Okay, I know this is a bit OT, but this is RP-related and I’m the RP staff so I say it’s fine.

Right, so here’s the deal…we’re making an OST of sorts for FA. Ohhh, exciting! So it’s kinda like pretending the RP is an anime and we’re making a soundtrack for it. We need theme songs, background music, character themes, things like that!

Basically, the songs can be anything. All you need to do is see if the songs music, feel, and lyrics fit the RP and then just post it here and Kaya and I will see if it’s good. If you have a song in mind, it’d be great if you could give me the lyrics and an MP3 of the song so we can hear it.

Everyone who’s a part of the FA RP, I need a character theme from each of you. You can also talk with others if you want your character to have a sort of double-theme with another character, but you’ll still need one for your character. For instance, Luffy and Zoro have a theme for both of them together, and then each of them has their own song. Ohhh, exciting!

You can pick out an existing song or make one from scratch, but making one from scratch will be pretty hard…

For your character’s theme it doesn’t have to seem like a song your character would sing, so long as it fits their personality.

You can also submit music for the theme song (we do need a theme and ending song, after all!), background music, insert songs, anything! Once we’re got everything I’ll put it together as one file and set it up for download, complete with a cover and everything!

So come on, let’s get started!

Songs We Have So Far

Angels Losing Sleep by Our Lady Peace-- Forgotten Angels theme song

A Song of Storm and Fire from Tsubasa Chronicle— Angel’s Theme/Dramatic insert song thing

Ordinary Day by Vanessa Carlton-- Luffy's theme

Boulevard Of Broken Dreams by Green Day-- Zoro's theme

Not Gonna Get Us by Tatu – Zoro and Luffy’s theme

She's Always a Woman by Billy Joel-- Nami's theme

Honey by Chihiro— Hikaru’s theme

Alpha by Vangelis-- Flent's instumental theme

I Am the Killer by Thursday -- Zev's Theme

Breaking The Habit by Linkin Park-- Kyo's theme

Haunted by Evanescence-- Kyo and Momiji's theme

Butterfly by Aqua-- Ryoko's theme

If It Wasn't For You by P.O.D-- Leon's theme

Pavement Cracks by Annie Lennox-- Coryn's theme

A Ship of Fools from Tsubasa Chronicle—Insert song/ Yumi and…the government guy whom shall remain nameless for plot’s sake’s theme

Somebody Else’s Song by Lifehouse

Conquest of Paradise by Vangelis – The Inzen’s theme

Voices Silently Sing from Tsubasa Chronicle—Renith’s theme

Sound the Bugle by Bryan Adams -- Sora's theme

Catch You Catch Me from Cardcaptor Sakura-- Yasha's theme

Hyme by Vangelies

Don't Stop Me Now by Queen

Asleep in the Chapel by Thursday

Windmill Hut from LoZ:OoT-- Hikaru's "panic mode" song

And that’s all we’ve got for now! So come on guys, let’s get moving!

Voices Silently Sing is news to me, I shall have to bum it off of you. You also forgot to say who it was by.

Somebody Else's Song is by Life House, and Conquest of Paradise is by the composer Vangelis.

And we forgot to add Alpha and Hymne, also by Vangelis. Alpha is Flent's instrumental theme.

Catch You Catch Me, the first opening theme of Card Captor Sakura, is Yasha's theme. Is Sound The Bugle by whatshisface still Sora's theme, Crys?

We should also throw in Don't Stop Me Now by Queen. Kill the Queen!~

And the Windmill Hut from the LoZ:OoT OST should be Hikaru's 'Panic Mode' song. X3

And do we even need a reason to include King of Sorrow from the Klonoa 2: Lunatea's Veil OST?

I'm still trying to decide Flent's main theme....

Oh, I think this is the best idea ever! I would be writing some songs if I had the right software, but I don't. Heck, all I have is my laptop, in which 95% of the hard drive space is One Piece episodes.

Anyway, I think I have some good ideas for songs. Three, actually. You should take a look at them. I think they go along with the theme pretty well.

Hmm... this is going to be one long post.
EDIT: The song names are the links
======

'Kay, here's my idea for Leon's theme. If you guys think the lyrics are too "Religeous," that's okay, I'll find another song. Just listen first, please.

P.O.D. If It Wasn't for You

Do I believe in the resurrection of CHRIST?
And did HIS death bring forth new life?
And did HE raise up and bring back Lazarus from the grave?
And is there supposed to be a second coming?
Am I wrong because I’m wondering
why the fallen Babylon is up and alive today.
And do I really believe in the mark of the beast?
Cause he's still dwelling up in my streets,
Strapped and ready to fight this war.
And he's got more guns than you and me.
But most people don't wanna believe,
That they still prejudice simply because we poor.
Do I believe that Mother Teresa was a angel on this earth?
And thou shall love thy neighbor even if he acts like you?
Do I believe in Heaven or Hell?
Shoot, hell yeah I do, cause we alive today,
And my crew is living proof.

If It Wasn't For You
None of this would ever mean a thing
If It Wasn't For You
Tell me why else would I believe?
Would I believe?

Do I believe that the rider of the white horse,
Is coming back for the righteous?
And the morning star keeps gettin brighter every day.
Is there such a thing as good and evil?
Still division amongst the people,
And we're not all created equal just because you say.
Do I believe in the trinity, and will I live eternally?
Even though I'm not quite the saint that you claim to be.
Did Dr. Martin Luther have a dream?
Was Haile Selassie a king?
And is it ok to sometimes feel a little bit confused?
Will armageddon never come?
I'm not perfect, just forgiven.
And I might just push back the next time you shove.
Do I believe in one God, one aim and destiny?
Just don't forget your first love,
That's what my moms use to tell me.

If It Wasn't For You
None of this would ever mean a thing
If It Wasn't For You
Tell me why else would I believe?
Would I believe?

If It Wasn't For You
Then none of this is for nothing
It's all for nothing!
****
It's all for nothing!
It's all for nothing!

If It Wasn't For You
None of this would ever mean a thing
If It Wasn't For You
Tell me why else would I believe?
Would I believe?

If It Wasn't For You
None of this would ever mean a thing
Would I believe?
If It Wasn't For You
Would I believe?
If It Wasn't For You
Would I believe?

****chatter in the background sounds like
TV reports on a school shooting****
"I can't see how many people are dead, but 23 wounded
======================================

Yeah, these next two are just ideas for the opening and ending(or something else) themes. I think they go perfectly well with each other, the first with the "starless night" lyric and the second with "the stars shine so bright." They also go well with the "Angels" theme, I believe.

Kevin Max: Existence

David Crowder*Band: Stars


================================


Finally, thanks for taking the time to listen to these. 8)
This idea for this rocks!

Mmm... nice songs. And it's your decision about your character's theme, really, but we'll see what Crys thinks.

The sort of 'opening' theme for FA was supposed to be Angels Losing Sleep by Our Lady Peace, but neither Crys nor I can find the song. Does anyone have it?

Oooh, I listened to some clips of that song, "Angels Losing Sleep." It sounds awesome. You may have to download it for 99 cents or 10 cents or whatever. I'm still looking!

I am still working on uploading my song (or, one of.. I'm not sure which to use) for Ryoko, but I did a quick search and found, like, almost 300 hits for Angels Losing Sleep ^^'' I can download it and send it to you or Crys if you'd like.

Leon's theme is fine, Takumi, I like it. ^^ Admittedly it's more about Christ and such...but eh, if your character's a christian, be my guest. I for one heart christian music, so I'm fine with it.

Kitsune, if you downloaded "Angels Losing Sleep" for me I'll love you forever.

All right, character profile theme song... things x3

I Am the Killer - Zev's Theme
Tuesday wakes up silent
And there aren't enough pills to sleep
And then it cuts out like miswired shortwave radio
It's over
But nothing can change to ever make it right
When you live in a nightmare
It's written all over your face.

And in a short time
You're never the same again
The distance is streamlined
Between decision and defense:

Distorient the senses
Loss of identity
No one to trust

Life runs through this trade
I am no killer
But I still hide my face
In the coming days

I wake up every morning
From the same dream
And then I kill it
But you can't change the letters when the ink dries

I woke up on the sidewalk and everything just changed
Now the lights are blinking but I can't see anything

Everything is falling apart:
Crumpled paper
Crushed tin cans
Broken bottles
Paper scraps
We all look the same
We all look the same
But I am the killer


Now... Zev was almost easy (I narrowed it down to three Thursday songs and this one just fit the best. I thought a slower, softer song would work better for him (and almost used Enya's La Soñadora, but Zev's not too spanish. ^^), but I am stuck between two songs for Ryoko. They are as follows.



Butterfly - Ryoko Theme One

Yes, this is Aqua's butterfly. I'm not sure how many might need the lyrics, and I only put up the ones for Thursday because sometimes it's hard to understand them. ^^'


Blue Weekend - Ryoko Theme Two

Translation:

At the train station platform
on the way back from the beach
our shoulders lightly touch,
and we feel uneasy.

I drifted away from you
just a little bit on purpose
going against my heart
that is tipping towards you.

Twilight at the sparkling beach,
shadows overlap.
The border of the beach
where friends turn into lovers.

The blue sounds of the tide
flood into my heart.

The summer that I was in love,
we were barefoot, ah...

Blue, blue weekend...
Blue, blue weekend...

I can't be alone anymore...

Now. I love this song to pieces. But it almost seems cheap to use it... It's the opening theme to Real Bout High School, where Ryoko is, well, from >> So. What dost all of you think? ^_^



Finally, another Thursday goodie... This is a song I was considering for Zev, but it didn't fit him well. It's a bleeding awesome song, though, and I think it fits with the RP. ^^' I, again, will include lyrics. Some lines are like... WTF, what?? >>


Asleep in the Chapel
Three chalk outlines sleep in the dirty street
And in our beds
Under the sheets
They're the halo of guilt hanging around your neck
Next to the rosary
You count, falling asleep
And we're praying to treat the symptoms of letting go of all our
hope
Since we can't compete with martyred saints
We'll douse ourselves in gasoline
And hang our bodies from the lampposts
So that our shadows turn into bright lights
White light
White heat
We'll make as we're blacking out in the center lane
We swerve to the beat
Spill all the ink
No revisions
Do you hear the church bells ringing?
Wake up!
Wake up in an outline
and try to speak with the shattered voice of the lives we lead
Have we slept too long
Between the bullet holes in a stained-glass window state?
When we repent
We fall on the page
Read, in the margins
We are the symptoms of letting go of all our hope
Someday we'll be complete like modern saints
Baptize our kids in gasoline
And hang our doubts up in cathedrals
So that they turn to faith in the colored sunlight
"Red rain, Red Rain"
We'll make as we're blacking out in the center lane
Do you hear the church bells ringing?
They ring for you
We woke up this morning to a street filled with a thousand
burning crosses
And what we thought was the sunrise
Just passing headlights
Still the choir girls sing
"Oh lord, can you save us? Can you save us?
Oh lord, sing hallelujah"
"Oh lord, can you save us? Can you save us?
Oh lord, sing hallelujah"
They are the symptoms of letting go of all our hope
We're falling asleep with open eyes
Falling asleep inside the chapel
Falling asleep in chalk outlines
Falling asleep as the headlights pass us by..


I am seriously done now.

DUDE, Kanthia said Usopp's should be "Usopp no Hanamichi" WHICH IS TRUE.

And I was thinking of "Holding out for a Hero" for Kaya, but it's still up in the air, as I don't have that song on my comp. But other than that...

Gesh, Kanthia has a tentative song for Nami. The lyrics are okay, but the tune is a little too laid back. So Kanthia NEEDS YOUR HELP!

YAY!

She's Always a Woman
/Billy Joel

She can kill with a smile
She can wound with her eyes
She can ruin your faith with her casual lies
And she only reveals what she wants you to see
She hides like a child
But she's always a woman to me

She can lead you to live
She can take you or leave you
She can ask for the truth
But she'll never believe you
And she'll take what you give her as long as it's free
She steals like a thief
But she's always a woman to me

Oh, she takes care of herself
She can wait if she wants
She's ahead of her time
Oh, and she never gives out
And she never gives in
She just changes her mind

She will promise you more
Than the Garden of Eden
Then she'll carelessly cut you
And laugh while you're bleedin'
But she'll bring out the best
And the worst you can be
Blame it all on yourself
Cause she's always a woman to me

She is frequently kind
And she's suddenly cruel
She can do as she pleases
She's nobody's fool
But she can't be convicted
She's earned her degree
And the most she will do
Is throw shadows at you
But she's always a woman to me

Wow, Kanthia. Those Lyrics are just about perfect.

===========================================

Ummmmm................... "Hardware Store" by Weird Al
Okay, I know that there's almost no chance of that getting in, but it's good for a laugh, right? Possible names: "Screwdriver theme," "Breaking stuff theme," "Leon on caffine theme."

===========================================

I think this one goes with Angels/Losing/Sleep pretty well. I'm not really meaning to nominate two P.O.D. songs, but this one does feel pretty good for the whole "Forgotten Angels" thing. I had forgotton about it yesterday. It's the theme song from "The Matrix: Reloaded". I don't know what theme it would be for, maybe a "Forgotten" theme or something, or like a filler song.

Sleeping Awake

Hmm... maybe the "We're scared of the mysterious poeple who want to kill us" theme... or the "We have cool powers but can't tell anyone so we're lonely" theme.

but even in death the righteous have a refuge.

Kitsune: I'm thinking Butterfly for Ryoko, since the other one is her regular anime theme.

Kanthia: Oh, that song's perfect! Now we just need a copy of the song...

Takumi: Hmm...interesting song, I'll think about it.

Come on guys, we still have tons more characters to get themes for!

I'm working on it... I have a couple of ideas in mind for both Kyo and Zoro, but I need time home alone to go do it, and I'm not getting much of that right now.
I've felt this way before. The world goes deafeningly silent. I hear my heartbeat thundering in my ears. This must truly be... the brink of death.

I hear it. The breath of his steel. A katana follows will...

All that's left... is to see if I truly have the power to cut steel.

I've been told that 'Always a Woman' by Billy Joel is my theme song. Zomg funnah. XD And Kanthia wins major points for liking Billy Joel songs.


I've been thinking about Flent a lot, and for some reason I keep coming back to my first idea for his song--which, if I'm not mistaken, started this whole idea of the soundtrack, actually. You can all blame the song Bad Day by Daniel Powter. Lyrics are as follows:


Where is the moment we need at the most
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
They tell me your blue skies fade to grey
They tell me your passion's gone away
And I don't need no carryin' on

You stand in the line just to hit a new low
You're faking a smile with the coffee to go
You tell me your life's been way off line
You're falling to pieces everytime
And I don't need no carryin' on

Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day

Well you need a blue sky holiday
The point is they laugh at what you say
And I don't need no carryin' on

You had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day

(Oh.. Holiday..)

Sometimes the system goes on the blink
And the whole thing turns out wrong
You might not make it back and you know
That you could be well oh that strong
And I'm not wrong

(yeah...)

So where is the passion when you need it the most
Oh you and I
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost

Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
You've seen what you like
And how does it feel for one more time
You had a bad day
You had a bad day
