Play List – Songs by Chapter 11-15
"How Could that Bracelet be a Weapon?" – Starset – It has Begun cover by Daniel Grimsby
I love the original song, but, in this case, I think that the music is too chaotic for what the scene in the chapter portraits. In this scene, Coulson and Fury are still trying to keep the Girl hidden so the conversation and the setting in this chapter is a very hush-hush quiet kind of thing. In this case, the loud repercussion of the instruments in the original song wouldn't fit in the scene. That's the reason why I chose an acoustic piano and guitar cover of the song.
I'm of an opinion that there are a lot of very talented people on Youtube who need recognition. This is my little contribution to that. Kurt Hugo Schneider is a music video producer, director, and artist that works with other Youtube artists. His Youtube channel features a lot of different artists.
Anyway, the lyrics of the song fit into the scene "lost heroes," "fairytales," "face the odds against us," "into the dark below," "blind in a rabit's hole," "embracing its starlit fate as we wait in the night," can all serve as references for the Girl and previous chapters events.
Where the lost are the heroes
But everyone knows by now
Fairytales are not found
They're written in the walls
But nothing could ever stop us
From stealing our own place in the sun
We will face the odds against us
And run into the fear we run from
It has begun
Into the dark below
Evading shadows
Blind in a rabbit's hole
We fall beneath the earth
And watch the shell come unraveled
As the seed begins to rise
Embracing its starlit fate as we wait in the night
"I feel like I just Stepped into a Terminator Movie." – The Rigs – Devil's Playground
Later in the story, one of the characters refers to Seraphine as the little devil and the devil spawn. I think that some of the lyrics could apply to when Fury is summoning Seraphine, and he is trying to convince her to help him capture Loki and recover the Tesseract.
Come, if you're curious to see
Pull the tricks out of my sleeve
Brave, are you brave enough to meet
The desires that you seek
.
Welcome to the devil's playground
You can tread where demons play
It's your Candyland where dreamers dance
And I promise that it's safe
Technopath – Radioactive – Lindsey Stirling and Pentatonix (Imagine Dragons Cover)
The lyrics can serve as a reference to Seraphine, her powers, she "waking up" in a "new age," and Fury wanting her help to stop a possible "apocalypse."
I'm waking up to ash and dust
.
I'm breaking in, shaping up, then checking out on the prison bus
This is it, the apocalypse
.
I'm waking up
Enough to make my systems blow
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
.
All systems go
"My name is Seraphine." – Daft Punk – Recognizer
This is one of the tracks from the movie Tron Legacy. When I hear the beat of the music in this composition, I think about Seraphine. I'm adding this song to this chapter because this is where she uses her technophatic abilities and tell Fury her name.
Chaos – Fall out Boys – Young and Menace, "Shoot to Kill" (Feat. QUIVR) / Produced by Tommee Profitt
"Young and Menace" it's another song that makes me think about Seraphine. The beat of the music and the lyrics of the song fit into the chaotic setting of the chapter.
Oops I, did it again, I
Forgot what I was losing my mind about
I only wrote this down to make you press rewind
And send a message, "I was young and a menace"
.
Young and a menace
.
Woke up on the wrong side of reality
And there's a madness that's just coursing right through me
And as far as the time, far as the time
Not sure I'm there yet but I'm searching out the ride, yeah
.
If I am off the deep end
I'm just here to become the best yet
"Shoot to Kill" would fit in the part of the chapter where Seraphine asked Fury why he order the creation of weapons powered by the Tesseract, and he is thinking about some of the dark secrets Seraphine could had discovered when she got into Shield's files.
Blood on our hands
There's no telling what you'll find
In the shadows where we hide
Once you've seen it
There's no going back in time
It's a darkness you can't fight
.
We shoot to kill
Aim for the heart
Live for the thrill
We shoot to kill
.
We've got secrets
Buried deep inside these walls
But you'll never hear them talk
Foreshadowing of Events – Songs Seraphine was playing through the Helicarrier's speakers
Maroon 5 - Animals – It applies to a scene involving Osiris and Isis that happens later in the story.
Baby I'm preying on you tonight
Hunt you down eat you alive
Just like animals
.
Maybe you think that you can hide
I can smell your scent for miles
.
Yeah you can start over you can run free
You can find other fish in the sea
You can pretend it's meant to be
But you can't stay away from me
Katy Perry – Dark Horse ft. Juicy J – This one refers to Isis warning one of the men on what a relationship with her would be like. It can also apply to Seth and Isis during the first stages of their relationship after Osiris died.
I knew you were
You were gonna come to me
And here you are
But you better choose carefully
'Cause I'm capable of anything
Of anything and everything
So you wanna play with magic
Boy, you should know whatcha falling for
Baby do you dare to do this
'Cause I'm coming atcha like a dark horse
.
Are you ready for, ready for
A perfect storm, a perfect storm
'Cause once you're mine, once you're mine
There's no going back
.
Her love is like a drug
I was trying to hit it and quit it
But lil' mama so dope
I messed around and got addicted
.
Katy Perry – Rise – It applies to Isis throughout the whole series.
I won't just survive
Oh, you will see me thrive
Can't write my story
I'm beyond the archetype
I won't just conform
No matter how you shake my core
'Cause my roots, they run deep, oh
.
Oh, ye of so little faith
Don't doubt it, don't doubt it
Victory is in my veins
I know it, I know it
And I will not negotiate
I'll fight it, I'll fight it
I will transform
.
When, when the fire's at my feet again
And the vultures all start circling
They're whispering, "You're out of time,"
But still I rise
Author's Notes:
I'm still working on the next chapter. It's going to be posted sometime next week.
