I actually don't know if this thread belongs in the Desk or in the Character Development... So if you want to move it, Jaye, feel free!
Most of us have one of those characters that just attract songs. At other times, the perfect song will just pop out at is - and it so perfectly describes an aspect of a character's personality that it belongs to the character now.
That is the purpose of this song. Of course, you can be careful and keep it spoiler free if you want; but post the songs that make you think of your character or your novel. Feel free to post the lyrics, too (just remember to always credit the singer or songwriter)!
For example, Jaye has said that On My Own, by Ashes Remain makes her think of Jace. In this way, On My Own is the "perfect" song for Jace.
Do you have any character songs?

Shine your way by Owl City is our theme for our story: To Catch a Dragon (title up for debate).

I've never heard that song, but I looked up the lyrics, and it looks awesome. I have so many character songs, that I need a few days to think over which ones I should list here first.

Ya...well i know how that feels. We basically have a theme song or two (or three...) for each of our 17 characters...and that's just in one book... P.S. Looking forward to seeing your choices for your stories!

Centuries and Immortals are the theme songs for my book. They are by Fall Out Boy, who has a lot of bad songs, but these are ok. Not For a Moment by Meredith Andrews is my theme song for my mc Scarlett.

One of the songs I've been playing this week really makes me think of Jace. Belong, by Chris Rice. Here's a link to the Youtube Video. There's lyrics in the Youtube video, but they're inaccurate, so I'll put the true lyrics here:

Blessings by Laura Story has always reminded me of Jace. Here are the lyrics.
We pray for blessings We pray for peace Comfort for family, protection while we sleep We pray for healing, for prosperity We pray for Your mighty hand to ease our suffering All the while, You hear each spoken need Yet love us way too much to give us lesser things
'Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops What if Your healing comes through tears What if a thousand sleepless nights Are what it takes to know You're near What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise
We pray for wisdom Your voice to hear And we cry in anger when we cannot feel You near We doubt Your goodness, we doubt Your love As if every promise from Your Word is not enough All the while, You hear each desperate plea And long that we have faith to believe
'Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops What if Your healing comes through tears What if a thousand sleepless nights Are what it takes to know You're near And what if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise
When friends betray us When darkness seems to win We know that pain reminds this heart That this is not, this is not our home It's not our home
'Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops What if Your healing comes through tears And what if a thousand sleepless nights Are what it takes to know You're near What if my greatest disappointments Or the achings of this life Is the revealing of a greater thirst this world can't satisfy And what if trials of this life The rain, the storms, the hardest nights Are Your mercies in disguise
And I just recently listened to a Michael W. Smith song I hadn't listened to in a while and the lyrics made me think of Jace.
Who is the you that no one else can see? In your heart the lonely one afraid to be Lost again, need a friend
You hide your soul to keep the hurt inside All alone, your tears call out into the night Is He there, does He care?
Yes, I know your name, every prayer you pray I'm the one who brought you to this place The voice who sings to you, the hand that clings to you Oh my child, I've always known your name, known your name
I hold you close to Me, close to heart And this kind of love will find you anywhere you are Never fear, I am here
Yes, I know your name, every prayer you pray I'm the one who brought you to this place The voice who sings to you, the hand that clings to you Oh my child, I've always known your name, known your name
Yes, I know your name, every prayer you pray I'm the one who brought you to this place The voice who sings to you, the hand that clings to you Oh my child, I've always known your name, known your name

the perfect song for a half-blooded ryrik is monster by skillet, it is also a good song for jace (I think this song describes what Jace thinks about himself)

Speaking of Jace, another perfect song for him is Somebody's Watching, by Chris Rice. *sigh*

And while we're on the topic of songs about Jace, I always think him when I hear the song "Hello, my Name is.." by Matthew West. Also, I think the song Brave by Moriah Petersreally fits Kyrin

Those are good songs for them, Misty. I've never thought about it, but they do fit.

It's kind of odd though. When I played it for my mom, she gave me 'the look'.

Yup. Just like the song 'beautiful life' by trip lee. It's pro-life, but has some awkward lyrics.

okay so I know this was done on goodreads, but I don't have an account on it so I wanted to do it here. this a song redone to match a Ilyon Character; Jace. the Orignal song is by "My Darkest days" and the song is "Save Yourself" (I use to listen to it a lot back when I didn't really listen to good songs. It's not the beat song, but rewritten I think it fits Jace)
so here it is
I’m the Ryrik son straight out of th’ pit And you’re girl with a haunted heart If you’re smart you’d run and protect yourself From the monster living in the dark There’s nothing to be gained cause I can never change And you can never understand my sickness (I’ll never understand my sickness)
Save your-self! From a life full of lies and a heart full of pain and sorrow Save your-self! From the choices I make cause nothing but failure follows me
Save yourself!
You’re always there when it hurts like hell I've never needed anyone so much There’s no-one else I love and I curse myself Cause the right thing is to give you up
I’m overcome by shame cause I can never change And you can never understand my sickness (I’ll never understand my sickness)
Save your-self! From a life full of lies and a heart full of pain and sorrow Save your-self! From the choices I make cause nothing but failure follows me Save your-self! From a life full of lies and a heart full of pain and sorrow Save your-self! From the choices I make cause nothing but failure follows me
Save your-self!
You'll never understand my sickness (I’ll never understand my sickness) Cause i don’t understand my sickness (I’ll never understand my sickness)
Save your-self From a life full of lies and a heart full of pain and sorrow Save your-self From the choices I make cause nothing but failure follows me Save your-self From a life full of lies and a heart full of pain and sorrow Save your-self From the choices I make cause nothing but failure follows me
Save yourself!
if this song is to much, or is offensive to anyone. Tell me so I could delete this post
