MMM!!! So, I think for the TGH or ROTR, Be Fearless, Fortuna.
I can't go on yt on this chromebook, but you should look it up! It's a beautiful song in spanish and English.
Its from the new Spirit Untamed movie.
Two little caterpillars in love Spend their nights and early mornings together Full of hunger they keep walking And navigating a world that changes and keeps changing And navigating a world that changes and keeps changing
Two caterpillars stop the wind While they embrace with feeling They keep growing, not knowing when to search for some retreat, times keep changing They are inseparable and times keep changing
Ay, little caterpillars, don't hold on anymore You must grow apart and return, you'll keep moving forwards Miracles come, chrysalises come You must leave and build your own future
Ay, little caterpillars, don't hold on anymore You must grow apart and return, you'll keep moving forwards Miracles come, chrysalises come You must leave and build your own future
Two disoriented caterpillars In two well-wrapped cocoons With new dreams, now all that's missing is To do what's necessary in a world that keeps changing Taking down its walls, there comes our miracle
Our miracle, our miracle
Ay, butterflies, don't hold on anymore You must grow apart and return, you'll keep moving forwards There are already miracles, chrysalises breaking open You must fly, you must find your own future
Ay, butterflies, don't hold on anymore You must grow apart and return, you'll keep moving forwards There are already miracles, chrysalises breaking open You must fly, you must find your own future
Ay, butterflies, don't hold on anymore You must grow apart and return, you'll keep moving forwards There are already miracles, chrysalises breaking open You must fly, you must find your own future
I feel like this fits Cassi and Rick, and their relationship. (The funny thing is Cassi's nickname is Butterfly) and for her to truly love him, she needs to fly, and come back to him
Dos Oruguitas from Encanto
I'ts cool how it's about the metamorphosis from caterpillars to butterflies, also I really love Encanto!
I think this song fits Star and just the theme of the books really well
here's the og english version:
it just fits it well, because Star is always encouraging the steeds of Anok and his enemies to love and its a major part of the books.
I wish the Yuri on Ice opening had a Japanese version i can't seem to find one =/.
Another Japanese song...
I feel this matches quite a few of my characters later in their life wjen they realize who they really are and stop hiding their true selves.
(Lyrics English
You see the sun rise A new day is upon you You bite your nails and Your knees start to tremble The time is upon you To show them what you can do And soon they will know that The day has come! Late into the night I hear it storming An end to the rain Is what I pray And I'm hoping Now I feel the pressure of the city Oh, how it eats me whole So many names and faces Sleepless nights Spent in unknown places And every day I walk Straight into the great unknown I'm not to blame I'm gonna take a stand You say my name I'm telling you to reach out and Finally take my hand Colliding fists They're what's gonna make you You grit your teeth or They're gonna break you The time is upon you To show them what you can do You're breaking the mold To show you're not them But will we break through? I don't know Don't know The bells are ringing Come out and play now The time is upon you To show them what you can do And soon they will know that The day has come!
(The song is in Japanese
Lyrics:
I recognized my cowardly past
Remaining ignorant, I cowered in fear
My other self reflects reality onto the present
This world, where I envisioned countless skies, will surely drive my frail heart insane
In my dreams, I soared the skies
Shaking off any anxieties that clung to me
A subconscious thought expands outward
Notice my weakness and stay by me, so I can confidently accept this dark world
I continue to dream for all of eternity
I wanna always be with you,.
I give you everything I have
(the uncut version is even better
Here they are
Lyrics - Amanda Lee (LeeandLie)
I was never right for the hero type of role .. I admit it
With my heart shivering in fear
I can see today's reflected in each past tear
Even so, it has been calling the heavens to me
But I cannot hide all the emptiness inside my fleeting heart
Once in my dreams I rose and soared
No matter how I'm knocked around or beaten down
I will stand up, restored
All of my love has yet to wake
I know your strength is what I lack
You've got my back and know that I've got yours
I have you to thank for lighting up the dark
Because you're here with me
Our dreams will soar free forever
(I wanna always be with you .. I give you everything I have)
I could never find light to guide me through the night
And with one touch, I'd recall every memory
All too precious to not hold them all close to me
It's tempting to close your eyes and turn from the world
But it's bittersweet, like you've somehow missed a beat with no restart
When every wish has overlapped
You'll realize if you carry on with every dawn, your hesitation fades
All of your scars will disappear
I will become your sword and shield
This Crossing Field's the path that we select
The promise we made will last for all our days
If it's our bonds we'll live by, I will put my faith in you
I only need one miracle
Can you not hear me call at all?
Until that day, I'll keep screaming your name
Once in my dreams I rose and soared
No matter how I'm knocked around or beaten down
I will stand up, restored
All of my love has yet to wake
I know your strength is what I lack
You've got my back and know that I've got yours
I have you to thank for lighting up the dark
Because you're here with me
Our dreams will soar free forever
(I wanna always be with you
I wanna hold you tight right now
I swear that I'll be who you choose
I'll give you everything I have))
I think it fits Kevty from Darkness on the rise, she's been fighting all her life, and is learning that its ok to fall, ok to lean on her family, and she refuses to accept what she is told is fate, refuses to accept death as an option
I shall return to this when I am on my computer.
LiSa: Gruenge (can't spell it rigjt lol)
I’ve found a reason to become strong Take me with you, and let’s march forward! My heart grows stiff, made sick by this muddy kaleidoscope My shivering hands have something they seek to grab. That’s all In the scent of night, even if I stare at the sky The only thing that can change is myself. That’s all I’ve found a reason to become strong Take me with you, and let’s march forward! No matter what! If unforsaken dreams and the unstoppable present Can make me stronger for someone else I’ll be thankful to carry all this sadness I grasped the meaning of defeat from being beaten up by the world Oh crimson flower, bloom proudly! Illuminate my fate The sound of lightning rings in my ears, a bewildered heart With kindness alone, there will be things I cannot protect. I know that, but Good and evil entwine beneath the water’s surface, a divine punishment for hypocrisy Rather than a brilliant flower, a lone enduring one is beautiful A path covered in thorns, left to run wild It only appears when I give it my all, so I’ll prove that I can overcome it The dreams that I couldn’t protect were easily cast aside Their roots have planted themselves in this crimson heart, living no in my blood Empty secrets, a crumbling conclusion Cruelly torn apart, the breath of a scream Someone’s laughing shadow, someone’s sobbing, Everyone is wishing for happiness No matter what! If unforsaken dreams and the unstoppable present Can make me stronger for someone else I’ll rise up as many times as it takes I grasped the meaning of defeat from being beaten up by the world Oh crimson flower, bloom proudly! Illuminate my fate
I feel like this really matches Nora in Academy RP with how bad her past was then meeting Percy and becoming stronger and stuff.
Mor Karbasi's El Pastor
This song is in Ladino, a dialect of Spanish. Karbasi is one of my favorite artists, as some of you may know... Here is a translation:
the shepherd is asleep
in wool and honey
the wind caresses her body
the ground listens and breathes
the shepherd sleeps
with the chains of my love
the wind caressed her body
I'm going to the sea to forget you
It makes me think of Nathan Leroy in the PoT rp... it's steady and nostalgic and the build in emotion is just... it gives me the shivers. The lyrics can be a metaphor for his story. He has left behind a situation of extreme circumstances, which ultimately saved his life. His past still very much defines him and "chains" him, which torments him though he'd best forget it. The past wasn't all bad though, he leaves behind deep passion and love for his country and people and hopes for a freer France and Europe.
