Express Yourself - Featured Music

Express Yourself is a weekly Meme hosted by my friend Jackie and myself. We do this every week to learn more about our fellow bloggers and so far we have met some very talented and wonderful people!

This weeks question: What Band, Singer, or Group would be featured MOST in your WIP and/or Life?

This is hard because I love a huge variety of music for my writing and even more for my life.

I guess I would pick System of a Down, Toxicity album for my Current WIP Occupiers

And for my for Life it would probably be, aaaaarg, this is so hard to pick one... I should totally cheat and pick a whole bunch of different music that fits my life but I think the Band that fits perfect would be The Beatles. What? Is that too predictable?

Live, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Beastie Boys, CCR, Prince, Nirvana, Aerosmith, Skynyrd, Steve Miller Band... these have also been sketched into lifeline along the way. But the Beatles run in my veins.

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
