#but yeah I was listening to it semi-recently and my brain just went 'VITD song now'

Goo Goo Dolls - Fearless [Official Lyric Video] by Goo Goo Dolls

Another recent add to the list of songs that make me think of my Valicer In The Dark AU! Admittedly, I wasn't entirely sure why at first -- my brain just went "yes, this has the right vibes" one day. XD But after a few more listens, I've decided the lyrics DO fit the VITD crew rather well. Stuff like "Some days will be harder than others/so we gotta lean on each other" describes their dynamic well, while the pre-chorus "We're living in a world unfair/We're living in a world so scared" is an excellent description of Duskwall, and especially their adopted neighborhood of Six Towers (which is essentially a big old slum made out of abandoned rich people houses). And the chorus! Not only do you have to be fearless to be a scoundrel in Duskwall, it suits their own personal situations well -- conquering their personal demons and discovering how happy they can be together. :D Plus it's one of those songs where I can easily make up my own mental music video of the gang having adventures to the lyrics, so -- yeah. Good stuff all around, can recommend. :)
