Was just chilling around and listened to music and then I got this idea! If your characters had your own theme each song, which song would it be? It can even be a song that one of the character feelings, expresses to another character.
My character Aled Winter from Silver Tears is pretty much a quiet guy. I can’t tell you all much about him so it won’t spoil. But because he’s a vampire, he has been on some rough stuff. That has an impact on his mental health. He doesn’t smile, don't laugh a lot. Just have the same stern expression. But then he finds this werewolf child and though the story the child gives him ”life” again. That’s all I can say, folks!
And there is the song that pretty much tells about who Aled feels for the child.The song is Turistens klagan (The Tourist's lament) by Cornelis Vreeswijk. It’s an old one, but still good! The song tells a story about an old man on a vacation. He’s depressed and though the song, it’s hinted that he wants to take his own life. But the only thing that keeps him from not taking it, it's the children's laughter and happiness that he hears from the streets.
Here's the first paragraph of that song's lyrics ~~
”It sings a few kids at Karl Johan. They sound strong and fine as only kids can. I myself am behind bars at my hotel. One evening behind the barricade, an ordinary evening.
Over my head flies a black vulture. In the room next to mine sings a funny lady. And I'm tired and hesitant, but their singing is happy. If there are no kids, then I´ll quit.”
Ps. I counldn't find no good verision on youtube. But you can find the whole ver on spotify.
I don’t know, but I just relate mine character Aled with this song. How about you all?
Does your character have its own theme song?
