Character Themes

Post Reply New Topic

Any other writers out there tend to associate certain songs with certain characters in their stories?

Like, for example, I tend to strongly associate the song Kryptonite, by Three Doors Down with Damien, the main character in my post-cyberpunk novel-in-progress, Post Black. It just fits his character and the situation he's put in so well. Just an ordinary guy trying to keep his sanity intact and his friends safe as personal and global events continue to spiral out of their meager control.

Not necessarily songs, but styles of music.

Yes, know it's a necropost, but here are more character and character-relationship themes I've found over time; these are just the ones off the top of my head that I can remember right away:

The Dispossessed:

Kai & Nika's relationship: Vapor - Necessary Response
Kai's Theme: Chrome - VNV Nation
Nika's Theme: Fadeaway - Celldweller
Garrin & Lena's relationship: We Are - Vertical Horizon
Garrin's Theme: When I'm Gone - Three Doors Down
Lena's Theme: If Everyone Cared - Nickelback

Darkfire:

Trish & Alicia's relationship: Why Don't You Hate Me - Neuroticfish
Trish's Theme: Not Listening - Papa Roach
Alicia's Theme: Take Me - Papa Roach

New Zero:
