Clementine's requiem/lullaby

edited October 2014 in The Walking Dead

Another thread for the sake of an excuse to post music, but taking her death as the theme this time. We'll assume the story writers have nothing but outright contempt for your wishes to see her survive and a painful end in mind. Post music that appeals to you as something suitable with which to see her off, not necessarily something that you think would work well in the game itself or fit its musical character, but what resonates with you.

My bit: a folk lullaby sung by the late Hamlet Gonashvili, Georgia's (the other Georgia) most memorable folk singer, and who unusually enough, like Canada's Stan Rogers, had met his end in the '80s in a fatal accident. I can't think of a tenor with a voice better suited for soothing a girl in her last painful moments and lulling her to a final sleep.

    I choked on my cigarette laughing as I watched that. That's pure gold, and come to think of it, ironically more fitting with my feelings of apathy this season. Since we're on the lampoon track here, I'll see your video and raise you this in fitting with her new protagonist role.

    Okay now that you've brought the sensitive music I feel secure enough to share my feelings with this sweet little song.

    I don't know how appropriate this would be as a requiem but here's one piece of instrumental music that I think would be a good send off for Clem at the end of all this:

    It's a song that was composed specifically for Clementine by a (former?) member here named Fealiks. It's not overly melancholy or sad, but there is a bittersweet sense of innocence and nostalgia to it.

  • Sorry, but this works on so many levels for me.

    Well played. And now to top it all off with suitable solemnity.

    Thanks for the profile link. Joined 2009? It's nice to see something like this from one of the old timers of the forum. I've only rescored, not composed.

    Well, that has to count as the Tainted Coil entry, with contributions courtesy of the Ironheade and Drowning Doom factions having already been made here. Seeing that the presence of all Brütal Legend factions is now accounted for, I can only take that to mean that internecine warfare in this thread is now inevitable.

    Nice :) You win this round.

    I'm all out of Clementine songs, but Rebecca's baby deserves one too. So I'm just going to slip one in here.

  • This is shaping up to be the heaviest concentration of undertaker humour in one place on these forums.

    We being close to reaching the season finale with its various possibilities, I might as well give this thread a bump, although I've a long while back begun laying down the tombstone, commencing with wistful mourning for the Clementine that could have been in a far differently fashioned second season but who never materialised.

  • Thanks for waiting til the downvotes were removed before bumping this thread. ;)

  • Your title reminded me of one of my old threads. Not specifically the same concept, but they are vaguely similar.
