Sandor's Theme Song (possible spoilers)


romantic

Recommended Posts

Oh no. I'm going 80s again but it is Meatloaf!!!

"I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)"

And I would do anything for love

I'd run right into hell and back

I would do anything for love

I'd never lie to you
and that's a fact

But I'll never forget the way you feel right now,

Oh no, no way

And I would do anything for love, but I won't do that

No, I won't do that

Anything for love

Oh, I would do anything for love

I would do anything for love, but I won't do that

No, I won't do that

Some days it don't come easy

Some days it don't come hard

Some days it don't come at all, and these are the days that never end

Some nights you're
breathing fire

Some nights you're
carved in ice
(Stark reference?)

Some nights you're like nothing I've ever seen before or will again

Maybe I'm crazy, but it's crazy and it's true

I know you can save me, no-one else can save me now but you

As long as the planets are turning

As long as the
stars are burning
(fire reference - you know you love them)

As long dreams are coming true

You'd better believe it, that I would do

Anything for love

And I'l be there until the final act

I would do anything for love, and I'll take a vow and seal a pact

But I'll never forgive myself if we don't go all the way, tonight

I would do anything for love

Oh, I would do anything for love

Oh, I would do anything for love, but I won't do that

No, I won't do that

I would do anything for love

Anything you've been dreaming of, but I just won't do that

I would do anything for love

Anything you've been dreaming of, but I just won't do that

I would do anything for love

Anything you've been dreaming of, but I just won't do that

I would do anything for love

Anything you've been dreaming of, but I just won't do that

Some days I pray for silence

Some days I pray for soul

Some days I just pray to the god of sex and drums and rock 'n' roll

Some nights I lose the feeling

Some nights I lose control

Some nights I just lose it all when I watch you dance and the thunder rolls

Maybe I'm lonely, that's all I'm qualified to be

That's just one and only, the one and only promise I can keep

As long as the wheels are turning

As long as the
fires are burning

As long as your prayers are coming true

You'd better believe it, that I would do

Anything for love

And you know it's true and that's a fact

I would do anything for love, and there'll never be no turning back

But I'll never do it better than I do it with you. So long, so long

I would do anything for love

Oh, I would do anything for love

Oh, I would do anything for love, but I won't do that

No, I won't do that

No, no, no, I won't do...

I would do anything for love

Anything you've been dreaming of, but I just won't do that

I would do anything for love

Anything you've been dreaming of, but I just won't do that

I would do anything for love

Anything you've been dreaming of, but I just won't do that

I would do anything for love

Anything you've been dreaming of, but I just won't do that

I would do anything for love

Anything you've been dreaming of, but I just won't do that

I would do anything for love

Anything you've been dreaming of, but I just won't do that

I would do anything for love

Anything you've been dreaming of, but I just won't do...

But I'll never stop dreaming of you ev'ry night of my life, no way

I would do anything for love

Oh, I would do anything for love

I would do anything for love, but I won't do that

No, I won't do that

[Girl:]

Will you raise me up? will you help me down?

Will you get me right out of this godforsaken town?
(King's Landing?)

Will you make it all a little less cold?

[boy:]

I can do that

I can do that

[Girl:]

Will you hold me sacred? Will you hold me tight?

Can you colourise my life, I'm so sick of black and white?

Can you make it all a little less old?

[boy:]

I can do that

Oh no, I can do that

[Girl:]

Will you make me some magic with your own two hands?

Will you build and emerald city with these grains of sand?

Can you give me something I can take home?

[boy:]

I can do that

I can do that

[Girl:]

Will you cater to every fantasy I got?

Will you hose me down with holy water, if I get too hot?

Will you take me places I've never known?
(anywhere but King's Landing)

[boy:]

I can do that

Oh no, I can do that

[Girl:]

After a while you'll forget everything

It was a brief interlude and a midsummer night's fling

And you'll see that it's time to move on

[boy:]

I won't do that

I won't do that

[Girl:]

I know the territory, I've been around

It'll all turn to dust and we'll all fall down

Sooner or later you'll be screwing around

[boy:]

I won't do that

No, I won't do that

Anything for love

Oh, I would do anything for love

I would do anything for love, but I won't do that

No, I won't do that

A song with a relevant title as well as appropriate lyrics (from the legendary Johnny Cash in 1968 no less)-

Ring of Fire

Poor Sandor - Love hurts

Johnny Cash is the man, so I guess I'm aging myself as well. The man in black with a very sexy voice. This is the perfect Sandor song.

Hehe, oh man, just stumbled up this thread--and it just cracks me up.

Hmmm, I can't say I can really think of one--maybe something in lieu of maybe Led Zeppelin, calming but also a bit eerie. Hmm.

As a general rule, there's a Zeppelin song that's appropriate for any occasion. Post GOT, I associated Sandor with Achilles Last Stand. The song isn't actually about the Greek myth, but more a song about yearning for something (and literally wandering around the lands). He seeks paths, direction from "above," memories of a woman, finding his way....it even mentions birds taking flight- it's almost too perfect, really. But the words almost don't even matter-- it sounds completely right-- go to 3:40 and tell me you won't hear this playing during Sandor's heroic denouement.

This could be about Sandor or almost any other warrior

Blue Oyster Cult Veteran Of The Psychic Wars Lyrics

Send "Veteran Of The Psychic Wars" Ringtone to your Cell

You see me now a veteran of a thousand psychic wars

I've been living on the edge so long

Where the winds of limbo roar

And I'm young enough to look at

And far too old to see

All the scars are on the inside

I'm not sure if there's anything left of me

Don't let these shakes go on

It's time we had a break from it

It's time we had some leave

We've been living in the flames

We've been eating up our brains

Oh, please don't let theses shakes go on

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/b/blue+oyster+cult/veteran+of+the+psychic+wars_20020521.html ]

You ask me why I'm weary, why I can't speak to you

You blame me for my silence

Say it's time I changed and grew

But the war's still going on dear

And there's no end that I know

And I can't say if we're ever...

I can't say if we're ever gonna to be free

Don't let these shakes go on

It's time we had a break from it

It's time we had some leave

We've been living in the flames

We've been eating out our brains

Oh, please don't let theses shakes go on

You see me now a veteran of a thousand psychic wars

My energy's spent at last

And my armor is destroyed

I have used up all my weapons and I'm helpless and bereaved

Wounds are all I'm made of

Did I hear you say that this is victory?

Don't let these shakes go on

It's time we had a break from it

Send me to the rear

Where the tides of madness swell

And been sliding into hell

Oh, please don't let shakes go on

Don't let these shakes go on

Don't let these shakes go on

I've been through a dozen Phantom of the Opera lyrics and figured out 3 things:-

a. the PotO is more horribly deformed and has a worse life than Sandor

b. he's whinier and more self-pitying

c. Sandor would kick his butt and beat up anyone who picked on him

I know. He doesn't quite fill the profile. Are there any cowboy songs that could apply? Maybe one that involved an unfortunate face accident and identity issues? :)

Someone proposed a Johnny Cash song a few posts ago; as I am a 60’s and 70’s country music fan, I thought of another good one.

It’s by David Allan Coe

The song is named Living on the run, which is extremely appropriate with Sandor’s situation after ACOK.

The link:

The lyrics ( the ( ) comments are mine) :

SEEMS LIKE IT'S RAINING' HARDER TODAY

THE RAIN MUST OF KNOWN I WAS COMING' THIS WAY

IT AIN'T EASY LIVING ON THE RUN

IF I PICK UP MY STEP AND PULL MY BELT DOWN TIGHT

I CAN MAKE IT TO THE BORDER BY SATURDAY NIGHT (to Riverrun before the wedding :P )

AND IT'S LONELY LIVING ON THE RUN

I KILLED ME A WOMAN IN TENNESSEE ( he leaved the KG? Killed Dondarrion? is accused of a million crimes?)

I JUST BROKE JAIL AND THEY'RE GUNNING' FOR ME (Instead of broking jail, he escaped KL of course, and there are no guns in Westeros, but still)

I'M ON THE RUN, LIVING ON THE RUN

I'M ON THE RUN, LIVING ON THE RUN

MY WOMAN WANTED MORE THAN A MAN COULD STEAL (something related to being around Sansa and feeling miserable because he couldn’t help her and that she was afraid of him)

FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE DECKS WHERE I LEARNED TO DEAL

AND IT GOT ME LIVING ON THE RUN

WOMEN LOVE AN OUTLAW I HEARD FOLKS SAY

AND I'LL BE AN OUTLAW TILL MY DYING DAY

CAUSE IT GOT ME LIVING ON THE RUN

What's with all these 80's songs? Noooo. It should be a melancholic song about a misunderstood man who suffers from a face deformity

Phantom of the Opera type stuff but without crazy possessiveness stuff.

Because 80's songs are (mostly) good compared to the (mostly) crap that is regurgitated today!

I kind of like this one for Sandor, not for his Sansa link but for what I think is coming for him;

"I Won't Back Down"

[Verse 1]

Well I won't back down, no I won't back down

You can stand me up at the gates of hell

But I won't back down

[Verse 2]

Gonna stand my ground, won't be turned around

And I'll keep this world from draggin' me down

Gonna stand my ground and I won't back down

[Chorus]

Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out

Hey I will stand my ground and I won't back down

[Verse 3]

Well I know what's right, I got just one life

In a world that keeps on pushin' me around

But I stand my ground and I won't back down

[Chorus]

Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out

Hey I will stand my ground and I won't back down

No I won't back down.

Behind Blue Eyes by The Who? (What colour are his eyes anyway?)

No one knows what it's like

To be the bad man

To be the sad man

Behind blue eyes

And no one knows

What it's like to be hated

To be fated to telling only lies

[Chorus:]

But my dreams they aren't as empty

As my conscience seems to be

I have hours, only lonely

My love is vengeance

That's never free

No one knows what its like

To feel these feelings

Like i do, and i blame you!

No one bites back as hard

On their anger

None of my pain and woe

Can show through

[Chorus]

Discover l.i.m.p. say it [x4]

No one knows what its like

To be mistreated, to be defeated

Behind blue eyes

No one knows how to say

That they're sorry and don't worry

I'm not telling lies

[Chorus]

No one knows what its like

To be the bad man, to be the sad man

Behind blue eyes.

off-topic but:-

Sandor vs Phantom of the Opera

Poto singing beautifully, "Help me make the music of the night"

rasp of steel on scabbard

THWACK

thud

"Buggar that"

Cowboy songs fit his profile so well: loners, macho, etc.

I'm going to suggest this one as well. While the lyrics and title might not seem directly related to Sandor, it brings him to mind.

Black Velvet by Alannah Myles http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uS870zCCAwM

Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell

Jimmy Rogers on the Victrola up high

Mama's dancin' with baby on her shoulder

The sun is settin' like molasses in the sky

The boy could sing, knew how to move, everything

Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for

Black velvet and that little boy's smile

Black velvet with that slow southern style

A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees

Black velvet if you please

Up in Memphis the music's like a heatwave

White lightening, bound to drive you wild

Mama's baby's in the heart of every school girl

"Love me tender" leaves 'em cryin' in the aisle

The way he moved, it was a sin, so sweet and true

Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for

Black velvet and that little boy's smile

Black velvet with that slow southern style

A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees

Black velvet if you please

Every word of every song that he sang was for you

In a flash he was gone, it happened so soon, what could you do?

(Guitar Solo)

Black velvet and that little boy's smile

Black velvet with that slow southern style

A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees

Black velvet if you please

Black velvet and that little boy's smile

Black velvet with that slow southern style

A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees

Black velvet if you please

If you please, if you please, if you please

Now leaving the 80s and... going back to the 70s! (sorry young-uns)

Fire by the Pointer Sisters (I'm putting this here for the fire reference not because its sexy)

I'm ridin' in your car (on your horse?)

You turn on the radio (I best not comment anymore!)

You're pullin' me close

I just say no

I say I don't like it

But you know I'm a liar

'Cause when we kiss

Ooooh, fire

Late at night

You're takin' me home

You say you wanna stay

I say I wanna be alone

I say I don't love you

But you know I'm a liar

'Cause when we kiss

Ooooh, fire

You had a hold on me

Right from the start

A grip so tight

I couldn't tear it apart

My nerves all jumpin'

Actin' like a fool

Well, your kisses they burn

But my heart stays cool

Well, Romeo and Juliet

Samson and Delilah

Baby you can bet

A love they couldn't deny

My words say split

But my words they lie

'Cause when we kiss

Ooooh, fire

Ooooh, fire

Kisses like fire

Burn me up with fire

I like what you're doin' now

Fire

Touchin' me

Fire

Touchin' me

Burnin' me

Fire

Take me home

I best not even reference their 'Slow Hand'
