[A ghost you know]

This is perfect for any of the Tobias books(i.e.,13,23,33,43 and 49)in my mind atleast.
<movie snipped>

Nice!
Did you make that?

[Blaise Zebrataur]

No,I didn't make it,but I sure like it alot as it fits Tobias SO so well.

[Dameg]

Both are good ^^ The battle theme is perfect!

[aareavis]

A couple of years ago, I heard this beach boys song and I think it kind of fits Rachel and Tobias.  It called "In My Room".

Tobias' theme song- learn to Fly (I can't believe this hasn't been posted)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dwuzqF6huc

Tobias' "funny song"- I like birds
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSi3_izdRZE

Rachel's Theme song- Stand my ground
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nmq1h5cQdk

Rachel's second theme song- live free or let me die
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bFbEg0SwJ8

Cassie's theme (maybe, it half fits half doesn't)- Hero
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avUTaohfc3U

The Pretender no one's theme, just a good song for it
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBjQ9tuuTJQ

[Dameg]

Long time I didn't hear Learn to Fly ^^ but it fits perfectly to Tobias ^^

Stand my ground isn't available any more, so I suppose it was this one:
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRztRCwOTM0[/youtube]
I like this band so

Your last song isn't available any more too, so may you re-put it, please?

I think Hero fits to all the Animorphs, actually. Because no one want to be a hero, if they could, they'd just wait for somebody to save them.
I really like it ^^

Listening to Skillet (band I didn't know), I found this one for the future(?) Voluntary Controllers: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mI3D6SVLfYs[/youtube]
maybe...

And totally this one for the Yeerks and the Sharing:
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQlNstw-eTc[/youtube]
(replace Jesus by Sharing )
Or this one too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDGJkExLU5U

For Rachel, vol #48:
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4HXbV24eFM[/youtube]
I really like it ^^'

Can anybody find a good song for the morphing?

[Myitt]

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, Dameg

I love this song, and this band  Very alien/space/conspiracy/dystopia oriented, so they tend to make me think of stuff like 1984 and of course Animorphs.

This song in particular was used as inspiration for Stephenie Meyer ( ) in her alien parasite book The Host (the only one I could actually, sort of, enjoy..)

[Dameg]

Glad as always to oblige my friends and neighbours… *reverence*

We'll have soon a full OST for Animorphs ^^ That would be so cool if we upload it with the ebooks, so people can listen to it when reading the ebooks!

[donut]

ok, lemme try embedding them (sorry, not used to forums)


Pretender
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZUgK7k3pRc[/youtube]

Learn to Fly
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dwuzqF6huc[/youtube]

Live free or Let Me Die
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bFbEg0SwJ8[/youtube]

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

I guess I thought of cassie with this one, because, in my opinion, it's about an internal and external struggle, and the lines

Who's gonna fight for the weak?
Who's gonna make 'em believe?
I've got a hero, I've got a hero
Living in me

I'm gonna fight for what's right
Today I'm speaking my mind
And if it kills me tonight
I will be ready to die
 Make me think he's finally overcome the internal struggle and decided that he's going to be the one to fight for it.  It makes me think of cassie's crisis of faith in books 16 17 and 19.

I also found this song, a generic leaving/death song, but a good one (another skillet song, sorry for that, but they're pretty good)
say goodbye
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6Zbjv_WNBk[/youtube]

and this one, it's good for any controller, but I think it really goes well for tom and jake, or marco and v1 (if you can get past them constantly repeating what have you done now)
What have you done
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7259YfbcQ8[/youtube]

BTW, invasion: wow, it's perfect, it's a good song on its own, but it sounds like it was almost written for this

[Dameg]

Woh!! Good songs!
Everybody find a lot of awesome songs ^^
They seem to fit so well with Animorphs, sometimes, that we can think they were written for it ^^'

[Terenia]

This song, for me, fits into the war in general, but specifically to Rachel's death in a very bittersweet sort of way. It could also apply to Aldrea and Dak or even Elfangor and Loren.

Lyrics
It started out as a feeling
Which then grew into a hope
Which then turned into a quiet thought
Which then turned into a quiet word

And then that word grew louder and louder
'Til it was a battle cry

I'll come back
When you call me
No need to say goodbye

Just because everything's changing
Doesn't mean it's never
Been this way before

All you can do is try to know
Who your friends are
As you head off to the war

Pick a star on the dark horizon
And follow the light

You'll come back
When it's over
No need to say good bye

You'll come back
When it's over
No need to say good bye

Now we're back to the beginning
It's just a feeling and no one knows yet
But just because they can't feel it too
Doesn't mean that you have to forget

Let your memories grow stronger and stronger
'Til they're before your eyes

You'll come back
When they call you
No need to say good bye

You'll come back
When they call you
No need to say good bye

We'll have soon a full OST for Animorphs ^^ That would be so cool if we upload it with the ebooks, so people can listen to it when reading the ebooks!

No, no, we're still missing a very important part of it, we need songs that fit the humor of the books.  One of the reasons, maybe the biggest, that I like the books is because they're so funny.  I'm having a hard time thinking of any songs that really fit though.  I came up with this one for your favorite time Ax tried to induce a hyperglycemic coma, or in MM1 when Ax and Marco crashed that party
although it's a very rough fit
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t66uuDdpwaU[/youtube]


other than that I can't really think of anything.  I did find this song, I kinda like it. again reminds me of Rachel, a lot of these songs do for some reason (the end credits song is clubbed to death)
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9vxgZwbKp0[/youtube]

oh, I prolly shoulda mentioned, I never actually finished the series   I'm reading through them now from the start on ebooks, actually it's surprised me how good they are, I figured when I started it'd just kinda be a nice nostalgic moment, but I think I might actually like them more now than I did ten years ago.  I certainly appreciate some of the content more.  Used to I couldn't stand some of Cassie's moral dilemas, now I don't necessarily agree with her choices, but I defintely apreciate the ethical discussions on some of the greyer aspects of war.  And Jakes stuff with being a leader really hits home now.
Post Merged: June 12, 2010, 10:41:58 PMI was just listening to home.  I like it, pretty good for Tobias.  Made me think of this song for books 13 or 23

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LA2CpQWg2pA[/youtube]

then thinking of switchfoot made me think of this song, although it's another song I don't know if it quite fits

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtbFYs3KjHg[/youtube]

[Dameg]

Don't be surprised if I tell you... they're great ^^ Really, I liked them and think they fit to Animorphs!

The 2nd is really nice for Rachel, the 3rd perfect for the end of #13 for Tobias, and the 4th... I would say for Tobias (end of the first book, for example) or maybe for the Controller who wanna be free as nothlit in one of the last books.

[aguito]

I really liked that last song by switchfoot, it was awesome (I'm trying to download it right now, haha) but it just doesn't seem to fit with tobias for me. In a wierd sort of way it makes me think more of Rachel and her relationship with Tobias, especially the part that says "you're the only one that can save me from me" like she's struggling with herself and Tobias offers her an anchor, a semblance of sanity in her life

[Dameg]

Well, for me, this sentence could fit to Tobias too. He decided to be a hawk, to live as a hawk, and that would be as if he asked Rachel to take him back to humanity. Not perfect, I know...
Maybe we can say it fits to both of them...

OK, now we have many songs, I think it would be nice to decide with which book they'd fit the most, and the order, so we could make our soundtrack ^^

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!)

PS: You still can add songs, of course. We really miss one for the morphing... and one for the Howlers or the Iskoorts, and one for the Leerans, and one for the Helmacrons...
