Summarize your Character in Song

Mar 26, 2006 LeberMac link
Was thinking about this tonight on the drive home, and I would summarize LeberMac in VO with the following two tunes:
AC-DC's "Shot Down In Flames" and "Have A Drink On Me".

I think both relate well to both the combat side of things and also my attempts at RP, especially the double meaning in the "Shot Down In Flames..."

Yeah, it was a long boring drive home.

Hmmm... interesting.

I think Jex is very nicely defined with that "kill the wabbit" metallica song, Jayce with the "Pretty fly for a white guy" one and Joyce with that "Sandra Dee" one from Grease.

Cake's "He's Going the Distance" and Motley Crue's "Without You"for Erik/Blue Streak. He has self-worth issues >_>

Powerman 5000's "Riot Time" for Miles.

ummm AC/DC's Who made who? and / or Evanesence Taking over me.
But then you need to know where the name comes from to understand those two.

ctishman's "The Ballad of Lady Serco" for Kuwabatake Sanjuro.

The Dire Straits' "Brothers In Arms" for toshiro kanchou.

R.E.M.'s "World Leader Pretend" for toshiro.

R.E.M.'s "Crush With Eyeliner" for banshee.

Kenji Kawai's "Making of Cyborg" (Ghost in the Shell OST) for Leela

Revision 1. jex, if you're that jealous of the ballad, why not write your own one?

Hummm... okay, how about "As I am" - from Dream Theater's Train of Thought©2003, published by Ytse Jams, Inc. (ASCAP)

Two reasons: because I sux at trying alts... and I'm a progressive sort of guy... :)~

(and if you actually listen to the lyrics, you'll see what I mean)

Mogul Velaio, about a month ago:


Gary Numan Bleed (Sulpher Mix)

Someone is talking
But it's not conversation,
Sounds more like a voice in my head.
It says
'I live in nightmares
I'm the new god of panic
And I'm waiting for you to come home to me.

'So boy, welcome to sleep
I'm gonna make you, make you, make you bleed.'

I could be dreaming
But then maybe that's fatal.
There's nowhere to hide in your dreams.
I'm so uneasy
I'm shaking and nervous.
I'm alone in my room and I'm scared of it.

So, don't let me sleep
It's gonna make me, make me, make me bleed.

My mother told me
'Don't believe in ghost stories.
There's nothing to hurt you in here.'
But she was wrong
And now it's come back to haunt me.
It says it won't leave me alive for long.

I don't want to sleep.
It's gonna make me, make me, make me bleed.


Now, it's more like


Anne Clark Nothing At All

All this tenderness has come to nothing
All that we require is being rearranged
I've no wish to look to the future
For my exspectations will no doubt be changed

Just rolloing along on the rest of the waves
My statements and strategies are quickly dismissed
Poisoned pens in invisible paper
Steel knuckles concealed by velvet fists

What is the chance of us living
Some of our simplest dreams
Are all the structures we build here
Really as frail as they seem

The dying are the lovers of this modern world
The power and the glory survives
With radio active bargaining
And the valueness of our lives

My turn to crumble
My turn to fall
From so very humble
To nothing al all.

It must be heard to be fully appreciated. Parts 1-6.

This is just a taste - it goes wildly awry from there: http://www.brainwashed.com/lpd/music-teargarden.html

Eh! I have that album. it's amazing how few people know that recording because it's truly awesome.

Mind you, much of what cEven Key did was awesome anyhow. Add Kaspel's voice and you have something nice.

For more of this combo, cEven key's "The Dragon Experience" has a track with Kaspel, and so did "The Ghost In Each Room" too.

mgl_mouser: YOU, sir, have excellent taste in music.

Numan is coming to my locale in August - can't wait.
Jun 17, 2006 mgl_mouser link
August 5th, Numan is in Montreal. :D
