I've noticed a couple people doing this, where they put clips of music or songs within their stories here, either to emote a certain mood or emphasize something the writer feels to be poignant. While I'm personally not a big fan of inserting the clips within the story itself, its true that I do find a lot of songs help with inspiration, or help me try to think of the mood or tone that I want to try and emulate. So I guess this thread is where you can put your songs or soundtracks for the stories you happen to be writing, and tell people why they matter and what they mean to your story.
For the Dissidia novelization:
Garland.
This song is sort of why I actually think Garland is something of a tragic character. He's a brave warrior, but somehow, in the very back of his mind, he's afraid of death in spite of his boldness. To avoid the inevitable finality of his life, he jumps into a timewarp, only to find a new problem: what it means to exist perpetually, with no meaning or ability to create anything with his life. Thus, he's faced with two prospective eternities: one being of death, and one being of a life that never seems to matter. This song highlights that lament, of trying to figure out what the point of your life is at the end of it all, and trying to come to grips with, if I might quote Calvin and Hobbes, "The horror of non-being versus the torment of existence."
