Any particular songs that remind you of the books?

When I listen to Demons by Brian McFadden, I think of Lord Loss instantly. I listened to that when I read it.

There are lots that do that for me but none that I can think of at the moment.

In the later books of the Saga of Darren Shan its Behind Blue Eyes by Limp Bizkit.

In the Demonata saga I always seem to think of Vim and Vigor by Yoko Shimomura (Kingdom Hearts II) whenever theres a fight with Lord Loss.

AFI's cd, Sing the Sorrow
PostPosted: Mon Oct 23, 2006 1:52 pm


For the 12th book of the Cirque I believe 'In the End' by Linkin Park would go greatly, and for the Demonta Linkin Park's 'Numb'. I also agree with whoever said AFI's cd(s) although some of the songs wouldn't go. And I think a lot of My Chemical Romance songs would do well, 'Vampires Will Never Hurt You,' And pretty much every song from their 'Three Cheers...' cd. For some reason My Chemical Romance's 'Welcome to the Black Parade' makes me think of the Cirque du Freak. The 'Black Parade' cd (the one with 'welcome..' on it) comes out 2marrow but I've heard some of the songs on it and a lot of them seem to fit well with both the Cirque and the Demonta. Also Panic! at the Disco's 'I Write Sins Not Tradgidies' music vid (not neccesarily the song) reminds me of the Cirque. And I have to say that 'Bohemian Rhapsody' by Queen goes with both of the series, even if it doesn't, cuz I can put it with every book or movie xd . And in the 11th book of the saga at the end 'Animal I Have Become', 3 Days Grace, seems to fit Darren perfectly. 'Headstrong' by Trapt makes me think of the whole Demonta, mostly Lord Loss though.

OH!!! This is hilarious... It could easily be the vampire/vampaneze theme song it's called 'Blood' it's a bonus track on my chemical romances cd the black parade-- I'll edit with the lyrics to the song, its soo funny

edit:
"Blood"

Well they encourage all complete cooperation,
Send you roses when they think you need to smile.
I can't control myself because I don't know how,
And they love me for it honestly, I'll be here for a while.

So give them blood, blood, gallons of the stuff!
Give them all that they can drink and it will never be enough.
So give them blood, blood, blood.
Grab a glass because there's going to be a flood!

A celebrated man amongst the gurneys.
They can fix me proper with a bit of luck.
The doctors and the nurses they adore me so,
But it's really quite alarming cause I'm such an awful *uck. (Oh thank you!)

I gave you blood, blood, gallons of the stuff,
I gave you all that you can drink and it has never been enough.
I gave you blood, blood, blood,
I'm the kind of human wreckage that you love.


If you have the time and would like to hear the song with the music here's a link! ]http://youtube.com/watch?v=5Kq28D18Jkc

Even in Death by Evanescence reminds me of Arra Sails and Larten Crepsley, together in paradise.

Wasting the Dawn by The 69 Eyes reminds me of Cirque Du Freak from Darren's point of view.

There are a couple Japanese songs:

Shinjitsu no Uta : Do as Infinity
Innocent Sorrow : Abigdon Boys School
boukoku kakusei catharsis : Ali Project

And both 'Chou' and 'Koe' by Tsukiko Amano

They are all very sad songs when you listen to them and read the lyrics.

For some odd reason, "Hollow" By Submersed reminds me of Darren's stuggles as a half-vampire, then sowly it talks about how he grows to like Larten and so on.

..But that'sjust me. n.n;;

I just listened to that song I mentioned, Demons by Brian McFadden, and I suddenly got an urge to re-read Lord Loss. And if I weren't in the middle of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, I would have. I mean, just read the lyrics:


Have you ever been lost in a different world?
Where everything you once knew is gone
And you, find yourself powerless
With everything that exists
You’re numb

Will I ever break free?

I search my world but I can’t find you
You’re standing there but I can’t touch you
Try to talk but the words are just not there
I can feel a sense of danger
You stare at me like I’m a stranger
Paralyzed and you don’t seem to care
The demons in my dreams

If you become a nobody
Blind, to your family
Who would you be?
And life has gone into reverse
Re-living every hurt along the way

Everything that you fear
Is calling you and drawing near

I search my world but I can’t find you
You’re standing there but I can’t touch you
I try to talk but the words are just not there
I can feel a sense of danger
You stare at me like I’m a stranger
Paralyzed and you don’t seem to care
The demons in my dreams

Wake me up and let’s go
I’m about to explode

I search my world but I can’t find you
You’re standing there but I can’t touch you
I try to talk but the words are just not there
I can feel a sense of danger
You stare at me like I’m a stranger
Paralyzed and you don’t seem to care
The demons in my dreams
