Music Inspired By: The Fall (Preview)

[Andy Jammer]

Music is a huge part of our lives, and this arc has no shortage of music, which is why some movies have two types of cds. An official soundtrack -orchestra music- and an Inspired By -which has songs from bands-. The official will be longer to put it, but the Inspired by is easier AND you all can have some influence on what songs go in.

This though is the preview, you get to hear three of the songs that will be on the ...cough, "CD".

Track 2: Still Counting by Volbeat.

Track 5: Enemies by Shinedown.

Track 7: Stand Up by All That Remains.

Forgot to add this. Everyone has an option of contributing one song (per person, not per character) for the Music Inspired By, there are some rules though...

1. Absolutely no joke songs. No Llama song or anything because it makes you look like an asshole. And you contribution will be rejected period.

2. Songs that fit are needed, I highly doubt Justin Beiber's
"Baby" fits ANYTHING that is going on in this arc. No Alessia's babies don't count either. On the subject of songs like J-Rock, thats a 50/50, may be accepted may not. If you submit a J-Rock song and its get rejected you can submit another song.

3. Try to refrain from Character Themes, that stuff is saved for the Official. You can have a song that strong represents Roxa/Seigmand/Duo etc, but you cannot 'claim' it as a character theme.

Optional, but not required: When you submit a song, explain why. Why this song? What about this song that strikes you as fitting? The more explanation the better for if we see what you see, it'll have a higher chance of being used.

Omae no XXX de Ten wo Tsuke!

No I haven't gone insane nor did a small cat just attack my keyboard. We need a song that makes you feel uplifted and hopeful and ready to take on the world, and for that I recommend this sucker here.

As to why this song is fitting, it's because its light and flickering tempo gives a sound of not just adventure, but boundless travel. Maybe it's just me but just hearing this makes me think of oceanic travels, and I can easily imagine this playing while our characters cut through the vast waters towards a new destination.

If that ain't your bag, then I also recommend Bottom Feeders. It's got a sweet and vibrant track with an eclectic and almost alien sound to it that I think fits perfectly with the idea of battling monsters and creatures, something that it seems we'll be doing a lot more this arc than ever before.

Anything and everything in Shadows of the Colossus. It's a game that hits the tones that a lot of other fantasy games miss, combining the standard sets of discovery and mysticism with a hint of unease and dread. If you don't think SotC fits, then you haven't played it. >.>

And yes, I know I already gave my suggestion for this thing, but until other people start jumping on this thread and offering up ideas I'm just gonna keep posting as they come to me.
