Looking for Song Recs

[thjazi]

Right, I'm fallen into Making Playlists as an apparent new hobby, and so of course I'm making some for the Amis, and, well.... I can't find any decent Courfeyrac songs. Some might say this reflects my own poor musical choices, to which I say OF COURSE IT DOES, but the fact remains: Courfeyrac songs, I need 'em. Any Gen Enjolras & Combeferre recs would be appreciated too!

Not quite what you're asking for, but I feel like the song Dig My Grave is highly relevant for the Amis in general! (the lyrics)

I was thinking of Science Genius Girl for Combeferre (...or Joly), and really I think a lot of Freezepop songs would work for Courfeyrac. I, uh. I would link you but I don't know how to Music on the internet.

They're more in the goofy-happy Courfeyrac department than the charter-burning barricade-dying Courfeyrac department, though.

If you're okay with songs in foreign languages, READY STEADY GO by L'arc~en~Ciel (who are Japanese despite the name) might work for Courfeyrac. Lyrics here with English translation, and video here. It was also used in an abbreviated form as the second opening theme for the first Fullmetal Alchemist anime, if you've seen that.

I also feel like "Bright College Days" by Tom Lehrer has potential as a complete snarkfest about higher education.

ETA: For doomed barricade times, "A Secret He Will Take to His Grave" by Murray Gold is a good instrumental, as is "A Special Sort of Bus" by the same composer for a more militant feel (shhh, yes, I know they're from Doctor Who soundtracks. They're good music).

"Outlands" from the TRON: Legacy soundtrack by Daft Punk might work for barricades or intense!Enjolras.

And "Nagai Nagai Yume no Naka no Utagai" is a jazzy instrumental from the Baccano! soundtrack that might work for Courfeyrac.

Also, "I Want to Hold Your Hand" by the Beatles for Grantaire and Enjolras.^_^

"We Are Young" by Fun.? Or perhaps "Fireflies" by Owl City . . . I have no idea why that one screams Courfeyrac to me but it does.

Someone once came up with "Hear you me" by Jimmy Eat World for Courfeyrac (and specifically Marius - Courfeyrac), and oh, does it work!
