I need some tunes.

[heavensealed.livejournal.com]

So, long story short, I've been working on a Code Geass FST for some time now, but I'm having trouble finding songs to include for a few characters. I really want it to cover more of the entire series than what I have now so I can truely call it a Code Geass FST. If it's only for a small portion, I might as well call it something else right? ^^; So, if you guys can point me in the direction of any songs I could use for the following characters/pairings, that would be great. And I'll make sure to note when I post the FST who you are if I end up picking one of your songs.

-SuzaEuphie
-C.C.
-Kallen
-Nunnally
-Shirley (Possibly romantically directed at Lelouch?)

If you have a song that you think will fit, just post a link to somewhere I can listen to it, or to the lyrics of the song, and maybe a little drabble about why you think it's a good song. Thanks a bunch, guys, and I can't wait to hear what you've got.

BTW, even if other people have suggested a lot for one thing, don't be afraid to suggest something else. Everyone thinks of the fandom a bit differently, so what you've got I might like better than what's already there.

Alright, I'm done ranting. I can has ur songs nao?

**EDIT** Be warned, I am fairly picky. I apologize. OTL

Because this was the first thing that popped to mind xD

7 Minutes in Heaven (Atavan Halen) - Fall Out Boy, for SuzaEuphie


"I keep telling myself, I keep telling myself
I'm not the desperate type
(but you got me looking in through blinds)"

"sitting out dances on the floor
trying to forget everything that isn't you
I'm not going home alone
Because I don't do too well on my own"

I'll try to think about some ones for the other characters later xD

[heavensealed.livejournal.com]

Ooo, I like that song~ Fall Out Boy is always good, but it think it would be a bit ironic to use them for SuzaEuphie. *laughs* If anything, I think you may have just added something to my own personal playlist. =3

Anything else you can come up with would be great. But just to warn you, I'm picky. -.-;;;

[isuzuchan44.livejournal.com]

Yesss
Fall Out Boy owns.
But yeah, a bit ironic for SuzaEuphie (it was just the first thing to come to mind)

Hmmm
I wanna say That Green Gentleman (Things Have Changed) by Panic At The Disco for Shirley, but it's also kind of off.

I would suggest She Had The World by Panic, also, for Lelouch -> Kallen, but that's not what you're looking for. Ugu. xD

Kiss My Sass by Cobra Starship would be a great lolz song for C.C., but I don't see it happening.
Ahh, if only I didn't just listened to those hip bands. xD

"The Scientist" by Coldplay also makes me think of Shirley and Lelouch, but I don't think it'd fit yours.

[heavensealed.livejournal.com]

That's fine. >w<

I really like that Panic! at the Disco song (I can certainly see Lelouch singing that about Shirley at some point), but as you said, some of it's a bit off. Hm, still, maybe it can work. I need more stuff for Season one than for R2 though. -.-;;; Panic! writes good stuff though. I should get some more of their songs just for me.

I really do like these songs you picked. It's just, eh, they don't fit where I need them too. -.-;;

And I'm having a "Bonus Tracks" section for things that were a bit too cracky but I still wanted to include. =D

[inksmears]

Sally's Song from the Nightmare Before Christmas (though I like Fiona Apple's version of the song best) seems to fit either C.C. or Kallen in regards to Lelouch near the end of season 2. I guess I leave it up to you to decide which character you wanna use it for. :)

Lyrics

[heavensealed.livejournal.com]

Aw, the lyrics do seem to fit, though for some reason I thought Shirley. ^^; Like I said, everyone had different ideas. I'll certainly keep that one in mind, thanks!

[inksmears]

... Shirley actually works better than Kallen and C.C.

Clearly you're better at this than me. XD

[heavensealed.livejournal.com]

XD Well, that's what this is all about. I'm strongly considering that one. Thank you. <3

[inksmears]

No problem! I look froward to seeing this FST~

[heavensealed.livejournal.com]

Well, just to warn you, in comparison to what other people have put up, I think this is going to be a fairly large collection. ^^;;

Estimation: 25+ songs.

[inksmears]

Pfft, large collections are awesome! I LOVE LOVE LVOE FSTs because I enjoy getting new music. So the more the better IMHO, :D

[snoozy.livejournal.com]

On the top of my mind, i've always thought that "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen and "Lies" by Evanescence fit Lelouch.

[heavensealed.livejournal.com]

Interesting choices. I really only need the stuff that I listed, though, thanks for the input. I have quite a few songs for Lelouch already. ^^;

[snoozy.livejournal.com]

oh lol, wtf? i did not even notice that Lelouch is not there, lol, sorry. //i just usually take it as default, haha

[heavensealed.livejournal.com]

That's fine. I appreciate you taking the time to post. *pets* =3

[snoozy.livejournal.com]

Hum, then about Kallen, i believe "Runaway" by Jon Bon Jovi.

http://www.imeem.com/artists/bon_jovi/music/qOLLBn1L/bon-jovi-runaway/

//i would have it, in one of my own FSTs about her, but i am lazy lately to do it, so lol.

[heavensealed.livejournal.com]

Geh, the link didn't work. *looks up lyrics*

Well, I can certainly see that fitting Kallen, but I guess the way I'm kinda doing it is having a song I could see the characters singing.

You should do the FST! I'm sure people would love to hear it! ^^

[snoozy.livejournal.com]

Ah, so you want that concept, it is more difficult like this. 8D
Well good luck ~

[heavensealed.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know, but that's just how I think. ^^; Thanks for trying, though!

[peekaydee.livejournal.com]

idk if this even fits her, but "talk" by coldplay always made me think of cc.

lyrics (http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/3530822107858538944/)

[heavensealed.livejournal.com]

Hn... I can see it fitting in Geass somewhere, but as for C.C. I'm not sure. I'll look in to seeing if I can find another character this fits with, though. *ponders* Thank you~

[fun-french-fri.livejournal.com]

for shirley towards lelouch, I thought of "for reasons unknown" by the killers.

But my heart, it dont beat, it dont beat the way it used to.
And my eyes, they dont see you no more.
And my lips, they dont kiss, they don’t kiss the way they used to, and my eyes don’t recognize you at all.

For reasons unknown; for reasons unknown.

[heavensealed.livejournal.com]

I can see how this would fit for them, but... Gah, I'm so picky with my stuff. -.-;; My mind is always like, "RAWR, NEEDS BE PERFECT." I feel so bad being so "Eh..." to songs that do work... OTL

[torakaka.livejournal.com]

I have these sitting on my SuzaEuphy mix that I will never finish- so I'll share ^^

If you're going from the characters' POV

Euphy's
My Hero - Paramore (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7WutJSda6M)
Suzaku's [during her last moments]
Sydney - Halifax (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ikPpbxmilM)

[heavensealed.livejournal.com]

Oh look, another Paramore cut. XDD

I already have a couple of their songs on the FST, so the chances of me using that one are pretty slim, that second one does fit though. Depressingly well. DDD=

My first impression is it's a bit gritty for them (plus I have quite a few songs bunched in at that time period!), but we'll see. Thank you!

[torakaka.livejournal.com]

Well, there is an acoustic version of the song too. I struggled with this at first too- I wanted to use the acoustic version bcuz it's slower and nicer and fits them as a couple better. But after I watched the episode and those after, and saw Suzaku's anger, the gritty version fit better ♥

[heavensealed.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but I already have a loathfully-angry-at-Lelouch song for him. >w< Which I love. I'm really just looking for something sweet for them. Sweet, but kind of shows the surfacey, naive nature of their relationship.

...*PICKY* OTL

[torakaka.livejournal.com]

I see.

Falling Slowly by Kris Allen, then, maybe?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0LISmz8WVc

[heavensealed.livejournal.com]

Hn... I do like that song for them, but I'm having a hard time placing who's singing and the time period...

OTL I'm sorry. *headwall* I have a perfection complex.

[kankiin.livejournal.com]

Man, I need an edit post option. Anyways, for C.C., Killer Queen by Queen is a must. Another good one is My Medea by Vienna Teng, in regards to C.C. and her past contracts.

Lyrics/Videos of them here:

http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/q/queen/killer_queen.html
http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/v/vienna_teng/my_medea.html


Also, here's a Lelouch and C.C. duet that I feel really fits their journey over the course of the series. It's not particularly romantic and I'm not sure if you really need a song like this, but just putting it out there.

Canto Alla Vita - Josh Groban & the Corrs
Translated Lyrics/Video here: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/j/josh_groban/canto_alla_vita.html

[heavensealed.livejournal.com]

Agreed. Why don't we have one? D=

Well, I can certainly see how these fit, and that last song is just lovely (Josh Groban, ftw), but I'm not sure they quite fit with what I'm trying to do here. Thank you very much for taking all that effort to try and get the post right, though. I know how frustrating that can be.

at least its not like the kink meme where you can't edit the post at all. Anonymity. OTL

[maddie-san.livejournal.com]

I always think of Shirley when I listen to this one, if it helps.

It's called Glass, by Ingrid Michaelson. (http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/ingridmichaelson/glass.html)

Especially when her memories were gone.

[heavensealed.livejournal.com]

Aw, it does fit that time period very well. So sad. DD= Thank you.

[misaoshiru.livejournal.com]

Mm, I'm not very good at this, but I've always thought "I'm Alive" by Becca (first ED to Kuroshitsuji) fits Kallen pretty well. (It kind of reminds me of her R2 character song.)

[heavensealed.livejournal.com]

*listens* Ooo, I like this song. And I can certainly see where it fits her. I think that's a keeper. =D Thank you~
