Music for Felarya - Post songs

One of my favorite tracks from "Trinity and Beyond": Hiroshima/Nagasaki Requiem. It is a score inspired by the bombings of the two cities. When I listen to it, in the context of Felarya, it leads one to imagine the ultimate destruction of Ur-Sagol; considering the state of the ruins, while aged by thousands of years, clearly the Guardians wrought terrible havoc-truly, it was Ragnarok for that great city.

However, history often repeats itself; I think all major cities eventually overstep their bounds, ending in cataclysmic destruction.

Some of my favourite songs that doesn't belong to a game (though they used to appear in a music game)

Yes, I see why you would link this song to Ur-Sagol's destruction... especially considering the footage that was playing in the movie alongside this music.


(For those of you who haven't seen this movie, go see it. It's narrated by William Shatner (Captain Kirk)! )

One of the things that can be generally overlooked when thinking of songs are national anthems. The Russian Federation's national anthem is generally within most people's top three, if not their top five. I'm not sure, but I would say that Negav, Ur-Sagol, Kelerm, etc all have a 'national anthem' of sorts, but just what it would be is an interesting thought topic to me. Picturing just what they would envision for their anthems is an interesting thought, given the nature of their environments and the overall mindset of their peoples.

^ Probably one of the better things associated with a RE movie, this song is something I feel appropriate to those that manage to survive their stints in Felarya but lose someone important to them in the process.





These next three are motivational pieces that I find tend to fit in with pieces of Felarya. They are also things I tend to think of when I picture some of the events in Arc 1. Which I'm nowhere close to writing yet, le sigh.

Nightwish - The Escapist. This song just fits in Felarya. Not to mention its by my fav band. Bloody impossible finding a first rate recording of it live though online to share.

Spoiler:

"China Gets the Bomb", a different track ultimately based on the one I posted, because of it's similar-but-different feel, in the context of Felarya can be seen as a prediction of Negav's future.

These two speak for themselves

Also, hi >.> There goes my first post!

I keep imagining Super Sonic fighting Déméchrelle to this tune.

I'm sure this joke has been made before (possibly repeatedly), but given the season, and the nature of this thread, I just couldn't resist.

Gunther's theme song, with heartfelt apologies to Rythmear:

Most humans may get used to the way of things in Felarya...this song, however, I think captures the mental state of those who can't. The song is a tribute to Lovecraft's mythos; and Lovecraft's greatest strengths was in capturing unspeakable horrors. The depths of madness, which some humans succumb to in Felarya, may have the effect of encountering the Elder Ones with one's own eyes. If you want an image, imagine a human in a Negavian insane asylum, in a padded room, gibbering to himself-he saw a predator swallow every member of his team. He's now incurably insane-alternating between laughing, crying, raging, while babbling gibberish.

A dragon has come to our village today
We have asked him to leave, but he won't go away
Now he's met with our king, and they've made out a deal
No homes will he burn, and no crops will he steal

Now there is but one catch, we dislike it a bunch
twice a year he invites him a virgin to lunch
we have no other choice, so the deal we'll respect
we can't help but wonder and pause to reflect

Do virgins taste better than those who are not?
Are they salty or sweet or more juicy or what?
Do you savor them slowly, gulp them down on the spot?
Do virgins taste better than those who are not?

Now we'd like to be shed you, and many have tried.
But no one can get through your thick scaly hide.
We hope that some day, some brave knight will come by.
'Cause we can't wait around 'til you're too fat to fly.

Now you have such good taste in your women for sure
They always are pretty, always are pure
But you're notion of dining it makes us all flinch
You're favorite entree is barbecued wench (mine too!)

Do virgins taste better than those who are not?
Are they salty or sweet or more juicy or what?
Do you savor them slowly, gulp them down on the spot?
Do virgins taste better than those who are not?

Now I found a solution, it works out so neat
If you insist on nothing but virgins to eat
No more will our number ever grow small
We'll simply make sure theres no virgins at all

Do virgins taste better than those who are not?
Are they salty or sweet or more juicy or what?
Do you savor them slowly, gulp them down on the spot?
Do virgins taste better than those who are not?

Now, I am a dragon, please listen to me
For I'm misunderstood to a dreadful degree.
This ecology needs me and I know my place,
But I'm fighting extinction with all of my race.

Well, I came to this village to better my health
Which is shockingly poor, despite all my wealth.
But I get no assistance and no sympathy,
Just impertinent questioning shouted at me.

Yes, virgins taste better than those who are not.
But my favorite snack food with peril is fraught.
For my teeth will decay and my trim go to pot.
Yet virgins taste better than those who are not.

Well, I'm really quite good almost all through the year.
Vegetarian ways are now mine out of fear.
But a birthday needs sweets as I'm sure you'll agree.
And barbecued wench tastes like candy to me!

As it happens our interests are almost the same.
For I'm really quite skillful at managing game.
If I ate just your men, would your excess decline?
Of course not, the rest would just make better time

Yes, virgins taste better than those who are not
But my favorite snack food with peril is fraught.
For my teeth will decay and my trim go to pot.
Yet virgins taste better than those who are not.

But the number of babies a woman can bear
Has a limit, and that's why my pruning's done there.
Yet an orphan's a sad sight and so when I munch.
I'm careful to take only virgins for lunch.

I would be inclined to include this song if there was ever a felaryan video game. some minstrel sings it.

I love celtic music
Btw the name of the song is "Do virgins taste better"

Whenever I hear this song, especially the S&M orchestral performance, I imagine a damned soul being dragged to a beckoning, eager, and hungry succubus...but the lyrics seem equally appropriate to Vivian. You decide

Spoiler:

I always think of the Mycoria forest when I hear this metroid tune.

Well, now I do anyway.

Funny. When I think of the Mycoria Forest, this comes to mind:

When thinking of running for your life, the following song always comes to my mind.



And when thinking of a mysterious forest (like maybe the Forest of Whispers or something like that) I think of the next song.



I also imagine the next song playing when confronted by a more sadistic predator (like a Dridder) or perhaps incurring the wrath of some divine creature or something.



I also imagine some arrangement or another of this song when thinking of a seasoned adventurer, well, adventuring in the forest. Most likely an orchestrated version. Or maybe the 16-bit version that appeared in ALttP.



I imagine the next song playing in a more dangerous part of Felarya but with the same core concept as the one above.

I think UI-70's version of "The Maid and the Pocket Watch of Blood" fits quite well. I can't add a link right now, so search for it on youtube.

I first discovered this song via Fallout 3. With a few tweaking, one could make it into a song about a human (perhaps Mezzus?) who is quite happy with his new life in Kortiki. Or, perhaps, the song essentially captures the over all gist of Lea's attitude to human civilization as opposed to her life in the jungle.

Theme of Admiral Krista Angelique (former archangel Krista) and the Imperial garrison of Felarya Tower:

Ignore the visuals, just listen to the music.

This always struck me as a theme that could be used for an encounter with an abyssal tonorion.

A good song for Evernight Forest.

You have succeeded in making a creepy place even creepier. Let's just say that lady singing the lullaby is the only thing that keeps Demeche... (you know) from waking up.

For my next submission, I'm going to call upon God of War again. There are so many songs that seem to fit my view of Felarya.



The song is only about 2 1/2 minutes long

Surprised no one has put this up yet. Ignore the parts mentioning a city and it fits right in.
