Music that reminds you of WOT

[HeartsOfWar]

In anticipation of the final book, I've been re-reading the series and sometimes also listening to my music collection (random playback). Oddly enough - Lacuna Coil's "When a Dead Man Walks" starts playing... it was perfect timing, The end of Lord of Chaos when rand explodes out of the chest...

 

here are the lyrics:

 

Paranoia

In which I think that I'm not confident

Blood into my hands, blood into my hands,

Blood in to my hands I can't deny

A buzz into my ears that makes me mad

 

But I don't look back

 

While I'm waiting to die

I don't look back

In a weird lullaby

I'll carry on

 

And the hope in my heart is dry

 

But I don't look back

And I cannot reply

I don't look back

While I'm waiting to lie

I'll carry on

While they want to decide for me

 

Once again, once again

 

Living in their cage, living in their cage,

They are killing me

 

Once again

 

Living in their cage, living in their cage,

They are killing me

 

 

Paranoia

In which I think I'm not that confident

A tiny hope that burns into my breath

A bitter smile delights me at the end

 

But I don't look back

 

While I'm waiting to die

I don't look back

In a weird lullaby

I'll carry on

 

And the hope in my heart is dry

 

But I don't look back

And I cannot reply

I don't look back

While I'm waiting to lie

I'll carry on

While they want to decide for me

 

Once again, once again

 

Living in their cage, living in their cage,

They are killing me

 

Once again

 

Living in their cage, living in their cage,

They are killing me, killing me.

 

But I don't look back

 

While I'm waiting to die

I don't look back

In a weird lullaby

I'll carry on

 

And the hope in my heart is dry

 

But I don't look back

And I cannot reply

I don't look back

While I'm waiting to lie

I'll carry on

While they want to decide for me

 

Once again, once again

 

Living in their cage, living in their cage,

They are killing me

 

Once again

 

Living in their cage, living in their cage,

They are killing me

The Foo Fighters did a song called "Pretender" and the lyrics remind me of Wheel of Time

 

Keep you in the dark

You know they all pretend

Keep you in the dark

And so it all began

 

Send in your skeletons

Sing as their bones come marching in...again

They need you buried deep

The secrets that you keep are at the ready

Are you ready?

I'm finished making sense

Done pleading ignorance

That whole...defense

 

Spinning infinity, boy

The wheel is spinning me

It's never-ending, never-ending

Same old story

 

What if I say I'm not like the others?

What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays

You're the pretender

What if I say I will never surrender?

 

What if I say I'm not like the others?

What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays

You're the pretender

What if I say that I'll never surrender?

 

In time our soul untold

I'm just another soul for sale... oh, well

The page is out of print

We are not permanent

We're temporary, temporary

Same old story

 

What if I say I'm not like the others?

What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays

You're the pretender

What if I say that I'll never surrender?

 

What if I say I'm not like the others?

What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays

You're the pretender

What if I say I will never surrender?

 

 

 

I'm the voice inside your head

You refuse to hear

I'm the face that you have to face

Mirrored in your stare

I'm what's left, I'm what's right

I'm the enemy

I'm the hand that will take you down

Bring you to your knees

 

So who are you?

Yeah, who are you?

Yeah, who are you?

Yeah, who are you?

 

Keep you in the dark

You know they all pretend

 

What if I say I'm not like the others?

What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays

You're the pretender

What if I say that I'll never surrender?

 

What if I say I'm not like the others?

What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays

You're the pretender

What if I say that I'll never surrender?

 

What if I say I'm not like the others?

(Keep you in the dark)

What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays

(You know they all... pretend)

You're the pretender

What if I say I will never surrender?

 

What if I say I'm not like the others?

(Keep you in the dark)

What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays

(You know they all... pretend)

You're the pretender

What if I say I will never surrender?

 

So who are you?

Yeah, who are you?

Yeah, who are you? 

 

 

If you look for them, you could interpret some of the lyrics as referring to Aes Sedai hiding the real truth, Darkfriends being everywhere, Forsaken disguises/alter egos, Rand not being a false Dragon, Rand and Lews Therin sharing their soul, Lews Therin being in Rands head, Rand seeing Moridins face and even Semirhage blowing off Rands hand.

Damn you Dreadlord!! That was my song too - you got there first! I tried to put the chorus as my sig but was told it was too long - oddly enough, seems the 6 line rule doesnt apply to everyone!

 

Anyway, yes that is the best one for me. For me, its Rand to Taim, and later LTT to Rand (I'm the voice that's in your head).

[Ahaz Flagg]

The following song always seems to remind of the 1st two books.

 

Black Sabbath, Black Sabbath

 

What is this that stands before me?

Figure in black which points at me

Turn around quick, and start to run

Find out I'm the chosen one

Oh no

 

Big black shape with eyes of fire

Telling people their desire

Satan's sitting there, he's smiling

Watches those flames get higher and higher

Oh no, no, please God help me

 

Is it the end, my friend?

Satan's coming 'round the bend

people running 'cause they're scared

The people better go and beware

No, no, please, no

[Asmo]

[42Bonzo88]

    "No Quarter" by Led Zeppelin is one to talk about any fighting force but to me it is The Band of the Red Hand.

[SoulCollector]

For me the whole series can be categorized by any of the songs on 'The Black Album" by Metallica.
