Soundtrack?

[meret.livejournal.com]

I recently found two songs I think would be perfect for OUAT. Any other suggestions for a OUAT soundtrack?

1.Blinding by Florence and the Machine. Lyrics. It's Great for Snow/Charming or Mary/David I think. In fact I wouldn't mind it as the show's theme song. :)
2.Howl by Florence and the Machine works great for the Sheriff Graham or Sheriff/Ruby IMO. Lyrics.

3 Libras - A Perfect Circle (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9MAg9E5K3w) Lyrics (http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/perfectcircle/3libras.html) - Most obviously Mary/David, but works in a general way for how all these character HAD relationships, only now they can't remember and are missing each other every step.

The Wind that Shakes the Barley - Dead Can Dance (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nD2y_thDWHY) Lyrics (http://www.metrolyrics.com/the-wind-that-shakes-the-barley-lyrics-dead-can-dance.html) - Not a literal song, but the sound and sentiment, of being torn between two worlds, and losing, at least temporarily, your love. And, hopefully, the time they'll stand up and fight the curse. ;)

Thank you! These are wonderful! I wasn't familiar with Dead Cam Dance. She has a gorgeous voice!

What Have You Done by Within Temptation (I think of it as Ruby/Gold's theme)
Let Me Speak by Daughter Daughter (^same reason)
Criminal by Britney Spears (^same)

I actually complied a playlist at home I'll post later...

Thanks! They sound great. I'm moving tomorrow, but I'll definitely try and check them out later in the week once I get settled in my new place. :)

[meret.livejournal.com]

I'm eager to see the play list too. :)

[meret.livejournal.com]

I finally had a chance to really listen to them after moving. They're wonderful! I especially like the 2nd one. Great voice. Thanks again! :)

This is what comes to mind-- Charmed Life by Leigh Nash

Also this--

Thank you! I haven't heard either of these before. They're terrific! I can especially see David playing the 2nd one to Mary. :)

The first one is a soundtrack of Uptown Girls (Brittany Murphy's movie with Dakota Fanning) and I vaguely remember the director saying in a very old interview that they wanted to show New York in a (modern) fairy tale kind of way, visually. Anyway, glad you liked them. That's what I thought of the second, too!

This one definitely makes me think of Mary/David.

And, of course, you can't have a soundtrack for a show with Red Riding Hood without

And this one (as well as Alice's Cooper's original version) I could see for many a OUAT pairing - be it Regina/Graham, Ruby/Mr. Gold (which were my first thought), Emma/Graham, and so on.

It's not shown in the lyrics, but this music video...

Thanks! They're definitely referencing fairy tales etc. :)

Oh I so agree with There's a Place for Us! It played during the end of one Narnia movie (I think The Voyage of the Dawn Treader?) and it made me tear up. I'm not even one to cry easily. I'm corny at times though.

[meret.livejournal.com]

These are terrific! I especially love the last one. I could totally see them using that on the show. Thanks! :)

I've been listening to
Far From Home - by Five Finger Death Punch
Undertow - The Fray feat. Timbaland
Monster You Made - Pop Evil

(probably would be for Regina or Rumplestiltskin)

If you want the full playlist you can message me - some things I apply to any and all fandoms just because I like the songs. Can't tell if that's what's happening here or not :P

[meret.livejournal.com]

I was asking about songs specifically for OUAT. Thank you for these! Very cool! :)

[wicked-reigns.livejournal.com]

I am almost always listening to music when I am writing fanfiction.

I must agree that What Have You Done by Within Temptation fits VERY WELL :D

And I meant that sometimes I use the same songs for EVERY fandom, and didn't want to repost all those. Everyone has "those songs". LOL.
