Theme Music

Malash

Now that there's a few more people here, and we've zeroed in a bit more on who our characters are going to be, I want to ask you all a bit of a strange question: does your character have a theme song? Something that you associate with how you're going to be playing? Something that just pops into your head whenever you think about your character?

If so, what?

Oryx

This is pretty much on repeat. 

Space shark, do-doo do-do-do-doo,
Space shark, do-doo do-do-do-doo,
Space shark, do-doo do-do-do-doo,
Space shark!

Little ship, do-doo do-do-do-doo,
Little ship, do-doo do-do-do-doo,
Little ship, do-doo do-do-do-doo,
Little ship!

Fly away, do-doo do-do-do-doo,
Fly away, do-doo do-do-do-doo,
Fly away, do-doo do-do-do-doo,
Fly away!

Docked at last, do-doo do-do-do-doo,
Docked at last, do-doo do-do-do-doo,
Docked at last, do-doo do-do-do-doo,
Docked at last!

Take the developer's first space flight video and play it at 2× speed.  Add this song.

Then imagine that instead of a calm and carefully controlled demonstration, that it's me frantically trying to figure out the space controls while trying desperately to avoid crashing into a planet.

I think that'll pretty much go for all of us. Craters everywhere.

Pink Floyd - Money

Oh, and if hauling freight is as profitable as I hope; Willie Nelson - On the Road Again

Archer

Take my love, take my land,
Take me where I cannot stand.
I don't care, I'm still free,
You can't take the sky from me. 

Take me out to the black,
Tell them I ain't comin back. 
Burn the land and boil the sea,
You can't take the sky from me.

There's no place, I can be,
Since I've found Serenity. 

And you can't take the sky from me.

Malash

For me, it's this.

Xiru

@Oryx is kinda my hero... 

Villanox

As I am a memelord, so must my character be.

For all my BEASTly friends, I would recommend this gem. As for me, I'm still searching for the perfect tune for my warrior-poet.

If I might make a suggestion:

Meder

When I think of my wealthy Elgan Engineer leaning back on a lush chair, puffing calmly on a delicate pipe as all races approach him to request various services, I hear "Control" by Operators in my head.

Thank you kindly! I am going to beam it to every Ry'nari ship I am about to blow up, just to make them freak out! However, for my actual theme I will go with this.

Jerom

Move aside, this is mine.

Aurelius

Space Oddity!

Xiru

Space Oddity definitely leads off my list.

The rest is a mix of GotG soundtracks and the Interstellar soundtrack.

Girah

Dragula by Rob Zombie

Quell

Less thematic and more just something to bounce in my spaceship to.

I'm really bad about picking out a song, so let me make a little mini-soundtrack here.

Hope that embed works. Lyrically it's always struck me as very scifi. Also, lyrically, obligatory NSFW warning but it's black/death metal so not very intelligible.

Theograth

My soundtrack will be:
“Space Truckin” by Deep Purple
(https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VmB1b087qVQ)

and:

“Ride On” by AC/DC
(https://vimeo.com/171244261)

In equal parts.

Oh, believe me, AC/DC is going on whenever I start blowing things up.

Groot

I think I got Groot's theme song: so here it is!

Zerva

As a Fury/meme: https://youtu.be/ksdpSBLTXHA

For serious: https://youtu.be/TtklZ171mNI

Less directly the lyrics so much as the tone, he's a nice enough dude but very cynical/suspicious of others and wracked by indecision quite a lot, but keeps an upbeat tone all the while.

Kuraksvi

I'm a little late to the party, but here's my theme!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ST86JM1RPl0

It just matches the outlook of my character really well.

Pollivar

Give this a listen.

I thought this was Groot's theme?

Rothare

This song belongs to the entire Amaian race

Playlists for my characters are kinda critical for me in really grasping them. I don't know why. Hides face. But the one song that's at the top right now is:

I like to listen to playlists with the terms "ambient space" when I play games like this. It really puts me in a Blade Runner type of mood.
