What would you say are the Phalanx's theme songs?

For Sister Psyche:

Sister Psychic, by Smash Mouth

This is the only thing I could find for you to hear the song.

I know the title is Sister Psychic, but when the words are sung it totally sounds like Sister Psyche.

---

Well they are the Freedom Phalanx.

---

I think Michelle said she was looking for themes for the individual members...

I'm working on a series of music videos, and I've got songs for Synapse, Statesman, and Manticore, but I just cannot figure out what to use for Positron and Sister Psyche.

I'm really looking for songs that convey their personalities and/or backgrounds, with stuff like powers as a secondary consideration. I am not looking for songs that are appropriate in name only (for example, "Can't Get You Out of My Head" by Kylie Minogue, while a very catchy song, isn't quite right for Sister Psyche).

Any ideas? (And if you post a suggestion, please just add a quick sentence as to why you think the song fits - it'll help when I listen to it to try and put it in a context.)

first two that hit me.

Positron - Weird Science

Sister Psyche - Vetran of the Psychic wars - Blue oyster colt

[/ QUOTE ]

While I might allow "Weird Science" as a possibility, hell will FREEZE before I make a video to "Veteran of the Psychic Wars," the MOST OVERUSED song for characters EVER. No, no, NO, absolutely not. In fact, I might even go so far as to never use the entire HEAVY METAL album.

[ QUOTE ]
Totally unrelated to the topic, but Ko, you should make a video with all classical music.

I'm actually working on one set to classical music.

Sorry, I had no idea. Really. Maybe I should pop my head out of my hole once in a while?

But please don't say it is because BOC rubs you wrong. You got too much cool to hate.

Nope, I like BOC. Just got so sick of that song.

Also, for everyone else, I am making a list of your suggested songs and will be listening to them tonight to get ideas.

I am probably the only person who thinks this, but I can see this song working for Synapse.

Dare!

My COX Fanfiction:


Blue's Assembled Story Links

Not that I can say whom specifically these would be good for, but if you plan on doing a classical version I might suggest any of Richard Wagner's works for Redside use (if you should happen to want to do something similar for Recluse and company), or while distinctly overused (but still very nice) the 1812 Overture by Tchaikovsky.

Beyond that, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chcV6Wm5grg may also be useful for Redside: The Disintigrators by Megadeth

I realize you are working on the Phalanx right now, but I figured just in case you get ambitious down the line here's some extra stuff.

Best of luck

Whenever you finish those music videos, you'd better upload em and link here quick smart!

Oh, don't worry, Prof_Backfire, they'll be posted.

I've already begun work on Synapse's, and even if I do say so myself, this sucker is gonna kick major a**. The song and the video, like their subject, both move hellishly fast.

Having gone back and gotten what some of your suggestions were (YouTube links with no names makes things difficult for me when YouTube is blocked at work and I couldn't tell what your song suggestions were)...

I'm astounded that for Back Alley Brawler, not a SINGLE person suggested this?

For Sister Psyche...

"Dreams" by Van Halen

For Positron...

"Kickstart My Heart" by Motely Crue

For the whole Freedom Phalanx?

"Carry On" by Manowar

---

My non-canon, not terribly involved in story aspects of the game, so could be wrong in lots of ways, answers:

Sister Psyche: Blue Oyster Cult "Veteran of the Psychic Wars" -- poor girl is severely damaged and only holds together through her bond with the other Phalanx members and Manticore, specifically.

Lyrics link

Positron is harder. Maybe "Livin' on the Edge" by Aerosmith or "Birdhouse in Your Soul" by They Might Be Giants. Then again, "The Man Who Sold the World" by David Bowie might fit.

EDIT: Someone beat me to the punch with Veteran of the Psychic Wars. I lose...but it's still a good choice.

EDIT 2: Since Samuraiko says hell will freeze over before using that song, maybe "Lithium" from Nivana would work for Sister Psyche.

*laughing*

Sorry, Castle... unabashed card-carrying dev-fangirl I may be, but not even you could make me use that song. But I will have to give your other suggestions a listen and add them to my considerations list!

I wonder if having a redname post in my thread will improve my chances of others posting here...

Whenever I see the name "Sister Psyche", I'm immediately reminded of Juke Joint Jezebel" by KMFDM:

Lyrics:
I can't reject this empty hole.
I cannot count this bloody cost.
I can't believe this wretched soul.
Come Penetrate all this loss.
Come on and kill this sense of life,
And be the one who is denied.
Now show me one more upturned knife,
And fill the emptiness inside!

Be mine, sister salvation.
Juke-Joint-Jezebel is coming for my cremation
Be mine, sister salvation.
Closer now - see the revelation.

If I could leave my burning skin,
That has been used up in your skin.
Is there a tiny part of me,
Untouched -- unsoiled by misery!

I am the city that will lie.
You are the one that blame passed by.
This is the place where I will weep.
The lonelisness of sweet conceit!

The revelation.
See the revelation.
The revelation.
