Do you have any songs for your favorite ships? Or, for that matter, songs for your least favorite ships? Or just character songs in general? What are the lyrics that say ‘yes, this one’ for you?
Me? Whenever I’m writing Gundam Wing I turn on Matchbox 20. I’ve been writing GW to Matchbox 20 since I was 16. (Which means I’ve been writing GW off and on for half my life, damn.)
My go to Duo song is Matchbox 20′s ‘Busted’. Read Like Oxygen and you’ll see that song all over it.
But oh how I want you to know me
Oh how I want you to know me
Oh how I wish I was somebody else, baby
Oh how I wish you could own, own me
Play the first few cords of that song and I have an almost Pavlovian need to write, I swear.
My song for Salt is ‘Bed of Lies’ which has Duo moment and Wufei moments.
Don't think that I can take another empty moment
Don't think that I can fake another hollow smile
It's not enough just to be sorry
Don't think that I could take another talk about it
But don't go weak on me now
I know that it's weak
But God help me I need this
