I was thinking most of us have a favorite song that might take us back
to Wonderland, aka the Matrix, each time we hear it, or the kind of
song for you roleplayers out there that sums up your character in the
best of ways. I'd like to know what some of yours are, so post it and
who it is made by.



Mine is:



White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane.



(But a super-close second place runner up is The Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel.)

A mixed tape with The Sanford and Son theme and The Imperial March theme.

"Question!" by System Of A Down.

P.S.: Should be in the off-topic board.
#10400062017 12/30/2005 12:08:07 Re: Tell everyone your personal MxO Theme Song.
No... This has to do with the General Matrix Online Community just as much as I hated System of a Down's new album. SMILEY

#10400062055 12/30/2005 13:02:42 Re: Tell everyone your personal MxO Theme Song.
Carl Douglas. And let me tell you, I had to go and
find that song because I remembered it existed because of a Matrix
Online radio station! Hah, cool stuff.

#10400062056 12/30/2005 13:03:35 Re: Tell everyone your personal MxO Theme Song.
SERINADE from the Hellsing soundtrack.
#10400062511 12/31/2005 03:15 Re: Tell everyone your personal MxO Theme Song.
*blinks*  Of all the people here, you'd think that
White Rabbit would be my theme song, I mean I absolutly love it, but
since I don't have a copy at the moment my song of choice ended up
being Engel by Rammstein.  I seriously sing along to that song
every time... badly... in German...  Hehehe

A close second would be Shabby Doll by Elvis Costello, it fits the Matrix so well.  Here are some choice lyrics from it:

What's going on behind the green elevator door
With just a shabby doll

There's a hit man facing
A compromising situation
With just a shabby doll
And a very neat line in character assassination
She's just a shabby doll

She said you must be joking
Some things are left unspoken
You're just a shabby doll
He's lying limp and soaking
He was openly broken
By just a shabby doll


Hmmm,
let me think, for third place, I'd probably have to pick Chop Suey! by
System of a Down just out of its sheer exuberance.  It always gets
me a little hyper.  ::grins::

The Red by Chevelle. Gotta love it.
#10400063344 01/02/2006 20:50:48 Re: Tell everyone your personal MxO Theme Song.
"The Red" eh? That's a very cool name. I don't know what brand of flavour the music is, though.

#10400063346 01/02/2006 20:54:15 Re: Tell everyone your personal MxO Theme Song.
Blasphemy! No but seriously, it's metal and you should check it out. It's a cool song.
#10400063348 01/02/2006 20:57:51 Re: Tell everyone your personal MxO Theme Song.
I just wanted to put in for my faction mate SATRUAS, who probably never once has looked at these forums.
His theme song has been declared Y.M.C.A. by all of us Rakshas =P

Gota go with something by Fear Factory.

Resurrection

#10400063355 01/02/2006 21:47:48 Re: Tell everyone your personal MxO Theme Song.
The Throne Room/End Title by John Williams on the SW A New Hope soundtrack. Its from when Luke and Han get their awards.

#10400063356 01/02/2006 21:51:41 Re: Tell everyone your personal MxO Theme Song.
The first song that springs to mind for me is Freewill by Rush, I've
always associated it with the Matrix for some reason. I even quoted it
in my in game profile. Oh and every time I hear Sleeping Awake by
P.O.D. it reminds me of MxO. And the instrumentals in Progenies of the
Great Apocolypse by Dimmu Borgier always bring up images of the Matrix
for me.

Show Me How to Live - AudioSlave


This is my personal themesong for my character, Susannah.  (Actually it's my personal Dark Tower themesong for Book 6 of the series - Song of Susannah - when the characters meet their... "creator" Stephen King).


Actually if you read the lyrics, think about the relationship between you and your character and the psychological implications of it.  "what a mindjob" indeed.


And with the early dawn
Moving right along
I couldn't buy and eyeful of sleep
And in the aching night under satellites
I was not received
Built with stolen parts
A telephone in my heart
Someone get me a priest
To put my mind to bed
This ringing in my head
Is this a cure or is this a disease

[Chorus]
Nail in my hand
From my creator
You gave me life
Now show me how to live
Nail in my hand
From my creator
You gave me life
Now show me how to live

And in the after birth
On the quiet earth
Let the stains remind you
You thought you made a man
You better think again
Before my role defines you

[Chorus]

And in our waiting hands
I will land
And roll out of my skin
And in your final hours I still stand
Ready to begin

[Chorus]

Allele - Stitches
It kicks, if you haven't heard it, you should go look for it :p
I know that you've come
To end my shame
And dig up my empty scars
Just to cut them again
Have you ever been sown shut?

I'll lay my hands down
To comfort your empty soul
It never forgets
It lies in your skin beneath your back bone

I tried to hide
I don't want to be afraid
Of letting go, of someone like you
Another life another story
How will I know?

This time I can't speak
I'll scratch on my itchy wounds
It never forgives
A bed of your broken nails to lay on

I tried to hide
I don't want to be afraid
Of letting go, of someone like you
Another life another story
How will I know?

How will I know?

I don't want to be afraid [x2]
Of someone like you
I don't want to be afraid of letting go

I like the Quartertones but when I first saw the title to this song when it came out it was not what I was expecting. hehe.


In northern Canada there is a singing game among the Inuit that is called throat singing that isn't like the throat singing by folks like Mongolians,  or the Ainu in Japan, or even the Xosa in South Africa. There are 6 or seven different kinds of Inuit "throat singing". It isn't really singing though, so to speak, but more like a vocal game since the normal voice is used as well. Along with breathing and .... oh. I'm sorry. Went all super geek there for a moment. :robotvery-happy:


Here are some quick and short examples.




and a site with a lot of explanations of the various types of Inuit "Throat singing" and other types from around the world as well as some long examples.




Cheers!

When it comes to the Matrix, i'm more a classical person, although i'm
actually more a rock/moshy type person. But usually I go for fast paced
classical, such as:



Requiem Prologue - Battle Royale :smileyvery-happy:

And

Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi  - Fortuna plango vulnera (Carmina Burana peice)



....And the Imperial March...

#10400063499 01/03/2006 05:11:07 Re: Tell everyone your personal MxO Theme Song.

Actually I am continually amazed by just how many of my favourite songs could be interpreted in a Matrix kinda way.


Mostly when I play I have the Alabama 3 playing in the background and I would say a good 2 thirds of their output takes me into the Matrix when I hear it.


But I have gotten the same feeling from some very odd places too...Tom Waits, David Bowie, Z.Z.Topp, Johnny Cash...I could go on, its weird but if your looking for a connection you can usually find one :smileyhappy:


This is my personal theme for Apocryphon,  Reverend of the 1st Presleytarian Church of Elvis the Divine, MegaCity Branch.


Alabama 3


Converted.


Forty days you been, tired and tempted


Forty night you been,out in the cold


Every phoneline conversation's been intercepted


And you can't re-connect, 'cause the frequency is closed.



So many miles you been, out of direction


So manysigns but you aint, got nowhere to go


Your Cadillac's got its headlights disconnected


Rolling your wheels down the, wron side of the road.



Can you see them now


Can you see them now


Can you see the Sisters swinging?



Let's go back to Church


Let's go back to Church


So **bleep** long since we sang tha song


Let's go back to Church.



Ler's go back to Church


Let's go back to Church


Any day now, any way, any how


Let's go back to Church.



You drank the wine but, it tastes like water


You broke the bread but, it turned to stone


Your sacrament, it lay scattered on the pavement


The covenants you kept have all been, stolen, and sold.



Can you hear them now


Can you hear them now


Can you hear the Brothers singing?


(Chorus & repeats)


I will be checking out some of the tracks you all listed that I dont know, I like all kindsa music so I feel safe :smileytongue:

#10400064548 01/05/2006 12:58 Re: Tell everyone your personal MxO Theme Song.
My first choice for my character's theme song would have to go to:

Name of the Game - The Crystal Method

Every time I hear that song, I am mentally prepared to administer serious pain to anything that gets in my way.... and just watch out, because at level 17 I am a living engine of destruction... or something like that.:smileywink:

My second choice would go to:

Swamped - Lacuna Coil

That song lifts my spirits when I'm starting to feel like my RSI is actually a human shaped punching bag or hyper-efficient bullet catcher.
