    Theme Song For Your Life
    #1
    So this is a combination of The character above reminds me of... and the 30 Songs Challenge. Basically, you throw out a song that the character above reminds you of (bonus points for linking or embedding the music video), and then the person you gave that song to has to pick some of the lyrics and incorporate that theme/feeling/what have you in a thread or post. It's okay if the song isn't very Victorian-appropriate if it genuinely reminds you of the character above you, because they can do something "inspired by" rather than using the lyrics literally.

    English songs only please ;)

    Come back and edit in links to your song-inspired thread/post when you have it up so that we can all enjoy seeing what you did with it!

    I feel like Reuben should be an easy one to start with. ;D

    EDIT: here's Ben's!

    Damn you Lynn, now I can't give you rebetika. And jokes aside some Greek songs do give me Charming feels. xD

    I thought of Live While We're Young by One Directio. ;)

    I have this modern au where Thom is a nightclub owner so here's I Took A Pill In Ibiza. It also reminds me of Thom because it talks about former glories and he had all that memory loss shit!

    I'm Good - The Mowgli's
    Noah makes me think of upbeat songs, and this one is about the power of love and friendship, so... yeah.

    I KNEW IF I WAITED A FEW DAYS I'D FIND A GOOD LUCE SONG.

    The Mess Inside, The Mountain Goats.

    EDIT: And lyrics just in case, because he likes that sort of gravely sound quality and it might be hard to decipher sometimes.

    @'Lucinda Cavanaugh'

    EDIT AGAIN: here is your blood sacrifice, ori.

    Fight Song by Rachel Platten! I think the lyrics are self-explanatory, but the ones that really stick out to me for Hannah are in the chorus! :)
    Scarce, but still around! <3
    Please send all alerts to @'Imogen MacFusty', thank you!

    One of my fave all time songs, Home makes me think of Imogen, or rather, immac. XD
    Particularly these lyrics:
    Man, oh, man, you're my best friend/I scream it to the nothingness/There ain't nothing that I need

    Sympathy For The Devil for no particular reason. It was either that or Master Of The House, but I felt like that would be too cliche. xP

    edit: Done!

    I told you once that it gives me Louvibes! Especially this part:

    I am a small and gentle man
    Who carries the world upon his shoulders

    &

    And my behavior is hard to understand
    When I'm like a phone with no connection
    But I'm still doing all I can
    To try and get me some redemption

    &

    And I'm knee deep in sinking sand
    Crying out for your attention

    AND BASICALLY THE WHOLE SONG, ENJOY :P
