Another fanmix post:
I'm not sure what to title this. The "menacing godlike female vocalists" mix, or at least "Yubi's quest to find something like the Queen in The Hazards of Love with varying levels of success" mix.
Constant work in progress 8| if you have any suggestions I'll gladly take 'em.
Criteria: (not all tracks match perfectly, just mostly is fine)
- female vocalist
- deep/forceful singing voice
- lyrics are apocalyptic, malign, or hostile in some way
- preferably not sexy or sultry, more "inspiring cosmic dread"
Julia Ecklar - "Going Back"
Learn hatred’s song,
Teach the way of sword and reindeer,
Keep watches long,
Breath the ice into your core.
Blood heats the trail.
Ours and theirs freeze side-by-side.
We learn to kill with joy and pride,
And this is war.
The Decemberists - "The Wanting Comes In Waves / Repaid"
How I made you
I wrought you, I pulled you
From war I labored you
From cancer I cradled you
And now
This is how I am repaid
The Decemberists - "The Queen's Rebuke / The Crossing"
I'm made of bones, of the branches, the boughs and the bough beating light
Well my feet are the trunks and my head is the canopy high
And my fingers extend to the leaves in the eves
And a bright, brighter shine
It's my shine
Nakajima Miyuki - "Chijou no Hoshi / Earthly Stars (Unsung Heroes)"
nadataru mono o otte kagayaku mono o otte
hito wa koori bakari tsukamu
kaze no naka no subaru
suna no naka no ginga
(Chasing after something famous
Chasing after something shining
People only seize onto ice
The Pleiades in the wind
The universe in the sand)
SJ Tucker - "Casimira"
You all go hunting secrets
'til there's nothing left
You ask it of the heavens
and the beggars in one breath
I sit back with the spiders
and I laugh myself sick
I watch you give it all away
SJ Tucker - "Snake Star Song"
I have warned my beloveds of my death to come
I have seen your face, and I know you
It isn't your tale and your power that will spread
but the story of how I destroy you
Lion King 2 - "My Lullaby"
The melody of angry growls
A counterpoint of painful howls
A symphony of death, oh my!
That's my lullaby
Nina Simone - "Pirate Jenny"
All the night through, through the noise and to-do
You wonder who is that person that lives up there?
And you see me stepping out in the morning
Looking nice with a ribbon in my hair
And the ship
The Black Freighter
Runs a flag up its masthead
And a cheer rings the air
Poe - "Control"
This is beginning to feel good
Watching you squirm in your shoes
A small bead of sweat on your brow and a growl
In your belly you're scared to let through
Vienna Teng - "Watershed"
I've done this many times before you
Ashen sky
Lightning storms
Deltas to desert plains
Wartime on every border
Dirt Poor Robins - "Leviathan"
Here I lie in the darkened deep
For a thousand years I've been asleep
Far removed from the wars that rage
Undisturbed by the earthquakes
And I wait -- I wait
