai Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 Practically anything by Two Steps from Hell works for the Stormlight Archive. Particularly good ones: United We Stand - Divided We Fall - Dalinar Kaladin General Stormlight Archive
Melaan Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 I don't think it's been mentioned yet, but somebody made an 8track playlist here that is wonderful for Stormlight. I've been listening to it for three days straight.Radiants Rising 1
FeatherWriter she/her Posted May 31, 2014 Author Posted May 31, 2014 Ah, that's Kogiopsis' fanmix! I'll have to let her know you enjoyed it!
Kogiopsis she/her Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 Haha, so it is! Glad you like it, Melaan! 1
Melaan Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 LOLWell then I get to thank you in person. . sort of. Thanks for the wonderful mix
Cracknut he/him Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 (edited) Knights Radiant anyone? 2:50-3:05 especially Edited May 31, 2014 by Cracknut
Chrono she/her Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 (edited) I've found that for Stormlight Archive, I've binged the Legend of Korra soundtrack from Season One. Since Roshar is such an alien planet, I feel that the Erhu that the soundtrack utilizes makes it seem foreign and familiar at the same time. I've always listened to during the amazing climax of Words of Radiance. fits the Shallan flashbacks perfectly.When Szeth shows up for the first assassination attempt against Elhokar, I always listen to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bL1kzvvmMsk'>this.

Modal Seoul he/him Posted May 10, 2017 Posted May 10, 2017 Hoid: More Than a Feeling I think the overall nostalgia of the song fits with Hoid's personality. (Also, it;s just a great song.) Szeth: DAFT PUNK!!! Brandon has said that he listens to Daft Punk to get into the feel of Szeth's actions and temperament. Kelsier: Seven Nation Army This is sort of self explanatory. Marsh: Hurt by Johnny Cash This fits Marsh so well, especially in later books. (Ignore Patrick Stewart's voice at the end. Replace "Logan" with "Marsh") Lightsong: Mr. Blue Sky by ELO THIS FITS SO WELL WITH HIS SCENES!!!! Bridge Four: Be A Man (Mulan) (Note: @Mestiv #notnecroing)
Stormrunner1730 Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 "What Are You Going To Do When You'Re Not Saving The World?" by Has Zimmer (Man of Steel Score).- Anyone of these three scenarios: 1. Kaladin flies/falls for the first time. 2. Right before Kaladin fights Szeth (and during the fight). 3. When Kaladin says the Windrunners' Third Ideal.
Draginon he/him Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 I could see some Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts songs being used for the Cosmere.
Syghts Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 (edited) Fort Minor - High Road Dalinar - Fort Minor - Believe Me Dainar & Sadeas - Although their break was more of I am going to take you down. Frenship - Capsize Kaladin & Tien - Just switch up a little bit of the words and the song fits almost perfectly. Instead of the love song it is, switch it up to more of a brotherly love song and of course Kaladin always getting capsized with him having to start over. Jack Savoretti - Soldiers Eyes Kaladin - Fits well but not at any one specific time of his military career in WOK and WOR. Edited August 15, 2017 by Syghts
ryshadium90 Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 Neither of these are "real/published" songs. Or at least I don't think so, but they are so good, and were specifically written for Wax and Wayne, and Vin. Also, Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, and Princess Mononoke soundtracks are pretty good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8KGK4pTCGA
Iarwainiel I she/her Posted August 18, 2017 Posted August 18, 2017 How great is this thread! The most surprising thing to me is that all y'all's musical selections are songs with lyrics ... for me, I imagine something more like movie soundtracks and/or orchestral music. Does anyone have suggestions for music thatreminds them of the Parshendi? Maybe something with a lot of percussion?

All I can really think of is Enya and the Pure Moods 2 soundtrack, like Montezuma, but I feel like those won't cover the more aggressive nature.
Stormrunner1730 Posted September 13, 2017 Posted September 13, 2017 "Defying Gravity" from Wicked for any of Kaladin's flying scenes besides the Szeth fight.
