Acacia (acaciaa) For those songs that seem to describe your characters or your stories. Post a link to the song, post the lyrics, or both!

Fun. - At Least I'm Not As Sad

Ooh, your characters personalities have good taste in music.

That made no sense. You get what I mean.

It's basically my limited taste in music. I listen to like the same people over and over and over again for like the past three years. Hahaaaaa

I don't have theme songs for all of my characters yet, but right now Bethany Allison's song is Diane, The Skyscraper by Jack's Mannequin.

Mainly because of one line and the whole skyscraper thing, but yeah.

And the late night T.V. talks to me about God but God why can't I sleep?


Everett (CupoJoe) M. (cupojoe) | 66 comments Zippo from Star Wars: How to be a Bounty Hunter

Black Heroes by Ratatat is Zippo's "theme" song because of the many adventures he has had and I think this song really sums it up quite nicely (not to mention Ratatat is what I listen to while writing most of the time).

IDK. My still-unwritten dystopia book seems to be described perfectly with a hymn called "Jesus is Walking with Me". The book has religious themes, and the song talks about challenges and stuff (see my way with words? haha).

I do like the "Barbie Girl" song by: Aqua. But only the chorus and the music part. For my girls.

For my boys. "Call Me Maybe." by that girl with a hard name.
