Music that reminds you of Homestuck

[Quirk]

Basically, what non-Homestuck music makes you think of Homestuck?

To get things started,In My Spirit from Rebuild of EVA 2.0 and Dies Irae/ Tuba Mirium segement from Verdi's Messa de Requiem are Lord English's theme songs, no doubts about it. You hear either of those, and you know full well it is the end of the world and you are absolutely screwed.

So, how about you?

[UraniumArc]

Well this makes me think of Harlequin.

[nostalgebraist]

This may not have been the sense of "reminds" you were intending, but when I read through Homestuck back in August, I listened to "The Walk" by Imogen Heap on repeat for almost the whole time. I had just discovered the song -- I had, for some reason, just totally overlooked it on the album until then -- and it seemed like pleasant background music for reading. It went from zero plays in iTunes to well over 200.

Now I can't listen to the song without having strong HS flashbacks. In fact, if I ever re-read the archive, I'll probably have to listen to the song or it won't be the same. But I guess there's no reason anyone else should associate the two, although the lyrics (about slowly giving in) are a nice match for the experience of getting increasingly enveloped in the plot.

[Blaperile]

A lot of the songs used in "So You Think You Can Dance" sound a bit like Homestuck songs to me. It feels like any moment a real Homestuck song would start playing. XD

[fuzzyPsychosis]

You can find lot's of "related" music in this entire thread on /mspa/.

My personal additions to it were:

(Rose singing it to John.)


(I could go on and on and on about this one.)

[nicol-baka]

I think of Eridan everytime I listen to Promise of Redemption/Bubbleman by the Megas.
I'll fight strong, I'll swim fast
I'll live on you won't last
I'll destroy you, I'll prove them wrong...

Everyone's favorite Windows 7 sample song sounds sorta like it'd be a Homestuck style character theme.

[deathsbuddy]

Exile Vilify, to some extent.
Also,

and every other Bjork song reminds me of Aradia.

[Unreal_Heir]

Oh my god I do this constantly. I attempt to relate nearly every song I have to Homestuck in some way. It's really getting sad at this point...
Anyway, this song reminds me quite a bit of Aradia, especially the "I'm done with my dying" part. I just about flipped out when I heard it, it's so close.

[DrDonut]

I dunno, it just reminds me of one of Homestuck's songs or something.

YEAH!!!!!!!! i hope you mean alive aradia though

[Bowman]

Been listening to this:



Makes me think of Jade being followed by Bec. Maybe I should go atonal on the Homestuck albums from now on? Perhaps...

[Sheridan]

[oogley]

Oh, gosh. My friends have so many of these. THIS is a GREAT Eridan song.

[Nakkodile]

Honestly for some reason whenever I'm doing Homestuck related things and I'm not in the mood for homestuck music, I will often put on some Pendulum. For some reason it reminds me of homestuck, especially some kind of battle music. I dunno. That's just me.

[Nerdrage]

just wait for the tinkly piano thing, the timing of this music especially goes well with some HS flash animations

[SpearmePlease]

Every time I see LOHAC...



((If you've played this game, and seen the world, it might make more sense.))

[Alexiorsay]

If "I Don't Care" by Fallout Boy isn't Eridan, I don't know what is.
It is a dumb whiny song about seeking attention however possible....

[AProcrastinatingWriter]

Despite everything, something in me absolutely refuses to believe Homestuck won't have something resembling a happy ending.

So, I can easily imagine the cast of Homestuck singing this Phineas and Ferb song once it's all over:

[audience_cat]

This one really covers all of the kids and trolls:

In me, in you
Orphans, kingdoms
Wide eyes and paper crowns
Time will hold us
Time erode us,
We're wrinkling chilling out


This one always has me thinking of Sollux and Aradia, though I suppose it could go for any of the trolls in the veil.

So we're back here again
Tip toeing round the edge of the end
Wondering who will be last to admit
That we're finally over

[HeavyKitty]

Oh man... There is so much music... So... much... that reminds me very distinctly of Homestuck. I can force anything into a Homestuck reference, but there are some songs that stand out a lot to me... These are just from the first 3 pages of my YT.

Spoiler'd for long.

I actually discovered this song through "Kill to Know" which is a fan mix of Terezi songs... And you have to admit it's perfect for her. This one is a bit self explanatory from the lyrics... yeah, "we just wanted to be kids" death and sads and apocalypic videogames and stuff. This absolutely reminds me of the Disciple and maybe her relationship with the Sufferer or something? idk. My little sister sent me this one and said it reminded her of Gamzee because it's about a (supposedly) homicidal kid, but has a sort of chill yet pleasant tune. More death and sads. And then I get a sort of Karkat-ish feeling from this just because it's sort of angry but confused and it's about blood and genetics and mutation and shit. Aradia and/or Handmaid because of feisty and spunk. This all kinds of reminds me of Gamzee and also a little bit of Kanaya for the "paint the black hole blacker" but mostly the rapping lyrics are Gamzee. This reminds me of Sollux for some reason.

[Coasterman29]

Warp 1.9 by The Bloody Beetroots ft. Steve Aoki reminds me of Gamzee for some reason, mainly due to Steve Aoki yelling and when he yells WOOP WOOP it seems something Gamzee would yell in victory (It's Electro House, not screamo or metal,)

[Phantomime]

So, I was playing the re-release of Zelda Four Swords on my 3DS, and this instantly reminded me of Nautical Nightmare:

[Quirk]

Got another one.

Iron, for the bit leading up to the Sufferer's exectution, and I wish there was some way I could shoehorn

[Kylemii]

Omg I heard this song on the radio and remembered this thread, I decided that the only logical course of action was to stop lurking and join the forum to post it.

Uh... This song obviously has some adult themed themes in it, so if you're like 12 or something ask your parent's permission first before watching/listening.

The Homestuck-y things don't really start until 1:12 so if you want you can skip to then. Or maybe there are some HS things in that part that I'm just not thinking of?



If you take everything literally instead of figuratively there are a lot of lyrics that are reminiscent of Homestuck.

You and me baby ain't nothin' but mammals

Okay so I guess Trolls aren't exactly mammals are they? But still.

So let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel

Didn't Dave mention the Discovery Channel once? I don't remember.

Gettin' horny now

Obviously because Trolls have horns!

Love the kind you clean up with a mop and bucket

o_o I don't even have anything to say about this line. If you've read past act 4 (and you should have) you can figure it out yourself.

This line was where i first started noticing the lyrics were starting to get Homestuck-y.

Like the lost catacombs of Egypt only God knows where we stuck it

Aradia's always exploring catacombs and stuff. Gods, God Tiers, Horrorterrors. Also it has the word "stuck"

Hieroglyphics? Let me be Pacific I wanna be down in your South Seas

The game has hieroglyphics everywhere! It's insane! Also Jade lives in the Pacific!

But I got this notion that the motion of your ocean means "Small Craft Advisory"

Maybe something to do with geography? There's lots of oceans in HS. Also "Small Craft Advisory" could refer to the Exiles' stations.

So if I capsize on your thighs high tide, B-5 you sunk my battleship

There's lots of battleships in Sburb. Also Vriska and Eridan used to explore capsized ships together I guess.

Please turn me on I'm Mister Coffee with an automatic drip

Obviously Mister Coffee is one of John's dad's friendcolleagues.

So show me yours I'll show you mine "Tool Time" you'll Lovett just like Lyle

"Tool Time" must refer to Dave who can time travel and has been described by some as a tool, or to the tools used for time travel.

And then we'll do it doggy style so we can both watch "X-Files"

This part is probably about Bec prototyping with Jade's sprite and how it turned Jack Noir into Bec Noir. Later on it could also refer to Jadesprite.


In summary, it's clear "Bad Touch" was supposed to be a song written in honor of Homestuck but the songwriters made it too vague what they were talking about to the point that most of the lyrics almost seem to be talking about something else entirely!
