What instrumental track would play in the background of your character's story during their most meaningful moments?

Alright this took a hot second but I think I've got one for everybody! I'm usually very unreliable when it comes to tag games but I adore instrumental music and I adore putting together playlists for my characters - although I really had to go hunting through my other playlists for these, because as it happened, I didn't have a lot of instrumental music on my playlists for any of my WoLs.
Honestly, most of her most meaningful moments are her fighting somebody. She's technically met 3/3 of her significant romantic interests via trying to kill each other for various reasons. She's a warrior to her core.
I've been really into the CSM soundtrack lately and the theme of emotional damage felt really fitting for him. My little guy is so full of incredible violence, but also so full of feelings. When meeting people, he sometimes gets echo/dynamis premonitions of his emotions about them in the future - and in some cases, that emotion is grief.
I'd be lying if a significant part of the reason this one grabbed me for Kodhi'ra was because the art on the video I had saved was some very cool galaxy stuff (I only used this one because it's higher quality audio). It definitely has that grand cosmic energy, but also a romantic energy, so I felt it fit him and his stars and his great epic romance very well.
T'roha, at her core, is a lover moreso than a fighter; protecting the people she cares about is her entire reason for fighting in the first place. Her most important moments aren't on the battlefield, they're with her family and lovers and friends when she gets a moment to rest.
Bonus: my as-yet-unnamed future Hrothgal
Here's most of what I know about her so far:
She is so, so nervous. All the time.
This is one of my favorite videos of all time (if you're OK with mild flashing lights I highly recommend opening it in full screen). It's a go-to when I feel like I need to hit the reset button on my brain. Something about the combination of tension and what I can only describe as joyful chaos here not only pinged me as a very good fit for her, but also led me to realize something new about her: I think a lot of why she's so anxious all the time is because she's also absolutely brilliant, and her mind is just constantly running on overdrive.
So! Passing this forward: if you would like to do so (absolutely no pressure!) @elizabethrobertajones, @umbralaether, @ofdarklands, @unionizedwizard, @booty-uprooter, @fiddlepies
