Hey, y'all, I'm in a musical mood lately (maybe you can tell) and I came up with a little activity for us to do.
Make a playlist for your character(s). You can make as many playlists with as few or as many songs as you want, for as many characters as you want. Ask yourself these questions:
What genres does my character prefer? What music describes him or her best? What could I see them dancing to? Would they even like dancing music?
Basically, what music fits with his or her personality?
So, get out your iPods and CDs and find your characters some music!
You can add links to the songs if you want, or you can let the rest of us look up the music on our own. Above all, have fun with this!
Here's a few I've come up with for my own characters taken from my personal music library:
Django:
I'm Still Here- John Rzeznik
Brave- Nichole Nordeman
Remembering You- Steven Curtis Chapman
The Nature of Things- Act of Congress
Cross (from my separate account):
All the Broken Pieces- Matthew West
Back To You- MercyMe
You Never Are- Francesca Battistelli
Little Wonders- Rob Thomas
Soladeo Gloria:
Bad- Michael Jackson
Jungle Gym- Jack Johnson
Turkish Delight- David Crowder Band
One of Those Days- Joy Williams
Victiore Fawn (from my separate account):
Here Comes the Sun- (version performed by) Sheryll Crow
Fireflies- Owl City
Bubbly- Colbie Calliat
Ode to a Butterfly- Nickel Creek
And there you have it. Four different playlists for four different characters. I've done this a few times before on other sites, and it really helps me cement my characters' personalities. It's also a lot of fun.
What do your characters listen to?
-Django
EDIT: Since I went crazy and now have FOUR STINKIN' ACCOUNTS, I thought I'd make a few more playlists.
Lyric 'Rook':
Robin & Marian- Nickel Creek
Chance Meeting- Act of Congress
The Bear- Act of Congress
To the Sky- Owl City
Joaquin 'Blaze' de la Cruz:
Set the World on Fire- Britt Nicole
Fire it Up- TFK
Catchafire- TobyMac
Not Crazy- Act of Congress
Cordin F. L. H. Dorchester:
No Such Thing- John Mayer
I Refuse- Josh Wilson
Love Song for No One- John Mayer
Might Just Save Your Life- Brandon Heath
December Krell:
Don't You Know You're Beautiful- Kelly Pickler
What Happened- Jessie Daniels
Rainbow Veins- Owl City
This Is the Stuff- Francesca Battistelli
And I'll be adding more as the notion strikes me, but for now I think that's enough.
