I saw someone mention character theme tunes on ROER2 and I also saw Allen write a song for himself on this board, so I figured a thread for both would fit here. I'd rather not be too specific.
I don't write music or songs, I don't even write poetry so I doubt I will ever write a full-blown song. I write fanfiction and do roleplay too much to bother with them. However, I have a good taste in music (like most people I would think) and I know when I hear a good song. I've found two tunes that I think make good character themes and I will post them here.
At first I thought "Battle with Gilgamesh" made a nifty battle tune for Frato, but events in ROER2 have led me to this brilliant song:
WWE Edge theme lyrics
[ Lyrics found on www.metrolyrics.com ]
You think you know me
On this day I see clearly everything has come to life
A bitter place and a broken dream
And we'll leave it all, leave it all behind
I'll never long for what might have been
Regret won't waste my life again
I won't look back
I'll fight to remain:
On this day I see clearly everything has come to life
A bitter place and a broken dream
And we'll leave it all behind
On this day it's so real to me
Everything has come to life
Another chance to chase a dream
Another chance to feel
Chance to feel alive
Fear will kill me, all I could be
Lift these sorrows
Let me breathe, could you set me free
Could you set me free
On this day I see clearly everything has come to life
A bitter place and a broken dream
And we'll leave it all behind
On this day it's so real to me
Everything has come to life
Another chance to chase a dream
Another chance to feel
Chance to feel alive
There was a different verse in the version I heard, I might post it later when I find it.
The second is a song I've listened to quite a lot and I think it suits our very own Eudemic. I bet our ROER2 pirates might want to take this as well.
Supertramp - Land Ho Lyrics
(From http://www.seeklyrics.com)
Dreaming nothing to do
Dreaming nothing to say
Can I say there’s nothing to dream about
Or something keep us moving away?
I said land ho, will I be sailing forever?
Oh-oh i need some wind to take me to my goal
Land ho, will I be dreaming forever?
Oh-oh I gotta find an anchor for my soul
Wind is all far I can see
When I’m feeling to strife
For days something that’s calling me
Oh, somethig that’s so hard to find
I said land ho, will I be sailing forever?
Oh-oh I guess I feel my ship is getting old
Land ho, will I be dreaming forever?
Oh-oh I gotta find an anchor for my soul
I said, when you're alone there's not a sail in sight
There’s a great sky and you may just try to take life*
There once was a lady made me feel alright
But she couldn't stay, she just sailed away
Now this only waves to see me through the night
Maybe I'll always be sad
And maybe there'll always be strife
Drifting alone with a saddened tone
Afloat on the ocean of life
I said land ho, you’re sailing ship on forever?
Oh-oh I need some wind to take me to my goal
Land ho, will I be searching forever?
Oh-oh, I gotta find an anchor for my soul
Will I be sealing forever?
Will I be dreaming forever?
Will I be searching forever?
Forever, forever, forever, forever, forever, forever
*I think it's "There's a grey-dead/great dead sky that may just try to take your life"
What do you guys think? Any themes of your own to add?
