[RAFFLE] DAY 3 - ORIGIN THEME SONG - Game Master CJ - May 03 2020
5th Anniversary Raffles
DAY 3 - ORIGIN THEME SONG
Today's raffle entries will be theme songs for ORIGIN, chosen by you (or your characters).
You only need to enter one song, but feel free to add more!
I stole this idea from luca who suggested playlists, hehe. Also added a new prize, which is a GM-rolled alien stone that can be revived without fail.
update: i threw together a playlist and also added some songs of my own (but honestly i could add a million omfg)
>> click for big playlist!!

Prizes: Mutation Slot, Rare Character Slot, 500 Magicka, High Spell Borrow, GM-rolled alien stone, Winner's Choice*
*Winner's Choice can be anything... maybe...
And adding my note here: if we get to the end of the week and we have people that have not won in any of the raffles, I'll roll prizes for those people too. Everyone will win something by the end of the week.

David Bowie's Blackstar and let me TELL YOU WHY
- esoteric and weird
- nobody really knows what it's about
- so many theories, though
- lots of symbols and crazy characters
- outer space?? maybe? also skulls and other wacky symbolism
- it keeps changing tone completely. It's happy and upbeat and then it's ominous and bizarre
- strange potentially-untrustworthy master figures
that is all.

They call that Holy War in Dallas
They send crusaders to reclaim the new Jerusalem
They say the Queen was born of malice
The Queen of Babylon and all her sons ascended to the throne
They cry for Holy War in Dallas
They send crusaders out from Phoenix to Beijing
They're calling "Purify the palace, the streets"
But the temple remains unclean
Yea, the temple remains unclean
because, y'know... them ancients, right? hate us for being furries and birdies. all joking aside, the vibe of this video and the tune hits incredibly well for origin notes, i think! i have a few nice screencaps of shots from this set as my desktop wallpaper uwu

So, so many of Rain World's songs could fit Origin, but for a general theme focusing on Origin's more fantastical side I'm submitting Sundown!

RE: [RAFFLE] DAY 3 - ORIGIN THEME SONG - Damask - May 03 2020
the pit — silversun pickups
i'm marching through the branches in a fit of wanderlust
to see you in a black hole reaching out for something just
silhouettes of neighbors dancing in disgust
i'm sure you recognize my noise and you've heard about the pit
been told to be afraid of everything that lives within
but it's much worse where you are, so will you go for it?
my idea!! i did it! i made it hapen! that was me, guys!

1# bohemian rhapsody (Queen) - changes styles every 3 seconds, who knows wtf its about, idk man, its queen
2# sleepwalk (Forrest Day) - about sleepwalking, but has a general almost mysterious sinister tone to it, like it could be applied to more
3# Who are you, really? (Mikky Ekko) - not even completely sure what its about but has that vibe of "trust no one", distrust within your group of people you know
4# everything moves (Bronze Radio Return) - not sure what its about but has a really adventurous and mysterious vibe to me, upbeat but the lyrics could imply struggle and hardship or a rise to victory
5# Do or Die (thirty seconds to mars) - really hopeful and upbeat, very adventurous and lively and very about themes of achieving your dreams or marching on past hardships (to me atleast)

Idk man it just is don't ask me how gives me Origin vibes sometimes when I give it a listen

'Cause like constellations a million years away
Every good intention, every good intention
Is interpolation, a line we drew in the array
Clinging to the faces, clinging to the shapes in the silence
Like constellations imploding in the night
Everything is turning, everything is turning
And the shapes that you drew may change beneath a different light
And everything you thought you knew will fall apart, but you'll be all right
the oh hellos in general are a big origin vibe-- here's another:
maybe consider our bodies are worth, more than the dust that we can return, to the ground again
also i have to share one of the first songs i ever associated with origin (through fisher)
So come out of your cave walking on your hands
And see the world hanging upside down
You can understand dependence
When you know the maker's land
So make your siren's call
And sing all you want
I will not hear what you have to say
‘Cause I need freedom now
And I need to know how
To live my life as it's meant to be
And I will hold on hope
And I won't let you choke
On the noose around your neck
And I'll find strength in pain
And I will change my ways
I'll know my name as it's called again
but in general i think the best theme for origin is one that doesn't have words.
so let me slap down a jam from one of my favorite instrumental artists
