Personal FE Playlist Selections

[mark_asphodel]

Kinda based off this meme, as swiped from raphiael and amielleon.  But, as my favorite pairings are, shall we say, not terribly popular, here are some songs from my mental FE soundtrack.

FE8:
"Brothers In Arms" and "Ride Across the River" by Dire Straits.  Both from this album.  I associate them with the knights of Renais.
"Let It All Go" by Mark Knopfler makes me think specifically of Forde. 

FE9/10:
"Rooks" by Shearwater.  Just in general.  

Overall/Mashup:
"Give it Away" by James.
For darkfic purposes, how about "Resignation Superman" by Big Head Todd and the Monsters? I guess it kinda fits best for post FE10 Ike, but I don't spend a great deal of time contemplating him.

FE1/3/11/12:
Oh, hell, we'd be here all night.  I'll just leave you romantics with one for all the characters who get the wrong end of a love triangle in Archanea:
"Long, Long Time" by Linda Rondstadt

Rooks is wonderful. Love it.

Shearwater is an awesome band. :D I am always torn between whether I like their older or newer stuff better, but I think Palo Santo is my favorite album of theirs. Rook is lovely too though. :3

I think as an album, The Golden Archipelago edges out Palo Santo by a hair. I don't care for Rook nearly as much, though it's my husband's favorite. I love some songs on Rook, but I never really WANT to hear "South Col," you know?

I will say this-- I think their upcoming album, which I have heard, is going to be my favorite album of theirs as an album even though I don't love the individual songs quite as much as I love "White Waves" or "Rooks" or "Uniforms," if that makes sense.

I love it that there's a rock band out there still making proper albums, too.
