soundtrack

[A ghost you know]

I've got one suggestion and one new soundtrack.
For the Chee, Mr. Roboto, by Styx, is perfect.

Lyrics: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/s/styx/mr_roboto.html

So, here the songs, please tell with which character(s) and which volume(s) they'd fit the most (I put the singer, the title with a link to the Youtube, and then what people who posted this song suggested):

<snip>
Gamma Ray - Man on a Mission
<snip>

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!)

That should probably be for one of Rachel's. It's a battle song, which fits her perfectly. The lines about the "dark side" and death fit her, too. The finishing touch: some of the lines fit Rachel & Tobias.
hmm, I'm not sure what volume would go well with this, though. Perhaps #48? It's certainly Rachel's darkest moment, which fits the overall tone...

[Dameg]

I love that song!! I do since I heard it in Densha Otoko (the drama). I added it to the list of songs. I think it would be nice for the first volume with the Chees.

About Man on a mission, I agree it could be cool for Rachel, but not for the #48. We have songs who fit way more with this volume. I'm sure some missions were crazy for Rachel before or after that. It would be nice for the stormiest battle of Animorphs, which is............??

[A ghost you know]

I love that song!!

Ditto! 

About Man on a mission, I agree it could be cool for Rachel, but not for the #48. We have songs who fit way more with this volume. I'm sure some missions were crazy for Rachel before or after that.

True. The battle with mean Rachel/nice Rachel in The Separation is probably her craziest.

It would be nice for the stormiest battle of Animorphs, which is............??

...a matter of personal opinion. The final battle is possibly the stormiest, and probably the most desperate, but it's not one of Rachel's books. Still, the song would probably work.

[Dameg]

Yeah, that's why I'm asking you to "vote" or give your point for the songs ^^ Please say for all the songs...
For Man on a mission, I really have no idea... I should re-read the Animorphs to remember which one is the craziest battle... I just had, I don't know why, but the picture of Rachel as a bear in MM1 for this song... Well, maybe not the best idea.
So pleaaaaase vote everybodyyyyyy!!!!

I'm looking for songs for the morphings... I didn't find anything that really fit what I wanted, but I have songs to add:

Kat DeLuna - Animal
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUEDnzUWswE[/youtube]
Totally for Rachel! Just listen to the 1st sentence and you'll be sure

Maybe this one:
Mors Principium Est - The Animal Within
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcGPnKLLVT4[/youtube]
for Tobias when he's tortured...

Three Days Grace - Animal I Have Become
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwsewrrM1Mo[/youtube]
for the nothlit in a way, or for the Animorphs who became solders, who have no choice but fight and kill...


I edited the list of songs, to add this 3 songs, and put them in a kind of order: first the songs with already a volume (in order of volumes), then the songs with a character only, and at the end the songs with no character, no volume...
Maybe it'll be easier to give your advice now.

Another song (I haven't added it in the list, but it seems nice for Rachel and the Ellimist in #54):
Muse - Shrinking Universe http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBWX_UbW1_U

Another proposition, for the volume #7, when they visit the "future":
Moonspell - Everything Invaded http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vOw0ARD17w

This one for Marco & V1 (#30 seems nice for it):
Jesus on extasy-Beloved Enemy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKueSVU4ZwI

Anybody have a song for #19? I can't believe we don't have any yet for this volume!!
I found this, maybe for the end of volume #29: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlTNxSYGRBE

What do you think about this songs? Do they fit?
Post Merged: June 23, 2010, 07:01:32 AMSo here my suggestions for the songs with no volume:
Foo Fighters - Learn to fly for Tobias: #13
Eels - I like birds for Tobias: #4 seegulls time or #15 parrots time
Daughtry - Home for Tobias #13,23,33,43 and 49: I would say, more for the #13 or #23... I don't remember when Tobias see the poster with the hawk and how long hawks live... but I think it'd be nice for this volume.
Switchfoot - Free for Tobias: #3 (or maybe even end of #1)
Within Temptation - Stand my ground for Rachel : I think #7 would be the best (or maybe #22)
Ok Go - Invincible for Rachel: #7, 32 or 37...? or maybe MM1?
Kat DeLuna - Animal for Rachel: why not #2? she enjoyed so much the cat morph... and that's what I feel in this song: cat-woman Rachel ^^
Skillet- Hero for Cassie: #19 or 29
Within Temptation - What have you done for Tom & Jake or V1 & Marco: so choice is between #15, 30+31 (both Marco/V1 and Jake/Tom, and I think it'd be the best)
STYX - Mr. Roboto for the Chees: #10
Job For A Cowboy - Entombment of a Machine for Crayak: #26 or TEC
Staind - For you for Tom or another Controller: I'd say #6 because Jake is a Controller and has Tom's memories of being a Controller...
Skillet - Never Surrender for (future) voluntary Controllers: MM4 with Tobias becoming a Controller
Skillet - Alien Youth for the Yeerks and the Sharing: maybe for #12 and Jeremy Jason McCole
Skillet- Earth Invasion for the Yeerks and the Sharing: after listening to it again, maybe the #50, when the New Animorphs join the guerrilla... that or simply #1
Eisley - Invasion for the Yeerks: #1
VAST - Lost: maybe #50 for Cassie
Gamma Ray - Man on a Mission: for one of the last missions, I'd say, for example #52 when they blow up the Yeerk Pool, or #47 for the battle of the HB valley, or #53~54 for the final battle...
Muse - Futurism: maybe #7 for the future
Skillet - Say Goodbye: I'd say #54 for Tobias (after the war and Rachel's death)

So what do you think? Yes? No? Do you agree for some of them? Did I f*ck it up?

I feel like... we miss a song for David, now. Poor David... he deserves a song too!

[donut]

sorry I haven't had a chance to listen to the new songs yet, but I came across this after listening to manowar and I think it's perfect for the end of book 23.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRWcmYLVKG0[/youtube]

BTW I was thinking about alien youth, if you fade it in at about one minute so it starts with "we're taking over the world" it fits perfectly.

@ dameg, I really think 'hero' could be a good song for 19

I looked for one for the helmacrons, but searching "alien midgets" didn't get me very far....

I found this song a little while ago, it sounds good but I can't quite place it

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9dJv9KNc1Q&feature=related[/youtube]


jeez, i hated david, prolly cause he was so much like me, only the complete opposite.... like bizarro donut

anyway, thinking about it I came up with fear (the first 10 sec and last 20 or so aren't part of the song)
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDt4lBufWUA[/youtube]

but it's another song that I can't quite tell if it fits or not.

I was actually thinking learn to fly was good for the end of book 3

I love Mr robotto, never thought of it for the chee though, 

I was trying to avoid more skillet for variety sake but this caught my attention

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yt7H9Lg7jZs[/youtube]


ok so this is a little off topic
considering KA's references to lord of the rings, did anyone else think the crayak was a reference to Sauron?

[Dameg]

Defender by Manowar is really perfect!
I've added your songs in the list, and edited Hero => #19 and Learn to fly => #3 or #13.
I'm waiting for the other RAFians to tell me what they think...
If some songs fit to many volumes and we can't decide where to put them exactly, they'll go in the holes (volumes who have no song).

I can cut the songs, don't worry. If we want, we can cut some of them so everything will be OK. I'll also try to find the songs in good quality ^^

And of course, Crayak was a reference to Sauron ^^

[donut]

What do you think of this for the howlers?

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMC14NbXZgA[/youtube]

'Animal' and 'animal I have become' are pretty good, and yeah animal fits rachel pretty well

odd that we have so many for rachel and tobias and hardly any for anyone else.

Anyone think of one for visser 3?

I was actually thinking 'free' for a controller, maybe jake in 6

and 'what have you done' is also good for Visser, when Marco and his mom are talking


Can anyone think of some for the HBC?

[Qwerty the Charliecorn]

Don't know if it's already been used (my apologies if it has), but Butterflies and Hurricanes by Muse always reminds me of Animorphs, especially toward the end when they were preparing for the full-scale war.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hucz0qsXEUQ[/youtube]

[Dameg]

Nice! For Jake in the volume #1 ^^

And the Megadeth one for the Howlers isn't bad at all ^^

I'm gonna add them in the list. (Muse Butterflies & Hurricanes for #1 Jake, if you agree, I think it's the best place, and Megadeth My Creation for #26 Howlers)

[CounterInstinct]

You know, the song Tobias was referring to on the Anti-Morphing Ray arc. It was a Goo Goo Dolls song, and it made people a little bit more... intimate. Rachel and Tobias, included. It was so popular even a hawk remembers it.

Could it be Iris, by any chance?

The lyrics, especially the second verse, hits Tobias pretty hard too.

[Alic]

I'm sure you can google it and youtube has a lot of videos..
I don't know what song it is

[musicman88]

"Iris" was the first song I thought of when I saw the title myself...

[Terenia]

The Goo Goo Dolls topic has been merged with this one, 'soundtrack'.

[Dameg]

What is that song??? (I mean "Iris")

[A ghost you know]

(I haven't actually listened to this version, but it's tagged "Official Version" so I'm going to cross my fingers and hope it's the one I know. I can't listen to it right now to be sure.)
