The character Karaoke tag// A thousand Years




I was tagged by Anna at A world through her heart...Thank you Anna!:)

Of course since this tag has to do with Music. I was super excited to write this post (since I have theme songs for all of my characters) and since one of the questions was
What song would play at your character's wedding?
I figured I should do one of my stories (note: this story is still being plotted out): A thousand Years 
This story is a prequel to Tess Short. and it was inspired by Jane Austen and J.R.R Tolkien...

Also sorry for the weird format...Blogger had some issues with the captions and HTML, and at times I had to fix it.

It's Your Character's wedding day what song plays during their first dance?

The first song that is Likely to play at Mr. Short's and Princess Gletta's wedding is

                                                      A Thousand Years by Christina Perri


                                          Or you can watch it on youtube here 

                             
                         and the song happens to also be the main theme song of the story...



                            What song(s) describe your protagonist(s)? 
                         There are a few main protagonists in the story...
                    but I am only going to choose three out of the group

                                                       Princess Gletta 
(Original pictures from,

                             Princess Gletta is brave, strong, and very independent... 

                     though she will have to decide between love and becoming the queen. 
                          In my mind she is like a Jane Austen Heroine, 
                       though I am going to read  more Jane Austen before I write the story... 
                      

                                                          These songs describes her personality: 

                                            Touch The Sky From Brave  

Or you can watch it on youtube here 
The reason why I chose this song is 
that Gletta is a ranger much like Merida.

A thousand years (Part 2) By Christina Perri (Feat.Steve Kazee) 


Or you can watch it on youtube here 
                                             
                                  I can Imagine this as a song both Mr. Short and Gletta would sing...
                                 though the first two lyrics go with Gletta more...  
                                     
                                                                   Mr. Short 
                        

                  ( original Pictures from http://hero.wikia.com/wiki/Bilbo_Baggins

                       https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Forest#/media/File:Smoky_forest.jpg)

Mr. Short thinks of himself as a "normal" hobbit (at least most of the time),
though he does have a brave and adventurous side which comes out during the quest... 
He also is a very good story teller... (And probably will narrate the story along with Tirfendiel, and Gletta) 

and I thought these songs did a good job of describing it: 
Something Wild By Lindsey Stirling Ft.Andrew Mc.Mahon

Or you can watch it on YouTube here 

You'll Be in my heart By Phill Collins 

or you can watch it on YouTube here 
Though this song reminded me of Mr.short's love for Gletta. 


                                 
                                                   Prince Tirfindiel


 (original Images from https://www.pinterest.com/pin/305048574732080077/ 
               https://www.pinterest.com/pin/52424783133883037/
                    https://www.pinterest.com/pin/384917099388887333/      )

                                       
Second in line to the throne of the woodland kingdom... 
                                      Though he is not the evil second in line to the throne who plans to overthrow                                       the first in line... No he is quite the opposite. 
                                    He actually does not want to be a king at all and would prefer to remain a                                            prince... and never have to think of the idea of ruling a kingdom.   
                                     -he has a sword that glows green, which he carries with him at all times. 
                                
                               He also is probably the character with the most bad luck...
                                He tries to be perfect most of the time...and well ,fails. 
                                  

                                    Tirfindiel isn't really one for singing he likes background music instead of a                                      song to sing to. Though I can Imagine him humming: 
                                              
                                       Assassin's Creed III by Lindsey Stirling 



                                   Or you can watch it on youtube here 


                                     and maybe even....

                                          The sacrifice of Faramir 
                                   (Feat. Billy Boyd preforming "The Edge of Night")

                                      Or you can watch it on youtube here
                                    Though he would most likely sing this song silently to himself...
                                    and not out loud. 



     Any Instrument players or characters with Ties to music?

         and a screenshot from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GiIPY57TKY ) 

Well...The Oracle (who is a recurring character in the series) sings her fortunes to people...
Mr.short and Gletta might sing in the story. The Oracle is more of a musician then the other characters:
Metroid Prime credits Vocal Version by Erutan 
                                            Or you can watch it on youtube here
This song performed by Erutan, describes The Oracle well, both in her love of music and in her powers of future-seeing.

                              Go to Songs, for Battle, Romance or Intense scenes?

Hmm...well I doubt anyone would be singing in battle (because my story would become a musical instead of a Fantasy adventure story). But background music for battle scenes would be interesting.
Anyway, here is the song that I think would go well with the end battle scene:

The Call by Regina Spektor

                                        Or you can watch it on youtube here
Though this song would probably show up at the very end of the book...when they defeat the Villain (I have no idea who that is yet.)

                                                      I Tag:

                                                  Jane Maree// Maiden of the Misty Mountains 
                                               
                                                  Gray Marie // Writing is life 
                                                 
                                                   Emma// Drawn to Writing 

                                                   and anyone who wants to do it, you are welcome too!:)


                                             
                             --------------------------------------
                         That was fun to write and I feel like I know the characters better.

        I am going to post the other tags soon...
      it just happened that I was finished writing this one first...


Do you have any theme songs for your characters or your stories?
 Which of the characters I mentioned was your favorite?



                                       Love,

                                       Quinley
