Theme music for Stormlight characters.

[Doc12]

Hey guys, 

 

Has this been done before? If it has, I can't find the forum. Anyway, I've been listening to a lot of two steps from hell lately, and one song popped up that I immediately thought "Shallan". 

 

The song is Illusions, and storms does it fit her. To me, at least. Her lies and illusions, and how she has to tear them down, and it also fits her powers as a Lightweaver. As the music intensifies, you can hear that anguish and yet so much wonder and beauty. I just see Shallan in my head casting illusions, revisiting her mother's death, speaking truths and facing herself. 

 

That's some powerful music there.

So anyway I wanted to share this, and ask you guys what other songs have you found that just fit a character from Roshar?

There is this one about all of Brandon's books (can contain various spoilers): http://www.17thshard.com/forum/topic/21433-theme-songs/page-8#

I can't really think of a specific theme song for any character, but there are lots of Kaladin fight scenes that I think go with some instrumental metal.

I heard some sort of inspriational montage music playing in Words of Radiance when Kaladin is learning how to Lash himself. Especially when he is flying in the open air, windspren flying around him, and finally grabs that rock spire and they break around him. I just got the coolest mental image as that scene unfolded.

 

Perhaps Son of Man, by Phil Collins? Perhaps too light-hearted, and perhaps too much of a plagiarism of Tarzan, but it fits well I think. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-udx1ojowws

I think someone did theme music for a few of the characters on Musescore.
