Character Songs-- Lucas

Songs

I'm a big believer that music not only inspires creativity but can be essential. For me, if I hear a certain song that resonates with my characters, I feel like I am instantly in their head and know what they know...and what they want. So who is getting what song at the moment?

Lucas has two songs right now:

 Depeche Mode Home

Here is a song from the wrong side of town
Where I'm bound to the ground by the loneliest sound
And it pounds from within and is pinning me down

Here is a page from the emptiest stage
A cage or the heaviest cross ever made
A gauge of the deadliest trap ever laid

And I thank you for bringing me here
For showing me home
For singing these tears
Finally I've found that I belong here

The heat and the sickliest sweet smelling sheets
That cling to the backs of my knees and my feet
Well I'm drowning in time to a desperate beat

And I thank you for bringing me here
For showing me home
For singing these tears
Finally I've found that I belong

Feels like home
I should have known
From my first breath

God send the only true friend I call mine
Pretend that I'll make amends the next time
Befriend the glorious end of the line

And I thank you for bringing me here
For showing me home
For singing these tears
Finally I've found that I belong here

This song is pretty sad and it's more the feel of the song that makes me think of Lucas, the lyrics probably attribute too much emotion to him at the moment and don't apply as much as I might want them to. So I'll just include the video for it and if you want to hear the song, check it out.

Whereas Home captures his longing and desire to belong. Plus it's all gloomy and tortured. And I love that! lol.
