Theme Music

Now that there's a few more people here, and we've zeroed in a bit more on who our characters are going to be, I want to ask you all a bit of a strange question: does your character have a theme song? Something that you associate with how you're going to be playing? Something that just pops into your head whenever you think about your character?

If so, what?

  • This is pretty much on repeat. 

    Space shark, do-doo do-do-do-doo,
    Space shark, do-doo do-do-do-doo,
    Space shark, do-doo do-do-do-doo,
    Space shark!

    Little ship, do-doo do-do-do-doo,
    Little ship, do-doo do-do-do-doo,
    Little ship, do-doo do-do-do-doo,
    Little ship!

    Fly away, do-doo do-do-do-doo,
    Fly away, do-doo do-do-do-doo,
    Fly away, do-doo do-do-do-doo,
    Fly away!

    Docked at last, do-doo do-do-do-doo,
    Docked at last, do-doo do-do-do-doo,
    Docked at last, do-doo do-do-do-doo,
    Docked at last!
  • Take the developer's first space flight video and play it at 2× speed.  Add this song.

    Then imagine that instead of a calm and carefully controlled demonstration, that it's me frantically trying to figure out the space controls while trying desperately to avoid crashing into a planet.

    I think that'll pretty much go for all of us. Craters everywhere.

    Pink Floyd - Money

    Oh, and if hauling freight is as profitable as I hope; Willie Nelson - On the Road Again
  • Take my love, take my land,
    Take me where I cannot stand.
    I don't care, I'm still free,
    You can't take the sky from me. 

    Take me out to the black,
    Tell them I ain't comin back. 
    Burn the land and boil the sea,
    You can't take the sky from me.

    There's no place, I can be,
    Since I've found Serenity. 

    And you can't take the sky from me.
  • For me, it's this.
  • @Oryx is kinda my hero... 
  • As I am a memelord, so must my character be.

  • For all my BEASTly friends, I would recommend this gem. As for me, I'm still searching for the perfect tune for my warrior-poet.

    If I might make a suggestion:
  • When I think of my wealthy Elgan Engineer leaning back on a lush chair, puffing calmly on a delicate pipe as all races approach him to request various services, I hear "Control" by Operators in my head.

    Thank you kindly! I am going to beam it to every Ry'nari ship I am about to blow up, just to make them freak out! However, for my actual theme I will go with this.
  • Space Oddity!

    Space Oddity definitely leads off my list.

    The rest is a mix of GotG soundtracks and the Interstellar soundtrack.

    Dragula by Rob Zombie
  • Less thematic and more just something to bounce in my spaceship to.


  • I'm really bad about picking out a song, so let me make a little mini-soundtrack here.

    "Ain't No Rest For The Wicked" by Cage the Elephant: 

    "Cocaine Trade" by Christian Hansen and the Autistics: 

    "Bust Your Kneecaps" by Pomplamoose: 

    "In Hell I'll Be In Good Company" by The Dead South: 

    "You Gotta Sell Something" by Blair Crimmins and the Hookers: 

    "Everyone Looks Like Everyone" by The Pack A.D.: 

    "Temptation Sensation" by Heinz Kiessling: 

    "The Wondersmith and His Sons" by Astronautalis: 

    "When I Get Low, I Get High" by The Speakeasy Three: 

  • Fashion by David Bowie

    Hope that embed works. Lyrically it's always struck me as very scifi. Also, lyrically, obligatory NSFW warning but it's black/death metal so not very intelligible.
  • My soundtrack will be:
    “Space Truckin” by Deep Purple
    (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VmB1b087qVQ)

    and:

    “Ride On” by AC/DC
    (https://vimeo.com/171244261)

    In equal parts.

    Oh, believe me, AC/DC is going on whenever I start blowing things up.
  • I think I got Groot's theme song: so here it is!
  • As a Fury/meme: 

    For serious: 

    Less directly the lyrics so much as the tone, he's a nice enough dude but very cynical/suspicious of others and wracked by indecision quite a lot, but keeps an upbeat tone all the while.
  • I'm a little late to the party, but here's my theme!

    It just matches the outlook of my character really well.

    Give this a listen.

    I thought this was Groot's theme?

  • This song belongs to the entire Amaian race


  • Playlists for my characters are kinda critical for me in really grasping them. I don't know why. Hides face. But the one song that's at the top right now is:


  • I like to listen to playlists with the terms "ambient space" when I play games like this. It really puts me in a Blade Runner type of mood.
