Tough question. I'm trying to think of what music it would have as an animated film...
I've also amused myself imagining an appropriate "mix tape" for our team as they head out into the wilderness. I'll put that in another message.
Another song I relate to SSSS is Kent's "Sundance Kid". The emergency siren at the beginning and overall mood of the song are nice with the story, I think.
In the hardened days of yore
when with beer and brawn
the knives of Hallingdale
from their sheats were often drawn
when women to the feast
funeral shirts would bring
with which they would swathe
their dead husbands in
there once took place a wedding
somewhere in Hemsedale4
where song and dance did cease
and the men did ring the vale.
In the center of the floor
framed by shoulder-broad men
two stood with knives unsheated
and a leather belt round them
And like columns carved
unmoving, serene
another four stood
as guardians of the scene
They lift burning torches
toward the blackened beams
where curls of smoke collected
to a dark and brooding stream
In vain two women try
howling, to stem
the living wall of bodies
raised before them
Angrily they’re thrown back
and left to despair
while the fiddler quietly sidles
toward the cellar stair.
Down he goes to tap beer
as the winner of the fight
may have need to kiss
the bowl's rim tonight.
Within the belt they'll duel,
blood running like sap
the vein will need refilling
from the beer casket tap.
Standing in the cellar
he saw a bluish glow
someone sitting on the casket
tuning fiddle, holding bow.
This man held it backwards
tightly to his chest
and as soon as it was tuned
put his fiddle to the test.
There came a song of wonder;
It rang like angry words,
Like steel bite into wood
Like fists rammed into boards.
It jubilantly roamed
Around the darkened cellar hall
And came to a halt
At the sound of a fall
Quietly the fiddler listened
to the mighty flow
It was like the music’s eddies
went down his spine and brow.
He quickly asked the other
“Where did you learn that song?”
The answer: “Don't you mind that,
But remember it – for long!”
But as the man bent down
Reaching for the tap
He saw a horned hoof
against the casket rap
He forgot to tap the beer
And ran up to the hall
Just as the men were lifting
The body from the fall
Fanitullen it is called
This wild and haunting spell
And in Hallingdale they play it
And they play it well
And when its tune is singing
to beer and feast and brawn
again knives of Hallingdale
from their sheats are quickly drawn
I hine hårde dagerDoesn't sound quite so cheery now, does it?
da ved øldrikk og svir
hallingdølens knivblad
satt løst i hans slir, -
da kvinnene til gilde
bar likskjorten med,
hvori de kunne legge
sin husbonde ned;
stod der et bryllup
i Hemsedal etsteds,
hvor lek og dans var tystnet
og karene slo krets.
Ti midt på gulvets tilje
i den mannslagne ring
stod to med dragne kniver
og et belte spent omkring
Og som utskårne støtten
i hvilende ro
står ennu fire karer
i kretsen om de to.
De løfter tyrilysen
mot det sorte bjelketak,
hvor røkens virvler samles
til et rugende lag
Forgjeves tvenne kvinner
med hyl trenger frem
å bryte det faste gjerde
som er stillet foran dem.
De kastes vredt tilbake
av de muskelsterke menn -
og spillemannen rolig
går til kjellertrappen hen.
Nu skal han ned og tappe;
ti den seirende mann
kan saktens vel behøve
å kysse bollens rand.
I beltespenning nappes
de kun med blodets tap;
så må vel åren fylles
fra tønnetutens gap.
Men da han stod i kjell'ren,
han så et blålig skinn
én sitte der på tønnen
og stemme felen sin.
Og karen holdt den omvendt,
tett opp til brystet klemt,
og gav seg til å stryke
så snart han hadde stemt.
Det var et spill som dugde;
det klang som vred manns ord,
som hugg av stålsatt bile
og som neveslag i bord.
Det jublet og det hulket
i den skumle kjellerhall
da slåttens toner endte
med et rungende mannefall.
Taus spillemannen lyttet
til de mektige løp;
det var som spillets virvler
nedad ryggen ham krøp.
Så spurte han den annen:
"Hvor lærte du den slått?"
Han svarte: "Det er det samme,
men minn deg den blott!"
Nu mannen med seg lutet
og etter tappen tok -
da så han hestehoven,
som takt mot tønnen slo.
Han glemte rent å tappe,
han sprang i stuen opp -
der løftet de fra gulvet
den falne mannekropp.
Fanitullen kalles
ennu den ville slått,
og dølene den spiller,
og spiller den godt.
Men lyder de grumme toner
under øldrikk og svir,
da løsner atter kniven
i hallingdølens slir.
Oh, that's nice. I think I'm going to have to check out more of their stuff.

This one I think will be most appropriate at least until the grandeur of setting out passes.

This one will be best when the comic title comes into effect.
This one's good too, but the right mood for it is probably yet to come for a while.

I set out upon that long journey
I walked on lost and restless
Didn't think about anything until the following day.
I chose peace and tranquility.
I am alive, I am alive
I glide above every hardship
I am alive, I am alive
When the winds turn against me
I climb over the high mountains
I am alive, I am alive
I didn't understand about love, which can move everything
Didn't dare to embrace and to simply exist
I felt like I didn't deserve to open up my mind
And let the bright love enter within
I am alive, I am alive
I glide above every hardship
I am alive, I am alive
When the winds turn against me
I climb over the high mountains
I'm alive, I'm alive because of you
And I believe it
Yes I do believe it
Perhaps the wondrous gates of heaven will open
Beautiful love will flood out
to embrace me alone
I'm alive, I'm alive
I glide over every difficulty
I am alive, I am alive
When the winds turn against me
I climb over the high mountains
I am alive, I am alive because of you
I am alive, I am alive, I am alive
After thinking a bit, this is what I would put together if I was in charge of making a soundtrack of SSSS :P
My first idea is that the soundtrack will have a light side (for all the character interaction and humor) and a dark side (for the ... other stuff).
Let's start with the light side; one word: jazz.
Character themes:
Tuuri's theme should something a bit enthusiastic and starry-eye'd, gentle but not too gentle; Out of Nowhere (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlgp4Y64D1I) played by Coleman Hawkins and Django Reinhardt.
Lalli needs something weird and mysterious, an bit velvet like; A Night In Tunisia (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQYXn1DP38s) played by Dizzy Gillespie.
Emil needs something frantic and boisterous, but that also shows his "partnership" with Lalli… so how about a very different version of the same song as Lalli? A Night In Tunisia (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHKyVJ5YfNU) played by the Jazz Messengers.
Sigrun needs something very upbeat, with a military hinge to it, but still with goofiness; Blues March (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOES7AZ-d60) played by the Jazz Messengers.
Mikkel needs something quiet, but ambiguous, which could be seen as both reassuring and threatening; 'Round Midnight (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojtuDUbRoxI) played by Thelonious Monk.
Braidy well, we don't really know him yet, but from all the pictures I imagine something cheery and happy, but rather gentle; Honesuckle Rose (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01eyCD6twDU) played by Thelonious Monk.
Some ambiance tracks:
Such Sweet Thunder (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=McGysWP0Jzo) played by Duke Ellington and his orchestra.
Lil' Darling (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMibKxQWRnw) played by Count Basie and his orchestra.
Stardust (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djTpuq6RruI) played by Lionel Hampton.
Love for Sale (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywhutgpZLVk) played by Miles Davis.
Stabblemates (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yn3L6ikBK9A) played by Benny Golson.
And now there's the dark side of the sountrack, the side of the Silent World, of trolls and giants. Here too, one word: Alien.
As in, the sountrack of the movie Alien, composed by Jerry Goldsmith (if you haven't seen the original Alien, only the action-packed sequels, I really recommend it; it's a really well made sf mystery-thriller, about a bunch of space truckers who stumble upon an unknown planet from which they accidentally bring back something horrible; kind of the fundation of modern sf-horror —and so a distant progenitor of SSSS through Dead Space). Seriously, it fits perfectly.
Main theme:
Dawn (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0tglR4KFgE)
Exploration/travel themes:
Hypersleep (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1sV-E6S7x0)

Hive (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8C4ONi0YOhk)
End Credits (alternate) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-fTc4LZgto)
Suspense/cities themes:

Ash (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6_bovyRrRg)
Motion Tracker (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FygdJkAfMJ4)
Hunted Hunter (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNAO8YGNNuE)
Confrontation (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XC2aD1ibJM0)
Action/monsters themes:
Acid as Blood (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrLfeCmPlYY)
Brett (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jW5o_OZsQl0)
Parker & Lambert (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1EgwIECOq8)

Someone - I think it was origamiowl, suggested the legend of As***aka as a theme. I think that fits perfectly as well. Princess Mononoke, with its angry spirits, shares a certain similarity in feel and sensibility for this setting.
@ Sunflower:
I was going to do some work today. Then your links happened. Then I spent an estimated 3 hours of listening to Muppet music clips. And musical clips. And my whole music librarybecause I'm obsessed and need to find the perfect theme for all characters or I will never rest.
OK, people
I need some honest opinions.
Two days ago I started playing around in GarageBand, when suddenly
Inspiration
I just finished this, and while working with it, all I could think of was vast landscapes with mountains, trees, rivers, lakes, fjords, mist, faint sunshine, snow, and a little moonshine through the darkness. I could also see some trolls and giants and beasts roaming the lands.
I'm just not so sure how well you guys think it fits to SSSS.. I hope it does, because this was so much fun working with and I want to make more(for example cast member themes, even though I only have an exact idea for Sigruns team as I know more about norwegian folk music than anything else) but if it doesn't fit I'd like to know what does so I know where to find inspiration.
So heeeere goes:
SSSS - Prologue (https://soundcloud.com/wildfire-14/ssss-prologue/s-Ltjgh)
Edit: LET ME KNOW if the link doesn't work, I've made the song private because I signed up for SoundCloud only to share this song with you guys, but if it doesn't work I'll make it public and post the new link.
I'm listening to it right now
It's awesome! >w<!
plus, it works for me to be honest
*______*
Thank you! And I'm so glad to hear, that means I might not be WAY off. I'm going to listen to some nordic folk music now, so maybe I get some ideas for the whole cast and not just Sigrun.
Meeeeeep this made me so happyyy~ thank you!

Whoa. Nice. (And it works on android. Double awesome.)
It has begun, my innocent, unexpecting friends.
Ragnarok is here.
And so is Reynir's Theme (https://soundcloud.com/wildfire-14/reynirs-theme/s-jgUqq). After having posted the first attempt on Music in this thread, I felt like doing more because it was fun, and I started working on Reynir's Theme. I tried having it sound like something icelandic folk music-y, but I failed so let's just agree that this song is dedicated to Reynir on Adventure.
I have also made Sigrun's Theme and Lalli's Theme, but I'm not posting the links until I have spoken to my Chosen Victim of Feedback-ing, DancingRanger.
I hope at least some of you like it..
Edit: Also I am SO SORRY for double posting but nothing happened here between my reply to DancingRanger and my New Song. Please forgive me!
Oh wow that theme is so cool!
I love this kind of music to be honest and I don't think you failed! nvn
I'm glad you think so, my friend! It's so nice to hear that my music is welcome!
Here, have a playlist (https://soundcloud.com/wildfire-14/sets/ssss/s-ScXAz), including the now approved themes of Sigrun and Lalli.
I'm currently working on Tuuri's Theme, and will move on to Emil and Mikkel after I've finished Tuuri. I hope that in the meantime, the four songs in the playlist are enjoyable! : )
I loved the Sigrun's theme!
And the mysterious of the Lalli's One too~
I can't Wait to see Tuuri's, Mikkel's and Emil's owo
WOHOO, SUCCESS!
I'll work on it tomorrow. Right now it's 11:34 PM, and I am so tired and my head aches. So I'm going to bed, but I can promise you, when I wake up, I probably will start the day with working on Tuuri's Theme.
Also, I'm so glad you like the songs! : D Then I have entertained at least one person with my "skills".
(...)
Here, have a playlist (https://soundcloud.com/wildfire-14/sets/ssss/s-ScXAz)
(...)
Fast and furious before I go to bed:
Tuuri's Theme (https://soundcloud.com/wildfire-14/tuuris-theme/s-6FBgc), also added to the playlist mentioned earlier:
I wasn't sure about Tuuri's theme at the beginning, because I almost felt it was too plain - but the thought was that it should be lighthearted, enthusiastic and encouraging. Maybe with a hint of naive curiosity - and of course the flute/clarinet-interaction was meant to symbolise her multilingualism, even if I think that might be clearer to me, who made the song and therefore had this exact thought when I composed the two parts, than it might be for you, who probably cannot read my messy mind.
I hope you guys like it nonetheless, and please let me know if there are something you think should be changed. I feel it's far too easy getting away with this. : P
And now, my fellow fans!
Emil's Theme (https://soundcloud.com/wildfire-14/emils-theme/s-JTyYw) - and don't worry, I have plans on making a tribute to his glittering, perfect hair. I swear. It just - didn't happen this time. This time only explosions and watching the fire spread from afar happened. Emil's Theme is also added to the earlier mentioned playlist. : )
Hope you have a great day, people. : )
sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooEnya ! Omnia ! Oh, "Asiling song", I love this one ! *Lot of enthusiasm* :D
I made a Lalli themed playlist

I'm also planning a Reynir one and possiblyy a Sigrun one, it'll be interesting to see if I can actually do that with my tiny music library
Enya ! Omnia ! Oh, "Asiling song", I love this one ! *Lot of enthusiasm* :Dahhh yay I'm glad you like it!! I feel like my music taste fits Lalli pretty well
ahhh yay I'm glad you like it!! I feel like my music taste fits Lalli pretty wellI spent the next hour adding some other possibles titles in my head ^^
I spent the next hour adding some other possibles titles in my head ^^oooooh feel free to post them here??
oooooh feel free to post them here??Because of your "lullabies", and because of the title
Because of your "lullabies", and because of the titleand even if I see something very special on it, Lalli can have it too, Frakkur's Song for the Little Boy : />
Wow! Beautiful but creepy. What or who is Frakkur? YouTube is turning up lots of comments and links about Jónsi -- is he related?I'm in love with Jónsi's work :) Sadly, I discovered his old Frakkur project years after (a few months ago), and had complain about how impossible it was to find all.
i mean it fits lalli better than reynir and sigrun but GUESS WHO MADE REYNIR AND SIGRUN PLAYLISTS ANYWAYSo it ends with a Mélusine dancing alone in her room because it's a reel ! And a chapeloise ! And... (Dont' pay attention, all is all right ...)
So it ends with a Mélusine dancing alone in her room because it's a reel ! And a chapeloise ! And... (Dont' pay attention, all is all right ...)ahaha yayyy
ahaha yayyyBut Sigrun has one. Even if I don't imagine Sigrun dancing. Strangely.
there aren't any reels in Reynir's playlist as far as I know, which is unfortunate considering I named it "Reels for Reynir". ALLITERATION IS HARD YOU GUYS
Huh. I tend to just listen to what I'm listening to, which often means random indie tunes on either Spotify or SomaFM.
That said, I'm currently listening to Värttinä, which seems appropriate.My only problem with Värttinä is the fact a part of my mind will always be wondering if we can dance something on it ^^

And just because water, always water, too much water in the dream world...
[Sæglópur]
^Yessss, that's one of my favorites. I'd never had a good reason to post it before :DHaving stretch of water somewhere is always a good reason, to my mind ^^
Just something a bit more traditional, a tröllaslagur (= troll battle/troll dance) or a rísaslagur (= giant battle/giant dance), simply named as Tröllaslagur. Slagur is a name for a type of a Medieval poem and means either a battle or a dance. They're believed to be meant for dancing to but very few hints remain as to how, although one theory is that slagir were acrobatic/meant to show off the martial art skills of the dancer. Be it this way or that I'm sure it's pretty obvious why I'm thinking this fits well into the SSSS world... :D
Probably not entirely relevant, but possibly the best decision of my life and I must share this.
Go to this video, and mute it.

Sigur Rós matchs so perfectly in the Dream World that it hurts: the entire "Kveikur" album, some tracks from "Takk" (Saeglopur and Hufupukar, somebody?), and Jonsi's solos too.Saeglopur began to play in a corner of my head the first time I saw the Dream World :) The water. Always.

Saeglopur began to play in a corner of my head the first time I saw the Dream World :) The water. Always.
But I love Sigur Rós and Jónsi's songs too much to be perfectly objective.
(Gotta say, Kveikur is my jam. Yes, the whole album.)
I'm listening to a livestream of Sigur Rós right now where they're playing their older, more ambient stuff and I've decided that their whole aesthetic/sound is just dream-y :)
where????
It is onyric all the way!
Well, it was here (http://agaetis.sigur-ros.co.uk/stream/), but it ended a while ago :P
(and you just taught me a new word!)
Buhuhuhuhu, someday I'll catch them, I swear!
(I put onyric right? I never get to use it in Spanish, an I'd never used it in English before, I'm not even sure it's used like that haha)
Bit of a bump but eh
Too industtrial? Idk (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixA_fC-cLzQ)
This one I have been trying to find for the past two years! Thank you!!!Had you heard but forgotten the name? Either way, you're welcome!
I once had the song a CD (ages ago) that was burned for me.It's from Further Down The Spiral (a NIN remix album) but it's actually an original composition rather than a remix.
It may have once had a label, but it didn't last long.
So I never really knew the name of the song or who had done it. It was very NIN like, but no guarantees.
As next chapter seems to be Lalli on scouting, for me Lallis scouting missions bring up the older Apocalyptica as a background.

Does anyone know 1+ songs that would fit reynir?
help me please
Because I saw it a few days ago, I feel too many anger inside for Reynir...
^ how's this? Personally I think the song is a bit too loud for Reynir, but I like the lyrics.
ahhh yay I'm glad you like it!! I feel like my music taste fits Lalli pretty well

Have no fear, guys.Thank Dane, I remembered I could find it myself in the forum only when I was outside.
For Dane Is here to save the day!
Haiz made a playlist for him, months ago. Haiiiiiiiz ?OH HAHA WOOPS forgot to check this thread, thanks Dane!
Thank you, Haiz!oh, thanks I guess! I had already posted them on my tumblr but I do not say no to more exposure ahaha
I took these playlists on Tumblr =)
I'm a relatively new reader (I read the beginning of the prologue shortly after the comic started though, and decided to not follow along right away but to revisit the comic later).
I'm in Chapter Four right now, and have been listening to The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensembles All is One and The Mount Fuji Doomjazz Corporations Doomjazz Future Corpses! (it is almost the same band, only different aliases) for the last roughly two hours. I find it fits the comic very well.
1) Their bandcamp page seems to have paid its debt to nature. I added a soundcloud link but I can not guarantee for it (could not try since soundcloud does not like me).Oooh, that reminded me of a song I heard some years ago by a band called Bohren and der club of gore which is also a "darkjazz" band I think. I want to check out that genre again now.
Here is some (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g77zujZVnuU) more (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BV3ooy_SYl0) from them, from different albums though.
2) I may do it at another time. It is past midnight here.
Has it been discussed what music would fit any character's personality? I mean, what music would Lalli like if he had access to our contemporary music archives? And Tuuri? Mikkel? Everybody?Six characters, two mentions of Sigur Rós... ::)
Six characters, two mentions of Sigur Rós... ::)
When one of my friends began to read, she told me she "had" to listen to their music while reading ^^
My friend shared this with me this evening. I think it fits Emil very well. (Actually, from 0:50)Song accepted for me :) We don't have enough for Emil. And Mikkel. And Tuuri.

Antillanka, thanks for Sigur Rós! Really liked it!*Calls Piney, Vi, KauniitaUnia, Yuuago and the others Sigur Rós music's lovers* We may have an other fan here ! :D

waahhhh this soundtrack is so pretty, I've been listening to it on repeat for like an hour while drawing, so mysterious<3
getting a strong dreamworld-vibe from this, especially the beginning
Oh, I'm glad you like it! :D And I'm not alone at listening favourite music on repeat while drawing!
Oohh yeah, sometimes when I draw for several hours, I listen to the same 1-3 songs on repeat the whole time :D helps to keep the atmosphere, like, if you're drawing something mysterious and cool then you gotta listen to something that gives similar vibes

For the ambiance, I guessing the whole soundtrack of Banner Saga (https://youtu.be/53xt9f_Y0rs?list=PL1Uj0cNo6vn3fV7TP6cfwF-IyPGYEYWbe) is just downright awesome.I just knew someone had to have beaten me to the punch on that one. It really is perfect in a lot of ways, though.
Okay so someone sooner or later MUST do a choreography to Two Steps From Hell's Cannon in D Minor (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKmw9oS__MM).
I'm clearly very very far from being some kind of warrior partier viking, but even I have a hard time restraining myself from blasting this on full volume, grabbing all nearby persons and hallingdansing around the room in a very epic fashion. (despite knowing perfectly nothing of hallingdans save for its name and that it is some kind of nordic folk dance)
I know it's likely been posted already, but has anyone suggested "sound of silence" by Simon and Garfunkel?Someone (not sure who :( )actually made a music video of it ^-^
I feel it would really fit well with the gloomy atmosphere of a world empty and in ruins.
Someone (not sure who :( )actually made a music video of it ^-^Haaaaah, yaaaay!!! :D So glad someone did that!
Someone (not sure who :( )actually made a music video of it ^-^That's pretty impressive. Another song that fits well is "Comfortably Numb" by Pink Floyd: gives a slightly spooky, forgotten and desolate feeling.
I'm not sure why, but that song makeeven with the "Welcome Home" lyrics, which don't really fit.
Sorry that's probably super incoherent, I haven't really slept in three days except for little sporadic cat naps due to scrambling to finish a term paper on time :cNo, it's okay! I think I understood what you meant!
Radiohead always came to mind during the prologue, especially the Sweden scene.The visions of the dead city and the tall dead guys make em automatically remember "How to disappear completely"... Good choice.
...
This one really felt like a desolate, scary, snowy scene filled with the anxiety of a crumbling civilization.
Demon-Something: Yes! The prologue made me think of Radiohead as well.Going back to the Cat-tank after a busy autumn evening... fits perfectly ^^
I'm not sure why, but that song makes me think of a journey through lost worlds...
Also, this song:
...
This just seems to remind me of Stand Still, Stay Silent... even with the "Welcome Home" lyrics, which don't really fit.

So Woodkid made the soundtrack for the movie Desierto, and this song just makes me think of SSSS. Well Woodkid in general does, but this especially.
and I told myself I wouldn't put Emil/Lalli stuff on here. I have caved. It is too perfect.
*runs and hides*
A really good song about magic that lately has been making me think of the mages, especially because this rad fan-made music video is about a rad powerful magical dude helping guide a disgruntled dangerous spirit over to the next world.
I think this song fits like a glove a certain ship you'll all recognize (quite respecting Minna's not-so-clear no-ship spirit, too), but I'm not that certain on who sings it to whom. Opinions?*slams fist on table* This is clearly an Emilalli song, and Lalli sings it. *nods*
*slams fist on table* This is clearly an Emilalli song, and Lalli sings it. *nods*
The vocals actually sound a LOT like my headcanon voice for Lalli. :3
*slams fists on table* Haha, I love your enthusiasm! The thing with this song is that it could be both, Emil speaking softly to avoid annoying Lalli, or Lalli studying the things Emil does at home... I think. Maybe.Hmm, good point. But I think there are a few things that are just very Lalli-ish:
And when I sleep on your couch I feel very safe
And when you bring the blankets I cover up my face
And I would say I love you, but saying it out loud is hard
So I won't say it at all
And I won't stay very long
But you are the life I needed all along

I think that all three albums by the Fleet Foxes work wonderfullyAh man, I haven't listened to or thought about Fleet Foxes in years, but now that you mention it, they'd go pretty well. I mean, White Winter Hymnal? That'd be great.

*goes off to listen to Fleet Foxes*
Anyway, this is a song called "Sleepyhead" in which the first verse talks about fire and burning, guess what pairing this made me think of.Huh, I never connected that with Emilalli but it definitely fits!
Not sure what thread to post it in, I wrote a Lalli-themed parody of the song 'Price tag' by Jessie J (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VsjFVlQ664).That would probably be best shared in the Poetry Collection (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=4.0) thread.Spoiler: For the song click here • show

When you realise you are not alone.First of all, yes. This needed to be here.
When you realise you are not alone.
I have found so much great music on this thread. I actually started a Spotify playlist for SSSS right as I started reading, so that I could feel "immersed" I suppose. It's pretty strongly inspired by this thread and Nordic folk music generally. You can see it here if you have Spotify (it's giaaaant be warned):THANK YOU, I've been wanting to make a SSSS spotify playlist for forever now, but have been extremely intimidated at the prospect. Now I don't have to! :D

And so I can contribute- I just adore the band Frigg. They're a (mostly) Finnish (mostly) traditional strings group, and I think a lot of their music fits SSSS. They can do intense upbeat music like this:
Or more somber, thoughtful music like this:
This song may just work soon enough, considering how our crew is planning a return trip and some current issues:Never heard of this game before now, but I have a feeling I want the soundtrack already. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. :D
I was just wondering what kind of music, if any, you guys listened to while reading the comic. I know I love to listen to specific kinds of music, or even specific songs while reading things, and I was curious if anyone else here did that too! And if you don't, then what kind of music do you think fits the comic thus far? You can post songs you think go along with specific chapters or pages.
Heyo! I made this piece for the Tuuri's last scene:

A Forest is clearly about a scout being lured into the forests of Finland by a Hiisi
For those who wanted to have the music Minna played during her stream yesterday: I made a list! Well, two, b/c there was a limit of 15 songs per list.
Here you go:
Part one (https://playmoss.com/en/talimee/playlist/stand-still-stay-silent-streaming-list)
Part two (https://playmoss.com/en/talimee/playlist/stand-still-stay-silent-streaming-list-part-2)
For some reason, I kept thinking Loreena McKennitt. I have no idea why. >_<
the first song I can think of is Hozier's In The Woods Somewhere (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlfCfEfbO48) !That's a good one! He has quite a few songs that fit SSSS' mood, I think
1st song. It's just about chorus. FA-A-AYA-A-AH~The songs have been added. :) As for Mikkel and Sigrun, oh yes, the chemistry between the two is basically dripping. In my own choices I tried to avoid the ships a little (but I could not entirely, hah). Until a few years ago I was growing up as a hard-core shipper, so I fear I might be a little overly sensitive to sparks between chars and I don't wanna push my ships onto people. :D It's silly, I know.

5. Translation is in the video. Plus it could be ANY song of Otto Dix, just because of this eery sound
Good night.Aaaand that's exactly what I'm talking about. (And also the reason why I prefer to not express my views on it. Ship clashes can be disastrous. I've seen way too many fandom wars start with "Your ship is wrong / nonexistent"...) If I want to, I see way too many hints, as small as they could be. That's why do not actively follow any of the pairings. :V But if I had to pick, these two pairs would be it. They can just as well be best buddies who trust each other. The kind of best buddies that would even help you hide a body. (Though they might be the reason why you have a body to hide in the first place.) *shrug*
I don't think Lalli and Emil are a slash material. There's also a thing called bromace, y'know?)
As for Sigrun/Mikkel... it's like Motoko/Batou, IYKWIM. Chemistry isn't really shown beacause both of them are way too discreet. And still you can see it (or just imagine it by being a hardcore shipper)))
Ah, I love me some SSSS playlists. Here's some suggestions:Great picks! I will mark them down ad add them on the playlist as soon as possible. ^-^ Tbh I've had my eyes on Mountain Sound and Wolf as well, I must have forgotten to add them in the end. So thanks for the enlightment! ;D
gone - ionna gika (creepy song, first spread of rash and the quiet that came after)
the curse - agnes obel (rash creeping in again, first mages are born)
bones - ms mr (souls getting lost)
wolf - first aid kit (not sure but it fits, methinks)
land of the bears - cecile corbel (exploring the silent world)
mountain sound - of monsters and men (the gang, just vibin')
bioluminescence of the night - james horner (instrumental)
