Songs I listen to while playing Shahrazad

[benevolent]

Basically I'm too lazy/unskilled to make a fanmix. If you were ever curious what works for her or just want some new music recommendations here you go. Note quite of a few of these I found from other Shahrazad players. I marked them with a star.

1. I Miss My Sky by Heather Nova*

The sun so strong and rage so deep.
I keep waking to find I've been dreaming again and the sound of the ocean is not a plane.
And far away they talk about me. In newspaper columns they write about me
Around dinner tables and cocktail parties.
I'm a heroine and a tragic figure.
I'm a heroine as I'm lying here.
Beneath my sky.

2. She is the Sunlight by Trading Yesterday*

And if loving her is is heartache for me,
And hold her means that I have to bleed
Then I am the martyr, love is to blame
Cause she is the healing and I am the pain
She lives in a daydream where I don't belong.
She is the sunlight and the sun is gone.

3. Gravity By Vienna Teng*

Look love they've given up believing.
They've turned aside our stories of the gentle fall.
But don't you believe them.
Don't you drink their poison too.
These are the scars that words have carved on me.

4. Rinbu Revolution/Opening theme to Revolutionary Girl Utena

Though I dream, cry, and get hurt, and reality approaches now, frantically,
I can't lose my place in life and my self-worth just to protect myself.
I'll go my way. No turning back.
Before the time comes for each of us to choose a different path
I'll release the so precious, oh so precious memories.

Take my revolution.

5. Eva By Nightwish

For a memory of one kind word
She would stay among the beasts.
Time for one more daring dream before her escape.
Edenbeam we kill with her own loving heart.
Eva flies away, dreams the world far away.
In this cruel children's game there's no friend to call her name.
The good in her will be my sunflower field.

6. If Everyone Cared by Nickleback

And as we lie beneath the stars we realize how small we are.
If they could love like you and me imagine what the world could be.
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride then we'd see the day when nobody died

7. A Thousand Years by Christina Perri

Time stands still, beauty in all she is.
I will be brave.
I will not let anything take away what's standing in front of me.
Every breath, every hour has come to this.
One step closer.
I have died everyday waiting for you.
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you for a thousand years.
I love you for a thousand more.

8. Only Hope by Mandy Moore/Switchfoot

I give you my destiny.
I'm giving you all of me.
I want your symphony singing in all that I am.
At the top of my lungs I'm giving it back.
So I lay my head back down and I lift my hands and pray to be only yours.
I pray to be only yours.
I pray to be only yours.
I know now you're my only hope.

9. Iris by Goo Goo Dolls

And I'd give up forever to touch you cuz I know that you feel me somehow.
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be and I don't want to go home right now.
And all I can taste is this moment and all I can breathe is your life.
Cuz sooner or later it's over, I just don't want to miss you tonight.
And I don't want the world to see me cuz I don't think that they'd understand.
When everything's made to be broken, I just want you to know who I am.

10. Hero by Nickleback

Someone told me love will all save us.
But how can that be, look what love gave us.
A world full of killing, and blood-spilling
That world never came.
And they say that a hero can save us.
Im not gonna stand here and wait.
I'll hold onto the wings of the eagles.
Watch as they all fly away.
