the first song I can think of is Hozier's In The Woods Somewhere !

That's a good one! He has quite a few songs that fit SSSS' mood, I think

Hello all!

I hope I'm doing this forum thing right! I can see this board might be a tad old, but I have some perfect music that I listen to while reading the comic, and I wanted to share. A couple of months ago, I finished the stellar videogame Rain World (which has some really unique worldbuilding, not too far off from SSSS). The soundtrack for that game was so fantastic I decided to look it up on Spotify, and well, it just fits perfectly for when I want to get in the Stand Still Stay Silent mood. Anyway, here's a link to the official album: https://open.spotify.com/album/2wNHtLdSEyYyyqAHnaQgRy?si=XKd3XvB7SS-RwkOIOSZAMA. Happy listening!

Hello OMCH!

You are doing it right, most of the threads have been started long ago but many have either stayed active ever since or been quiet at times and resurrected at need. So if you have something relevant to contribute, please do so!

We have an Introduction thread, swing by to say hello to other forumites

I found a song that I think could fit well for the next time

Tuuri

and and

Onni

will have to part (if Minna doesn't have a surprise in store for us.) It's called The Road by Faouzia (who is a great singer worth listening to.) The spotify link is https://open.spotify.com/track/1UID3iRWwHeoQJahHBBEWb and I posted the lyrics under a spoiler. This is definitely a more upbeat song, so it doesn't fit perfectly, but it reminded me of those two.

Such a beautiful song!

Let me revive this thread a little, I've been putting together a "moodboard playlist" on Spotify and while I have yet to got through all your suggestions and (add them), here's what I have:
I will try to update this list as I add more and, if possible, include a bit of info for each song with why I think it fits. Comments, linking song to a certain char and other suggestions are most welcome! Song picks by other users will be marked by an asterisk.

SSSS (general and/or unassigned):
Hozier – In The Woods Somewhere (The end of the old world.)
Poets of the Fall – Carnival of Rust (Lyrics not very relevant but the whole grotesque theme of a rusted world reminds me of Silent World’s own overgrown ruins.)
Poets of the Fall – War (Flashbacks of the end of the old world.)
Crystal Castles – Plague (The Rash.)
AURORA – The Seed (The destroyed/abandoned world analogy.)
AURORA – Churchyard (The ghost arc. Ghosts POV?)
Linkin Park – Iridescent (Ghost arc build-up and discoveries made up until the last stand around the car.)
Of Monsters and Men – Wolves Without Teeth (The squad. Maybe too relationship thematic?)
Of Monsters and Men – King And Lionheart (The squad. Standing up to the trouble, together, strong and brave.)

Spoiler: show

* OTTO DIX - Уроды) (Ghosts / Kade (and bears) POV.)

Tuuri:
Labrinth – Don’t Fence Me In (The desire for the world outside.)

Spoiler: show

Lalli:
Woodkid - Run Boy Run (Not entirely sure how to assign this one yet. Has a bit of Lalli’s night scout vibe though.)
Lenny - Hell.o (Coping with hearing the voices of trolls.)
AURORA – Running With The Wolves (Night scout theme? Perhaps a deeper meaning?)

Spoiler: show

Emil:
Hollywood Undead – City (Swedish army cleansers theme.)
Ruben - Walls (Naked Edition) (This song is my personal Lalli&Emil „bonding“ anthem. I originally had it listed for Lalli’s POV, but after carefully re-listenning to the beginning of the lyrics, I think it fits Emil way better.)
Fall Out Boy – Phoenix (Emil’s fight theme, mid-Adventure 1 and later.)
Fall Out Boy – Immortals (Joining the army.)
MOD SUN & Avril Lavigne – Flames (This one is bit of a more personal pick but somehow „I still burn for you“ somehow ticks with Emil for me, So I’m leaving it here, hehe.)
* Артерия - Зажигая пламя (Emil's fight theme when things get dire.)

Sigrun:
Sam Tinnesz & Silverberg - Wolves (Norwegian army troll hunters theme.)
Of Monsters and Men – Hunger (Post-trauma in Adventure 1.)
Sum 41 – War (Post-trauma in Adventure 1, continued.)
Starset - CARNIVORE (Sigrun’s fight theme when things get dire.)
Juliet Simms – Trouble Finds You (One more Sigrun’s fight(ish) theme.)
Avril Lavigne – Warrior (She won’t give up. She will survive. She’s a warrior.)
* Мельница - На север (Norwegian army troll hunters theme 2.)

Mikkel:
Shawn James – Through the Valley (I don’t know. Just listen to it. It ticks with Mikkel, somehow. I think it’s the part „But I said, ‚How can you save the world from itself?‘ “.)
* Imany – You Will Never Know (Sweet but unspoken moments with Sigrun.)

Reynir:
AURORA - Stjernestøv (A song about guiding star and finding your way (home?). I think it's quite fitting.)
AURORA – Apple Tree (He can do better than other expect of him. Let him save the world.)
AURORA – Half The World Away (Running away from home (again?).)
Kerli – Feral Hearts (Visions and dream travel, could also apply for ARTD.)
Guild Wars 2 – Fear Not This Night (Asja Kadric ‘s with vocals, not on Spotify) (Laura Platt’s instrumental piano cover, is on Spotify) (Doggy guiding Reynir and others through dream world. Could also apply for Onni protecting the squad from far away through his spiritual magic.)
Birdy – Light Me Up (He found some special friends.)

Onni:
Kerli – Spirit Animal (Spirit magic and moonchild(owl) thematics. Could also apply for Lalli, Reynir and general ARTD.)
* Пикник - У шамана три руки (Spirit magic, winged mage thematics.)

@Maglor if you have some commentary to the meaning these songs and their lyrics hold, I can add them on the list

On a foreing shores -
Plexus of steel and sky.
In someone's eyes -
Plexus of pain and anger.
Hey-oh! Swirls are cutted open with weaves of wings.
In howl of the winds we heard the songs of the last Valkyries.

The sky is ripped open,
The waves are cutted open with a dragon's maw.
It's light or a wind
That's piercing ringing rigging now.
And the Moon -
I've been waiting for her, and loved her as my bride.
We've no time to sleep:
We're children of gods - our fait is clear.

In our eyes -
Sharp edges of eternal ice.
On our fangs -
Water smells with a fresh blood.
See the blades
Flashing through the moans of ripped night.
A farewell to a life,
That became shortet than a moment.1

Forever chase.
Our faith is to fly over the sea forever.
Pale norns are whispering:
"Take North, you're wearing gray, you're a beasts!"
But when the first sun beam
Slides ower the cold water,
Meet us, our faitfull ones -
We're going home!

We're going home!
We're going home!
Meet your warriors, WODEN!
We're going home!
But on those shores -
Plexus of steel and sky.
In dead's eyes -
Plexus of pain and anger.
Steel and sky. Pain and anger.
Light or wind.
Take North, you're wearing gray, you're a beasts, take North

3. Translation:

The old shaman's got three hands,
Feathered wing springs from his back.
A wax candle flares up
Just from light breeze of his breath.
And sometimes he doesn't know,
Can't remember who he is,
When his sick wide-open soul
Overstrains itself and sings.

The old shaman's got three hands.
World all over's like dark hall.
On the shaky golden palms
Eyes are painted with blue spall.
He sees first pink colored rays
Of the dawn before sunrise,
Yet he seemed to be asleep,
Knowing nil about the skies.

The old shaman's got three hands,
Garden's lit by ruby rays,
From his breath it starts to flare,
Starts to flare up, starts to flare up,
Starts to flare up...

Candle starts to flare up...
Candle starts to flare up...

The old shaman's got...
The old shaman's got...
The old shaman's got...

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.

It's silly, I know.
But, hell yeah, I cannot just unsee the chemistry happening between Mikkel and Sigrun or Lalli and Emil. I try so hard but I can't.

Anyways, it's late and I'm heading to bed now. Good night!

Maglor · « **Reply #295 on:** March 11, 2021, 07:04:15 PM »

Good night.
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)))

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.

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*

Alas, none of the songs I picked myself is intended to imply any sort of relationship except friendship between the chars.

Ah, I love me some SSSS playlists. Here's some suggestions:
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)
Most of the songs are here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1GkZttExQCHxCebTBPDdMU?si=Dq_Mr10xRFmmo4oULX6jRg

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!

Here's my own playlist from which I took the original set of songs: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0p47e7nlcT4RWWCj3egzph?si=i3RTV6ibRFKBthBBJS9-kw
