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.

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.
