Being the absolute music nut and musician I am this question tends to hop around my head a lot. A hell of a lot.
'What piece of music do you think of for...?'
I wanna know what songs you think of when you think of Jim, or Bones, or Spock, or Jim/Bones, Chekov, Reaper!Bones...anything really! Anything from the Trek universe. And I dont just mean like the actual movie soundtrack, thats given.
Any piece of music. Doesn't have to be lyrical really, even instrumental pieces can make you think of a certain fic or a certain piece of art, or a scenario that you have imagined.
General suggestions:
- Characters: Like Jim, Bones, Spock, Chekov, Sulu, Uhura, Scotty...on and on. What song do you hear as their theme?
- Pairings: eg. Jim/Bones, Jim/Spock, Spock/Bones, Bones/Chekov, Sulu/Chekov, Spock/Uhura...what do you hear when you read them?
- Fan related: Songs that make you think of a particular fandom fic or artwork?
- Doom Trek: Things that make you think of Reaper!Bones and everything related to that style 'verse.
So? I'm curious guys :)

Date: 2009-09-04 02:46 pm (UTC)I always thought "Drops of Jupiter" by Train would be such a good song from McCoy's POV for them (especially after Jim comes back from Delta Vega). The really Kirk/McCoy - ish lyrics are:
Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back to the Milky Way
And tell me, did Venus blow your mind
Was it everything you wanted to find
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there
....
Now she's back in the atmosphere
I'm afraid that she might think of me as
Plain old Jane told a story bout a man
Who was too afraid to fly so he never did land
There's a bit of gender confusion, but hey! :)
I also think that Wonderwall by Oasis, Must Have Done Something Right by Reliant K, Love Remains the Same by Gavin Rossdale, and When You Were Young by the Killers are great Kirk/McCoy songs
Whenever I hear Heartless by Kayne West I think of McCoy/Jocelyn.
Spock/McCoy (in TOS) in my other favorite Trek pairing. The song for them in my opinion is I Hate Everything about You by Three Days Grace
