Character Karaoke!

[lunagraves714]

Using your characters, have them "sing" the lyric that they most relate to. From Fate of the Silent City:

Fate: You can't wake up, this is not a dream! You're part of a machine, you are not a human being! With your face all made up, living on a screen--low on self-esteem, so you run on gasoline. I think there's a flaw in my code! These voices won't leave me alone... ~Gasoline, Halsey

Reaper: All my friends are heathens, take it slow. Wait for them to ask you who you know. Please don't make any sudden moves, you don't know the half of the abuse. ~ Heathens, 21 Pilots

Mackenzie: ALL MY LIFE I'VE BEEN GOOD, BUT NOW, WHOOOOAAA WHAT THE-- ~What the Hell, Avril Lavigne

Fate: LANGUAGE!

Mackenzie: * glares * Fine. Think what money could bring, I'd buy everything! Clean out Vivienne Westwood in my Galliano gown. No, I wouldn't just have one hood, a Hollywood mansion if I could. Please book me first class to my fancy house in London town! ~Rich Girl, Gwen Stefani

From Super:

Tara: Karaoke? I guess I could try... I've tasted blood, and it is sweet. I've had the rug pulled beneath my feet. I've trusted lies and trusted men, broke down and put myself back together again. Stared in the mirror and punched it to shatters, collected the pieces and picked out a dagger... ~Nightmare, Halsey

Myung: * clears his throat *

Min-Soo: Wait, wait, you're a rapper! Please, spare us the embarrassment and don't sing...!

Myung: * narrows his eyes at him before continuing * Yeah, I've been catching planes for the fun of it. Then I've been watching fame turn to punishment. The weather's only sunny when I'm under it, and I haven't really changed, yeah, I'm just confident. I'm just f#cking lucky, I was born with it--a hundred million people couldn't deal with this. ~Into It, Chase Atlantic

Min-Soo: ...better than I expected. Here goes-- Here comes bad news, talkin' this and that! Well give me all you got, don't hold it back. Well, I should probably warn you I'll be just fine! No offense to you, don't waste your time! Because I'm happy! Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof! Because I'm happy! Clap along if you feel that happiness is the truth! ~Happy, Pharrell Williams

I'm not usually good at these, but I think I did all right! From The Love of a Werewolf -

Kia - "Someday I'm gonna break these chains, chains, shackles and chains!"

Jackson - "One day our population is gonna rule the generation, so I keep waiting, waiting. Waiting on the world to change"

Wren - "And when the night is cloudy there is still a light that shines on me
Shine until tomorrow, let it be"

The rest of Super:

Chung-Ae: * looking less than amused and trying to bring the mood down to his level * I just wanna fly to anywhere but where we are so, take me away and take me high and take me far. 'Cause paradise is a place that's far from home, and lately all I ever see is everything I've ever known. ~Paradise, Ryan Caraveo

Min-Soo: Don't mind him, he's usually pretty quiet.

Jae: * takes over to lift the mood again * 'Cause we are, we are shining stars. We are invincible, we are who we are! On our darkest day when we're miles away, so we'll come, we will find our way home! If you're lost and alone or you're sinking like a stone, carry on! May your path be the sound of your feet upon the ground, and carry on! ~Carry On, Fun.

Sunni: Sinister place, we've only got each other. The sky is crashing down, I know it's strange! When heaven's a mindset away. Is everybody going crazy? Can't get to you lately, we're so hopelessly faded! Is anyone else feeling lonely? It just can't be me only! Losing our cool so slowly! It would feel so good to spend some time, it would feel so good to make you mine! ~Is Everybody Going Crazy, Nothing But Thieves

Tara: Crazy is an understatement...

Joonie: Ah...uh... Oh, I'm a gummy bear, yes I'm a gummy bear! Oh, I'm a yummy, chummy, funny, lucky gummy bear. I'm a jolly bear, 'cause I'm a gummy bear! Oh I'm a movin', groovin', jammin', singin' gummy bear! * slowly shrugs when his friends turn to stare at him * ~Gummy Bear Song, Gummibar

Literally Everyone:

Sang: Some legends are told, some turn to dust or to gold. But you will remember me! Remember me for centuries! And just one mistake is all it will take. We'll go down in history! Remember me for centuries! Thought we could end on a high note, you're welcome.

@WillowTree I love the second song you chose!

None of my characters are really brave enough to do karaoke but I spent a chunk of yesterday making a playlist for my novel, so here's some relevant lyrics anyway.

Kat: "Lost my faith/Made mistakes/Kept myself awake/Just to see how it felt to be strung out/And I can say that I've changed/That I'll keep you safe/I'll be fine/Don't give up on me, I'll come around." ~"Fireworks", Sleep On It

Kody: _"I'm a liar, I'm a cynic/I'm a sinner, I'm a saint/
I'm a loser, I'm a critic/I'm the ghost of my mistakes."_ ~"Some Kind of Disaster", All Time Low

Mitch: "What can I say?/I guess it's obvious you would end up this way/When you live amongst the dead/The best of luck/As the one and only resident skumfuk/A victim or just a tragedy?" ~"Scumf*k", Sum 41

Marten: "Pass the test without an answer/Feed the cancer/Learn the dance and take a bow/Pray that they will never find out/Clean my mind out/No more fear and no doubt now." ~ "Suburban Doxology", I Fight Dragons

Raina: "I hear the leather on his voice/It's a calling not a choice/And I can't keep myself from following the sound/Yeah, you may never know/How fast that you can go/'Til someone lifts your feet up off the ground." ~"We Run", Sugarland

Krysten: "Innocence, your history of silence/Won't do you any good/Did you think it would?/Let your words be anything but empty/Why don't you tell them the truth?" ~"Brave", Sara Bareilles

Sam: "In my head like a damn stampede/Corvette mindset, vroom vroom, high speed/Full throttle in the wrong direction/I just guess I'll call it even/With my favourite weapon (bang bang)." ~ "Me Myself & I", Joel Faviere

That’s fun. From Effy - The living efficiency
Effy: “ I have no right to complain, I have to pretend to pretend, I have to shine, I have to sign, I have to never trust you blind. Professional, professional, professional distortion!” Miss Kittin

Hey guys, I'm wondering how do you choose your songs when you go to the karaoke? The first thing I look at is the duration of the song, because I believe anything longer than 4 minutes is too much. I also never sing sad songs or songs that are being sang by everybody almost all the time. I basically choose something that is somehow in between. Since I am a country music fan, I like to sing mainly country songs. I use MultitrackMaster to practice my favorite songs before I go to a karaoke, just to make sure I'm confident when I sing it because even though it isn't a song contest, I like to sing a song good enough.
