Geass thematic music

[melengro.livejournal.com]

What music do you think fits the characters, relationships, entities, and events of Code Geass, especially given a recent finale? The music can be any genre, any artist, any time.

 

Schneizel

Boom Like That, Mark Knopfler. It's about McDonald's, but if you take out the Ray-Kroc-specific lyrics it could fit him perfeclty. Or a version of Schneizel who gave a shit, anyway. I've got the name, I need the town, they sell up in the end and it all shuts down. Sometimes you've got to be an S.O.B. if you want to make a dream reality. Competition--send them south. If they're going to drown, put a hose in their mouth.

Lelouch during Zero Requiem

Hallelujah--the original version, with Leonard Cohen's original final verse: And even though it all went wrong, I'll stand before the Lord of Song with nothing on my lips but 'hallelujah.' Enough said.

Lelouch and Nunnally

The Night Starts Here, Stars. For sheer angst value. The scary part, the aftershock, the moment that it takes to fall apart; the time we have, the task at hand, the love it takes to destroy a man...

C.C. and Lelouch post-finale if you subscribe to that theory

Two of Us. This Beatles song is upbeat yet strangely melancholy, a distinguishing feature of the Let It Be album. You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead. Two of us wearing raincoats, standing so low in the sun, you and me chasing paper, getting nowhere on our way back home.

Clovis, Euphie, Shirley, Rolo, Charles, Marianne, V.V., and possibly Lelouch now

Litanei by Johann Georg Jacobi. It's for All Souls Day. Und die nie der Sonne lachten, unterm Mond auf Dornen wachten, Gott, in reinen Himmelslicht, einst zu sehn von Angesicht: Alle die von hinnen schieden, alle Seelen ruhn in Frieden! And those who never smiled at the sun, waiting on the thorns beneath the moon to see God in the pure heavenly light and look Him just once in the face: all who have parted from here, all souls rest in peace!

Nunnally, Kaguya, and Tianzi as leaders of the new world

Girls Just Want To Have Fun. Yeah, I don't know either.

Seriously. Lelouch.

[lavaliere]

Dude. Viva La Vida mind. :o

[anemoneoflight.livejournal.com]

Why not Viva La Vida Loca? xD

[theprerogative.livejournal.com]

Oh that just made me tear up again D=

[kuroiinu-chan.livejournal.com]

Not again...

[lavaliere]

Hallelujah~ One of my favorite songs. ;~;

I'm still bawling over Viva La Vida by Coldplay for Lelouch. no, I haven't had it on repeat for the last couple of days; not at all

And call it a biased, but I still think Valkyrie Missile by Angels and Airwaves fits:
I've got a lot oh a hell of a of lot to say;
Even if it hurts sometimes.
And if you will, come and hear the message.
And everyone, everyone will hope and pray,
That the best will sure survive.
And if it's true then you'll feel the message.
A perfect life; what a perfect brand-new day,
And we're the next in line.
And do you think that you have it in you?
And if you're here and you're curious tonight,
Then I'll give you a free ride.
Take a chance, 'cause you know you want to.


I also love Top of the World by AAR for Lelouch. ;;

edit: I kind of want to add Let It Be by the Beatles.

[inksmears]

This Is Not The End by The Bravery reminds me of Suzaku to Lelouch, promising to always accept the "Geass" Lelouch gave him and carry on the world of peace Lelouch created.

Sort of. lol

I actually wanna attempt a Geass FST sometime soon.

[mintine.livejournal.com]

wow that was a lot of muse

[melengro.livejournal.com]

I don't think songs written for Geass count, but One More Chance! IS probably one of the better bittersweet songs to come out of the whole affair.

[leitao.livejournal.com]

"My Old Friend" by Emilie Simon is my Suzaku-to-Lelouch song. I mean, just look at the lyrics! It's perfect; could fit Suzaku's feelings towards Lelouch becoming Zero and killing Euphemia (or, conversely, Lelouch's feelings towards Suzaku handing him over to the emperor and taking Nunnally away, replacing her with Rolo, etc.). . . .

"My old friend, my old friend
You hurt me
I trusted you and I was wrong
It's almost as if the sky
Fell in my shoulders
It's funny 'cause in my mind I didn't see it coming,
I didn't see it coming
From you

Now she's gone
It snows
Over my smile today
Now she's gone, and I know
She is miles away
Now she's gone in a sad way
It's a sad, sad day . . . "

[leelee316.livejournal.com]

For Lelouch My song is It's So Hard to Say goodbye by Boyz to Men.
For NunnallyXLelouch and RoloXLuLu however It's Lay All your Love on Me By Abba Teens

[leelee316.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah and For Kallen It's Summer Night City By Abba

[cosmicbiscuit.livejournal.com]

Working on a FST based on this, actually, so I'll just put down two in particular:

"The Show Must Go On" - Queen (Lelouch)

The show must go on - yeah
The show must go on
I'll face it with a grin
I'm never giving in
On with the show!

I'll top the bill
I'll overkill
I have to find the will to carry on
On with the
On with the
Show!

"Summer, Highland Falls" - Billy Joel (Lelouch and Suzaku's history)
So we’ll argue and we’ll compromise
And realize that nothing’s ever changed
For all our mutual experience
Our separate conclusions are the same
Now we are forced to recognize our inhumanity
A reason coexists with our insanity

And though we choose between reality and madness
It’s either sadness or euphoria.

[cjloveslink.livejournal.com]

Fuck Yeah For Queen!! It's perfect!

[dr-wats0n.livejournal.com]

Your Funeral, My Trial (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ml7b8_tq4do), for Suzaku. Or Lelouch, doesn't matter, it suits them both ;___;

I am a crooked man
And I've walked a crooked mile
Night, the shameless widow
Doffed her weeds, in a pile
The stars all winked at me
They shamed a child
Your funeral, my trial

[snowdevil-crow.livejournal.com]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IilvBVHWueA <-- that song, for Lelouch and Suzaku. Before ep 25 anyway... maybe even after... >_>

I dunno about others for right now...

[snowdevil-crow.livejournal.com]

wait-wait: Iris by GooGoo Dolls for Lelouch.

You know it fits...

"And I don't want the world to see me, cause I don't think that they'd understand..."
>_>

[dorkbunny.livejournal.com]

(for any of you donnie darko fans out there)

Mad World by Gary Jules - Suzaku

And I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
the dreams in which I'm dying
are the best I've ever had....

Also, props on the Beatles C.C./Lelouch song - never would have thought of it; can't agree more. :*) two of us... on our way back home~~ [cart driver lulu ending pl0x >.>]

[familiarplaces.livejournal.com]

WIN. i didn't even think of mad world, but i can imagine it beginning to play when nunnally starts crying over lelou and carrying on over to play during all the happy ending scenes.

[setsunator.livejournal.com]

Suzaku/Lelouch - "With or Without You" by Breathe Carolina (U2 cover)

- Suzaku can't live with Lelouch (world peace can't be obtained, he's the one who killed Euphie, etc), but he can't live either without Lelouch (he's his best friend, his lover lulz canon?, umm.. what else? Well just look at Suzaku's face when he stabbed Lulu ;___;)
- And you give yourself away line. Pretty obvious innit? (Lelouch DIED FOR OUR SINS GODDAMMIT gave himself away for the world peace)
Why Breathe Carolina instead of U2? I just like this version better :D

Lelouch and Nunnally - "With Eyes Wide Shut" by Blessthefall

THAT SCENE. Oh man, just.. listen to the song.
I know I'm not there to hold you
Look up see the sky that I do -> Lelouch created a new and better world for Nunnally
You make me the happiest of men
I am the happiest of men
And if god takes me before you
I just want you to know I love you

C.C. - "That's Not My Name" by The Ting Tings

For you Geassfags who can't stop thinking about her real name ... XD. I really want to see an AMV with this song.

Lelouch, Suzaku, Nunnally (When they were kids :)) - "Forever Young" by Youth Group

Baaaaaawwwwwwwwwww ;___;

[melengro.livejournal.com]

Lelouch and Nunnally - "With Eyes Wide Shut" by Blessthefall

Lelouch, Suzaku, Nunnally (When they were kids :)) - "Forever Young" by Youth Group

FUCK YOU. I just stopped crying.

(for a supposed train wreck, this show really does a number on you emotionally, doesn't it?)

[familiarplaces.livejournal.com]

[melengro.livejournal.com]

There's a reason I didn't list Hurt. It's because that's Lelouch's theme song forever and ever so obviously that it scarcely bares mentioning. Which is to say YES EXACTLY.

[mixtapehaven.livejournal.com]

Stars = auto win.
Hallelujah & Stars on the same list = internets being shipped right now bb.

[melengro.livejournal.com]

I humbly accept my internets.

[eggy-egg.livejournal.com]

;_____; Aw, I just stopped crying and then...

TToTT

MUSIC IS A FUCKING POWERFUL THING

[levy.livejournal.com]

Oh, so nice, I like this game. FSTs are love and just a couple of days ago, I was discussing with my friend moon_lolita how awesome a CG musicall could be.. XDD

Giving some of mine, with a bit of translation because some are italian (my mothertongue) songs.

Lelouch 's general theme song has always been Queen - Under Pressure to me, not that I have any rational reason for that, though.. ^^;

Lloyd: Daft Punk - Technologic more the sound and genre of music than the lyric

Jeremiah : (background music for the whole 'Orange' scene with Zero being 'il factotum della città' in the end) Gioachino Rossini - Il barbiere di Siviglia, Largo al factotum

Tohdoh (before joining the BK in s1): the first lines of Cent'anni di solitudine - Modena City Ramblers (rough traslation)"Coronel, hand over your weapons/you can't win, the fight is over already/the church is against you, your allies betray/and you've lost too many of your friends in this war/You took part in 36 revolts/ and 36 revolts you failed / tienes que esperar / just when you less expected it/ a man with your flag in the hand will come"

Villetta to Ohgi (when he was about to be executed in R2 ep.4): Regina Spektor - Samson " You couldn't bring the columns down/ you couldn't destroy a single one [..] and the history books forgot about us / and the Bible didn't mention us/ not even once... you are my sweetest downfall/ I loved you fast"


Ohgi to Villetta (when he was exiled to Hoorai, before they met again): Messico e Nuvole - Paolo Conte (rough traslation)" shes so beautifull, I know / time has gone by and she's still in my veins / how I wish, how I wish / to get back where she is / but I know I won't go /[...] this is a contraband love / it's better to sit her looking at the sky/ in front of me"

Emperor Lelouch (Lelouch POV) : Yann Tiersen - Les Jour Tristes "Hard not to break down and cry /When every idea that you've tried has been wrong
But you must go on /It's hard but you know it's worth the fight/ 'cause you know you've got the truth on your side /When the accusations fly, hold tight / Don't be afraid of what they'll say/ Who cares what cowards think, anyway /They will understand one day, one day "


The Epilogue, Nunnaly: Andrew Lloyd Weber - JCS the Musicall; Could we start again please? "I think you've made your point now/ You've even gone a bit too far to get your message home/ Before it gets too frightening, we ought to call a halt/ so could we start again please?" and the rest of the world joining the chorus

[inulovinkit.livejournal.com]

For Suzaku and Lelouch, I like Forsaken by Within Temptaton--its the song I used for my AMV of them, anwyay. ;_;

[ratsandwich.livejournal.com]

I cooked up a giant list of these a few months ago. xD http://community.livejournal.com/code_geass/890032.html#cutid1

Anywho, U2's 'Sunday Bloody Sunday' reminds me of the series as a whole; and Death Angel's 'The Devil Incarnate' is definitely a Lelouch song.

[cjloveslink.livejournal.com]

I love U2's "Sunday Bloody Sunday"
