if this has been done before, post a link then delete...
basically, you just post some songs that you think will be suitable for the animorps...
i read somewhere (RAFclassic i think) that Entombment Of A Machine by Job For A Cowboy would be perfect for Crayak(sp?)
-
Animal I Have Become by Three Days Grace is the perfect song to demonstrate the feelings of a controller.
-
The best battle song:

Good Jake song.
Everybody's always talking at me
Everybody's trying to get in my head
I wanna listen to my own heart talking
I need to count on myself instead
Did you ever
Lose yourself to get what you want?
Did you ever
Get on a ride, then wanna get off?
Did you ever push away the ones
You should've held close?
Did you ever let go?
Did you ever not know?
I'm not gonna stop, that's who I am
I'll give it all I got, that is my plan
Will I find what I lost? You know you can
Bet on it, bet on it, bet on it, bet on it
(Bet on me)
I wanna make it right, that is the way
To turn my life around, today is the day
Am I the type of guy who means what I say?
Bet on it, bet on it, bet on it, bet on it
How will I know if there's a path worth taking?
Should I question every move I make?
With all I've lost, my heart is breaking
I don't wanna make the same mistake
Did you ever
Doubt your dream will ever come true?
Did you ever
Blame the world and never blame you?
I will never
Try to live a lie again
I don't wanna win this game
If I can't play it my way
I'm not gonna stop, that's who I am
(Who I am)
I'll give it all I got, that is my plan
(That's my plan)
Will I find what I lost? You know you can
(You know you can)
Bet on it, bet on it, bet on it, bet on it
(Bet on me)
I wanna make it right, that is the way
To turn my life around, today is the day
Am I the type of guy who means what I say?
Bet on it, bet on it, bet on it, bet on it
Hold up, give me room to think
Bring it on down
Gotta work on my swing
Gotta do my own thing, hold up
It's no good at all to see yourself
And not recognize your face
Out on my own, it's such a scary place
The answers are all inside of me
All I gotta do is believe
I'm not gonna stop
Not gonna stop 'til I get my shot
That's who I am, that is my plan
Will I end up on top?
You can bet on it, bet on it
Bet on it, bet on it
You can bet on it, bet on it
Bet on it, bet on it
I wanna make it right, that is the way
To turn my life around, today is the day
Am I the type of guy who means what I say?
Bet on it, bet on it, bet on it, bet on it
(You can bet on me)

Yes, this is the only good song from HSM. The video is pretty redonkulous though. ::)[/spoiler]

Excellent Rachel song
I feel fine
And I can't smile
But I feel the anger coming
Its underneath
I don't know why
It's always overflowing
It's a constant fight
Deep inside
And I wanna forget it
I confess I'm always afraid always ashamed
Of what's inside me
I confess I'm always afraid always ashamed
Of what's inside my head
And I can't breath
And I still feel
But not the way I want to
I'm on the edge I don't' know how
I can escape this nightmare
I confess I'm always afraid always ashamed
Of what's inside me
I confess I'm always afraid, always ashamed
Of what's inside my head
What's inside my head
Wasting away is part of my instinct
I'll runaway, everything I hate
Take this away, help me escape
Take this away
I confess,
Innocence!
Innocence!
Innocence!

Yes, this is the only good song from HSM. The video is pretty redonkulous though. ::)[/spoiler]
Even though I've never seen any of the High School Musical movies... That DOES fit Jake... Dang, I might have to buy the song from iTunes now.
>.>
-
Rascal Flatts - Stand is a song that, to me, would fit just after one of the horrible battles where they don't think they can go on anymore, but realize that the war is worth fighting for.
You feel like a candle in a hurricane
Just like a picture with a broken frame
Alone and helpless
Like you've lost your fight
But you'll be alright, you'll be alright
[Chorus:]
Cause when push comes to shove
You taste what you're made of
You might bend, till you break
Cause its all you can take
On your knees you look up
Decide you've had enough
You get mad you get strong
Wipe your hands shake it off
Then you Stand, Then you stand
Life's like a novel
With the end ripped out
The edge of a canyon
With only one way down
Take what you're given before its gone
Start holding on, keep holding on
[Repeat Chorus]
Everytime you get up
And get back in the race
One more small piece of you
Starts to fall into place
Oh
[Repeat Chorus]

Wow. Cool. I was kinda thinking about posting something like this, but never got around to it.
Anyone else familiar with Overclocked Remix? (well, I know Goom is) One of my favorite OCR albums is Thieves of Fate; it's not overproduced like 90% of the music out there. It sounds authentic. Like folk music made with electronic instruments. Well, enough talk. From that album:
Jake: 05 - Loneliness
Rachel: 09 - Running After You
Tobias: 08 - Scar Sealing Girl {Ignoring the title, just listen to it}
Cassie: 10 - Requiem for Another World
Marco: 12 - Hallucinogenic
I'll give the other's a listen, now.
-
all of thoughs are cool but Scar Sealing Girl for tobias?
i would have gone for Born to be Wild
-
Did you listen? Please do. With your best speakers (the bass line tends to disappear when played through cheap speakers).
That sad intensity... Well I can't put it in words all that well.
But, do you remember the beginning of HBC? Tobias can't sleep because his head's too full? Well, that's the sort of feeling I get from this song.
As for "Born to be Wild"? Well, my first reaction was "aw, no, no way". Then I listened to it and, yeah, that's a decent fit for the reckless Tobias we see towards the end of the series.
-
u see i was right. now iv listend Scar Sealing Girl is kinda good to. if only when he thinks of rachal
-
For Rachel in a battle, this might work. Panic Attack, by Dream Theater. It's a little long, but listen to it.
All wound up
On the edge
terrified
Sleep disturbed
restless mind
petrified
Bouts of fear
permeate
all I see.
Heightening
nervousness
threatens me
I am paralized
so afraid to die
Caught off guard
warning signs
never show.
Tension strikes
choking me
worries grow.
Why do I feel so numb
is it something to do with where I come from
should this be fight or flight
I don't know why I'm constantly so uptight
Rapid heartbeat pounding through my chest
agitated body in distress
I feel like I'm in danger
daily life is strangled by my stress
A stifling surge
shooting through all my veins
extreme apprehension
suddenly I'm insane
Lost all hope for redemption
A grave situation desparate at best
Why do I feel so numb
is it something to do with where I come from
should this be fight or flight
I don't know why I'm constantly reeling
Helpless hysteria
A false sense of urgency
Trapped in my phobia
Possesed by anxiety
Run
try to hide
overwhelmed
by this complex delerium!
-
Tobias would be like every Linkin Park song, especially Numb and Faint
-
That is so true.
CRAAAAAWLING IIIIN MY SKIIIIIIN
Now I have to go listen to this Dream Theater and OCR stuff.
-
Yes, Dream Theater is amazing. I jump at every chance to announce their existence. Their current keyboardist apparently went to Julliard at age 9.
Not kidding.

I've been listening to Nightwish constantly lately, and I never really connected any of the songs to Animorphs. Hmph.
~goes to re-listen~
-
Oh, and Eva - Nightwish (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsB-yIrOBsw): Marco's mom
Eva flies away
Dreams the world far away
In this cruel children's game
There's no friend to call her name
Eva sails away
Dreams the world far away
The Good in her will be my sunflower field
-
somewhat on topic, anybody remember the name of the theme song for the show?
-
no, but i have it saved somewhere
-
the theme song for the show was one of the only good parts about it. to bad it was never made into a full song
-
"Its never too late" by seven days grace always gets me thinking about animorphs it highlights the mood near the end of the series.
(I am not very good at recognising bands with songs. If I got the title or band wrong please tell me.)
-
It's Three Day's Grace. Still, good song, and I really agree that it's good for the mood.
Never Too Late
This world will never be
What I expected
And if I don't belong
Who would have guessed it
I will not leave alone
Everything that I own
To make you feel like it's not too late
It's never too late
Even if I say
It'll be alright
Still I hear you say
You want to end your life
Now and again we try
To just stay alive
Maybe we'll turn it all around
'Cause it's not too late
It's never too late
No one will ever see
This side reflected
And if there's something wrong
Who would have guessed it
And I have left alone
Everything that I own
To make you feel like
It's not too late
It's never too late
Even if I say
It'll be alright
Still I hear you say
You want to end your life
Now and again we try
To just stay alive
Maybe we'll turn it all around
'Cause it's not too late
It's never too late
The world we knew
Won't come back
The time we've lost
Can't get back
The life we had
Won't be ours again
This world will never be
What I expected
And if I don't belong
Even if I say
It'll be alright
Still I hear you say
You want to end your life
Now and again we try
To just stay alive
Maybe we'll turn it all around
'Cause it's not too late
It's never too late
Maybe we'll turn it all around
'Cause it's not too late
It's never too late (It's never too late)
It's not too late
It's never too late
I especially like:
The world we knew
Won't come back
The time we've lost
Can't get back
The life we had
Won't be ours again
-
this may just be me, but i reckon that "Flight Of Icarus" by Iron Maiden would be an alright song for Tobias... basically, it shows the freedom that flying brought him, but he didn't heed the warning, and it came back and it bit him on the a$$
-
I found the perfect one for Rachel. It's called "Down With the Sickness."
Drowning deep in my sea of loathing
Broken your servant I kneel
(Will you give in to me?)
It seems what's left of my human side
Is slowly changing in me
(Will you give in to me?)
Looking at my own reflection
When suddenly it changes
Violently it changes (oh no)
There is no turning back now
You've woken up the demon in me
[Chorus:]
Get up, come on get down with the sickness [x3]
Open up your hate, and let it flow into me
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
You mother get up come on get down with the sickness
You ****er get up come on get down with the sickness
Madness is the gift, that has been given to me
I can see inside you, the sickness is rising
Don't try to deny what you feel
(Will you give in to me?)
It seems that all that was good has died
And is decaying in me
(Will you give in to me?)
It seems you're having some trouble
In dealing with these changes
Living with these changes (oh no)
The world is a scary place
Now that you've woken up the demon in me
[Chorus]
(And when I dream) [x4]
No mommy, don't do it again
Don't do it again
I'll be a good boy
I'll be a good boy, I promise
No mommy don't hit me
Why did you have to hit me like that, mommy?
Don't do it, you're hurting me
Why did you have to be such a ****
Why don't you,
Why don't you just **** off and die
Why can't you just **** off and die
Why can't you just leave here and die
Never stick your hand in my face again ****
**** YOU
I don't need this ****
You stupid sadistic abusive ****ing ****
How would you like to see how it feels mommy
Here it comes, get ready to die.
I don't like all the swearing, and don't think it fits, so if we ignore that part, it's perfect.[/color]
-
Riot - Three Days Grace
It fits with anyone fighting the yeerks, the hosts who are for the most part fighting mentally, the animorphs, ect.
-
Have you guys ever heard "The Eagle and the Hawk" by John Denver? The title always makes me think of Rachel and Tobias. <3 And the lyrics fit Tobias pretty much perfectly, at least for his more optimistic days (except when he says "I am the eagle", lol).
Ohhh, I am the eagle, I live in high country, in rocky cathedrals that reach to the sky.
I am the hawk, and there's blood on my feathers, but time is still turning, they soon will be dry.
And all those who see me, and those who believe in me, share in the freedom I feel when I fly!
Come dance with the west wind, and touch on the mountaintops, sail o'er the canyons, and up to the stars.
Reach for the heavens, and hope for the future, and all that we can be, not what we are.
It's a short song, but I really, really like it.
Also, the song "Lights Out" (I don't know the artist) has one line, that every time I hear it, I think of Rachel saying it to Tobias.
I still set my watch two hours behind.
The song "Brother, My Brother" by Blessid Union of Souls reminds me of Jake and Tom.
Brother my brother
Tell me what are fighting for
We've got to end this war
We should love one another
Oh, can't we just pretend
This war never began
We can try
Brother my brother
We face each other from different sides
The anger burns can't remember why
It's kind of crazy to cause so much pain
Our foolish pride makes us hate this way
We watch our world fall apart
Tell me what good is winning
When you lose your heart
Brother my brother
Tell me what are fighting for
Isn't life worth so much more
We should love one another
Oh, can't we just pretend
This war never began
Tell me why
Brother my brother
Yes
We can try
Brother my brother
Yes
Let's take a moment to look deep inside
and say we're willing to give love a try
we're not as different as we seem to be
there's so much more to me than what you see
It don't have to be this way
Think about the consequences
then turn around and walk away
Brother my brother
Tell me what are fighting for
Isn't life worth so much more
We should love one another
Oh, can't we just pretend
This war never began
Tell me why
Brother my brother
Brother my brother
Tell me what are fighting for
Isn't life worth so much more
We should love one another
Oh, can't we just pretend
This war never began
Tell me why
Brother my brother
-
I had this song for a while, but I just remembered to put it here.
It's a good Rachel song, quite fittingly titled "Animal I Have Become (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbHn1Pgj6Zk)"
I can't escape this hell
So many times i've tried
But i'm still caged inside
Somebody get me through this nightmare
I can't control myself
So what if you can see the darkest side of me?
No one will ever change this animal I have become
Help me believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal
(This animal, this animal)
I can't escape myself
(I can't escape myself)
So many times i've lied
(So many times i've lied)
But there's still rage inside
Somebody get me through this nightmare
I can't control myself
So what if you can see the darkest side of me?
No one will ever change this animal I have become
Help me believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal I have become
Help me believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal
Somebody help me through this nightmare
I can't control myself
Somebody wake me from this nightmare
I can't escape this hell
(This animal, this animal, this animal, this animal, this animal, this animal, this animal)
So what if you can see the darkest side of me?
No one will ever change this animal I have become
Help me believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal I have become
Help me believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal
(This animal I have become)
-
Definatly. Perfect song for Rachel.
By the way do you think the animorphs movie (if it ever comes to light) would have a theme song? and what would they choose (in your opinion)
-
This is one just good for Animorphs overall
Lordi - Beast Loose in Paradise
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_yicaeWWKE&feature=fvw[/youtube]
Somethings moving swarming under rugs
Cold flesh cosy home for worms and bugs
Their children, bad omen, these evil seeds will grow
Dark havens, black ravens, thunder's about to blow
Hell's already here if we are living to die
Beast loose in paradise
Who knows if we're gonna meet in heaven tonight?
Beast loose in paradise
The beast is loose!
The beast is loose!
Madnes rose upon their last of kin
Crazy hungry for another sin
Their children, bad omen, these evil seeds will grow
Dark havens, black ravens, thunder's about to blow
Hell's already here if we are living to die
Beast loose in paradise
Who knows if we're gonna meet in heaven tonight?
Beast loose in paradise
The beast is loose!
The beast is loose!
Vertigo swirls down,
To skeletal,
Wrapped up in a death shroud,
Biting at souls who are ready to fall!
Hell's already here if we are living to die
Beast loose in paradise
Who knows if we're gonna meet in heaven tonight?
Beast loose in paradise
Hell's already here if we are living to die
Beast loose in paradise
Who knows if we're gonna meet in heaven tonight?
Beast loose in paradise
Hell's already here if we are living to die
Beast loose in paradise
Who knows if we're gonna meet in heaven tonight?
Beast loose in paradise

I have an Animorphs playlist that I listen to when I write Animorphs fanficiton, but it most of the songs probably apply to the original Animorphs as much as to my stories:
Animorphs (the intro song form the tv show)

I Must be Dreaming by Evanescence
This is the New **** by Marilyn Manson

-
For me Pearl Jam's "Alive" is the perfect song for when Tobias is crying after he finds out Elfangor is his father.
-
Not all the songs have to be so serious. I choose th obvious.
Aliens exist by blink 182
Hey mom, there’s something in the backroom
I hope it’s not the creatures from above
You used to read me stories
As if my dreams were boring
We all know conspiracies are dumb
What if people knew that these were real
I’d leave my closet door open all night
I know the cia would say
What you hear is all hearsay
I wish someone would tell me what was right
Up all night long
And there’s something very wrong
And I know it must be late
Been gone since yesterday
I’m not like you guys
I’m not like you
I am still the skeptic yes you know me
Been best friends and will be till we die
I got an injection
Of fear from the abduction
My best friend thinks I’m just telling lies
Up all night long
And there’s something very wrong
And I know it must be late
Been gone since yesterday
I’m not like you guys
I’m not like you
Dark and scary, ordinary, explanation
Information, nice to know ya, paranoia
Where’s my mother, biofather
Up all night long
And there’s something very wrong
And I know it must be late
Been gone since yesterday
I’m not like you guys
Twelve majestic lies
-
I think the best song for Cassie would be:
"What if You're Wrong"
What if you're right?
And he was just another nice guy
What if you're right?
What if it's true?
They say the cross will only make a fool of you
And what if it's true?
What if he takes his place in history
With all the prophets and the kings
Who taught us love and came in peace
But then the story ends
What then?
But what if you're wrong?
What if there's more?
What if there's hope you never dreamed of hoping for?
What if you jump?
And just close your eyes?
What if the arms that catch you, catch you by surprise?
What if He's more than enough?
What if it's love?
What if you dig
Way down deeper than your simple-minded friends
What if you dig?
What if you find
A thousand more unanswered questions down inside
That's all you find?
What if you pick apart the logic
And begin to poke the holes
What if the crown of thorns is no more
Than folklore that must be told and retold?
You've been running as fast as you can
You've been looking for a place you can land for so long
But what if you're wrong?
The reason is that I think she's a Christian. She just uses actions rather than words. Read book 19. Only a Christian would even attempt to do what she did in that book.
-
I'm afraid to even comment on this sentence, but...
The reason is that I think she's a Christian. She just uses actions rather than words. Read book 19. Only a Christian would even attempt to do what she did in that book.
So that's to say that anyone who isn't a Christian is incapable of such morality. That any person who reads a different Holy text, or prays to a different God - or perhaps to none at all - does not have the capacity for strong values. If Cassie wasn't Christian, she would have simply killed Karen and Aftran and happily proceed with her life, right?
-
Alright, guys we all know how extremely volatile a topic such as religion is, so let's steer it back on course.
I'm going to take a different route and try a song that's not so moody and/or depressing. It is a little depressing, though, depending on your views.
Meet me Halfway-Black Eye Peas
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiGS_pkxJFQ[/youtube]
It reminds me of Rachel wanting Tobias to morph and stay human, and him refusing to. I suppose it could also show Cassie's viewpoint after the war. Everyone always says "Cassie abandoned Jake....", but no one tried to see it from her view.
Sticking with the whole "Neo-Techno-Soul-Funk" vibe....
Alive-Black Eyed Peas
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUH2j8rEUM0[/youtube]
Again, reminds of Tobias and Rachel. Especially since he seemed devoid of emotion in #54.

Sitting in my room, staring at the wall,
I can't believe it's happening
Once so wonderful, now,
life's a twisted kind of reality, a fantasy
Don't know where to begin
Saw your love for me vanish in a single moment of stupidity
Nightmare this may be, but it is not a dream, ooh
I want to scream; a broken heart still bleeds
Never ever talk, never ever smile
Knowing that my life won't be the same
Never ever touch, never ever feel
I will never hear you call my name…again
In my dreams I see, see you come to me; a memory of times of old
Waking up, I realize Hell's as cool as ice
and the touch of sin did get me in
Nothing burns like the cold
Never ever talk, never ever smile
Knowing that my life won't be the same
Never ever touch, never ever feel
I will never hear you call my name...again
As we sin, so do we suffer
I've fallen from grace, want to turn back time and make it undone
Guitar Solo
Never ever talk, never ever smile
Knowing that my life won't be the same
Never ever touch, never ever feel
I will never hear you call my name
Never ever talk, never ever smile
All I see: a future full of fear
Never ever touch, never ever feel
I can never whisper in your ear…I'm sorry

"Set Me Free" by Casting Crowns would be an awesome song for Tom:
It hasn't always been this way
I remember brighter days
Before the dark ones came
Stole my mind
Wrapped my soul in chains
Now I live among the dead
Fighting voices in my head
Hoping someone hears me crying in the night
And carries me away
Set me free of the chains holding me
Is anybody out there hearing me?
Set me free
Morning breaks another day
Finds me crying in the rain
All alone with my demons I am
Who is this man that comes my way?
The dark ones shriek
They scream His name
Is this the One they say will set the captives free?
Jesus, rescue me
As the God man passes by
He looks straight through my eyes
And darkness cannot hide
Do you want to be free?
Lift your chains
I hold the key
All power on Heav'n and Earth belong to me
You are free
You are free
You are free

I think this one could possibly be Jake singing to Cassie, trying to explain what he does. By Madonna and Justin Timberlake. Some parts don't fit, but oh well.
Hold Hold up Hold up
Slow slow down
Listen give me 10 minutes...
Well gimme 5 minutes.....aight
b-before you leave I just need these last 4 minutes..
Pardon me if I'm talking fast and stumbling all over my words
I heard you were leavin' town I thought I'd be the one to know first
If you have a minute let me talk to you and see what's going on
Don't say it's nothing when it's gotta be something that's gone wrong
Now let me explain but I don't know what to say cause I don't know what the hell happened
I come in the house to try to work it out and all you're doing is packing
Close your suitcase let me think straight
Damn what could be the reason?
Baby talk me I'm almost outta time
I only got 4 minutes to do what I gotta do to prove to you that I'm gonna do anything
Only got 4 minutes say what I gotta say to make you stay and show you that I done change
Cause in 4 minutes I'll never have my girl again
In 4 minutes Imma lose her to some other man
4 no less no more
I'm desperate 'cause the clock's ticking
Only got 4 minutes to go
Who are these people I don't know in my house and they scratching my floors
Takin' furniture outside and the U-Haul pull up to my door
What's the reason that I get this feelin' that you can't keep it real with me
Is it cause of the prime relationships I had off in the streets?
Never mind that this is your conscience speaking and you need to get your girl back
You gotta find a way to try to get to her heart
I'm takin' suggestions I've learned my lesson
Think conscience you're my last lifeline
I'm down to my last second
I only got 4 minutes to do what I gotta do to prove to you that I'm gonna do anything
I only got 4 minutes say what I gotta say to make you stay and show you that I done change (I'm a changed man)
Cause in 4 minutes I'll never have my girl again
In 4 minutes Imma lose her to some other man (I'll be all alone)
4 no less no more
I'm desperate 'cause the clock's ticking
Only got 4 minutes to go
(I've done) I've done things in my past
I thought this love would last
But I can't let you go baby
You're my everything lady
The reason I smile and the reason I talk baby
The reason I breathe, the only one for me, yea
You can't go through with this
If you left me my life wouldn't exist
Cause I'm still in love with you
And that's my word I don't give a damn what you heard
Oh, baby I'll be true
I only got 4 minutes [echo]
And I'm running out of time
I only got 4 minutes [echo]
I only got 4 minutes
4 minutes I'll never have my girl again (I'll never have)
In 4 minutes (oh no) Imma lose her to some other man (Imma lose her)
4 (oo ho) no less no more (And I just can't take it I don't want it happen I won't let it happen)
Cause the clocks ticking
Only got 4 minutes to go (oh no)
Only got 4 minutes to tell you everything I love about you
4 minutes to say I need you, I can't live without you
I'm out of time gotta say what's on my mind
Just to keep you in my life
Aw, damn I'm outta time

I think this would be a good theme for Crayak or the Drode.

The song that Elfangor was accidentally listening to as he drove a yellow Mustang across the deserts of the Taxxon homeworld:
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MejtR81RzCo[/youtube]
And pretty much anything by the Rolling Stones, as also evidenced by the cover of Hot Rocks:
-
I've always found that Sunday Morning, by No Doubt, fits book 19 really well. Especially this part (think of it from Karen's point of view, after Cassie takes Aftran into herself):
I know who I am but who are you?
You're not lookin' like you used to
You're on the other side of the mirror
So nothing's lookin' quite as clear
Thank you for turnin' on the light
Thank you, now you're the parasite
I didn't think you had it in you
And now you're lookin' like I used to
Also, You Can Still be Free, by Savage Garden, always reminded me of Jake and Tom.
Cool breeze and autum leaves
Slow motion daylight
A lone pair of watchful eyes
Oversee the living
Feel the presence all around
A tortured soul
A wound unhealing
NO regrets or promises
The past is gone
But you can still be free...
If time will set you free...
Time now to spread your wings
To take to flight
The life endeavor
Aim for the burning sun
You're trapped inside
But you can still be free...
If time will set you free...
But it's a long long way to go
Keep moving way up high
You see the light
It shines forever
Sail through the crimson skies
The purest light
The light that sets you free...
If time will set you free...
Sail through the wind and rain tonight
You're free to fly tonight
And you can still be free...
If time will set you free...
And going higher than mountain tops
And go high let the wind don't stop
And go high
Free to fly tonight
Free to fly tonight
-
Don't Speak by No Doubt, I always thought it reminded me of Animorphs:
You and me
We used to be together
Every day together always
I really feel
That I'm losing my best friend
I can't believe
This could be the end
It looks as though you're letting go
And if it's real,
Well I don't want to know
Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts
Don't speak
I know what you're thinking
I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts
Our memories
They can be inviting
But some are altogether
Mighty frightening
As we die, both you and I
With my head in my hands
I sit and cry
Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts no no no
Don't speak
I know what you're thinking
And I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts
It's all ending,
I gotta stop pretending who we are...
You and me
I can see us dying... are we?
Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts no no
Don't speak
I know what you're thinking
And I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts
I know what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't speak don't speak don't speak
No I know what you're thinking
And I don't need your reasons
I know you good I know you good
I know you real good oh
La la la la la la la la la
Don't don't ooh ooh
Hush hush darling
Hush hush darling
Hush hush don't tell me 'cause it hurts
Hush hush darling
Hush hush darling
Hush hush don't tell me 'cause it hurts
((Primarily because well...they "don't speak" when they thought speak...yeah but the other stuff too...I dunno haha XD))
-
That's funny. I drew up on no doubt and I still love them. Never associated them with Animorphs but you have me thinking now..
-
Oh geez, I have a whole page in my notebook dedicated to this topic. I only have a few there, but heaps more in my head.
Not Fire, Not Ice by Ben Harper (Jake and Cassie)
Keep Holding on by Avril Lavigne (Cassie in book 29, singing to Ax)
Nobody's Home by Avril Lavigne (about Rachel)
Slipped Away by Avril Lavigne
Heaps of Alex Lloyd songs:
Green, My Way Home, Black the Sun, Coming Home, Never Meant to Fail, Beautiful
A couple of significant lines to me...
"If you wanna be free, please don't fall for me,
I could be anyone but your friend..." - Green, I think that sums up Tobias and Rachel's relationship
"Her feelings she hides,
her dreams she can't find,
she's losing her mind,
she's falling behind..." - Nobody's Home - what I picture is the group singing about Rachel
:P wow, I've been wanting to get that off my chest for a while...
-
oh and sorry to spam but someone mentioned Hide and Seek by Imogen Heap?
my friends have to sing that in choir and when one of them started singing it at lunch...
where are we?
what the hell is going on?
my mind instantly jumped to TV series Animorphs when Tobias is in that hologram with Elfangor.
plus...
spin me round again
and rub my eyes,
this can't be happening
yeah, pretty much everything reminds me of Animorphs now (used to be that way with Twilight but I'm over that now) so don't worry if only I made the connection, I'm just INSANE :P
-
Great choices!
Here are a few of mine:
The Warmth- Incubus
You Can Still be Free- Savage Garden
Breaking the Habit- Linkin Park (this is totally Rachel’s song):
Memories consume
Like opening the wound
I'm picking me apart again
You all assume
I'm safe here in my room
(unless I try to start again)
I don't want to be the one
The battles always choose
Cause inside I realize
That I'm the one confused
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don?t mean
I don't know how I got this way
I know it's not alright
So I'm
Breaking the habit
Tonight
Clutching my cure
I tightly lock the door
I try to catch my breath again
I hurt much more
Than anytime before
I had no options left again
I'll paint it on the walls
Cause I'm the one at fault
I'll never fight again
And this is how it ends
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
But now I have some clarity
To show you what I mean
I don't know how I got this
I'll never be alright
So I'm
Breaking the habit
Breaking the habit
Tonight
Also, every time I hear the song “You’re So Vain” by Carly Simon I think of that horrible scene… the one that essentially ripped a hole in my soul. It’s of course everyone watching Rachel being killed. I happened to be listening to it as I read that final book. I think of Jake and hate him a little.
-
I think Time of Dying by Three Days Grace fits the part in #54 where [spoiler]Rachel dies.[/spoiler]
On the ground I lay
Motionless in pain
I can see my life flashing before my eyes
Did I fall asleep
Is this all a dream
Wake me up, I'm living a nightmare
I will not die (I will not die)
I will survive
I will not die, I'll wait here for you
I feel alive, when you're beside me
I will not die, I'll wait here for you
In my time of dying
On this bed I lay
Losing everything
I can see my life passing me by
Was it all too much
Or just not enough
Wake me up, I'm living a nightmare
I will not die (I will not die)
I will survive
I will not die, I'll wait here for you
I feel alive, when you're beside me
I will not die, I'll wait here for you
In my time of dying
I will not die, I'll wait here for you
I feel alive, when you're beside me
I will not die, I'll wait here for you
In my time of dying
I will not die, I'll wait here for you
I feel alive, when you're beside me
I will not die, I'll wait here for you
In my time of dying
Great song and band!

All the songs that I've read on this thread are good, and I thought why not add to the list.
Viva La Vida by Coldplay (Visser One during The Revelation)
Invaders Must Die by The Prodigy (Any major fight scene)
One by Metallica (For involuntary controllers. Just replace "Landmine" with "Yeerk" and you get the picture)
Paint it Black by The Rolling Stones (Tobias, after Rachel's death)
What I've Done by Linkin Park (Jake after the war)
You and Me by Lifehouse (Tobias and Rachel)
Into the Night by Santana and Chad Kroeger (Tobias and Rachel)
Through the Fire and The Flames by Dragonforce (Tobias being tortured in The Illusion, or the race through Sacramento with the Governor)
Pull Me Under by Dream Theater (Use undecided)
Lay Down by Priestess (Tobias to Rachel after she dies)
-
What I've Done by Linkin Park (Jake after the war)
[/quote]
That's a great one.
Randomly, I love "Shout" by Tears for Fears. I like the refrain music.
Also, personally, the number one song for the Animorphs is "Crazy" by Seal. Please take a look at the lyrics... I dare you to not agree with me.
In a church by the face
He talks about the people going under
Only child know....
A man decides after seventy years
That what he goes there for
Is to unlock the door
While those around him criticize and sleep
And through a fracture on that breaking wall
I see you my friend and touch your face again
Miracles will happen as we trip
But we're never gonna survive unless
We get a little crazy
No we're never gonna survive unless
We are a little
Cray cray crazy
Crazy are the people walking through my head
One of them got a gun to shoot the other one
And yet together they were friends at school
Get it, get it, get it, yeah!
If all were there when we first took the pill
Then maybe then maybe then maybe then maybe
Miracles will happen as we speak
But we're never gonna survive unless
We get a little crazy
No we're never gonna survive unless
We are a little
Crazy
No no we'll never survive unless we get a little bit
A man decides to go along after seventy years
Oh darling
In a sky full of people only some want to fly
Isn't that crazy
In a world full of people only some want to fly
Isn't that crazy
Crazy
In a heaven of people there's only some want to fly
Ain't that crazy
Oh babe Oh darlin'
In a world full of people there's only some want to fly
Isn't that crazy
No no never survive unless we get a little bit
And then you see things
The size of which you've never known before
They'll break it
Someday
Only child know
Them things
The size
Of which you've never known before
Someday
There are particular lines that really speak to me: "they were friends at school," "in a world full of people, only some want to fly," and basically the whole chorus. Plus, when I hear the refrain music I can see all of them morphing and fighting. Love this song.
-
"Wonderwall" as performed by Ryan Adams, NOT the oasis one. Because it's all...melancholy and sad sounding. and acoustic.
-
So, I saw this thread awhile ago when I was being a lurker. Since then, i've been thinking hardcore about songs that could fit the characters. I was driving to my dad's house today (he lives like two hours away) and on the road I picked a bunch of songs! Most are for Rachel/Tobias because i'm obsessed, but there are a few for everyone else as well. I bolded the bits of the lyrics that I think are especially relevant--i'm a dork, I know.
Where Are You Going? by Dave Matthews Band; Jake/Cassie, from Jake's POV. It fits them so well!!! Check out the lyrics.
[spoiler]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4SroEOKN34
Where are you going, with your long face pulling down
Don’t hide away, like an ocean
But you can’t see, but you can smell
And the sound waves crash down
I am no superman
I have no reasons for you
I am no hero, oh that’s for sure
But I do know one thing
Is where you are, is where I belong
I do know, where you go, is where I wanna be
Where are you going, where do you go
Are you looking for answers, to questions under the stars
If along the way you are growing weary
You can rest with me until a brighter day
You're okay
I am no superman
I have no answers for you
I am no hero, oh that’s for sure
But I do know one thing
Is where you are, is where I belong
I do know, where you go, is where I want to be
Where are you going, where do you go
Where do you go, where are you going
Where do you go
I am no superman
I have no answers for you
I am no hero, oh that’s for sure
But I do know one thing
Is where you are, is where I belong
I do know, where you go, is where I wanna be
Where do you go
Where are you going
Let’s go
[/spoiler]
I love it cause it's like Jake doesn't view himself as a hero because he calls so many tough shots that decide whether people live or die; also, in the fight against the yeerks there are casualties like Hork-Bajir who are controllers getting killed. All he knows is that he loves Cassie, haha.
My second one is Maybe I'm Amazed, the version by Jem, and it's for Rachel/Tobias, from Rachel's POV. Because she feels all misunderstood, etc... Funny, I actually found a Jake/Cassie vid for this on youtube when I did the search. I just feels like it fits better for R/T because she's conflicted about her own dark nature.
[spoiler]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yd6cR0Fo9NE
Maybe I'm amazed at the way you love me all the time
Maybe I'm afraid of the way I love you
Maybe I'm amazed at the way you pulled me out of time
and hung me on a line
Maybe I'm amazed at the way I really need you
Maybe I'm a girl and maybe I'm a lonely girl
who's in the middle of something
that she doesn't really understand
Maybe I'm a girl and maybe you're the only man
who could ever help me
Baby, won't you help me understand
Maybe I'm a girl and maybe I'm a lonely girl
who's in the middle of something
that she doesn't really understand
Maybe I'm a girl and maybe you're the only man
who could ever help me
Baby, won't you help me understand
Maybe I'm amazed at the way you're with me all the time
Maybe I'm afraid of the way I leave you
Maybe I'm amazed at the way you help me sing my song
Right me when I'm wrong
Maybe I'm amazed at the way I really need you
[/spoiler]
Collide by Howie Day- Once again, R/T, from Rachel's POV
[spoiler]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6eip5wOd7t8
The dawn is breaking
A light shining through
You're barely waking
And I'm tangled up in you
Yeah
But I'm open, you're closed
Where I follow, you'll go
I worry I won't see your face
Light up again
(I love that stanza, because Rachel is human and has a world of possbilities. Tobias is stuck as a hawk, and therefore closed. But he can follow her anywhere. She's worried she will never see his human face again... I know i'm a dork, but I love it.)
Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills my mind
I somehow find, you and I collide
I'm quiet, you know
You make a first impression
I've found I'm scared to know
I'm always on your mind
Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the stars refuse to shine
Out of the back you fall in time
You somehow find, you and I collide
Don't stop here
I've lost my place
I'm close behind
Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills your mind
You finally find, you and I collide
You finally find
You and I collide
You finally find
You and I collide
[/spoiler]
Who Knew by Pink reminds me of Tobias after Rachel's death :(
[spoiler]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SKEp-H0Eqs
You took my hand, you showed me how
You promised me you'd be around
Ah huh, that's right
I took your words and I believed
In everything you said to me
Yeah huh that's right
If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them out
Coz they're all wrong
I know better
Coz you said forever
And ever
Who knew
Remember when we were such fools
And so convinced and just too cool
Oh no, no no
I wish I could touch you again
I wish I could still call you a friend
I'd give anything
When someone said count your blessings now
'Fore they're long gone
I guess I just didn't know how
I was all wrong
But they knew better
Still you said forever
And ever
Who knew
Yeah yeah
I'll keep you locked in my head
Until we meet again (Meet again)
(Until we) Until we meet again
And I won't forget you my friend
What happened
If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them out
Coz they're all wrong and
That last kiss I'll cherish
Until we meet again
And time makes it harder
I wish I could remember
But I keep your memory
You visit me in my sleep
My darlin' who knew
My darlin' my darlin'
Who knew
My darlin' I miss you
My darlin'
Who knew
Who knew
[/spoiler]
Okay i'm done... for tonight ;) >:D Let me know what you think!

All the songs that I've read on this thread are good, and I thought why not add to the list.
Viva La Vida by Coldplay (Visser One during The Revelation)
Paint it Black by The Rolling Stones (Tobias, after Rachel's death)
What I've Done by Linkin Park (Jake after the war)
You and Me by Lifehouse (Tobias and Rachel)
Into the Night by Santana and Chad Kroeger (Tobias and Rachel)
These are all absolutely amazing! You're a genius.

I wouldn't say that I'm a genius, I just know music, and I can pick good songs and their applications.
Anyway, I've come up with even more songs:
21 Guns by Green Day (I haven't come up with a use yet, but it is still applicable for the Animorphs)
Never Say Never by The Fray (Tobias to Rachel)
Have you ever loved a woman? by Bryan Adams (Either Jake or Tobias)
I'd do anything for love by Meatloaf (Tobias to Rachel, or Jake to Cassie)
-
Ok... one good thing if Internet doesn't work for some weeks...
If it hadn't. I hadn't begun to look through my parents records and found this:
They came flyin' from far away, now I'm under their spell
I love hearing the stories that they tell
They've seen places beyond my land and they've found new horizons
They speak strangely but I understand
And I dream I'm an eagle
And I dream I can spread my wings
Flyin' high, high, I'm a bird in the sky
I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze
High, high, what a feeling to fly
Over mountains and forests and seas
And to go anywhere that I please
As all good friends we talk all night, and we fly wing to wing
I have questions and they know everything
There's no limit to what I feel, we climb higher and higher
Am I dreamin' or is it all real
Is it true I'm an eagle
Is it true I can spread my wings
Flying high, high, I'm a bird in the sky
(I'm an eagle)
I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze
High, up high, what a feeling to fly
(What a feeling)
Over mountains and forests and seas
And to go anywhere that I please
-
Tell me what you think of this song. I think it makes for a good Tobias song, especially post-torture Tobias (read #33 if you don't know what I mean).

Oh, hey, somebody revived this thread! And to think, I was just recently listening to a few songs that really reminded me of Animorphs. One in particular:
When All Is Said and Done by ABBA (Jake and Rachel at the end of the war)
I'm not going to post all the lyrics, because not all of it really fits very well. But there's one verse that fits so perfectly that it nearly brought tears to my eyes, so I just had to share it here.
Its so strange, when you're down and lying on the floor
How you rise, shake your head, get up and ask for more
Clear-headed and open-eyed
With nothing left untried
Standing calmly at the crossroads, no desire to run
Theres no hurry any more when all is said and done
-
Alan Parsons
Silence and I
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjnFX99flC0
If i cried out loud
Over sorrows i've known
And the secrets i've heard
It would ease my mind
Someone sharing the load
But i won't breathe a word
We're two of a kind
Silence and i
We need a chance to talk things over
Two of a kind
Silence and i
We'll find a way to work it out
While the children laughed
I was always afraid
Of the smile of the clown
So i close my eyes
Till i can't see the light
And i hide from the sound
We're two of a kind
Silence and i
We need a chance to talk things over
Two of a kind
Silence and i
We'll find a way to work it out
I can hear the cry
Of the leaf on a tree
As it falls to the ground
I can hear the call
Of an echoing voice
And there's no one around
We're two of a kind
Silence and i
We need a chance to talk things over
Two of a kind
Silence and i
We'll find a way to work it out

I've got another one, for Tobias this time. It's Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Green Day.

This Dying Soul by Dream Theater (Rachel's Life)
Sweet Child O' Mine by Guns N' Roses (Tobias describing Rachel)
Leave out all the rest by Linkin Park (Tobias and Rachel)
Master of Puppets by Metallica (Any non-voluntary controller)
For Whom the Bell Tolls by Metallica (The Animorphs' struggle against the Yeerks)
Winter Winds by Mumford & Sons (Tobias and Rachel)
Gotta be Somebody by Nickelback (Either couple)
Well, that's about as far as I'll go.
-
I think White & Nerdy by Weird Al would be perfect for Ax. :rofl:
-
I wonder if any Queen would be good (besides the known ones)...
*digs through Queen library*
-
I got one. For Rachel. As Rachel is, later in the series, scaring herself with the violent murderous rage inside of here, I got this song.
Monster-Skillet
-
i don't know if anyone's heard it but i think Brand New's Untitled 5 would be cool to hear in an animorphs movie or something,
-
N33dz moar Kalif0rnian stUffz.
*nods sagely*
Social Distortion, No Doubt, Offspring, Sublime, rah rah rah. Stuff teenagers in SoCal would have been listening to back then! With all due respect...ABBA? Marco would be rolling in his Z-Space grave! :o :P

I'd say that kind of music would be good for background music such as the music playing over radios, in shops, etc. and probably for the first twenty or so books, but towards the end of the series, I'd the Rock (and most of its subgenres) and Metal (stuff like Dream Theater, Tool and the softer songs, i.e. no screamo or thrash) genres would take precedence. Mainly for the heavier moods and tones that the books have by the end.
-
Well, I got the new Muse CD (The Resistance - already sounds like a title from one of the books!) a couple months back, and basically the first 3 songs remind me of Animorphs now. I can't un-hear it. The whole album's got this resistance-in-a-war-with-scifi-undertones thing going on.
Uprising - If there is a movie, this needs to be in it. So much Yeerk-butt-kicking awesomeness.
Resistance - a bit Jake/Cassie, but works as an overall theme as well. It's both slow/intimate and hurried-feeling at the same time.
Undisclosed Desires - Deffinately Tobias/Rachel. All the way.
-
Did I already say Riot for David?
I think Lost In You by Three Days Grace (yeah, I'm a 3DG psycho) could possibly be a Tobias/Rachel song.
-
For some reason I immediately thought of the time when the Pemalite Crystal was used to reprogramme Erik and he went all Ah-nuld T-100 on the Yeerks.
Is it just me, or would Mechanize by Fear Factory really make that battle insanely awesome?
-
I expected there'd be one of these, but nothing came up searching.
Tobias and Elfangor: He Lives In You,Endless Night (TLK2 and Lion King Broadway)
Dak Hamee and Aldrea: Look Through My Eyes (Brother Bear) and Colors of The Wind (also works for Cassie and Aftran)
Rachel/Tobias or Jake/Cassie: Will You Be There
Visser Three: Gimme The Prize
Jake to the Auxiliaries: Make a Man Out of You (Mulan) (or it works for the team themselves)
Jake in The Capture: You Can't Take Me, I'm Free(Spirit Stallion of the Cimarron)
Tobias in The Pretender: Sound the Bugle Now (Spirit)
Whole group: Circle of Life (Elton version)
There's one called After The War that always brings Tobias/Rachel to mind, but not all the lyrics match up.
Tobias: Reach for The Light (Balto)
Tobias and Ax: Brothers Under The Sun(Spirit)
Tobias/Rachel: For You I Will and I Turn To You(Space Jam)
I also think of Animorphs when listening to the CD of the Buffy musical..."Walk Through The Fire" and the last part of "I've Got A Theory" do it most...it goes into "what can't we face if we're together...what's in this place that we can't weather...." ""Where Do We Go From Here?" for the end of the war

there was a thread about theme songs for all the characters at one point. carry on my wayward son always makes me think of tobias.

you are correct. merging threads.
-
"Make a Man Out of You" from Jake to the Auxiliary Animorphs? Very, very interesting choice indeed.
-
Darn, the search feature missed this one. Thanks.
And re the Jake/Aux, or maybe just Jake and the team? I just like the war and fighting aspect. Maybe not so much on getting on any weakness though.

I know what you mean, and I'm not saying that the message of the song doesn't fit Jake, but it's just... when I imagine Jake singing while doing kung fu moves... xD
-
For some reason, this ALWAYS reminded me of Tobias.
Aqua - Turn Back Time (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ls0WfopgR9k#ws)
-
So.... I just came accross a song called "Animorphs Aren't Cool Anymore".
http://www.myspace.com/music/player?sid=65161145&ac=now (http://www.myspace.com/music/player?sid=65161145&ac=now)
It's rediculously catchy, and the title is forgiven considering that the song seems to have this wistful "missing the good ol' days" feel to it.
-
The song Breakaway by the Subdigitals would be a good battle song in my opinion. You can find the song in the Code Lyoko soundtrack :)
-
I have to second, third, and infinity "He Lives in You" and "Endless Night" for Tobias and Elfangor. When I saw the Lion King for the first time on stage (GO SEE IT ITS AMAZING!) they were the first people I thought of (Even before Simba and Mufasa, haha). Made me tear up a little. :'(
I'll post more as I think of them (Thinking up character songs is like, always running in the back of my brain...all those stupid anime ipod videos, lol.) I'm going to put the videos behind the spoiler screens.
Even though the lyrics don't fit 100%, I think "Be Prepared" is perfect for Visser Three, I could see him singing it.
[spoiler]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0AiN8vrn9Y[/spoiler]
This might be a bit of a stretch, but Disenchanted by My Chemical Romance reminds me a lot of Ax in relation to the Andalites. Mostly from him learning to care for the humans, and then the Andalites writing them off despite his attempts to try to get the Andalites to help them.
[spoiler]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJZhYpXlFls[/spoiler]
For Tobias, I think "Welcome to the Black Parade" fits, talking about how he fights on for his father's ideals even though Elfangor is gone.

[spoiler]Burning in the Sun (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-Rx4Ps7aiY#)[/spoiler]Burning in the Sun (video includes lyrics) for Jake in 54, maybe?
Several songs on The Beauty of the Rain (album by Dar Williams) work for Loren/Elfangor.

ooh, i saw that song before. I didn't listen to it because of the title though

This song came to mind for Karen/Aftran: Gothic Lolita by Emilie Autumn
I thought of it when thinking about how absolutely horrific it would be to be a little kid with a mind several years older trapped in your head. I mean, to think that she had all of the memories of what Aftran did (possibly killing and stuff like that.) I think it particularly fits because it talks about the person who did terrible things to her getting away and people saying "they did what anyone would do" *cough cough* Cassiejustifyingyee rks *cough.* Its pretty dark, but I think it fits for the amount of trauma a little kid would go through dealing with being enslaved.

I don't know why, but this song:
[spoiler]Counting Crows - Colorblind (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HV9-7y-GEhY#)[/spoiler]
always reminds me of Rachel and Tobias.
Saltatio Mortis with 'Tief in mir' fits Rachel I think:
[spoiler]www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMh3ltHH2BY[/spoiler]
Here are the lyrics in english so you can also understand it if you don't speak german:
[spoiler]It sleeps deep within me
Ready to awaken
It dreams terrible dreams
of insatiable greed
It sleeps within me
Ready to destroy
It fights for supremacy
A beast which cannot be tamed
Look the beast in the face
Call it by name
Pretty words
will not heal
the wounds it inflicted
Look the beast in the face
Recognise in my eyes
The rage which feeds my soul
and denies me peace
It sleeps deep within me
Incomprehensible horror
Full of desire and demands
So it reaches for you
It still sleeps with me
Take me as I am
Don't seek to deny
My insatiable beast
Once awakened, it will murder and corrupt everything
Imprisoned, driven by an ancient power
It will rage and burn, it will destroy you
Until nothing is left of you
Yet this is the power which drives me!

Some Nights (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQkBeOisNM0#ws) by Fun is my anthem for Jake, particulary in the latter half of the series.
Sadly I don't really have the resources to make it a music video, but this is what comes into my head.
[spoiler]Some nights I stay up cashing in my bad luck
(Lion and tiger facing off on the rooftop of a mall)
Some nights I call it a draw
(Jake collapses into bed)
Some nights I wish that my lips could build a castle
(Jake giving big, dramatic pre-battle speech)
Some nights I wish they'd just fall off
(Then turning away with a grimace at his manipulation)
But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh, Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for oh
(Walking through the now empty abandoned construction site)
What do I stand for? What do I stand for?
(Holding the Escafil Device)
Most nights I don't know anymore...
(Hand morphing to tiger)
Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh,
Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh
(All of the Animorphs going to battle morphs)
This is it, boys, this is war - what are we waiting for?
(Flashes of gory battle in the following sequence)
Why don't we break the rules already?
(Cassie as wolf bites down on the neck of a Hork-Bajir)
I was never one to believe the hype
(Ax looks up to the sky in the Morning Ritual)
Save that for the black and white
(Ax angrily confronts Jake in front of the bound Chapman)
I try twice as hard and I'm half as liked,
But here they come again to jack my style
(Various angry/disappointed/frustrated Animorphs in the barn, shot of a rat)
That's alright;
(Slower view of Cassie taking Jake's hand)
I found a martyr in my bed tonight
(She kisses his forehead while he's sick with Yamphut)
She stops my bones from wondering just who I am, who I am, who I am
Oh, who am I? Mmm... Mmm...
(Flashes of Jake and Cassie's kiss, interspersed with flashes of the Howlers' violence which takes over.)
Well, some nights I wish that this all would end
(Jake plummets from the tower with the Howler)
'Cause I could use some friends for a change.
(Marco and Jake fighting)
And some nights I'm scared you'll forget me again
Some nights I always win, I always win...
(Tom sits quietly caged; Jake, half-wolf, speaks into a payphone)
But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh, Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for, oh
(Tobias reads the letter from Alan Fangor, the Animorph's jarred reactions)
What do I stand for? What do I stand for?
Most nights I don't know...
oh, come on
(A flurry of chaotic shots which come back to and eventually focus on Elfangor's death)
So this is it. I sold my soul for this?
Washed my hands of that for this?
I miss my mom and dad for this?
(Jake as tiger faces down Tom across a meadow)
No. When I see stars, when I see, when I see stars, that's all they are
(Jake and Ax share glances, neither understanding the other)
When I hear songs, they sound like this one, so come on.
(Jake covers his ears against the howlers, screaming)
Oh, come on. Oh, come on. Oh, come on!
(Jake trying to interrupt attacks on his family and inevitably failing, roaring in anguish as tiger)
Well, that is it guys, that is all - five minutes in and I'm bored again
(Jake demorphing, covered in blood)
Ten years of this, I'm not sure if anybody understands
(Jake's dream of the undead victims of his own attacks; he wakes up)
This one is not for the folks at home;
(A snippet of Jake's 'We can't tell you who we are' speech)
Sorry to leave, mom, I had to go
Who the **** wants to die alone all dried up in the desert sun?
(Jake and his mother talking in his backyard; she tries to comfort him and he laugh-cries)
My heart is breaking for my sister and the con that she call "love"
(A bald eagle and red-tailed hawk fly together, doing aerial weaves)
When I look into my nephew's eyes...
(Young Toby speaks, beautiful green eyes flashing)
Man, you wouldn't believe the most amazing things that can come from...
Some terrible nights... ah...
(Battle in the Hork-Bajir forest, interspersed with battle from the Isaiah Fitzhenry story in the same book)
Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh,
Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh
(Over this, with renewed hope, we see the disabled kids in the hospital all morphing, bursting with excitement and joy)
The other night you wouldn't believe the dream I just had about you and me
I called you up but we'd both agree
It's for the best you didn't listen
It's for the best we get our distance... Oh...
(Jake bursts out of bed; Cassie's sitting up awake, upset but unable to cry. He picks up the phone, only to find Tom is already on it, listening with suspicion at hearing his call interrupted. Jake sets the phone down very carefully as if it were a snake)
It's for the best you didn't listen
It's for the best we get our distance... Oh...
(Jake as tiger faces down Tom in the meadow again; Cassie, hidden in the trees, holds the Escafil device.)
I always think of the Animorphs narration starting from this pivotal meadow scene, and treat it as the single climax of the action.
Also yes I know Toby is a girl and Rachel is Jake's cousin and only by the strangest stretch of the imagination would Rachel be considered Toby's 'mother' (maybe if you considered her Tobias' mate, and considered Tobias Toby's godfather), but the lyrics weren't PERFECT. XD[/spoiler]

I wrote a song recently (that isn't quite finished yet) and named it Hork-Bajir after it reminded me of them. The song isn't about them specifically, just analogous, if that's the correct word...
https://soundcloud.com/blujugganaut/hork-bajir-unfinished-version
Again, it's unfinished and will likely change drastically when it is next played. I'm not too happy with it at the moment.
