Characters as Songs!

Tagged by @magnus-s-writes (i hope you’re ready for a lot of music)

Some of you may know that I am, a bit of a playlist whore enthusiast. I have several for Safe in the Dark, as well as individual ones for most characters and certain scene types.

I’ll take after Magnus and do all my characters for Safe in the Dark, and for shoots and ladders I’ll do Antonella + co from That Witch Lives and Breathes, because I wanna talk more about that story.

So, we’ve got a bit of a list to get through, let’s go.

Alex Blackwood (Safe in the Dark)

There is always and forever one song for me that will bring me back to whatever I need to write for Alex.

Shake it Out by Florence + the Machine And I am done with my graceless heart So tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart

Daniel Arden (Safe in the Dark)

This is a new addition to Daniel’s list, but it’s been on repeat for three weeks for me, so.

Bleed Out by The Mountain Goats And I will never lose hope, and I haven't lost hope I'm just realistic I will go down punching, but I will go down And my corner man won't bring me back around

Moira Hart (Safe in the Dark)

A lot of this band on Moira’s list, but specifically

Divide and Conquer by Vandaveer When you crash for the evening Do you laugh, do you feel things? Does it cross your mind When you cross the line?

Jesse Addison (Safe in the Dark)

There are so, so many I could give for Jesse BUT

Born to Run by Bruce Springsteen Oh, baby this town rips the bones from your back It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap We gotta get out while we're young 'Cause tramps like us, baby, we were born to run

Isaac Raes (Safe in the Dark)

Smoke Damage by Hi I’m Case I'm not about to complain That's too much time and energy Too long a walk to try to turn back And today was the same I nearly dodged a bullet But the universe is going on attack

Carrie Verona(Safe in the Dark)

You’re Not Welcome by Naethan Apollo I don't start fights but I'll handle you just fine Usually I'm very kind to others But I won't think twice if you step to me or mine

Thomas Pianfetti(Safe in the Dark)

Two by Sleeping at Last It's okay if you can't find the words Let me take your coat And this weight off of your shoulders

Eric St. Clare (Safe in the Dark)

Show me how to live by Audioslave Let the stains remind you You thought you made a man You better think again

Madeleine LaRoux (Safe in the Dark)

Love will have its Sacrifices by SOLES There's no way for you to fight this No spell for you to right this No way for you to hide From the demon of the light

Amalthea(Safe in the Dark)

There are tons I could pick for Thea that are more menacing but…

Thought Contagion by Muse They'll never do what you want them to Give it up and watch it break through It's too late for a revolution Brace for the final solution

~*~

Antonella Wilwick (That Witch Lives and Breathes)

Hymn for a Scarecrow by Tally Hall Real is a feeling and feeling is real All of you are flowing through me But you wouldn't know how to fathom or feel When the wind blows!

Fenwick (That Witch Lives and Breathes)

Constellations by The Oh Hellos The shapes that you drew may change beneath a different light And everything you thought you knew Will fall apart, but you'll be all right

Captain Endora “End” Maxwell (That Witch Lives and Breathes)

Hungover in the City of Dust by Autoheart Insolent and out of character We've changed so much I barely recognise our formative lives Hidden deep, deep, deep underground

Leir (That Witch Lives and Breathes)

Ship in a Bottle by Fin Pulling ropes and pulling your head back To see what is breaking the foremast You set sail alone, there is no crew No one on the deck who can help you

And that's all!

I say, as though that isn't a mile long.
