Music Challenge

This awesome Music Challenge was sparked by Jani @ Life Debatable .

Her request: My challenge to you.  Blog about a song that reflects one of your main character's characteristics.  I want to get to know your MC and what better way than to have some fun with it, right?  Just an fyi, this MC has been the most challenging one I've written to date.  She's a fighter on all levels.  And weird, but good weird. I hope. 

I might be a day late and a buck short but I thought this was a great way to express ONE of my main protagonists or MC's in my WIP.

Reese - Is not your average 18 year old. She harbors her own powers and where does she get her life force from? And how many of them are there? She lives deep in the forest where she senses she's not alone. In fact she can sense more than the average human.

This song only represents Reese in the beginning of her journey, as most, when she evolves, so does her song.

Forest by System of the Down

Walk with me my little child
To the forest of denial
Speak with me, my only mind
Walk with me until the time
Make the forest turn to wine
You take the legend for a fall
You saw the product

CHORUS:
Why can't you see that you are my child
Why don't you know that you are my mind
Tell everyone in the world that I'm you
Take this promise to the end of you

Walk with me my little friend
Take this promise to the end
Speak with me my only mind
Walk with me until the end
Make the forest turn to sand
You take the legend for a fall
You saw the product

CHORUS:
Why can't you see that you are my child
Why don't you know that you are my mind
Tell everyone in the world that I'm you
Take this promise to the end of you

Take this promise for a ride
You saw the forest, now come inside
You took the legend for its fall
You saw the product of it all
No televisions in the air
No circumcisions on the chair
You made the weapons for us all
Just look at us now!

CHORUS:
Why can't you see that you are my child
Why don't you know that you are my mind
Tell everyone in the world that I'm you
Take this promise to the end of you

  2. Danielle, I love System of a Down! Was actually listening to them on the way home, and now the song is playing while I'm typing up this reply. Good song you chose, it conveys a lot.

  3. Thanks girls! I love them too! When I'm writing I lean more towards heavy music then any other. I feel empowered. Jani - That's so funny that you were listening to them. I was jammin to them all day at work!

  4. Aw man! I'm just now hearing about the music challenge. This looks fun! I think I'll do one, too. :-)

    I had to go listen to this song because I didn't recognize it at first. Good song choice!
