Writers: What song lyric suits your protagonist best?

"Second Chance" by Shinedown. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lD-VpaYTds 1. I haven't thought of one for my antagonist. 2. The song "Palladio" by Karl Jenkins is my story's mood/theme. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNkPl5V5aTA&feature=related EDIT: Oh, my bad. Sorry. The line: "Sometimes goodbye is a second chance."

"gambling stealing lot's of sex appealing, come let us sing the sailor song!" my story is a romance between these three oversexed teenage parents who discover they're vampires and werewolves who must join forces to kill some badass zombies...there's lot's of kinkyness...

The Call by Regina Spektor "Just because everything's changing doesn't mean it's never been this way before. All you can do is try to know who your friends are as you head off to the war." (A little long... but oh well.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgUL3ut4gyQ Starts at 0:46 BQ: Antagonist Little Lion Man by Mumford & Sons "Rate yourself and rake yourself, take all the courage you have left, waste it on fixing all the problems that you made in your own head." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKEIt9tAXt4 Time: 0:42 BQ2: How Far We've Come by Matchbox 20 "I believe the world is burning to the ground, oh well, I guess we're gonna find out. Let's see how far we've come." (But the whole song works!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FF6fjVpyqGw Time: 1:31

"We were strangers starting out on a journey, never dreaming what we'd have to go through, now here we are and I'm suddenly standing at the beginning with you..." - At the Beginning, Anastasia Soundtrack BQ: "There's a whole in the world with a great black pit and it's filled with people who are filled with ****, and the vermin of the world inhabit it - but not for long ..." - Epiphany, Sweeney Todd. BQ2: "You're not alone, together we stand; I'll be by your side, you know, I'll take your hand ..." - Keep Holding On, Avril Lavigne.

haha, I actually posted this one as a writing exercise a while ago - I think you answered it. But, it's all that comes to mind right now: Another shot of whiskey but it still don't dull the pain, so he stumbles to the sink and pours it down the drain. Hmm. I'm at work, and I can't access any of the sites that have the song, but it's called Wasted, by Carrie Underwood. This is the first line of the second verse. I'm sure it's on youtube and I know it's on grooveshark.com. Sorry. I broke the rules. BQ: Unless there's a song out there about an evil government taking over the world and it being a good thing, no I don't. BQ2: Breaking the Chains, by Dokken. On grooveshark for sure. EDIT: No no. I meant the lyric I posted is the same one that suits my character. Not what I think you're thinking... Just that it's the reason I posted that particular line. =)

"Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon; it's always been inside of you, you, you." - Katy Perry's "Firework" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlLgvQErn6o Time: 2:43 BQ: "Maybe I'm just out of touch, maybe I've just had enough." - Sick Puppies' "Maybe" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJj7tdomXuc Time: 0:35 BQ2: "I took up my vocation, I was called by my nation, without hesitation, my answer I gave." - The Trews' "Highway of Heroes" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrkgV5bl7kQ Time: 2:28 Great question! :) "Simple and Clean" is a great song.

The Fray - How To Save A Life "Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend." BQ: Not right now, but I will soon. Hehe.

I'm not really sure. It'd have to be a pretty specific song for her. Something about caring about someone and wanting to help him but being really, really scared of him. BQ: Restless Heart Syndrome by Green Day "I'm a victim of my symptom, I am my own worst enemy..." This song's for Julian. He's got a terrible problem (not sure what yet, lol, only the character in my head so far!), but his problems cause the protagonist problems. I guess he's sort of a protagonist AND antagonist. But whatever, LMAO. I just realized how complicated my story is coming out in my head... BQ2: I'm not sure about this either...all I've got is the one for Jay. Usually this is really easy (if I used my other characters, I'd probably come up with one right off the bat). I guess when they come up more developed, I'll be able to think of songs that go with 'em.

That California Song by Go Radio "I’m missing you and missing Florida" Can't find a lyric video... x.x Buuut: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLf7RamBj_g Around 1:21 Antagonist... Hmmm... There are multiple antagonists, and none of them really have a song.. But most of the other characters have songs that I listen to and I'm like "Oh my goodness! This character would totally relate to this and love this song!!!!" Most of their songs fit even better than this particular protagonists song, because I like those characters better. (: Plot or story... Not really. There are a lot of songs that help me write, but those are more about the overall feeling they give than suiting the story. Vegas Skies by The Cab really makes me think of my story... "So why don't I make one more wrong turn tonight?" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7Pk9scvhrg At 1:07 And yeah... all of these places in song... The story does admittedly involve a group of people who aren't where they want to be, and there is a prolonged road trip and it's a story about a journey, so I kind of understand the trend that the music that reminds me of the story makes. These songs also fit my story in a figurative sense... x.x Kind of creepy, actually...
