Alright, maybe I really have Rayearth on the brain today, [I only spent two and ahlf hours hunting down the OVA] but I was listening to my music collctions today and a few songs stuck out to me. The following songs make me think of the rayearth characters.
Avril Lavigne--"Things I'll Never Say": This song makes me think of Ascot and his cute little crush on Umi.
Avril Lavigne--"I'm With You": This song makes me think of the Rayearth OVA. I think I might make an AMV of it at some point, if I ever get around to doing some video captures. It would focus on all three girls, not just Umi/Clef. I can see it in my head.
Nightwish--"Wish I Had an Angel": This song was the inspiration for my infamous fic by the same name. When I listen to it, I cannot help but think of Ascot. I have no clue why.
Joss Stone--"You Had Me": For some reason this song makes me think of Alcyone, I wish she could have gotten over her obsession with Zagato and led a peaceful life, And the bastard shouldn't have used her so badly.
Cheetah Girls--"I Won't Say (I'm in Love) {From Hercules}": This song reminds me of Presea/Sierra and that stupid add in bit of their love for Clef. I'm sorry, but that was just stupid.
Any songs that make you think of Rayearth?
Ohyeah, I'm With You always makes me think of the OVA in general, too. *3*; The shot that always comes to mind is in the second ep where Fuu is about to recieve her ovum and she's on the balcony (?) looking over Tokyo. (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v367/windam/cap021.jpg)
Let me see what I can remember...
I have no clue why, but Dixie Chicks' Cowboy, Take Me Away always makes me think of Fuu in the OVA, too. o_O;
I always thought BSB's (shut up, I like their ballads XD) Shape of My Heart reminded me of Ferio in the first season.
Walk this World by Heather Nova. It makes me think of Eagle. Man, I love that song.
She'll Leave You With a Smile by George Strait. The description reminds me so much of Caldina. <3
The One by Gary Allen really sums up Fuu and Ferio's relationship to me. Like, a lot.
Aaand there's others. But that's all I can come up with at the moment. D:
I know I have better ones, too.
Avril Lavigne--"Fall to Pieces": Makes me think of the whole Umi/Clef thing. It kidof has the same feel as "Setsunakute", to me.
Joss Stone--"Don't Cha Wanna Ride": For some reason this makes me think of Caldina and her comments of her having a great body.
David Bowie--"As the World Falls Down": Another General Rayearth song. ^_^
Joss Stone--"Spoiled": Makes me think of Fuu and the fact that we know Ferio would do anything for her.
Evanescence--"Solitude": This song makes me think of Alcyone again and her unrequited love of Zagato.
Bet you lot can't figure out what the main artists I have been listening to recently. :P I need to change my playlist around.... But that might not help much given tha tI just burned a CD of all of the song I mentioned, pluss more, for my car.
LMAO
"David Bowie--"As the World Falls Down": Another General Rayearth song. ^_^ "
Well I certainly dont have a Clemi fanfic of that title... no way.... >.< :: gwaffle ::
And omg, someone else knows of nightwish! Do you listen to Love Spiral as well?
Ace of Base - Unspeakable .... clemi
I listen to what I am sent by friends, so I will take that suggestion and look for it. Unless you have something you want to send me. ^.~ I was introduced to Nightwish through an AMV. "Gundam 8th MS Team" done to "10th Man Down". I loved the song and my boyfriend of the time remembered that and finally found the song for me nearly a year later, as I didn't know what song it was, just that I loved it.
But today I was listening to my new Killers CD yesterday, and even though I have heard this song a million and one times... I just got this random connection
"Mr Brightside" -- the Killers -- Ascot. (would make a nice one-shot title)
I could make so many jokes with that song title in connection to ascot but I wont. >.< I'd be killed. lol.
Somebody's Someone by the Corrs always reminds me of Umi-chan's fic "Angel's Punishment"
Anyone else even heard that?
"If you still believe" - Elsa Raven (I believe)
I have this image of Umi in Tokyo reflecting on Clef in Cephiro.
it's only three days after I'm not meant to post here, but my connection's been down? >.<
I have a huge Clemi playlist on my pc, most of which is only vaguely relevant to them... but I find a very large amount of Fleetwood Mac stuff (especially later songs) remind me of Umi, Clef, or both - 'I'm so afraid' has been my Clef image song since I first read the manga -
I've been alone/ all the years/ so many ways/ to count the tears
I never change/ I never will/ I'm so afraid/ the way I feel
It just reminds me of him in Rayearth 2 and beyond. ^^;;; (I was a lot younger when it got stuck)
Then there's 'Crystal', for the Clemi relationship - I started about 15 times to songfic this one, and neve got it right. ^^;; The imagery is all about water, and makes me think of not only Umi, but the water dungeon Emeraude-hime is in, and then there's the line: And I have changed, oh - but you, you remain ageless which just seems apt. XD
Then for the unrequited, messed up Asmi there's always 'blue letter' - on the road to paradise/ I wanna lover who don't get old which cracks me up as a line. XD
Then 'rhiannon' and 'songbird' both remind me of Fuu...
I think you can tell what I was listening to a lot when I first read Rayearth. ^^
Muse - Apocalypse Please
'And this is the end
This is the end of The World'
This reminds me of RayearthII.
For reasons too obvious to mention.
[Edit]
And how could I forget!
Placebo - My Sweet Prince
'My sweet Prince
You are the one'
It reminds me of Fuu/Ferio for some strange reason...
Damn, I currently have the problem that anything I listen to by Snow Patrol reminds me of rayearth in someway or another, mostly Umi/Clef, but others as well. And believe it or not, it was my obsession with the Jack/Elizabeth pairing for Pirates of the Caribbean that got me onto them.
Listening to the album gave me the motivation to go on and begin the revamp for Definitely Not Tokyo and Is also a help and making me want to finish that increadibly time consuming project.
One or two lines of Snow Patrol's "Make this go On Forever" has been teasing me into a possible one-shot or short fic about the beginning relationship of my version of Umi and Clef. ^.^
You guys listen to old Avril stuff, aaahhhhhh!!!
You're my favorite ;D
And yeah, I'm With You makes me think of the first time Hikaru, Umi, and Fuu get to Cephiro and meet each other
"I don't know who you are but I... I'm with you"
Oh man, I said I hated Avril now because of her stupid "Girlfriend" song but now I really wanna listen to her again... :-\
...HOW ID I NOT REALISE THIS BEFORE? *flails at brain*
Queen ~Is this the world we created
Theme song for Autozam (and Eagle)! HEH.
Is this the world we created?
We made it on our own
Is this the world we devastated
Right to the bone?
If theres a God in the sky looking down
What can he think of what weve done
To the world that he created?
(I love this song to death anyway. And it makes me meep.) It could just be a song for the whole of Rayearth, really.
(...though The show must go on is another Queen song that yells Eagle at me.)
"Never, Never, Never"- Shirley Bassey.
This is so Umi/Clef.
Impossible to live with you
but I know I could never live without you
You never treat me like you should
so what's the good of loving as I do?
I love you, hate you, love you, hate you
but I want you til the world stops turning
Would you believe, years from when I posted about rayearth, I would be back into the fandom yet again, and writing new fic, just from listing to too much Snow Patrol, among other things.
I still stick to "Make this Go on Forever" - Snow Patrol and a true Umi/Clef song (though I am writing a novel based off it too)
I also seem to make the same connotation with a number of Evanescence songs, too.
Well, I'm flicking through my ipod right now. So many songs!
But I'm leaving this open and I'm making a list.
Grenade by Bruno Mars - I would really suggest this one, for it nails Ascot almost exactly. You gotta listen to the lyrics....
Drops of Jupiter by Train - Also an awesome song. I feel like it reflects Clemi, and Clef's secret love towards her.
La La Land by Demi Lavato (or Lovato, not sure) - It reminds me of Umi's 'I don't care what you think' attitude. I actually made an AMV for this one if you wanna check it out on youtube. It it kinda suckish because I just started, but still!
A Thousand Years by Christina Perri - The name kind of gives it away, but this is a good Clemi slowish tempo song.
In the Cold, Cold Night by the White Stripes - A pretty unique song but I fell in love with it. It might be hard to find, so if you have trouble I can send you my mp3. Again, Clemi.
The Only Exception by Paramore - This song is absolutely sweet. It is Hikaru & Lantis (or Eagle, it doesn't matter.)
Behind Blue Eyes by Limp Bizkit - Again, Clemi. Clef pov about how he regrets having to tell lies about the truth of their first time here.
Love Story by Taylor Swift - Fuu and Ferio. Their story in a song. Enough said.
Enough for now. I had a list of them. I'll try to dig that up, and post them if I find it. I had another Clemi song but..... I can't remember.
OH! If Umi wasn't able to return to Cephiro, then Hurt by Christina Aguilera is a very accurate song.
Ja ne!

Yeah, I agree with that one. I keep thinking that when I hear it, though the "I've loved you for a thousand years, I'l love you for a thousand more" then makes me think of 2000 years, which reminds me of Sci's fic, which leaves me thinking about Umi and Clef having a VERY long life together.
"Distance"- Christina Perri
Makes me think of PY and also my Novel version of my old fic....

Thousand Years by Sting would be very Clemi to me as well. omg. the feels. It just needs a tragic Clemi. Clef living far beyond the lifespan of Umi.
.........so apparently though I mentioned fleetwood mac in this thread I never came back to go GOLD DUST WOMAN IS THE ONE ULTIMATE EMERAUDE/SEASON ONE RAYEARTH SONG AND ONE DAY I WILL MAKE AN MV SET TO IT (but I don't have the anime in digital form so people are safe for now. XD)
IT REALLY IS
random version on youtube here if you don't know it (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPEGzEttx0w)
Rulers make bad lovers, better put your kingdom up for sale~
(Well did she make you cry, make you break down, shatter your illusions of love? And is is over now, do you know how to pick up the pieces and go home- OBVIOUSLY the answer is NO for the nights because otherwise no season 2 XD)

Just thought I'd repost this song. I still love it, and it still reminds me as much of U/C now as it did then...
I love you, hate you, love you, hate you
but I want you til the world stops turning
TAXI - 東方神起 reminds me of the whole I-WANT-TO-BE-WITH-YOU-BUT-I-CANT-FOR-OUR/YOUR-OWN-GOOD-Clemi hehehe
I walk the shimmering streets,
Trying to cover the times we can't meet,
Your playful smile, after our hands had met for the first time,
Keeps reviving in my memories
I want to embrace you; I want to embrace you tightly,
Yet you are not mine; my broken heart,
I want to embrace you but I cannot,
I want you to the degree that it's overflowing, that it's melting,
Without even being able to stop the taxi and make a promise
You wave your hands
Even your voice, even those fragile shoulders,
Even your eyes are not mine,
No matter how much I am by your side,
My feelings won't come true unless I destroy your future,
One moment's dream; I love you to the extent that it hurts,
But tonight is ending

YOU LIKE TVXQ AND CLEMI
HI LET ME FLAIL AT YOU A MOMENT
but sleepily as I am about to fall asleep. XD
(I like Darkness Eyes for Clef-is-tied-in-knots-of-emotion, but largely probably because I love that song. XDD)

YOU. TOO??? *flails back* But alas, I stopped listening to them as much after they disbanded. :( I DID GET TO SEE JYJ 3 times (once in Osaka for a-nation, once in NYC for their MTV filming, and another time in NJ when they had their concert). Everyone usually thinks Jaejoong is the best looking (I admit I did too for a long time) but in person Yoochun is definitely most handsome.
Also is it because of this line --> I'm just in deep 蒼い孤独の海の中 (kekeke)
*snickers* THAT LINE WAS ONE THING I WAS THINKING OF but uh yes. XDDDD
I- I am afraid that Jae nearly killed me in person, hee. XD (But I tend to like androgynous more than handsome anyway?)
Hell yes to androg men...but only on Asian men (I don't quite know why either?!) Ah...I think he lost a bit of his shine for me when he started losing a lot of weight after the breakup D: BUT if anyone asks me who I think the most attractive asian male is...Jaejoong. Hands down. I think I like Yoochun more for his boyish charm. HAVE YOU SEEN HIS SMILE? You've SEEN his smile. It's heheheheehehehehehe
I just realised I need to put back together my Umi/Clef playlist on iTunes. I never did since I got this computer.... Hm...
Anyway... Be Be Your Love -Rachael Yamagata
"Everybody's talkin' how I can't be your love
But I want-want-wanna be your love, for real"
So I was listening to random stuff and Count on Me, by Bruno Mars, came up and it reminds me so much the girrls, this fits the image I have for their friendship so nicely. <3
Are You Hurting the One You Love, by Florence + The Machine, reminds me so much of Hikaru and Eagle's conversation when they fought for the Pillar. Are you hurting the one you love?When you leave them screaming on the hollow ground.
Also by Florence, No Light, No Light, from Eagle to Lantis. Would you leave me if I told you what I've done? / And would you leave me if I told you what I've become?
Juliet, by Emilie Autumn is so Lantis/Hikaru. A very, very sweet song, but the title also gives weight to it. No one but you could ever fill my night / Be the sunlight in my every day
Also by Emilie:
Rapunzel is for Emeraude, while Liar is for Zagato and Alcione.
By The Sword is a great song for the girls during the first part/season.
Misery Loves Company would be the song to inspire a fic in which the knights don't actually go back after they kill Zagato and Emeraude and spiral down in bitterness. XD

Our chorus sang that song for a performance.... and I COMPLETELY AGREE.
Also... I ADORE FLORENCE + THE MACHINE <3 ~flails~ Sorry. Had to get that out. XD

Just thought this one needs repeating because I have been listening to Shirley Bassey too much lately, and I love this song for them. Though now listing to it again, I can see more details that point toward Umi/Clef.
"I'd like to run away from you, but if you never found me, I would die."

Yes for Florence!!!! ♥♥♥
"The Call" by Regina Spektor for Fuu/Ferio.
It started out as a feeling which then grew into a hope
Which then turned into a quiet thought which then turned into a quiet word
And then that word grew louder and louder 'til it was a battle cry
I'll come back when you call me, no need to say goodbye
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
Pick a star on the dark horizon and follow the light
You'll come back when it's over, no need to say goodbye
Right now, Janelle Monae songs are giving me Caldina vibes. Specifically Electric Lady (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPFgBCUBMYk) and Dance Apocalyptic (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaMBagakSdM). Like, I always picture Caldina as being the kind of person that's always up for a good time, even as everything's falling to pieces all around her.
EDIT: Also, now the Gundam Wing themes will never not make me think of Ascot, not because the lyrics seem particularly relevant, but because THAT'S HIS JAPANESE VOICE ACTRESS! ;D
Right now, I feel like 'Absolutely Flawless' by The Ones would make a ridiculously fun Eagle Vision AMV.
Printemps Emeraude, by Alcest.
For our Princess, of course. <3
I'm currently listening to my favorite songs and it seems like all of it are related to my OTP (Clef/Umi).
It is not an anime related song but a very popular one. The title is "Promise me" Originally by Beverley Craven. It was quite old song but it sounds good. i prefer the "Promise me" version of Lea Salonga please have a moment to search for it on youtube or google and i promise it really sounds great..
"When I go away I'll miss you and I will be thinking of you
Every night and day
Just promise me you'll wait for me
'Cause I'll be saving all my love for you
And I will be home soon
Promise me you'll wait for me
I need to know you feel the same way too"
Simply this is the lyrics which reminds me of the two (Clef/Umi)... Im so inlove with them :)
Down came home a month or so ago and got me to listen to There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dT2owtxkU8k) by Shawn Mendes. We both agree that it is kind of glorious as an Umi/Clef song, but to be completely honest it's a pretty good song about being in love with Umi, really...
