I had a thought the other day and wanted to share with everyone: What songs, albums, or media could poetry characters, scenes, or other aspects of Wheel of Time?

I'll go first!

 

Damane: Freak on a Leash - Korn

 

Also for Damane: Pet - A Perfect Circle

 

Semirhage: Reptile - Nine Inch Nails

 

Lews Therin: Diary of a Mad Man

 

I'm sure I'll think of a few more, but I'd love to hear what everyone else is thinking!

I was thinking about the use of music in any upcoming screen version of the series.

 

When the Aiel lift their veils I think some old school techno seems appropriate...maybe The Prodigy?

What about for the Aiel I love You....I'll Kill You by Enigma. Zen Rand at Dragonmount must be Dumond's God Music Cosmic Gate Remix or Hemispheres by John OO Fleming and Solarstone.

Has anyone heard of Blind Guardian? They are a power metal band, and have two songs about the Wheel of Time. One appropriately called "Wheel of time" and one called "Ride Into Obsession." I know that is not exactly what this thread is about, but they are pretty good songs.

yeah, they're pretty good.

Here's another:

 

Graendal: You Give Love a Bad Name

 

 

I know I've been using a lot of the 80s Greatest Hits.  But sometimes, when it applies...

 

This is a more personal thought, but I always imagined what it must be like to embrace Saidar and if I were a man, how to seize Saidin.  These two songs always come to mind when I imagine it:

 

Embracing Saidar/Seizing Saidin: Parabol/Parabola by Tool off their Lateralus Album.  I felt the dual songs (While not equal in time) show an excellent audio example of what I would imagine the experience to be similar to.

 

Also, for Seizing Saidin: Through Fire And Flames - Dragonforce

I think Through the Fire and the Flames would work pretty well for when Rand first starts talking to LLT.

Joy Division Love will Tear us Apart for...?

 

Years for Fears Head over Heels for....?

 

Christine and the Queens Tilted for...?

Brain Damage by Pink Floyd can be used to describe the male chanelers going insane.

So I actually posted in a similar BT thread, but a couple by a band called Beast in Black make me think WoT.

 

They have one called Eternal Fire that lyrically sounds a lot like the One Power being referenced (and also mentioned rebirth and triumph, makes me think of Rand).

 

They also have one called Blood of a Lion about a King reclaiming their crown, which makes me think of the whole Elayne arc.

 

There is also a band called Neverland with a song called Voice Inside I think about Rand/LT.
