DPP: A song will outlive all sermons

[howlinchickhowl.livejournal.com]

Howdy :)

So yesterday was fun, we talked about our favourite UFT's and by the way, if any of you missed the latter portion of the discussion which was directed mainly by nazkey , amaliak , and pali167  you should go check it out, it is FASS-TASTIC!


Today we're gonna talk a little bit about music, even though I'm certain that it's has been done before. It strikes me that pilots fandom is relatively short on song-fics, where most fandoms feed on them. And ok, I'm not the world's biggest fan of song-fics, my experience of them is that they are often clumsy and made lazy by virtue of being able to rely on lyrics to say what you want to without having to think of how you word it for yourself. I am however, interested in fic inspired by music, that doesn't necessarily use the song as part of the story.

Now, I know a lot of you guys are really into poetry and have written many wonderful fics inspired by/based around poetry. But what about songs?

Do you guys have favourite pilots songs? Have you written fics that were inspired by particular pieces of music/songs? Have you written actual song-fics? Does anyone have songs that they wish someone would write pilots fic based around? It's a musical free for all!

And to get you started, here are a few songs that make me think of pilots.


By the way, they're slightly abstract occasionally in their pilots-affiliation, I can't tell you exactly why all of them work for me.

The Moth - By Aimee Mann

4am - By Cherry Ghost

Don't Leave - By Faithless

Painted on my heart - By The Cult:

And this one, which I think might be kind of a fun AU if someone wants to play,

Whiskey in Mind - By Christian Kane

Everyone feel free to jump in with your songs, fic-recs, prompts or just general feelings. Or, if you feel like it, gifs of hot men being hot, because that's allowed too :)

Hee! Snap :)

Man that soundtrack was awesome, I haven't listened to it in aaaaaages. There was one summer, my family went on holiday in this rickety old van that had a tape player, and we had two tapes, one of them was half the 10 things soundtrack and half the Dawson's Creek soundtrack, and the other one was The Wedding Singer and The Craft. It was AWESOME. Except we were there for three weeks and only had two tapes, so it got old.

P.S. Your knowledge of Sister Hazel songs is a leetle more advanced than mine, I never knew album titles or anything, just random songs. Random songs that I am compiling a list of now :D

EEeeeee! The Craft! I both loved and was terrified of that movie when I was younger :D

OH my GOD it was freaky! The thing with all the snakes!? Plus, Fairuza Balk just automatically ups the freaky quotient of a movie simply by being in it. It was awesome though :)
