Kibbutznick Posted December 19, 2004 Report Posted December 19, 2004 Hey guys, can you all help me out with this English Project. In class, we are reading The Odyssey, and we have to a crative project. I chose to make a "soundtrack" to this epic, which I am naming "The Gods Can't Stop the Rock". I need some help compiling songs for this. I was wondering if you guys who have read the book could help me out. I have some themes if that can help people. I need some songs that deal with/are about: Missing your lover when he is far away Coming home from war having an unattainable lover finding your inner strength/ adolesent self discovery Dreaming of home Soldier's Brotherhood Songs of the Sea so far, I have some songs... "On My Own" from the Les Mis Soundtrack "He Went to Paris" by Jimmy Buffet "Homeward Bound" by Simon and Garfunkel "Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?" by Mandy Patinkin "I don't want to miss a thing" by Aerosmith "Traveling Soldier" by the Dixie Chicks "The General" by Dispatch can you guys help me out?
Aunt_Acid Posted December 19, 2004 Report Posted December 19, 2004 Cool idea. What about the Lotus Eaters part? You could use Tempted By The Fruit Of Another. Get it? Ahhh I really need to get to bed.
XXX Posted December 19, 2004 Report Posted December 19, 2004 I'm thinking you should go with Rush songs Try: "In The End" "A Farewell To Kings" "Freewill" "Limelight" "Time Stand Still" "Limbo"
Kibbutznick Posted December 19, 2004 Author Report Posted December 19, 2004 ahh! First Post, Brilliant, too! :-D Keep 'em Coming! some more Telemachus songs: We're not gonna take it - Twisted Sister 3x5- John Mayer I have Hotel California down for The times when Odysseus is stuck on Calypso's Islands.... "You can always check in, but you can never check out."
SoulGirl Posted December 19, 2004 Report Posted December 19, 2004 "you can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave" perfect choice kibbutznick!! was listening to that just yesterday - great song, eh edna?!! we think it describes songfacts perfectly!!
Kibbutznick Posted December 19, 2004 Author Report Posted December 19, 2004 ^^ hahaha, I knew it was something like that.
RonJonSurfer Posted December 20, 2004 Report Posted December 20, 2004 Try "The Seven Seas of Rhye" by Queen. You want the version on Queen II.
edna Posted December 20, 2004 Report Posted December 20, 2004 Hi, Kibbutznik! Welcome!!! What about "Emotional Rescue" (Stones) when Odysseus comes back home and kills Antinous (sorry, I´m French, I don´t know what´s his name in English!!)? Or "Sky Pilot" (Eric Burdon) for Telemacus falling? Well, it´s part (only part) joke, but if you´re interested in the lyrics, I can post them. Just ask. And welcome to songfacts!
edna Posted December 20, 2004 Report Posted December 20, 2004 "Ship of Fools", Bob Seger, for songs of the sea.
