Top Ten Tuesday is here! The topic this week is an Audio Freebie. So I’ll use this opportunity to attempt to list out my favorite characters and what I feel could be their theme songs.
I actually am a huge fan of music and tend to listen to music while reading. I also somehow always associating certain songs with stories or characters even. So there will always be a song that will remind me of a book or a character, or I’ll feel like listening to certain songs when reading a book. I guess I take my music seriously!
But I’m determined to have some fun with this one!
Top Ten Tuesday is a Weekly Blog Meme currently hosted over at That Artsy Reader Girl.

Hermione Granger (Harry Potter)
Fight Song – Rachel Platten
Like how a single word
Can make a heart open
I might only have one match
But I can make an explosion
So I saw this one fanmade tribute video to Hermione with this song on Youtube a while ago. And voila! I got introduced to a song that never fails to remind me of my most favorite female character of all time.

Charlie Kelmeckis (The Perks of Being a Wallfower)
Radiohead – Creep
I want you to notice
When I’m not around
You’re so fuckin’ special
I wish I was special
This one’s too easy and obvious for anyone who’s read the book.

Eleanor Oliphant (Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine)
Joni Mitchell – Both Sides Now
I’ve looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down and still somehow
It’s cloud’s illusions I recall
I really don’t know clouds at all
This song gives this feeling of blurred lines between reality and imagination that reminds me a lot about Eleanor.

Rhysand (A Court of Roses and Thorns Series)
Imagine Dragons – Demons
When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide
Don’t get too close
It’s dark inside
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide
Rhys likes to think of himself as a monster and a demon – which he’s not. But this song is perfect for him.

Kate Daniels (Kate Daniels)
Brandi Carlile – Raise Hell
I’ve been down with a broken heart
Since the day I learned to speak
The devil gave me a crooked start
When he gave me crooked feet
Kate Daniels was groomed from her childhood to raise hell.

Lucy Hutton (The Hating Game)
Coldplay – Strawberry Swing
They were sitting
They were talking in the strawberry swing
Every moment was so precious
Strawberries, anyone? This song takes my mind to a happy place, just as the book does. I also think this song could even work as a theme song to Josh & Lucy’s love story.

Froi (Lumatere Chronicles)
Ray Lamontagne – Empty
Will I always feel this way
So empty
So estranged?
Froi struggles a lot with this feeling of emptiness and not belonging to anywhere throughout the series. I listened to it a lot when reading Froi of Exiles.

Sarai (Strange the Dreamer)
Goo Goo Dolls – Iris
And I’d give up forever to touch you
‘Cause I know that you feel me somehow
I think this song perfectly captures Sarai’s longing to be loved and accepted.

Rose Calloway (Calloway Sisters)
Alicia Keys – Girl on Fire
Looks like a girl, but she’s a flame
So bright, she can burn your eyes
Better look the other way
You can try but you’ll never forget her name
She’s on top of the world
Hottest of the hottest girls say
A fiery song for my fiery girl!

Victor Vale (Villains)
Zack Hemsey – Vengeance
Before the fire and stone
Before your world is gone
Have you some patience
Cuz I will have my vengeance
This song just screams Victor Vale! I also feel that the whole vibe of this song goes perfectly well with the series.
