Theme Song

Postby MisterQwerty » Fri Dec 31, 2010 8:25 pm

Pick a major-ish character from the books, and give them a theme song, with a link to it on youtube or something.

EX:

Achilles
Song: I can Ride my Bike with no Handlebars[/url]

I couldn't understand why you used that as Achilles theme song for the example, but after listening to it for a couple of times, and remembering of what kinda person Achilles is, it makes sense-ish :D

Yeah, it's probably not the best, but at times it's nearly perfect. Also, the whole song is kinda building up the singer's power, until "My reach is Global. My tower; secure. My cause is noble. My power is pure!" is when he's in the hegemony after kicking Peter out. Then it just dies down as he realizes that, with all his power, his screwed himself over.

And then singing "I can ride my bike with no handlebars" at the very ends is him trying to remind Bean of back when they were in Rotterdam.

Then, kaput.

I'd have to say it's more of a "Bean/Achilles" or even "Peter/Achilles" theme

Locke's theme

Postby Locke Delphiki » Thu Jan 27, 2011 11:05 pm

Okay bare with me here, Locke's (and to a lesser extent peter's) theme is "Clint Eastwood." By Gorillaz

Two ones for Ender:

"Broken" by Bruce Dickinson.

and

"Oblivion" by Mastodon.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6WGNd8QR-U

That last one is a bit far-fetched, but just imagine the entire Ender series while listening to that song.

I've never thought about those! I'll surely give them a re-listen.

Jane:

"Starblind" by Iron Maiden.

Graff:

"Cyclops" by Bruce Dickinson.

Bean:

"Lunar Sanctum" by Kamelot.

We can shed our skins and swim into the darkened void beyond
We will dance among the world that orbit stars that aren't our sun
All the oxygen that trapped us in a carbon spider's web
Solar winds are whispering, you may hear the sirens of the dead.

Miro's Theme

Postby Penny » Tue Apr 12, 2011 10:22 am

I think Starlight by Muse fits Miro perfectly.

Especially at the end of Speaker for the Dead, but it can also apply a bit to Children of the Mind when he's afraid of losing Jane and Young Val.

I can see why you chose this song. It's actually almost perfect.
I'd have to say it's more of a "Bean/Achilles" or even "Peter/Achilles" theme
But I do agree with you. Definitely a Peter/Achilles theme in my opinion.

I've always thought Hero by Nickelback would make a great theme for Ender and the Ender's Game book.

Also, War by 30 seconds to Mars would make a good song for the whole saga

This is a strange playlist we're building.
