Cosmere-music?

[marsoupial they/them]

Hey guys! 

I figured I'd take part in the whole creative-thing, but since I cannot draw or write particularly well, and music is my forte, I figured I could take inspiration from the Cosmere (or any Sanderson) to write. 

I would love some suggestions, like "dark emotional ballad based on Vin and Elend's undying love" or "bridgeman work song".

Any suggestions will be acknowledged and much appreciated.

I'm thinking, like, high-energy electric guitars, with heavy drums. And some strings thrown in there.

I'll put it on the list. 

EDIT: I'll start a list. 

LIST

 - Kaladin Stormblessed fighting the Assassin in White above the Clashing Storms

 - Shallan's lullaby

 - Fleet and the Storm

 - Maybe some listener tunes

 - Lift's theme

 - Return of Bridge Four (Battle of the Tower)

 - Battle of the Tower

Character themes would be great.  Definently one for Lift.

The return of Bridge 4 (For the scene from WoK when the Bridge returns to save the Battle of the Tower) 

The Battle of tower needs it own piece.

@Tharatariel10 Did a few of these, like

I myself have been working on a concept with Highstorms, but I haven't done anything on it for about 4 months.

I don't mean, like, incidental music or character themes, I mean songs with lyrics and all. Ideally enough to fill a concept album.

I'm not sure about the others, but Song of Secrets has actual lyrics and is based around the Parshendi Song of Secrets in the epigraphs.

Edit: Shallan's Song also has lyrics, Kaladin Remembers doesn't.

Sazed searching through all of the religions for truth reminds me of Stare at the Sun by Thrice. 

Kalidan when he was mopey (understandably so) in Way of Kings reminds me of My December by lincoln park.

The battle at the end of words of radiance when they start the charge reminds me of Through the fire and the flames by Dragon force

How about something about Szeth and his journey? That would be interesting right?

Heh, heh. Nice pun. 

Anyway! Ideas!

A song about the return of the KR, maybe involving all of the main KR in their journey becoming (or being, or whatever) part of the group. Might not have enough information on everybody yet, but you could touch on what "broke" them so to speak, and how they rose above it. I don't know, hopefully that made some sort of sense.

You could do a piece, maybe something like a hymn, about Kelsier, as if it's been made by a member of the Church of the Survivor, then maybe (spice it up a bit or something) you could have a complementary piece, following a variation of the theme, from the perspective of Vin/the crew. (Variations on a Theme of Kelsier? Sorry, that's a really bad music joke.)

Maybe a song showing the growth of Elend's character, as he goes from young noble boy, to the insolent son, to the court eccentric scholar, to the inexperienced king, to the Mistborn, to the emperor. I don't know (I've nearly finished a Mistborn era 1 reread in 6 days, and I've just remembered how much I love Elend)

Anyway, just some new ideas if you wanted them, so... yey?

Oh my! This whole concept escaped me as school took over and finals and all, so thanks for reminding me!

I've had some free time lately (and will continue to have free time for the next few weeks) so I think I'll work with some of these. All of them are great, the Elend thing in particular, because he's one of my favorites. 

It's 2 AM, so I'll work on these at a more reasonable hour.

Thanks, Cal.

(one day later)

Hey, @CalypsoDreaming, I worked on the Kelsier idea first and came up with sort of a Survivorist ballad, rather than a hymn, with a more solemn two extra verses from the POV of his crew.

Gonna start work on the Elend thing right away. Any suggestions?
