Songs That Suit The Characters

It is not. It was one that was originally intended for the Virginia Patterson Hensley who is remembered as Patsy Cline in the United States.

That's the trouble when songs have the same title :grin:

Fighting for Strangers by Steeleye Span - for Spectrum.

What makes you go abroad fighting for strangers
When you could be safe at home free from all dangers?

Gamble Gold- Traditional, performed by Steeleye Span - could be Dr Gold (NCS) or what Scarlet does in 'Special Assignment. :wink:

Angel Eyes by Alan Price - for any Captain in a relationship with an Angel.

I hope that someday that we will understand
That we can be together and love the way we planned
And then nobody will be falling but me
Nobody will be calling but me at your door
Your more than angel eyes
Looking for lover and lovers
Your angel eyes reading between the covers....

As an aside, can I mention to Parker Gabriel that the song "Blue", although written for Patsy Cline, was never actually recorded by her?

The chap who wrote the song thought it was very suitable for Leanne Rimes as he thought their voices are similar.

Sorry if it sounds like I'm being pedantic, but I didn't know that either till now!

I had said that it was originally intended for Cline; moreover, I knew she had never actually RECORDED it. :oops:

Sorry, Parker Gabriel. The wrist has been suitably
slapped ! :oops:

I don't know the song or the artist. I do feel that unless the song title is completely self-explanatory, which this isn't, you should give some some sort of explanation, albeit it brief, as to what you feel the connection is to the character(s).

I did say Captain Black. And to explain a bit more fully: he doesn't seem to care about anything, alright save that time he doesn't kill Symphony.

Intensity Angel - I'm afraid that 'explanation' leaves us none the wiser as to what the song was about that might make it relevant to any of the characters.

So, as you didn't seem to want to explain, I looked the word up - and it is almost enough to get the post deleted. Then I understood why you couldn't explain what it is about.

I will leave it to the Colonel to decide what to do about the post and the word.

No... I think we'll let it slide as I had no idea what it meant before looking it up through a link sent by a friend.

Beside, there's other expressions around meaning about the same thing which are less obscure but that we accept because we know what they mean, and it's better to use these expressions than the actual thing... (Okay, for those who think we're speaking in riddles... Look up the word yourself!)

But I'm afraid it's all too true, Intensity.

It doesn't actually fit into the game. However... We'll keep it around for the sheer entertainment of it! :wink:

By the way, you still haven't sent me a better pic of this avatar of yours!

The Last Time I saw Richard by Joni Mitchell. Captain Ochre.

The last time I saw Richard was Detroit of '68
And he told me:
"All romantics meet the same fate, someday
Cynical and drunken
Boring someone in some dark cafe,"

Only human on the inside by The Pretenders - Captain Scarlet.
Willow by Joan Armatrading. For the elite squad on Cloudbase.

I may not be your best; you know good ones don't come by the score
If you've got something missing, I'll help you look, you can be sure
And if you want to be alone or someone to share a laugh
Whatever you want me to, all you got to do is ask .

I sent you an email Chris, along with what I hope was the final version of 'that' fan fic.

I've found another song. I wrote a NCS poem about Black and Destiny and realised that this song;

Kate Winslet- - What If is ideal for both the poem and Black & Destiny. And also Scarlet & Black because the song talks about what if you hadn't let go of someone but its too late to turn back the clock and do something different. 'Enigma' (I think its Enigma) is a perfect representation of this song as Scarlet thinks he is given a sceond chance to stop the war of nerves and stop Black from firing on the Mysterons but in reality he couldn't, 'well I guess we'll never know' is the actual lyrics from the song.

I didn't receive that last e-mail so far, Intensity. Can you please send it back to me again? I'm missing the complete illustrated version of the said fanfic for posting!

I don't think we had "Earth Angel", added to this list. By either the Penguins (not the Madagasgar ones) or the Crew Cuts (Colonel White will be happy!). Captain Scarlet serenading to Rhapsody, maybe?

"Blue Moon", (sung by many). When Captain Blue went to the moon and felt lonely... :angel)

What is the song called, Intensity Angel?

by **Intensity Angel** » Fri Aug 13, 2010 11:08 am

It was the Kate Winslet song! But there is also another I forgot to add, and I'll link it to your question.

Lies - McFly

This song so suits Black and Destiny.

"The devil has his eye on you" is cracking line in the song because Black does have his eye on Destiny.

What's the Kate Winslet song actually called, Intensity?

i've got one, it's "Mellow Yellow' by Donovan. Ochre is a kind of yellow, but I bet he wasn't very mellow about being called it!
And there's another colour in the words, too:

I'm just mad about Saffron.
A-Saffron's mad about me.

I know there's no Saffron in either of the series, but I think there's one in TV21 or in one of the books.
