Nerd time!! Thanks to
@Sylandra for the idea to make a separate thread (rather than clogging up the 'what're you listening to' one)
I feel like every good character has a handful of songs that stick with them or reflect their personality/stories. Really - we've all done it,
don't lie to me. So I'm sharing the one I made for Gurashi and encouraging others who have songs selected for their PCs to post here!!
Thanks for stopping by - I'm looking forward to hearing what people come up with!
When They Cry: Gurashi Character Playlist
‘It’s important to be kind. You can’t know all the times that you’ve hurt people in tiny, significant ways.
It’s easy to be cruel without meaning to be. There’s nothing you can do about that. But you can choose to be kind. Be kind.’

Maylea reaches out, Her fingers poised in midair. "Now you are of Me, even more than you were before." Her golden and azure eyes glitter. "Walk well, Eldin. Shed glory in My name, and bring life to the lifeless."

Then my limbs all froze, and my eyes won't close
And I can't say no, I can't say no
Careful"
You strangle me entangle me in hopelessness and prayers for rain
I deteriorate I live in dirt and nowhere glows but drearily and tired
And tired the hours all spent on killing time again all waiting for the rain"
Is divine, is divine
Matter of fact, it's called revenge
Cut off your nose to spite your face
It's pretty cruel shutting me (us) out"
"Woke up this morning with the devil in my bed
In the air, everywhere in my maze and in my head

Life's What You Make It - "So go and write your song / The world will sing along"
Someone New - "Would things be easier if there was a right way? Honey, there is no right way"

Old Pine - "We grow, grow, steady as the flowers"
