Songs that remind you of 9....

[SiL]

I haven't seen a thread such as this so far ( if one does exist and I've somehow overlooked it, please do not hold it against me. I think I"m safe, though. ...*hopes*)

But yeah---heard any songs lately that reminded you of the movie 9: plot, characters, pairings, ect? Post the lyrics here!


Anyway, I have one. It's called " Nothing I Won't Give" by Vic Mignogna, and was originally written and preformed for the anime series Fullmetal Alchemist, but I was listening to it today in the car on the way to Columbus to see Ponyo, and after the first few words it immediately reminded me of 9, mainly how 9 and 5 would feel about 2's death.



Haunted by the past
A nightmare that seemed so unreal
I wish that I could turn back time
And spare the pain that we both feel
And now we’ve changed
Things will never be the same
(Things will never be the same)

We were foolish then
But our trials served to make us strong
The burdens are not yours alone
We’ve sought the answers for so long
But they’re not free
They cost you more than they cost me
(My brother…)

I promise you, there is nothing I won’t give
To see this through
Return the soul to where it lives
I promise you, I’d go everywhere I’ve been
To find a way to make atonement for my sin and see
See your smiling face again

When we’ve paid the price at last
And we are whole once more
Life will be the way it was
The way it was before the day
She slipped away
Together we’ll redeem that day

And I promise you, there is nothing I won’t give
To see this through
Return the soul to where it lives
I promise you, I’d go everywhere I’ve been
To find a way to make atonement for my sin and see
See your smiling face…

(I promise…)[3 x]

I promise you, there is nothing I won’t give
To see this through
Return the soul to where it lives
I promise you, I’d go everywhere I’ve been
To find a way to make atonement for my sin and see
See your smiling face again

The Jimi Hendrix song "If 6 was 9"

[welcomehome]

Well, I'm going to say the obvious- Welcome Home by Coheed and Cambria. *shot*

Other songs that really just inspire me for 9 fanworks:
Far Away: Nickleback
Love Like This: Natasha Bedingfield feat. Sean Kingston
What If: Safety Suit
Bruises: Chairlift
Undertow: Stars
Sunrise: Norah Jones
Love Shack: B 52's

You may have guessed that it's for shippy stuff- that seems to be a specialty of mine.

[SiL]

Heh..we're playing Love Shack in marching band as part of our first halftime show. ^^'' Shipping stuff is fun....." You Belong With Me" by Taylor Swift always ends up making me want to write 9x7 stuff for some reason. ^^ Another song that reminds me of 9 is " Look Through My Eyes " by Phil Collins from Disney's " Brother Bear".

[Pazam]

I would have to say these songs are appropriate for 9 besides Welcome Home.
The Sea King-Wolfstone
Pocketful of Sunshine-Natasha Bedingfield
Miss Independent-Kelly Clarkson
Citizen/Solider-3 Doors Down
Face Down-The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus
We are the Champions-Queen
Bad Reputation-Joan Jett
What Im made of-Crush 40
Unwritten-Natasha Bedingfield
In the End-Linkin Park
Numb-Linkin Park
Love Her-Seether

[LadyLuminary]

"Welcome Home," Coheed and Cambria
"Crossroads," Tracy Chapman
"Wait for Me," Moby
"What If," SafetySuit (thanks ozymandius!)

That's all for now. There will be more, I'm sure of it.

[Totochu]

For some reason the song "Every Day Is Exactly the Same" by Nine Inch Nails always makes me think of 6 before 9 arrived.

[SiL]

" Fear" by Paulie Perdette reminds me very much of 7.

Are you scared of the dark
Are you afraid they’ll break your heart
Are you afraid you’ll lose yourself
Are you afraid of your own health

Are you scared to lose
Are you afraid to choose
Are you afraid you’ll win
Are you scared of your own sin

Are you scared to forgive
Are you afraid to live
Are you afraid to die
Do you think you told a lie

Chorus:

To live
When you think you’re dying
To laugh
When you feel like crying
To stand
When you think you’re gonna fall
It’s just fear after all
It’s only fear after all

Are you afraid you’ll be alone
Are you scared to pick up the phone
Are you scared of the past
Do you think that you might crash
Do you think you’re in too deep

Are you afraid to sleep
Are you scared there’s no stability
Are you afraid of your own fragility

Chorus

To mend
When you’re think you’re breaking
To strength
When you know you’re shaking
To pray
When your back’s against the wall

It’s only fear after all

Are you scared of the end
Are you scared to begin
Are you scared of the start
Do you think they’ll break your heart
Do you think they’ll break your heart


Chorus

It’s only fear
The only fear is fear itself
The only fear is fear itself
The only fear is fear itself
It’s only fear

Eh... I'm gonna go with "Young" by Hollywood Undead...
Well, more of only one verse:

We are young
we have heart
Born in this world as it all falls apart
We are strong
But we don't belong
Born in this world as it all falls apart

The rest of the song doesn't really match... but it still reminds me of 9.

Another song is "One-X" by Three Days Grace.

Do you think about
Everything you've been through
You never thought you'd be so depressed
Are you wondering
Is it life or death
Do you think that there's no one like you

We are
We are
We are
We are the ones
We get knocked down
We get back up and stand above the crowd
We are one
We are the ones
We get knocked down
We get back up and stand above the crowd
We are one

The life I think about
Is so much better than this
I never thought I'd be stuck in this mess
I'm sick of wondering
Is it life or death
I need to figure out who's behind me

We are
We are
We are
We are the ones
We get knocked down
We get back up and stand above the crowd
We are one
We are the ones
We get knocked down
We get back up and stand above the crowd
We are one

The life I think about
Is so much better than this
I never thought I'd be stuck in this mess
I'm sick of wondering
Is it life or death?

We are the ones
We get knocked down
We get back up and stand above the crowd
We are one
We are the ones
We get knocked down
We get back up and stand above the crowd
We are one

We stand above the crowd
We stand above the crowd
We stand above the crowd (Crowd)
(We stand) We stand above the crowd
We stand above the crowd (We Stand)
We stand above the crowd

(We are the ones) We stand above the crowd
(We get knocked down get back up) We stand above the crowd
(We are the ones) We stand above the crowd
(We get knocked down get back up) We stand above the crowd

We stand above the crowd
We stand above the crowd
We stand above the crowd

[Annadesu]

I was actually thinking of making an AMV with this song... It would be slightly depressing, but that's ok. XD

We Are the Normal ~ The Goo Goo Dolls

It's a beautiful day I heard everybody say
The sun shines down for all of us
Just the same you know I like the rain
That ain't so obvious


It's a beautiful sight I guess everybody's right
This day belongs to all of us
Even still I like with a chill
That ain't so obvious


We are the normal
We live and we die
With no reason why
We are the normal
We live and we die
With no reason why


It's a beautiful life and I've got it in my sights
And that ain't for all of us
It's a beautiful sound
When my life comes crashin down
That ain't so obvious
It's a beautiful sin and I'm doin' it again
And that ain't for all of us
It's a beautiful life and I've got it in my sights
Ain't that so obvious


We are the normal
We live and we die
With no reason why
We are the normal
We live and we die
With no reason why


We are the normal
We live and we die
With no reason why
We are the normal
We live and we die
With no reason why
There's no reason why...


We are the normal
We live and we die
With no reason why
We are the normal
We live and we die
With no reason why

I think 'Believe' by Yellowcard fits 9 exceptionally well, followed by 'Welcome to the Black Parade' by My Chemical Romance and 'Mordred's Lullaby' by Heather Dale.

[infinity]

"The Saltwater Room" by Owl City makes me think of 9 and 7. ^^
That and "Swingset Chain" by Loquat.

Heh, I was actually considering making an AMV of that one when 9 came out on DVD... I have a bunch of scenes planned out already. ^_^

Although I sadly can't think of any songs that remind me of 9 other than that one... I guess I'm not a hardcore fangirl yet... give me a few weeks. XD

[Ozymandias]

The Song "You Know Better than I" by David Campbell always makes me think and wonder if 1 is going to be like this at the end of the movie.

I thought I did what’s right
I thought I had the answers
I thought I chose the surest road
But that road brought me here

So I put up a fight
And told you how to help me
Now just when I have given up
The truth is coming clear

You know better than I
You know the way
I’ve let go the need to know why
For you know better than I

If this has been a test
I cannot see the reason
But maybe knowing I don’t know
Is part of getting through

I try to do what’s best
And faith has made it easy
To see the best thing I can do
Is put my trust in you

For You know better than I
You know the way
I’ve let go the need to know why
For you know better than I

I saw one cloud and thought it was a sky
I saw a bird and thought that I could follow
But it was you who taught that bird
to fly
If I let you reach me will you teach
me

For You know better than I
You know the way
I’ve let go the need to know why
I’ll take what answers you supply
You know better than I

[Starry]

To The Stars by Erin McKeown makes me think of 9 more than anything else on my ipod--here are the lyrics for any interested parties, since it's not a very well-known song:

One part sad and two parts brave
One part silent and one part says
To the stars!

One part black and two parts blue
One part wishes the best for you
One part changed and two parts fine
I'm telling you, I'm fine!

To the stars, to the stars!
Oh, we are lit within
By all we've been
And by all we care to be
To the stars, from the wars!
Oh, we'll wake up a little this morning
A little better than we were before
We were before

One part luster, two parts shy
Heaven's above, trouble behind
One part glory, two parts glow
Shine on, shine well, you're free to go!

To the stars, to the stars!
Oh, we are lit within
By all we've been
And by all we care to be
To the stars, from the wars!
Oh, we'll wake up a little this morning
A little better than we were before
We were before

One part brilliant, two parts fade
Stars apart, shine the same

It makes me think of all the positive things about 9--that these little dolls have all the potential in the world to rise above war and conflict and bring about a better future. All the different "parts" in this song make me think of everything that must have gone into making the stitchpunks. I feel like "To the stars!" makes a good rallying cry. If I had any skill in that department, I'd make this into an amv.

...also, yeah. I'm a folkie. hahaha.
