Musical Inspiration for the Dirge

[MrParaduo]

It says the Dirge Haunt has to be a wordless song, and I thought of a few tunes that I think would be perfect. Lemme know what you guys think, and what your personal choices would be. :3

A Poem for Everyone's Soul -- Shin Megami Tensei: Persona OST
A Song from Her Memory -- Final Fantasy IX OST
Elf Song Tavern -- Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance OST
Evelynn's Theme -- League of Legends OST
Ezio's Family -- Assassin's Creed 2 OST
Halo Theme -- Halo OST
Idol of Space and Time -- Devil May Cry 3 OST
Jhin, the Virtuoso -- League of Legends OST
Psycho Mantis Hymn - Metal Gear Solid OST
This Is What You Are -- Warframe OST

Could this work? It's very techno (and I could see it as a G-M angel's song), but it does have a kind of mournful tone to it, at least to me, and I could see a sin-eater whose Geist is quite technology-associated singing it.

Marconi Union (ambient track, regarded by some neuroscientists as "the most relaxing track of all time")

Some stuff I found by litterally typing "Lullaby wordless singing" but that's still good listen plz

Good stuff, guys. I feel like we need more male vocals, though. Any recommendations?

My Immortal: By Evanescence. Always found it to be a rather bittersweet, Geist-y song; definitely a Dirge song.

While not truly Dirge appropriate, why not make this a Geist musical inspiration thread too? I have a song that just screams “ Smug Reaper” :

All Things Must Die: Jeff Williams w/Casey Lee Williams.

For the male vocals, how does this one work?

You know me intimately enough to know that I cannot let a challenge lie-

If you want to remake thread main topic - best is edit Opening Post and call moderator to change topics name. Other way they will spring up the same inspirational topic in coming weeks... Charlaquin, can you rename topic?

[Charlaquin]

I’m confused. wyrdhamster, you seem to be the only person who has said anything about a title change? I have no problem changing it, but I haven’t seen any indication that MrParaduo wants that.

And general openes to other musics for Geist, not only Dirge, later on.

I think you should ask Paraduo before asking miss Charlaquin. This is primarily a Dirge inspiration thread, I just happened to suggest expanding the umbrella because I thought a song was Geist appropriate... but that’s up to him

If it would serve the community better, then I suppose it's okay...
