appropriate music
Can be but one song for me, the words and tone of the song are particularly poignant at this moment in time.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTMrlHHVx8A
Into the night
Desperate and broken
The sound of a fight
Father has spoken
We were the kings and queens of promise
We were the victims of ourselves
Maybe the children of a lesser God
Between Heaven and Hell
Heaven and Hell
Into your eyes
Hopeless and taken
We stole our new lives
Through blood and pain
In defense of our dreams
In defense of our dreams
We were the Kings and Queens of promise
We were the victims of ourselves
Maybe the Children of a lesser God
Between Heaven and Hell
Heaven and Hell
The age of man is over
A darkness comes and all
These lessons that we learned here
Have only just begun
We were the Kings and Queens of promise
We were the victims of ourselves
Maybe the Children of a Lesser God
Between Heaven and Hell
We are the Kings
We are the Queens
We are the Kings
We are the Queens
And a Song for all the friends I will miss
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8smO4VS9134
When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark.
At the end of the storm
There's a golden sky
And the sweet silver
Song of a lark.
Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Though your dreams
Be tossed and blown.
Walk on
Walk on
With hope in your hearts
I And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone.
Walk on
Walk on

Swedish House Mafia - Save the World
This song came onto my Pandora while I was doing my best to keep my mind on other things. I couldn't handle it. I broke down and became useless for like an hour after hearing that song.
"Who's gonna bring you back to life? "
We are!

Aww, Viridian.
Just gotta know what happens next, eh?

I somehow got really involved in the Save Paragon City! movement. One song that keeps going through my mind? "How Far We've Come" by Matchbox 20:
Waking up at the start of the end of the world,
But it's feeling just like every other morning before,
Now I wonder what my life is going to mean if it's gone,
The cars are moving like a half a mile an hour
And I started staring at the passengers who're waving goodbye
Can you tell me what was ever really special about me all this time?
I believe the world is burning to the ground
Oh well I guess we're gonna find out
Let's see how far we've come...
I think that's where a lot of people fighting to save the game are: the world may be burning to the ground, but it's just one more chance to see how far we, the community, have come.

Can't think of a more perfectly fitting song than My Way.
And now the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
My friend I'll say it clear
I'll state my case of which I'm certain
I've lived a life that's full
I traveled each and every highway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way
Regrets I've had a few
But then again too few to mention
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption
I planned each charted course
Each careful step along the byway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way
Yes there were times I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out, I faced it all
And I stood tall and did it my way
I've loved, I've laughed and cried
I've had my fill, my share of losing
And now as tears subside
I find it all so amusing
To think I did all that
And may I say not in a shy way
Oh no, oh no, not me
I did it my way
For what is a man what has he got
If not himself then he has not
To say the things he truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blows
And did it my way
Yes it was my way
"I need a Hero" by Bonnie Tyler was obviously the one big one I missed so far.

Because it reminds me of how I felt when I first started playing, and everything was amazing to me.

Seeing as I forgot to post pertinent lyrics last time:
Player One - Machinae Supremacy
I wanna play until I die / Don't wanna lose my reasons why / I race towards the sky / In a world that never ends / I keep coming back for more / Coming back until I score / Always stronger than before / In a world that never ends
Tomorrow I will be here / And I won't be the only one / Our dreams will always adhere / To a world beyond this one
Hero - Machinae Supremacy
They try to beat me / But they will not ever defeat me / This time we're on my battleground / I'm gonna win / Trust in me / I have come to save this world / And in the end I'll get the girl
And a sentiment for those determined to save the game:
Oki Kuma's Adventure - Machinae Supremacy
I refuse to fail, to kneel or bow / No power in the 'verse can stop me now.

I remember when, I remember
I remember when I lost my mind
There was something so pleasant about that place
Even your emotions have an echo in so much space
And when you're out there without care
Yeah, I was out of touch
But it wasn't because I didn't know enough
I just knew too much
Does that make me crazy?
Does that make me crazy?
Does that make me crazy?
Possibly
And I hope that you are having the time of your life
But think twice
That's my only advice
Come on now, who do you, who do you, who do you,
who do you think you are?
Ha ha ha, bless your soul
You really think you're in control?
Well, I think you're crazy
I think you're crazy
I think you're crazy
Just like me
My heroes had the heart to lose their lives out on a limb
And all I remember
Is thinking, I want to be like them
Ever since I was little
Ever since I was little
Oh it looked like fun
And it's no coincidence I've come
And I can die when I'm done
But maybe I'm crazy
Maybe you're crazy
Maybe we're crazy
Probably

If I ever leave this world alive
I'll take on all the sadness

If I ever leave this world alive

I'll be here when it all gets weird

Fight the Good Fight;

No matter how long it takes
No mater how long
No matter how long it takes
We'll never be alone
Don't wanna make
A wrong headline
No matter how strong
They'll be watching
Every move you make
Don't let em know
They can beat you
Fortune favor the brave
Learn how to use that muscle
Take a little chance will get you
Everything you see
Living at the speed of light
Gotta make your heart beat faster
You gotta climb inside
Set that spirit free
Fight the good fight
Fingers to the bone
take a stand And save
this land of liberty
Stumble on the ground
That shakes you
Push it to the point
That breaks you
Little bit of fire
It gives you soul of a winner
Help you bring them
To their knees
No matter how long it takes
(No matter)
No mater how long
(No matter how long)
No matter how long it takes
We'll never be alone
Don't wanna make
A wrong headline
No matter how strong
(No matter how strong)
They'll be watching
Every move you make
Don't let em know
They can beat you
In the face of the foe
Never let em drag you under
Don't you wanna leave
Behind you, a legacy
Catch another streak of lightning
By the god of fire and thunder
Battle in the name of the nation
Making history
Fight the good fight
Finger to the bone
Gotta take a stand
And save this land of liberty
And brother
When you're down to zero
Everybody needs that hero
Gotta be a star to follow
All the way there
And all the way home
No matter how long it takes
No mater how long
No matter how long it takes
We'll never be alone
Don't wanna make
A wrong headline
No matter how strong
They'll be watching
Every move you make
Don't let em know
They can beat you
Don't let me know (fight)
No matter how long (fight)
No matter how long (fight)
No matter how long (fight)
No matter
No matter how long (fight)
How long
No matter how long (fight)

On the subject of videos, a video that I found the same day as I found that one is this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42y2v...eature=related
It's not really anything special compared to the last one - it's just one of the very old (note the old design for BaBs) launch trailers for CoH with the audio replaced with a song. What's notable about it is how incredibly perfectly the song syncs up with the trailer without any editing of either one. It was so close that at first I thought that this was the original trailer, until I ran across a version with the original audio (and I still like this version better, as the original audio includes a really bad voiceover).
It's also pretty good, I think. The official trailers for this game were always pretty looking, and the song certainly fits well. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find a HD version of that original trailer, though there's probably one out there somewhere.

This is what it means to be a tank!
Another song that comes to mind is the 'theme song' that my first SG adopted, back in the Issue 1 days. We had a few wannabe writers (myself included, of course) in the group, and most of the stories we wrote about the SG were about a desperate group trying to create some kind of safe haven in a suffering city. We had kind of a dark view of CoH back then (not bad, just... dark).
World on Fire - Sarah McLachlan
Poets of the Fall's "Locking Up the Sun" was unanimously voted by the leaders of our SG (Star Patrol, on Justice) as our theme song. (I'd actually half-finished a video for it when my hard drive crashed and I lost all the footage I'd shot for it.) The idea that we were the heroes who were 'the [expendable] scapegoats who rock the boat', the 'volunteers to face their fears' was tremendously appealing for us.
As for the songs that come to mind about the closure of COH... they're entirely too depressing to share here.

I have had so much fun with City of Heroes, and I really want to focus on the good times that I've had.
Hello darkness my old friend...I've come to talk to you again...
Simon and Garfunkel - The Sound of Silence. This music will be for the final 'walk' around the city.
This is the saddest music in history.
Godzilla Vs. Destoroyah soundtrack - Requiem. To be played in the last few minutes before the servers go down.
...But before it gets to that time...
We will fight.
Auron's Theme
One Piece Soundtrack- Overtaken
This is music to fight to. To send petitions to. To rally to.
We're one week down. We've close to 11 weeks left to have an impact.
Now! This is it! Now is the time to choose! Die and be free of pain or live and fight your sorrow! Now is the time to shape your stories! Your fate is in your hands!
Until the day comes that the place closes with no chance of anyone picking the game up, I'm still playing this:
http://youtu.be/RayPLl8IHXE - Snow Patrol, Take Back the City.
Surprised no one has posted this tune as a theme for all the actions going on to save CoH.
Or I've just missed it due to vodka induced blindness. (Disclaimer! Not been taken due to anything other than end of week enjoyment!)
