Stick a Song on it

I've been finding some more songs that are good echoes of movies. I wish I could make music videos of them all. But I think those can be at risk of getting taken down? And it's not something I really have experience with @_@ 

But maybe some day! For now I'll just have fun with them here. 

 

This one is perfect for Big Fish and Begonia. It's just called, "Dolphin." 

Drifting alone
Where am I to go
The purpose in me
Sadly I don't know

Who'll take my hand
I'm sailing in the sand
Nothing to enjoy
Feeling quite destroyed

But I know a magic dolphin
Swimming above the world
And in my dreams it promised me
That someday I'll find my girl

No one to love
No one to lose
All by myself
This is what I choose

Lovers everywhere
Why should I even care
Will I ever change
That would sure be strange

I found three songs that are good for Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts. In fact, I made blog posts about two of them already. 

Shiny-Scarlemagne

Then you have the "Giant Woman" song, which works for Dr. Emilia:

You might even like being together

And if you don't, it won't be forever

But if it were me, I'd really wanna be a giant woman, a giant woman

All I wanna do is see you turn into a giant woman

And then take a song from Kipo: What we Have is You. And take the same actor that does the dad's voice. He has a role in Frozen 2. And that same song fits his character of Mattias pretty well too! He also doesn't have sunshine or weather... (though it doesn't seem like the people in that forest ever ended up getting along until the spell was broken). 

We may not have sunshine or starlight or weather

But we've got each other and that's even better

You don't need the sun to keep you warm when you've got arms

Wishes come from you and not a random shooting star

We may not have storm clouds but the sky's always blue

We've got something special here and what we have is you

One of the first songs I linked to a movie/book was Lemon Tree. For some reason it really felt like a song that  fit Kvothe, from The Name of the Wind. 

One day beneath the lemon tree, my love and I did lie

A girl so sweet that when she smiled the stars rose in the sky

We passed that summer lost in love beneath the lemon tree

The music of her laughter hid my father's words from me

Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet

But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat

Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet

But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat.

One day she left without a word, she took away the sun

And in the dark she left behind I knew what she had done

She'd left me for another, it's a common tale but true

A sadder man but wiser now I sing these words to you

When I first saw Steven Universe, part of the opening song sounded like a bit from "Space Oddity." And the episode "Bubbled" even fit the feel of the song. I'm not the only one who thought this. I've seen a couple videos on Youtube that mesh the two. 

And I'm floating in a most peculiar way

And the stars look very different today

For here

Am I sitting in a tin can

Far above the world

Planet Earth is blue

And there's nothing I can do

Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles

I'm feeling very still

There's an old version of Dr. Dolittle. There's some... questionable things about it, but I've liked the movie since I was little. I mean, a guy who talked to animals. How could I not like it? Plus there are some good songs. I eventually fished out the soundtrack. And when I heard "My Friend the Doctor," I thought it was perfect for "Doctor Who." 

My friend the Doctor says

That every time it starts to rain

And people run indoors again in swarms

If you remain

Out in the rain

You'll think you're drinking pink champagne

And you'll spend your life

Praying for thunderstorms

Maybe what the Doctor tells me

Isn't altogether true

But I love every tale he tells me

And I don't know any better ones

Do you?

My friend the Doctor says

The world is full of fantasy

And who are you or I to disagree?

Let's hope and pray

That that's the way

The life we love will always stay

For my friend the Doctor and me

Okay, okay. I have to say it. Kermit the Frog sings "It's Not Easy Being Green" when he's feeling down. Elphaba, am I right? 

It's not that easy bein' green

Having to spend each day

The color of the leaves

When I think it could be nicer

Bein' red or yellow or gold

Or something much more colorful like that

It's not easy bein' green

It seems you blend in

With so many other ordinary things

And people tend to pass you over

'Cause you're not standing out

Like flashy sparkles in the water

Or stars in the sky

But green's the color of spring

And green can be cool and friendlylike

And green can be big like an ocean

Or important like a mountain

Or tall like a tree

When green is all there is to be

It could make you wonder why

But, why wonder? Why wonder?

I'm green and it'll do fine

It's beautiful, and I think it's what I want to be

Then the commercial for the Logan movie came with a song called "Hurt." The movie was too bloody and depressing for me. But that song really nailed Wolverine's emotions during it. 

And there are a couple music videos someone made on Youtube. They're for characters from Ouran High School Host Club. Tamaki's video is "I Just Can't Wait to be King." And Kyouka's is "Be Prepared." They're great!
