always been one for mischief. {a playlist}
IN THE HALL OF THE MOUNTAIN KING ❈ Edvard Grieg
(starting off with something that feels distinctly more "Asgardian". it's perfectly sneaky and mischievous sounding,
and evolves into something much more complicated and intimidating.)
STUCK IN THE MIDDLE WITH YOU ❈ Stealers Wheel
Trying to make some sense of it all,
But I can see that it makes no sense at all,
Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor,
'Cause I don't think that I can take anymore
(to me this song has already portrayed a sense of mass confusion and exasperation and yet still enjoying yourself in the process.
fitting for the god of mischief.)
WISH YOU WERE HERE ❈ Pink Floyd
Did you exchange
A walk on part in the war,
For a lead role in a cage?
(there's a sense of tragedy and loneliness in this one that I always thought was perfect for Loki.)
TRAIN IN VAIN ❈ The Clash
You must explain why this must be
Did you lie when you spoke to me
(this one's for you, Odin.)
GET OFF OF MY CLOUD ❈ The Rolling Stones
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Don't hang around 'cause two's a crowd
On my cloud
(Loki needs an FML song. this one is it. why can't anyone just let him have his fun?)
COLD AS ICE ❈ Foreigner
I've seen it before it happens all the time
You're closing the door, you leave the world behind
(frost giant. get it? on top of that, a fitting portrayal of a certain part of his personality from an outside point of view.)
CONSCIENCE KILLER ❈ Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
I'm a king, I'm a ruse
I'm born again with no life to lose
(the great song for a Trickster who just doesn't give a damn anymore.)
BITTER SWEET SYMPHONY ❈ The Verve
But I'm a million different people from one day to the next
I can't change my mold, no, no, no, no, no
(a melancholy song for a shapeshifter who can change his form, but not much more than that.)
THE UNFORGIVEN ❈ Metallica
What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
(from before, for the son who never felt equal. for after, for the disgraced and fallen prince.)
WITHOUT ME (EXPLICIT) ❈ Eminem
I'm gonna enter in and up under your skin like a splinter
The center of attention back for the winter
(a nod to a certain awesome tumblr, but also a song that is strangely suited for Loki in its "tone". NSFW. )
BUCKJUMP (FEAT. REBIRTH BRASS BAND AND 5TH WARD WEEBIE) ❈ Trombone Shorty
Just give it to me!
(to bookend the set and act as a parallel to the first song. contemporary, because Loki can totally do contemporary better than any other of his fellow gods.
it becomes more chaotic at the end, but strangely doesn't devolve in doing so, rather becoming its best when it does.)
