I like to pair up music with stories and artwork-music that matches the art and it's mood. I've listened to many kinds of music, but only Stavinsky's "Firebird Suite" captures the essence of Felarya. I grant you, it is because of how it was used in Fantasia 2000. But, even without that association, this piece captures the promise; beauty; and the danger that a Felarya holds. It does Felarya justice.
Submitted for you approval, in the hope that you'll share music that fits Felarya, is Igor Stravinsky's "The Firebird Suite"-conducted by the master himself. It evokes the feelings that a human, if not rendered blind by a single minded focus on treasure, would feel in response to Felarya: A combination of awe, fear, and reverence for this majestic land.

Ah yes, the Firebird. I remember playing that in High School, and man, the Cello part is boring...
But anyway, I feel there was a previous topic regarding music representing Felarya... but it may've been different.
But yeah, I'm gonna use a piece of VGM here. It's a pretty basic battle tune from Mother 3, but I think it fits pretty well.
You're walking through the jungle, everything seems calm at first, but your hearts are accelerating, then all of a sudden-

*nom*

Ever since the Nostalgia Critic showed this song, I have since felt that it captures the feelings of those who travel Felarya but are not at the top of the food chain.

Another good song, especially for moments where one is carefully making one's way through a (seemingly) safe part of the jungle.

Anyway, here's something different. I thought the mood fits well, and the primal drum beat really gets to me in this one.

Lately, when I listen to this song, I imagine a man telling Lady Lesona that her desires for human dominance will result in mutual misery. That the Maples (humanity) needs to accept it's place beneath the Oaks (the preds); after all, can the preds help it if they like the way they're made?
Hatchet, Axes, and Saw-in a word, only death for both can result from Lesona's arrogance.
Of course, such honesty earns him a curse and exile. Here's the lyrics. (it's a song about conflicting interests in general; read into it what you want.)
Quote :
There is unrest in the forest, There is trouble with the trees, For the maples want more sunlight And the oaks ignore their pleas.
The trouble with the maples, (And they're quite convinced they're right) They say the oaks are just too lofty And they grab up all the light. But the oaks can't help their feelings If they like the way they're made. And they wonder why the maples Can't be happy in their shade.
There is trouble in the forest, And the creatures all have fled, As the maples scream "Oppression!" And the oaks just shake their heads
So the maples formed a union And demanded equal rights. "The oaks are just too greedy; We will make them give us light." Now there's no more oak oppression, For they passed a noble law, And the trees are all kept equal By hatchet, axe, and saw. (Emphasis mine)

mainly the title and the lyrics say it all. Rock enthusism in tthis place!
Spoiler:
What is it really That's going on here You've got your system for total control So is there really anybody out there Now watch us suffer cause we can't go What is it really that is in your head What little life that you had just died I'm gonna be the one that's takin over Now this is what it's like when worlds collide
Are you ready to go Cause I'm ready to go What you gonna do baby baby Are you going with me Cause I'm going with you It's the end of all time
What is it really that motivates you The need to fly or this fear to stop I'll go along for the ride but surprise When we get there I say 9 of 10 drop Now who's the light and who is the devil You can't decide so I'll be your guide And one by one they will be hand chosen Now this is what it's like when worlds collide
[chorus]
What is it really when they're fallin over Everything that you thought is denied I'm gonna be the one that's takin over Now this is what it's like when worlds collide

This is a song that always cheers me up when I feel down; it's about making peace with an imperfect world. A sense of acceptance of how the world works, but continuing to live joyously; this, I think, is an all to rare feeling among humans in Felarya. But, those who feel it are probably the ones who stand the best chance of making it.

Cool idea! Being an incurable videogame nerd, I shall provide a bit of music from Legend of Mana, which I think fits quite well with the theme of someone making their way through the deadly and beautiful jungles we all know and love.

I have a real 'thing' for the entire GOW 3 soundtrack. I know some may not agree, but its got plenty of songs that get the Felaryan juices flowing. XP
My favorite part of "Tides of Chaos" begins at the 2:30 mark

Okay, being the KMFDM fan I am, I have to post at least one song that fits. Go to Hell - KMFDM (As performed on their 20th Anniversary Tour) Go to Hell (F*ck MTV Mix) - KMFDM
(^As it appeared in the original album, Naive)
Spoiler:
Go to Hell - KMFDM Lyrics
I've Been To Congo I Lived In Rome Spent My Lifetime To Waste My Brain Now It's The Same Time Running Out For You And Me That Pushes Pulls And Drags Me, Baby Back To Thee
Sometimes I Wonder I Can't Get Enough You're Cute And Stupid I Want It Fast
I Want To Go To Hell
With All My Guts And Bollocks I Don't Regret Fearing And Burning
I Want To Flee To Free My Brain I Never Do Something Right
Leaving The Body Taking Mine In Total Control Into The Night
I Saw The Light I Stitched My Wounds I Picked The Orchids In Nicaragua's Jungles
I'll Miss Your Gams So Wet And Shiny You're My Vietnam-Child Kiss My Scars Away

A vacation in a foreign land Uncle Sam does the best he can You're in the army now Oh, oh, you're in the army now
Now you remember what the draftsman said Nothing to do all day but stay in bed You're in the army now Oh, oh, you're in the army now
You be the hero of the neighborhood Nobody knows that you left for good You're in the army now Oh, oh, you're in the army now
Smiling faces as you wait to land But once you get there no one gives a damn You're in the army now Oh, oh, you're in the army now
Hand grenades flying over your head Missiles flying over your head If you want to survive get out of bed You're in the army now Oh, oh, you're in the army now
Shots ring out in the dad of night The sergeant calls (stand up and fight) You're in the army now Oh, oh, you're in the army now
You've got your orders better shoot on sight Your finger's on the trigger But it don't seem right You're in the army now Oh, oh, you're in the army now You're in the army now Oh, oh, you're in the army now
Night is falling and you just can't see Is this illusion or reality You're in the army now Oh, oh, you're in the army now You're in the army now Oh, oh, you're in the army now
