10th Man Down - Nightwish

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VaEY7Z3QsOA[/youtube]

I think this song fits    It always makes me think of Animorphs for some reason, even if the lyrics aren't perfect...
lol@the "Guitar" caption for the first minute of the video though

[donut]

I think this is good for book 41

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqJjAAk4qtg[/youtube]


And I think one of these would be good for Rachel and Tobias, but I can't choose one

[A ghost you know]

Unwell, by Matchbox 20, would be a pretty good fit for Rachel in #7.

[LisaCharly]

The sentiment behind Amanda Palmer's "Trout Heart Replica" feels very Cassie-ish to me.

And they're killing, yes they're killing, and I don't want to know
And it's beating, it's still beating, God I don't wanna know
Because killing things is not so hard, it's hurting that's the hardest part
And when the wizard gets to me I'm asking for a smaller heart
And if he tells me no, I'll hold my breath until I hit the floor
Either way I know that I will get what I am asking for

For Edriss, Björk's Human Behaviour.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ps7uk99XzsU[/youtube]

For Dak Hamee and Aldrea, She Blinded Me with Science by Thomas Dolby.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V83JR2IoI8k[/youtube]

For Rachel and Tobias, Neko Case's I'm an Animal.

[A ghost you know]

Bad news: I don't think there's a song that fits the morphing. I've done a lot of searches for morphing-related terms: shapeshifting, shapeshifter, morphing, etc. No luck on any of those, or any of the other searches I've tried.

[11:11]

What about Animal I Have Become by Three Days Grace?

Lyrically the song fits morphing and turning into animals like controlling the animal's instincts and stuff, but also the song can fit some of the more emotional things the Animorphs had to go through, particularly Rachel battling her "dark" side.

EDIT *headdesk* nevermind someone already mentioned this song

[donut]

ok I was thinkg about it and I think Break Me Down is good for 3 when tobias is going through his little breakdown,  Solace is good for Rachel's perspective on the TR relationship and On The Wing is good for Tobias' perspective

a few more songs (just got a Red album)

For early in book 19

either
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tal6VWmFKpo[/youtube]

or
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtgISEi7OVg[/youtube]

same words, different music different feel

For when Tobias is talking to Taylor in 43
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKDkKVQ3AU0[/youtube]

Maybe for 33 when Tobias is getting tortured, but I think there's prolly a better place for this one
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4FIVG_Q28k[/youtube]

And yes it's way too obvious and corny but for 44 one of these

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNT7uZf7lew[/youtube]

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5pm_5uoZOQ[/youtube]

BTW are we actually planning on distributing these with the ebooks, because it seems like it's been implied but no one's talked specifics, I'd be happy to get the files ready, but without a place to store them it's moot

*edit*
ok I found a host and have been test uploading and downloading files. Here is a small group of files for a test, let me know if you guys can download them or if there are any problems

[Enki]

This soundtrack is going to kick, but it needs more Nice Is Neat, imo. 

Head Down, I think this one is perfect for the Controllers:
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNNNS-i33TY[/youtube]

Also, Meet Your Master for the Controllers:
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWSPHu53IXc[/youtube]

We're in This Together, for Tobias and Rachel:
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9BfvPjsXXw[/youtube]

The Good Soldier, reminds me of what Ax was thinking in MM3 (could also be a general "war is teh suck" kind of song):
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gly4XhLqDeM[/youtube]

Trent Reznor also started a side project with his fiance, called How To Destroy Angels.
They did a song called Parasite... pretty self explanatory:
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2_Y59HCyhA[/youtube]

[Myitt]

LOVE the NIN stuff, and How to Destroy Angels  How can I not love a song called Parasite?

I just found this amusing, in light of my MUSE recommendations...a pparently I'm not the only person who fantasizes about a rock band that is secretly trying to alert the planet to the presence of their species' invasion...*cough* Of course that's all fiction.

Right?

From Music OMH
http://www.musicomh.com/music/features/muse_0706.htm

"I don't think we really fit. I think we don't need to fit. We make our own music and people notice." So what's the biggest misconception about Muse? "That we believe in aliens and stuff! Some people think we're alien people."

Haha...just made me giggle like a nerdy little girl x3

[yunyun]

This song always reminds of animorphs for some reason.Don't ask why

I just noticed this post and thought I could contribute a really good song.  I actually used to listen to a lot of music when reading these books so I will be sure to post some more later.  The lyrics of this song a perfect for the series.  It's as if it were written just for it.

PS: I changed the video for Devil inside, for a better sound and the lyrics who are under the video. I also changed for Mad World & Unwell & We're in this together & some others to have the lyrics in the video. For 10th Man Down by Nightwish, I think it wouldn't be bad for the beginning #19 when Cassie leave the team after a kill, but as you didn't say, I didn't put it in the ordered list, just at the end with the other songs who need to be placed correctly. I suggested the moments for 2 songs you (Donut) proposed for Rachel & Tobias. For Human Behavior, I suggest it for Visser, and She Blinded Me With Science for THBC, if it's OK with you, Lisa (it's just sad I couldn't find any video with the lyrics). 11:11, I edited Animal I Have Become with what you said, but if you find an exact good place for it, tell me.
@Yunyun, may you precise what is the title of the song, and the lyrics, please?

The goal would be to find the order of the songs (in the soundtrack), and the volume they go with... So please everybody give your feelings ^^ (and if you think a song don't really fit enough to Animorphs, tell us!). I really need to know the order of the songs if you want a soundtrack at the end.
You can add more songs, of course.

@Donut: Actually, I said specifically that I'll make a soundtrack and upload it. Maybe with the Ebooks, but probably in another link. And don't worry, I know a looooot of places where I can upload files ^^ But thank you for the files, I'm gonna check that. MU (= Megaupload) works very well. I also like Multiupload and 4shared, for different reasons.

@Whatitdo: What I think so far is that it's cool (it's a good band and some songs fit very well) but it'd be even better if you gave us an idea of where you'd like to see them. Except the Rachel&Tobias/Cassie&Jake one, you didn't say anything...
So here my suggestions for your songs:
- Stronger => Tom (to Jake), maybe in the end of #1 or near the end of the series
- The War is Over => for #54 Jake (when he's just a morphing teacher and bitter about the end of the war)
- Finally => for #54 Tobias after Rachel's death
- Running From Me => for #3 Tobias (who try to suicide) or maybe when he's tortured by Taylor in #33...
- Fold => for a Controller, maybe Jake in #6
For 1 or 2 of them, I really don't see the how they suggest Animorphs ^^'
If you agree with my suggestions, tell me so I'll add them with your songs.

By Trust Company, there is another one who makes me think about Animorphs, particularly a new Controller, or when the Anis are trapped in the mind of animals (termites in #9 for example):
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-gYy0m8NxI[/youtube]
Just a suggestion, tell me if you agree.

[Liz]

For 10th Man Down by Nightwish, I think it wouldn't be bad for the beginning #19 when Cassie leave the team after a kill, but as you didn't say, I didn't put it in the ordered list, just at the end with the other songs who need to be placed correctly.

Oh, I like that idea!  The lyrics really fit that book.

[Dameg]

That's why I proposed that ^^ I edited my previous post to put it in the right place.

Please, more "votes", everybody! We need to put all the songs in order.

[LisaCharly]

All those books are fine for my suggestions, Dameg! I have a few more, mostly Matthew Good because I'm on a binge and he writes a lot of songs about war.

Matthew Good - "A Silent Army in the Trees" for either Jake or Marco towards the end of the series (maybe Jake in #31, actually). I can very much see Jake being the kind of kid who'd play war games as a little kid, and this song is a reflection on how war in real life is so much more damaging and dehumanizing than people imagine it as. "Never thought I'd see the day I'd be afraid of little kids playing in the streets/well this ain't the woods behind the house since there ain't nobody screaming out for you to come inside and eat/you're just holding your friends and watching them bleed//we traded plastic guns and infantry for this silent army in the trees.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgOO0FRBDzk[/youtube]

Matthew Good - "Weapon" for Tobias to Rachel in #33. A war song and a love song all at once. I especially think the lines here by my side an angel, here by my side the devil/here by my side you are destruction/here by my side a new color to paint the world//and you give in and you give out, and ain't it so weird how it makes you a weapon?"

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eo1hY2qNd3Y[/youtube]

Matthew Good - "Blue Skies Over Bad Lands" for Cassie in #19, 29 or 50. Just a thoughtful, beautiful song on empathizing with your enemies.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISHqBTWHq5k[/youtube]

KT Tunstall - "Funnyman" for Marco in #15, about using humor as a self-defense mechanism. I normally hate KT Tunstall, but this song is really a fun little jam with a dark undercurrent.
