Songs?

A very weird thread, I know, but it came into my head on the bus home. Do you know any songs that relate to a character or plot or anything from a Final Fantasy? I thought of Linkin Park - Faint so I’ll use that as an example. As you can guess, its something to do with Tifa :stuck_out_tongue: I thought it was a bit like Tifa thinking about Cloud and stuff. So do you know any songs relating to things from FF, or have I finally lost the plot? :stuck_out_tongue:

Faint

I am a little bit of loneliness a little bit of disregard
Handful of complaints but I can’t help the fact that everybody can see
these scars
I am what I want you to want what I want you to feel
But it’s like no matter what I do, I can’t convince you, to just believe
this is real
So I let go, watching you, turn your back like you always do
Face away and pretend that I’m not
But I’ll be here cause you want what I’ve got

(I can’t feel the way I did before)
(Don’t turn your back on me)
(I won’t be ignored)
(Time won’t heal this damage anymore)
(Don’t turn your back on me)
(I won’t be ignored)

I am a little bit insecure a little unconfident
Cause you don’t understand I do what I can but sometimes I don’t make
sense
I say what you never wanna say but I’ve never had a doubt
It’s like no matter what I do I can’t convince you for once just to hear
me out
So I let go watching you turn your back like you always do
Face away and pretend that I’m not
But I’ll be here 'cause you’re all that I’ve got

(I can’t feel the way I did before)
(Don’t turn your back on me)
(I won’t be ignored)
(Time won’t heal this damage anymore)
(Don’t turn your back on me)
(I won’t be ignored)

Noooo, shields up, resist the emo!

I’m NOT an emo :frowning: Unhealthly obsession with Final Fantasy: yes, but emo? no no no no

angst perhaps? I swear, this word has such a better meaning in German. Anyway, who cares?

The Locke Song (courtesy of the late Johhny Cash - I walk the line)

I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because you’re mine, I walk the line

I find it very, very easy to be true
I find myself alone when each day is through
Yes, I’ll admit that I’m a fool for you
Because you’re mine, I walk the line

As sure as night is dark and day is light
I keep you on my mind both day and night
And happiness I’ve known proves that it’s right
Because you’re mine, I walk the line

You’ve got a way to keep me on your side
You give me cause for love that I can’t hide
For you I know I’d even try to turn the tide
Because you’re mine, I walk the line

I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because you’re mine, I walk the line

The Aeris Song (by Air Supply? or sth)

I
I just died in your arms tonight
It must have been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight

You could take FFI and Die Kritik Der Reinen Vernuft by E. Kant and maintain fighter has been reading that stuff all throughout the game. It’s about how much credit you give to them.

On my part, I was just listening to Johnny :stuck_out_tongue:

:hint: Kaiser’s “Scenes” fic remains funny. Yay Kaiser and the Shakespeare scene.

I always thought David Usher’s “A Day in the Life” was hauntingly apropos for Tidus in FFX.

Did you feel small today when everyone had gone
'Cause I was beaten up and jaded by the news
And underneath the skin the truth is breaking through
So they just sewed me up and spit me out
And I can’t change it
I can’t change this

You you take away the world
And I don’t even know myself now
So how can I know you
And I don’t want to die
And I don’t want to leave this place yet
Just give me one more try

My thoughts are floating as reality explodes
I’m whispering to each of you my friends
And every moment seems to freeze frame through the room
All the colors are electrified
But I can’t see now
I can’t see now

You you take away the world
And I don’t even know myself now
So how can I know you
And I don’t want to die
And I don’t want to leave this place yet
Just give me one more try

And I’m drifting through myself again
Tell me how I got so high
Where the conscience bends the air is thin
And I can’t change it
I can’t change this

You you take away the world
And I don’t even know myself now
So how can I know you
And I don’t want to die
And I don’t want to leave this place yet
Just give me one more try
And I don’t want to die
And I don’t want to leave this place yet
Just give me one more try

One more try, yeah
Just give me one more try
One more try, yeah
Just give me one more try

Das angstenstruben?

Hey, a separatist amidst us!

I was thinking of Angst, as in anxiety,fear etc.

edit: and not always “existencial” Angst which in its 'net use usually amounts to “crap, (s)he doesn’t like me”, “crap, nobody acknoledges my superior intellect/soul” or something similar. I’ve seen more of this on the internet than in my puberty. And they have to use a perfectly good German word for that. Gimme a break!

>Rant mode off.

That felt good. Try it sometime.

(The rant had nothing to do with you Luna. The lyrics provided the sparks :P)

I don’t know why, but Evanescence songs play in my mind when FF cut-scenes appear on the screen. There is a slew of Evanescence material that could match almost any FF character or situation…

Seifer’s theme song while he was just a rebel in search of a cause and before he joined the Revolution (Sorceress) – “We’re not gonna take it” by Twisted Sister:

Oh We’re Not Gonna Take It
no, We Ain’t Gonna Take It
oh We’re Not Gonna Take It Anymore

we’ve Got The Right To Choose And
there Ain’t No Way We’ll Lose It
this Is Our Life, This Is Our Song
we’ll Fight The Powers That Be Just
don’t Pick Our Destiny 'cause
you Don’t Know Us, You Don’t Belong

oh We’re Not Gonna Take It
no, We Ain’t Gonna Take It
oh We’re Not Gonna Take It Anymore

oh You’re So Condescending
your Gall Is Never Ending
we Don’t Want Nothin’, Not A Thing From You
your Life Is Trite And Jaded
boring And Confiscated
if That’s Your Best, Your Best Won’t Do

oh…
oh…
we’re Right/yeah
we’re Free/yeah
we’ll Fight/yeah
you’ll See/yeah

oh We’re Not Gonna Take It
no, We Ain’t Gonna Take It
oh We’re Not Gonna Take It Anymore


But after the Revolutionary movement was crashed, his troops abandoned him, and his spiritual leader was captured and executed, this is Seifer’s song:

Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows that the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
Thats how it goes
Everybody knows

Everybody knows that the boat is leaking
Everybody knows that the captain lied
Everybody got this broken feeling
Like their father or their dog just died

Everybody talking to their pockets
Everybody wants a box of chocolates
And a long stem rose
Everybody knows

Everybody knows that you love me baby
Everybody knows that you really do
Everybody knows that youve been faithful
Ah give or take a night or two
Everybody knows youve been discreet
But there were so many people you just had to meet
Without your clothes
And everybody knows

Everybody knows, everybody knows
Thats how it goes
Everybody knows

Everybody knows, everybody knows
Thats how it goes
Everybody knows

And everybody knows that its now or never
Everybody knows that its me or you
And everybody knows that you live forever
Ah when youve done a line or two
Everybody knows the deal is rotten
Old black joes still pickin cotton
For your ribbons and bows
And everybody knows

And everybody knows that the plague is coming
Everybody knows that its moving fast
Everybody knows that the naked man and woman
Are just a shining artifact of the past
Everybody knows the scene is dead
But theres gonna be a meter on your bed
That will disclose
What everybody knows

And everybody knows that youre in trouble
Everybody knows what youve been through
From the bloody cross on top of calvary
To the beach of malibu
Everybody knows its coming apart
Take one last look at this sacred heart
Before it blows
And everybody knows

Everybody knows, everybody knows
Thats how it goes
Everybody knows

Oh everybody knows, everybody knows
Thats how it goes
Everybody knows

Everybody knows

- Leonard Cohen

Seifer, you raise his profile far better than the FFVIII writers did. You turn the whiny deluded person into an idealistic deluded person.

an idealistic deluded person= a romantic dreamer?

Ever heard the story of the Red Knight? I guess not, since you were born on the wrong side of the Iron Curtain. Well, allow me to present a synopsis of this marvelous fable.
There was a certain troublesome youth from Minsk. Could have been some other town near the Ural Mountains. Boris Seiferov, a delinquent who embraced the Communist ideology after intense brainwashing, and became a staunch supporter of the global Revolution. He fought heroically, defending Motherland and the adjacent lands that were brought into the Soviet fold. He was decorated with countless medals and orders for his exploits. Captain Seiferov became a living legend only to witness, a few years later, the collapse of the Soviet Empire, the demise of most of its satellite states, and the end of his and Lenin’s dream. The Red Knight became a nonentity.

Everybody knows that the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
Thats how it goes
Everybody knows

Is that how you perceive him? I have seen a multitude of pejoratives describing him: a pawn, zero, an irrational motherfucka, a trigger-happy freak, a bully, a dumbass etc, etc. But a “whiny individual”? Interesting.

If that’s the case, this is just for you …… … Dad :wink:


I’ve got another song, for Seifer’s nemesis this time. On a few occasions Squall felt completely lost, powerless and confused. Just a quote as a reminder:
“This is crazy. I don’t know what’s going on anymore. I feel like a helpless puppet being manipulated in some major scheme."

So, the song that fits this event (and some others) would be State of Confusion by The Kinks:

Woke up in a panic,
Like somebody fired a gun
I wish I could be dreaming,
But the nightmare’s just begun.
There’s flooding in the basement,
There’s water all around.
There’s woodworm in the attic
And the ceiling just fell down.
I’m in a state (state)
Of confusion (whooooh).
I’m in a state (state)
Of confusion (whooooh).

All the dirty dishes
Are still in the kitchen sink.
The tumble dryer’s broken,
Now the telly’s on the blink.
My girlfriend’s packed her bags
And moved out to another town.
She couldn’t stand the boredom
When the video broke down.
Don’t know why I feel so bad.
Is it the weather, or am I going mad?
Don’t know why I feel this way.
I don’t know whether I’m coming or I’m going,
Can’t cover up 'cause it’s obviously showing.
It’s a state (state)
Of confusion (whooooh).
We’re in a state (state)
Of confusion (whooooh).
I don’t know whether I’m coming or I’m going.

Should feel happy, should feel glad.
I’m alive and it can’t be bad,
But back on planet earth they shatter the illusion,
The world’s going 'round in a state of confusion.

Standing on an island
In the middle of the road.
Traffic either side of me,
Which way will I go?
I should’ve stayed at home,
I should have never come outside.
Now I wish I never tried
To cross the other side.
I’m in a state (state)
State of confusion (whooooh).
It’s a state (state)
Of confusion (whooooh).

Lyin’ awake in a cold, cold sweat,
Am I overdrawn, am I going in debt?
It gets worse, the older that you get.
No escape from the state of confusion I’m in.
State of confusion I’m in.
Whooooh

You know the Heavy Metal song from Final Fantasy X? The one that plays at the start when Sin attacks Zanarkand?

Well, I always felt that it didn’t really fit the game. It was cool to hear, but it’s too modern for FFX. I always thought it would fit FF7 better, what with all the punk-looking characters. :stuck_out_tongue:

FF7AC had an almost completely hard rock soundtrack, so there you go. :sunglasses:
And the song in question is called “Otherworld”.

Man, given how much of a whiny little bitch cloud is, anything by Stinkin Park would fit.

This is an interesting thread. I’ll have to think of something and get back to you.

Not necessarily. Seifer’s dream would serve two people max, him and his Sorceress (probably as a mirror of his own ambition). He looked down on and didn’t care about most other people.

Weirdly enough, yes.

[QUOTE=]Is that how you perceive him? I have seen a multitude of pejoratives describing him: a pawn, zero, an irrational motherfucka, a trigger-happy freak, a bully, a dumbass etc, etc. But a “whiny individual”? Interesting.

He doesn’t stop for a second to think why he fails all the time. Do I sound like dad? :stuck_out_tongue: Cool song anyway.

I’d say it was half piano solo, half orchestrated heavy metal (if that makes sense, but I think it’s the best way of describing it).

I presume you mean Linken Park? I like them…especially Faint, which is at the top of the page :stuck_out_tongue:

I created an interesting thread 8-D I feel so proud…

Actually, I was referring to LinkIn Park, but yeah. Sorry, no offense, but I think they’re fucking pathetic, and that’s about the nicest thing I can say without getting banned.

I had actually thought of something last night, but it escaped me. I suppose Metallica’s Master of Puppets would be a sound choice for Sephiroth’s control over cloud.

And AC didnt have that much piano music. It really was all techo/metal driven.

This is going to get me looks but I could not help but think of the Vatican City National Anthem and Deiling City’s national anthem.

Heres a link where you can find the Vatican’s theme, not sure where to find D.C.'S THEME. But they are eerily alike.
