Dark Tower Soundtrack

[agent_tommy]

For the one or two of you who care.
So I'm working on a Dark Tower Ultimate Soundtrack, and have a small core list of songs:

Obvious Choices (at least to me) that come from the books:
*Hey Jude - The Beatles: A song I will forever associate with the books; a relic of times past.
*Man of Constant Sorrow - Dan Tyminski: Awesome song, and appropriate

My thought is that once you make this awesome sountrack that you send me a copy :)
Also I have As Time Goes By.

Don't forget the stuff off of Demons & Wizards "Touched By The Crimson King."

crimson king, terror train, seize the day, and the gunslinger being direct references, and many others on that CD being less direct, but still with the theme. Beneath These Waves being about Ahab, who is also like Roland in his quest, Wicked Witch which is about Wizard of Oz and Rhea, and Dorian being about Dorian Grey, but also kinda like Roland, etc.

Yeah, I still have the copy you burned for me. I listened to it again right before starting my search. And...I don't know. While the lyrics are definitely directly related, power metal just doesn't feel like a Dark Tower-y sound. One of the reasons I'm considering cutting Ease On Down the Road by Michael Jackson.

Oh! I forgot Someone Saved My Life Tonight! And I should check the lyric quotes King does at the beginning of chapters sometimes.

Do you remember any other songs that had strong places in the book like Hey Jude and Velcro Fly?

Wicked Witch has a good sound to it that isn't too heavy.

As for other songs? Not off the top of my head, no, but I'll see what I can think of.

I could probably be of more use if I ever actually got around to reading the books.

Let us know what you finally settle on though!
