Why didn’t I ask you guys sooner!!!! The good thing is I have only heard of about 10% of these, so there may be a chance some of them work!!!! Yippy! I shall listen though them while I clean the house later today. Thank you all so much!!!!!!!

@mineralizedwritings

wow! I love that one in the frame!!

@rae

Actually I thought it did kinda look like you!

I like the one of the little girl too!!!

@ellette-giselle

*pulls out binder* Okay, here goes!

First off, Same Same Stars, like mentioned above. This song makes my dad cry

Who Wants to Live Forever  -Postmodern Jukebox cover (It’s West Side Story style which I’ve never seen XD and the singer has an incredible voice. I love this song)

They Can’t Take That Away From Me  -Ella Fi…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

If I find anymore, I’ll let you know. Idk if any of these are what you’re looking for, and they all have very different vibes.

1. Pieces by Rob Thomas
2. Message in a Bottle by Livingston
3. The Last Goodbye, an end credit song from The Hobbit

Yes, I know the last one you probably read and doubted me, but hearing the lyrics, I…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Same Same Stars by Sleepy Man Banjo Boys would be perfect for that! I have more too, (you aren’t the only one with a tragic couple XD) but I haven’t eaten dinner yet. I’ll send them later.

@elishavet-pidyon

yes pls do I will give it a read through even if I never have the chance to use it lol

XD I get it, a lot of other people who are unfamiliar mistake him as a girl too. Most anime girls in this game genre are over the top feminine, with curly hair down to their legs, dresses and heels. So that’s why I can always tell.

Oh yeah…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Never Love an Anchor – The Crane Wives

I think this one fits what you described best maybe but also I will share some bonus songs.

Eleanor – Samuel Lim

you would love it here – quiet thrill, Joel Ansett

Pull – Joel Ansett

Honeybee – Steam Powered Giraffe

Hope at least one of those are helpful:]

@keilah-h

well not cool for the character that dies but still lol

Not entirely sure why this was so funny to me, but congratulations on making me snort-laugh.

Nobody try to assassinate me please, but I think I might have just maybe reconfigured a certain sci-fi book out of YA and into upper middle-grade/young youth and it is so beautiful now and everything works so shockingly well I might be replotting the whole thing. Maybe. If I go with it.

It is really beautiful.

*Hysterical laughter*

But I also…[Read more]

Huntress

Gabriel fought with the creature for a minute as I tried my best to avoid being struck by them both.

It was clear that we were at a distinct disadvantage–it could sense us through the fog, whether it was using sight, or hearing, or something else weird like infrared sense.

“You said we gotta go for the tail?” I asked.

Gabriel…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle cool!!

well not cool for the character that dies but still lol

@elishavet-pidyon

Ah. I see it is not about dying early though. Hmm.

Pioneers by 4 King and Country? It’s not tragic though it’s about facing the estrangements of time. My family loves it.

Other folkies probably have more fitting suggestions. I’ll keep on the look out, though.

@ellette-giselle

If one dies, I say See You Again by Grey Havens. It’s a theme for several relationships in my books. Deeply comforting, focusing on the the “there wasn’t time for etc.” regret. I personally love the Autumn Sessions version, but there’s not really a difference.

Not entirely tragic, but absolutely possibly applicable, is Carry…[Read more]

@keilah-h

thanks!! They are actually side characters. My MC is as intriguing as it gets. XD

@loopylin  @rae

on the flip side, they are your classic sweet, shy, sentimental type couple, so even a song that would fit them that way could work.

@ellette-giselle ooooo that sounds like an intriguing story!

@loopylin  @rae

Well, he ends up in the Nazi S.S. through some bad choices in his younger days, then has his salvation arch and finds out that his childhood sweetheart is Jewish. So he loves her but can’t marry her… and then he has to leave. So tragic and sad and separated and even him dying sort of song would fit.

as for the type of…[Read more]

@mineralizedwritings

I think I do have your email! I’ll hunt down the doc and send it then. XD Old etiquette is interesting.

I wasn’t sure which so went with the first impression. XD Makes sense though. He didn’t look entirely feminine, but I am unfamiliar with anime. I can tell with elves/LotR because of exposure to Saxon culture, but outside…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon

It was a great experience! Nothing like sharing nerdy information with people and convincing them to like it. I was thrilled to have fairly accurate materials on hand.

I could send you the notes if you’re ever hit with a desire to read about old postal service quirks and letter writing etiquette. XD

XD yeah go ahead! Idk if I…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

I might be able to help kinda. I second Loopy’s question about what kind of tragic, and also, what type of music? More gentle (piano, violin, gentle guitar vibes) or upbeat (pop type I guess? Idk, steady, catchy beat.)
