My Dark Link/LinkxZelda doujin came in the mail, I scanned a really cute page and colored it and... was reminded that I was supposed to do a FST. Hell yeah!
Download 1. I Will Follow You Into The Dark - Death Cab For Cutie
And I held my tongue
As she told me, "Son
Fear is the heart of love"
So I never went back
A song about following the princess wherever she goes-- eventually, when it will be into legend.
2. Stand in the Rain - Superchick
She won't turn around
The shadows grow long and she fears
If she cries that first tear, the tears will not stop raining down
There's no longer another option aside from being brave for your kingdom when its lost its all and you have to help rebuild it back.
3. Brave Song (Gldemo Ver.) - Angel Beats!
I have always walked alone. When I looked back, everyone was faraway
Even so, I kept walking. That was my strength
"I'm not afraid of anything anymore", I muttered to myself
Everyone will be alone someday, living on in memories only
I fight so that I will be able to love and laugh despite of the loneliness
I won't show my tears
They're both solitary people, with their own issues and things to deal with. It's learning that they don't have to be alone that's the next step.
4. I Feel Better - Hot Chip
I only want one night, together in our arms
This is the longest night, we're meeting arms to arms
Nothing is wasted and life is worth living
Heaven is nowhere, just look to the stars
There is a day that is yours for embracing
Everything's nothing, and nothing is ours
The mighty and the bold, the ruler and her knight. Even they have moments where they realize they are simply just people, and share those wishes that normal people do.
5. Marry the Night - Lady Gaga
I'm gonna marry the night
I won't give up on my life
I'm a warrior queen
Live passionately tonight
I'm gonna marry the dark
Gonna make love to the stark
I'm a soldier to my own emptiness
I am a winner
I'm gonna marry the night
Admittedly a more lively song than what suits her, but even with the crushing effort ahead to rebuild her kingdom, there has to be a warrior cry of victory somewhere inside Zelda, for finally winning, with the aid of so many, and now with the aid of Shadow to help rebuild-- a 'let your hair down' song.
6. Secret Heart - Feist
Is there a secret that you're trying to conceal
is the very same one that you're dying to reveal
go tell 'em how you feel
... Shadow is tsundere. It's still a deep song, but that's the best way to explain it.
7. Black Rose / Green Sun - HS Vol. 7
Instrumental
A nice mix of light tones over a shadowy song, evolving into a serious one.
8. Bend & Break - Keane
If only I don't bend and break
I'll meet you on the other side
I'll meet you in the light
If only I don't suffocate
I'll meet you in the morning when you wake
Getting used to a being of light really is a labor of love for someone in the shadows.
9. When the Day Met the Night - Panic! At the Disco
Well, he was just hanging around
Then he fell in love
And he didn't know how
But he couldn't get out
Just hanging around
Then he fell in love
And knowing it's not just the hero in him telling him to love her, either. This whole song is perfect, just by title alone.
10. Your Guardian Angel - The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus
Seasons are changing
And waves are crashing
And stars are falling all for us
Days grow longer
And nights grow shorter
I can show you I'll be the one
I'll show you I'm the hero you wished for.
11. It Is You (I Have Loved) - Dana Glover
There is something that I see
In the way you look at me
There's a smile, there's a truth in your eyes
But an unexpected way
On this unexpected day
Could it mean this is where I belong
It is you I have loved all along
It's no more mystery
It is finally clear to me
You're the home my heart searched for so long
And it is you I have loved all along
I think Zelda would have to eventually come to terms with wondering if her new hero was a replacement in her heart for the one she lost-- but when she really, finally confronted herself, she knew who she loved, and it wasn't the ghost of a person, but the person who took up the sword and scabbard and granted her wish.
A nice realization song-- I imagine it wasn't long after she realized it that she'd decide she'd ask him to marry her.
12. So Obvious - Runner Runner
This is our night
Look in my eyes
We can go all the way
I'm losing my mind, broken inside
And take my breath away
They can have a fun, bouncy love song-- it's just a theme for being excited to have someone to share the night with.
13. Our Love - Rhett Miller
Our love surpassed our love so fast
Our love's all wrong
Our love goes on and on
Our love became our love by name
When I wrote it to you in a song
Our love goes on and on
They're very unconventional for a princess and a hero. But they're okay with that.
