Some say that the best way to communicate is through music and that it transcends any language barrier we as human beings have.

So I decided to see if I can prove this saying true- to an extent.

I'd like everyone who reads this and has the time to do so, to pick 14 songs- the average number of songs on a movie OST and music CD these days- that you feel best describe yourself and the person you are, were and will become.

It can be lyrical, it can be instrumental, it can be anything- so long as it's music. Is it a track from a TV show you love? An anime? A classical CD? Thrash metal? Country? Rap?

Anything in there. No matter what genre, no matter what artist or type it is; if you're listening to it and, every single time you hear it, you feel that song resonate within your mind, your heart and your soul; put it on that soundtrack and post either the tracklist- in any order you choose- or a zipfile with the songs within it.

Also; no one gets to mock any artist or song that comes up; we come from all walks of life and some peoples' tastes are older than others or are incredibly different. Don't knock it until you try it and even then, don't knock it; period. Any posts mocking another's will be deleted or edited to be made into a compliment about the other person. (Read: Invasion of posting space will happen.)

If you're curious about the meaning behind the song or the reason I chose it from my own list I'm putting up here? Feel free to ask- same goes for anyone who feels comfortable enough either posting their own reasons behind the song, or if they'd rather have it not publicly viewable but would be willing to share with those who ask.

For those of you like me who like to play the "Spot the Pattern/Running Theme" game; see if you can spot any in someone's music- don't just listen to the lyrics, but try and absorb the entire song- look beneath the underneath and the obvious to see if there's a message there.

Without further ado, I'll kick this off to a (hopefully) running start with my own list:


1. Before the Dawn by Evanescence
2. Uninvited by Alanis Morissette
3. Conversations With My 13 Year Old Self by Pink
4. You Found Me by The Fray
5. Guarded by Disturbed
6. Oil and Water by Incubus
7. Seem to Be by LaRue
8. One Day I'll Fly Away by Nicole Kidman
9. Fallen by Sarah McLachlan
10. Bittersweet by Plumb
11. Contagious by Trapt
12. Beautiful by 10 Years
13. Hurt by Christina Aguilera
14. The Dance by Garth Brooks

Well, this topic has inspired me to finally update my personal soundtrack. =P

I don't necessarily think that I have a group of songs that are just randomly in my soundtrack, but I'm more selective as far as what song fits best to each situation. So, each song as a title to it, basically of when that song would be playing in Savior X's head (and mine =3). Just a note, most of the links are to youtube videos of the songs, but a few I had to personally upload to a site, so some are direct links to the music files.

1. Opening Theme (NICO Touches The Wall – Hologram)
2. Savior X’s Theme (Hiroyuki Takei – I Can’t Wait Any More)
3. In The Field (Halo 2 – In Amber Clad)
4. Normal Battle (Star Ocean 4 – Blood On The Keys)
5. Alternative Battle (BT – Mad Skillz)
6. In The Dungeon (Command & Conquer Red Alert – Hell March)
7. Rising Morale (Dynasty Warriors 3 – Lu Bu’s Theme Fat Mix)
8. Boss Fight (Legend of Dragoon – Boss Battle)
9. Epic Battle (Phoenix Wright Cadenza – Investigation Cornered)
10. Last Stand (Disturbed - Torn)
11. Dark Thoughts (Neon Genesis Evangelion - The Beast)
12. Victory (Gurren Lagann - Thrust Through The Heaven With Your Spirit!)
13. Ending Theme (Phoenix Wright Turnabout Meets Orchestra – Trials and Tribulations Ending)
14. Bonus Track: Party Theme (The Resignators - Offbeat Feeling)

I've put links to YouTube... hope no one minds... >.>; Plus I ended up working on this all day, whoops.

01. Heavy Light from Animusic 2
02. My First Friend by Hyadain (Doctor Mario)
03. Memory from the musical Cats
04. Monstrous Turtles! OC remix of Super Mario World
05. Battle Theme from Suito Homu
06. Broken by Sins of a Divine Mother
07. In a Cave by Hyadain (Dragon Quest 3)
08. Numb by Linkin Park
09. You've Got a Friend in Me by Randy Newman
10. Waking Up by Julien-K
11. Soko ni Sora ga Aru Kara
12. Dream Island Obsessional Park by Susumu Hirasawa
13. Nico Nico Douga Medley Orchestrated version
14. Skye Boat Song played on Belleplates, arrangement by Malcolm Wilson

Sure 13 and 14 are bonus tracks since they could be placed anywhere. However since I did try to tell a bit of a tale with the collection, so they had to be at the end. Sorry about the fact that it doesn't flow from one song to another well anough in places.

As for the random outburst of Randy Newman, that is now Watorie's Themesong. For that marks our first meeting. *nods* ...Only now I can see him singing it after randomly sitting down at my lunch table... o_o;

Here's my soundtrack. I put the emotions with the songs in double parenthesis after the song title. Links are links to places you get listen or download them. Some of the "emotions" don't seem like it, but that's because they're complicated...

1. animal collective - water curses ((trippy, no drugs required))
2. Ronald Jenkees - Guitar Sound ((creative and funky))
3. Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb ((depression))
4. Hans Zimmer and Lisa Gerrard - Now We Are Free ((Passionate glory))
5. The Pillows - Hybrid Rainbow ((everything's okay, life's a breeze, childhood never ends, innocent enjoyment))
6. she - gum ((chaotic paradise))
7. Daft Punk - Encore - Human After All / Together - Together / One More Time (reprise) / Stardust - Music Sounds Better with You ((Rave Heaven)) [[the light show is also amazing]]
8. Lunar - The Unknown (TWH Remix) ((flying in space as an angel))
9. Royksopp - Happy Up There ((happy happy))
10. Royksopp - Only This Moment ((Love)) [[beautiful song]]
11. Secret and Whisper - XOXOXO ((hardcore))
12. Sigur Ros - Glosoli ((childhood, ecstasy))
13. Sublime - Garden Grove ((roudy, doing something I'm not supposed to but enjoying it anyway))
14. John Scofield - Acidhead ((cool and suave, swagger))

@number 8 - I think about flying all the time. I fly in all of my dreams and think about flying at least once a day - never less than once.

--hidden track :P--
15. Goo Goo Dolls - Iris ((loving someone online and desperately trying to emulate yourself so they fall in love too))

Ai ya...I love and hate these things. I love seeing everyone else and, like Sekai, wonder what aspect of the song relates to them.
