Title: Theme song for the collective movement to save CoH?
Post by: Blitzwing on September 09, 2012, 02:11:31 AM
Occurred to me that perhaps, we need a song that not only drives us to victory, but keeps our hopes up....

To that end, let's drop some suggestions here, along with vids of said song!

This song, despite its Japanese language(but thank goodness for subtitles), has spoken to me for years, long after it's early 90's debut....  :)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXUq4HG7fo8 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXUq4HG7fo8)

 'Say Yes!' from the original Bubblegum Crisis anime series!   8)

=edit=

A live, full-length version of the song is here....

I'd actually suggest this:

   Because for me, this whole situation brings this scene to mind:

   Hello, we're the City of Heroes.   Basically, Run!

The goodness doesn't start until 50 seconds in (hey, I didn't make the video but it's still a classic). But this pretty much sums up where I am right now. Also shades of The Master Plan scene from "Iron Eagle"...

While Bonnie Tyler does bring that little feel for me, I was thinking:

Um.  I really like Viridian's pick -- Save the World (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKFmLwjLp8s), by Sweedish House Mafia.  It's upbeat, catchy, and the lyrics are close to perfect.

I changed the words...

Done to the tune of "We Built This City"


We built this city, we built this city on fun and friends
Built this city, we built this city on fun and friends

You might not know me or recognize my face
But we all care who goes to that place
Knee deep in the villains enjoying the fight
Now the bad news eating up the night

Someone always playing corporation games
Who cares they're always changing corporation names
We just want to play here... someone stole the stage
They call us unimportant.. write us off the page

You play your hero, listen for the glowies, don't you remember
We built this city, we built this city on fun and friends

 It's just another Sunday, on a King's Row street
CEO's have got the choke hold, oh then we just lost the beat

Who counts the money underneath the bar
Who rides the wrecking ball in to our avatars
Don't tell us you need us, 'cos we're not a bunch of sheep
Looking for Paragon, cause love of the game runs deep

(I'm looking out over that IP bridge
Out on another gorgeous sunny Saturday, watching the Tsoo and Family)

Don't you remember the fun?

(It's your favorite game, in your favorite game world
The city by the statue, the city that rocks, the city that never sleeps)

Boombox rocks the music, do the monkey dance, don't you remember
We built this city, we built this city on fun and friends

We built this city, we built this city on fun and friends
Built this city, we built this city on fun and friends

In the spirit of changing words...

Sung to the tune of "Defying Gravity" (from the Wicked soundtrack):

Something has changed within us.
Something is not the same.
We're not okay with someone threatening our beloved game.

Too late for second guesses.
Too late to find something else.
It's time to rally forces,
Raise our voices and yell.

It's time to try...defying gravity.
I think we'll try.... defying gravity.
And they can't bring us down.

We're through accepting choices
'cuz someone says they're so.
Some things we cannot change.
But 'til we try, we'll never know.

Too long we've formed our friendships,
made our bonds, and helped our cause.
Well, if they think we'll fade out quietly,
they'll be the ones at loss.

It's time we try defying gravity.
Take up our capes, defying gravity.
I'd sooner buy defying gravity.
And they can't pull us down.

Look at us now defying gravity.
We'll show 'em how we're defying gravity.
They once allowed us to defy the gravity.
No chance they'll hold us down.

So if you want to find us?
Look over Atlas skies!
For over eight years they've taught us
Everyone
deserves
a
chance
to fly!

They'll think we're flying solo.
But no, we're flying strong!
To those who'd stop us?
We'll show them they're so wrong!

It's now our TIME for defying GRAVITY!
What we do BEST is defying GRAVITY!
Hardly SUBLIME for defying GRAVITY
And they can't bring us down.

Hold us down?
Nooooooooo!

All great suggestions. I'll throw in a couple from entirely different genres, just because I can, not because I expect anybody but me to like 'em. (wink)

"Nobody's Hero" by Rush

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8JxU0rLTl8

I'll admit the thing I really like about this song for Paragon City's situation is the line in the refrain

"When I heard that you were gone
I felt a shadow cross my heart"

-----

"No High Ground" by Leslie Fish (darn it, can't find a link anywhere. Probably too confrontational anyway.)

(lyrics only)
http://www.lyricsmuse.com/tracks/leslie-fish-no-high-ground

"Ain't no freedom here, not unless you take it.
 Ain't no justice here, unless you make it all."

-----

Hard to argue with Jacknomind, though. Viridian's pick is awfully good, though I prefer this video

Superdogs FTW!

Post by: jacknomind on September 09, 2012, 10:08:22 AM
Heh, since we're doing new lyrics, here's one I put on the CoH boards yesterday:

Save the City Maybe

Quote
I found the Incarnate Well
Don't ask me I'll never tell
I got a Midnighter spell
But it's go-ing away

I'd trade my IOs for a wish
Spent all my nickles on this
Wasn't looking to quit
But it's go-ing away

Paragon was holdin'
Fast snipe, things were fixing
Mot died, Hamidon's growing
Where you think you're going, baby?

Hey, I just met you
And this is crazy
But here's my global
Save the city, maybe?

It's hard to not fight
with the villains
But here's my global
Save the city maybe?

And all the other games
Try to chase me
But here's my global,
Save the city, maybe?

I've got a Bots/Time mastermind
We'll group for Faathim the Kind
'cause Doctor Q is too much grind
But it's going away

I'll beg and sign and protest
That farewell post is a jest
I didn't know I'd be such a mess
It's all going away

We've all got to hold on
I'm sure, we can show 'em
We'll fight, Tweet and YouTube
Where you think you're going, baby?

Basically, all these are great music, it's impossible to choose. What we need to do, is make FMVs (Fan Music Videos) with all these great music and footage of the game or famous films and put them on the web with links to the petition and to the twitter feed. This will appeal to the fans of each music equally and make them support us.

Go make great videos !

OH MY GOD I WAS WRONG !

Listen to this: the lyrics and everything !! IT'S OUR STORY !

http://youtu.be/kfSSpkCoXxo

This is a fan girl resinging in english a japanese anime opening. So freaking spot-on it's frightening !

The lyrics:

Quote
Drowning in denial, they're racing through this city
Fighting for survival, an urban Serengeti
Slowly I awaken, and know that I can make it
Time to show the power that's burning like a fire deep in me

And somewhere there's got to be a reason
And it's something we all can believe in
From their birth people search until they've found it
Now the die is cast
And you can't turn back
You've got to reach for your dreams

I'm not afraid of failure or wounding my pride
And I'm not that strong but I know I'll survive
Had enough pretending, enough being weak
I will find my future, and I will succeed!
HERE WE GO! GO! Run like the wind and be proud
If you don't look back then you'll make it somehow
I've got faith in the person I am
GIVE A REASON FOR LIFE
And show them you can

Getting in touch with her so that I can make an inspirational video.

Honestly, a lot of these songs are great action-y type songs, but nothing captures the spirit of CoH to me more than the first thing you hear when you create a character for the first time: The Atlas Park theme.

Personnally I can't think of any. I have atlas park's music in my head whenever I think about our actions.
This in all honesty, nothing I have heard since I first logged in brings to mind this game better.

As for the theme to our resistance:

All Ways Look on the Bright Side of Life (Monty Python et al).
Show Must Go On - Queen (especially last line: "I still love you...")
And dare I say it: We Are the Champions - Also by Queen... ;)
Title: Re: Theme song for the collective movement to save CoH?
Post by: Copper Cockroach on September 09, 2012, 05:56:00 PM
Queen? Did someone say Queen?
I can't think of anything more fitting than "The Hero" from the Flash Gordon soundtrack:

So you feel like you ain't nobody
Always needed to be somebody
Put your feet on the ground, put your hand on your heart
Lift your head to the stars and the world's for your taking

All you gotta do is save the world
Yeea-ah!

So you feel like it's the end of the story
Find it all pretty satisfactory
Well, I tell you my friend
This might seem like the end
But the continuation is yours for the making

Yes, you're a hero!
Ooh yeah!

The first verse pretty much describes why people play CoH in the first place... any regular guy or gal who wants to can be a superhero. The second verse covers our current situation (except for the part about "find(ing) it all pretty satisfactory".)

-C.C.

Not only are the lyrics appropriate, but the show very much parallels CoH's struggle right now; it was a show unjustly cancelled before its time, only to rise out of the ashes a few years later with the movie "Serenity." Plus, the song has a bit of a 60's-folk-protest-song feel to it, as well.

It seems that this whole movement is designed for that song. "See you in the skies, one last time." "I aim to misbehave." I've even heard "You can't take the sky from me." The theme from Firefly is absolutely perfect.

Granted, I'm a huge Firefly fan, too.... 

But I'm also an old school Rock and Roll kind of guy.  Firefly was awesome, and unjustly killed before its time.  Yet, there's always Jackson Browne....

People stay.... Just a little bit longer,
We wanna play just a little bit longer,
I hope your mother don't mind,
And the Union don't mind,
If we take a little time and we leave it all behind and sing
One more song!

Oh, won't you stay?
Just a little bit longer,
Please, please, please, say you will,
Say you will!

...Oh, won't you stay just a little bit longer, oh,
Won't you stay just a little bit longer?

And your mother don't mind,
And your brothers don't mind,
If we take a little time and we leave it all behind and sing,
One more song...!

There's a lot of love for the Firefly music.  Understandably so; it was great music for a great show.

However, let's not mix our messages (if any of this music is rolled into a message).  At worst, people will hear the music and think we're another wave of "Bring back Firefly!" campaigners (which we might also be, in other times and places); even for some who know that we're not, they're liable to wonder why we're using the music of another media movement for our own.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZ-D4jmkUiQ

"I Still Believe" (Frank Turner)


Hear ye, hear ye
Friends and Romans, countrymen
Hear ye, hear ye
Punks and folks and journeymen

Hear ye, hear ye
My sisters and my brethren
Our time is coming near

Come ye, come ye
To soulless corporate circus tops
Come ye, come ye
To toilet circuit touring stops

Come ye, come ye
To bedrooms, bars and bunker squats
The sound is ringing clear

And who'd've thought that after all
Something as simple
As rock 'n' roll would save us all?
Who'd've thought that after all
It was rock n roll

[...]

And I still believe
Now who'd've thought that after all
Something as simple
As rock 'n' roll would save us all?
Now who'd've thought, after all
Something so simple, something so small

Who'd've thought that after all
It's rock n roll

I have theme songs for all my toons, and I think this one would be ideal

3 Doors Down - Citizen/Soldier
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgV6VUinDEA

Beyond the boundaries of your city's lights,
Stand the heroes waiting for your cries.
So many times you did not bring this on yourself,
When that moment finally comes,
I'll be there to help.

On that day when you need your brothers and sisters to care,
I'll be right here.
Citizen soldiers holding the light for the ones that we guide from the dark of despair.
Standing on guard for the ones that we sheltered,
We'll always be ready because we will always be there.

When there are people crying in the streets,
When they're starving for a meal to eat,
When they simply need a place to make their beds,
Right here underneath my wing,
You can rest your head.

On that day when you need your brothers and sisters to care,
I'll be right here!
Citizen soldiers holding the light for the ones that we guide from the dark of despair.
Standing on guard for the ones that we sheltered,
We'll always be ready because we will always be there...

There... there... there...

Hope and pray that you'll never need me,
But rest assured I will not let you down.
I'll walk beside you but you may not see me,
The strongest among you may not wear a crown.

On that day when you need your brothers and sisters to care,
I'll be right here!
On that day when you don't have the strength for the burden you bear,
I'll be right here!
Citizen soldiers holding the light for the ones that we guide from the dark of despair.
(Citizen soldiers)
Standing on guard for the ones that we sheltered,
We'll always be ready because we will always be there.

In our City I will show
'Cos to a mission I want to go
I love the game...I've watched it grow
But since the news of the 31st I think you ought to know

That I'll keep flying long as I have wings
And I'll keep loving all this game brings
I'll keep stallin' till the pendulum swings
'Cos the game ain't over till the fat lady sings
 

NCSoft I can't tell
If your profits weren't all that  swell
(it seemed like all was well)
But since your news I haven't gone to hell
 

So I'll keep pluckin' at your old heart strings
I'll keep truckin' long as a noobie dings
I'm not duckin' what tomorrow brings
'Cos the game ain't over till the fat lady sings
 

Babs has  left Galaxy town
Positron hid his frown
I am not just fooling around
And I won't let you get me down.
 

So though the end, you're trying to bring
I ain't grievin', none of these things
Ain't retreatin' I'm a hero with wings
'Cos the game ain't over till the fat lady sings
 

IT AIN'T OVER TILL THE FAT LADY SINGS

The City of Paragon (to the tune of house of the rising sun)


There is place in Cyber Space
They call it Paragon
And its been the home a many a hero
and Devs I know I'm one

My Mother was a tailor
she sewed my spandex tights
my father was a Freedom Fighter
down in Romero Heights

The only thing a Hero needs
is purpose and a drive
and the only time he's satisfied
is when citizens stay alive

Oh mother's tell your children
to go where I have gone
Spend your lives in armor and tights
In the city of Paragon

Well I got one foot in Preatoria
and the other in Earth Prime
I'll Defeat lord Recluse
and tyrant just in time

There is place in Cyber Space
They call it Paragon
And its been the home a many a hero
and Devs I know I'm one

Ever since the announcement I've had a song by the Finn Brothers in my head (Aussies and Kiwis will know who I'm talking about).  Won't Give In.

"What does it mean when you promise someone
That no matter how hard or whatever may come.
It means that I won't give in,
won't give in, won't give in
Cause everyone I love is here,
Say it once and disappear"

Just to bring a funny note here, but, it's not exactly since the Black Friday, or anything particular. It's more because I do impersonate parts of the character, but I picture the following months with this music on the background:

Honestly, a lot of these songs are great action-y type songs, but nothing captures the spirit of CoH to me more than the first thing you hear when you create a character for the first time: The Atlas Park theme.

CoX is the best and what we judge all the others MMO's by!

I've had Coldplay's Viva la Vida running through my head the last hour whilst playing CoH and a loose form of parody lyrics began forming. I'd love to make it (or some revised form of it) a youtube video, but I dont have the time and I can't sing very well. I'll post it here in case anyone else can do something with it or get ideas from it.

I used to save the world
Heroes united when I gave the word
Now every night I just walk the streets
Wondering how I'd met defeat
Villains were terrified
When they saw my cape in the sky
Civilians would cheer my way
For a Hero I was, that's what they'd say
Wish I could have saved it all
But my world began to fall
Away from everything that I knew
My Incarnates were gone, I couldn't renew

I'd fly off into the endless skyline
Theme songs that I'd hear in the daytime
Turn 'round and face down my ArchVillains
'Rachnos, Hellions, Crey Corporations
And hope one day we can save this place
From the MMOKiller
Always built for solo-play
And that was when I saved the day

T'was NCSoft and their C-E-O
Told us we're done, we had to go
Forums posting at the speed of light
The worst villain we've had yet to fight
As criminals roamed with pride
Families crying at my side
Our world itself coming to an end
Oh, why was it we couldn't defend?

I'd fly off into the endless skyline
Theme songs that I'd play in my downtime
Turn 'round and face down my ArchVillains
Nemesis, Rikti, and Cimerorans (insert new enemy groups 2nd time)
If this battle should leave me slain
I know Hero 1 will call my name
They can't take it all away
And that was when I saved the day
x2


Only wish I'd thought of this sooner. Just work with me, I've never done this before. ^_^

Our Lady Peace - Superman's Dead (US Version w/o Clowns)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=155mR0SAISI

There's another version with Clowns & Carnies that's sort of appropriate in a kinda creepy way too.
And, I should note - part of why it made my playlist was that I kept hearing that one line as:
"The World's a Subway away..." = at least in Praetoria I guess, or a Monorail in Primal Earth/Paragon, that and the obvious  "Superman is Dead"... and so in turn = all of the other Heroes -probably are/or would likely be- dead as well.  :(

I have theme songs for all my toons, and I think this one would be ideal

3 Doors Down - Citizen/Soldier
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgV6VUinDEA

Beyond the boundaries of your city's lights,
Stand the heroes waiting for your cries.
So many times you did not bring this on yourself,
When that moment finally comes,
I'll be there to help.

On that day when you need your brothers and sisters to care,
I'll be right here.
Citizen soldiers holding the light for the ones that we guide from the dark of despair.
Standing on guard for the ones that we sheltered,
We'll always be ready because we will always be there.

When there are people crying in the streets,
When they're starving for a meal to eat,
When they simply need a place to make their beds,
Right here underneath my wing,
You can rest your head.

On that day when you need your brothers and sisters to care,
I'll be right here!
Citizen soldiers holding the light for the ones that we guide from the dark of despair.
Standing on guard for the ones that we sheltered,
We'll always be ready because we will always be there...

There... there... there...

Hope and pray that you'll never need me,
But rest assured I will not let you down.
I'll walk beside you but you may not see me,
The strongest among you may not wear a crown.

On that day when you need your brothers and sisters to care,
I'll be right here!
On that day when you don't have the strength for the burden you bear,
I'll be right here!
Citizen soldiers holding the light for the ones that we guide from the dark of despair.
(Citizen soldiers)
Standing on guard for the ones that we sheltered,
We'll always be ready because we will always be there.

I listened to so many here.  This I think is it!

I Am The Doctor - Murray Gold: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5D-QPDGhCtM

Everytime I listen to it, my resolve strengthens. The imagery this song instills in me is a strong one. I picture the call going out, and our characters--never truly gone--answer. Men and women who have not been in uniform for far too long step forward into a central plaza we can't quite make out, heads held high and ready to defend their City once again. At 2:15, we slowly rise and see...the statue of Atlas, with the sun coming over it and casting light across Atlas Park, banishing the darkness and shadows. It's what we're all fighting for, and it always gets me.

Our fight is not over, and to that end, I also propose the following.

Uprising - Muse: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfblGznVLJo

They will not force us. They will stop degrading us. They will not control us. We will be victorious!

That line from the refrain says it all.


And finally, because at this point we definitely color outside the lines and march to the beat of a different drum...

The Crazy Ones - Stellar Revival: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOediKfzoec

Because we are the crazy ones, the mavericks, the dreamers, the forgotten sons. Just like my sig says. And we won't be silenced or marginalized.

Hi gang. So I've been hanging onto this lil song for some time now. I think it can be something that can be sung by the whole CoH community, even if you're like me and nervous to sing in front of others. It's simple, circular and easy to sing along to (and hopefully catchy). It'd be cool if we could get a collection of everyone singing it, and overlay it onto one of the vigil videos that have been made.

Here's me singing it... be gentle.
https://www.facebook.com/v/135858586571684

If someone with better musical talent who would like to improve on this - please please do :)

Thanks all.

Oops - meant to include the lyrics:

City of Heroes, city of more
Please save our city
Open those doors
"To the skies! To the skies!"
Cried all the heroes
Don't let our sun set
Let it rise, let us soar!

Righty-o then!

There is also a group of Power Metal called Keldian (http://www.keldian.com/), who made a song named Star Children (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJPgyAEOgX8), which could be the theme song of CoH's Kheldians ;-)
Spoiler for Star Children lyrics:
life, arise
exceed existence with burning eyes
believe, break free
illusions of boundaries and mortality
into eternity

you are not alone, you are not alone

forever in this life, we sail the sea of stars
we ride the winds of light, across the cosmic night

my mind, blazing bright
eternal life in frozen lattices of light
I feel, I see
order in chaos and destiny
into eternity

you are not alone, you are not alone

forever in this life, we sail the sea of stars
we ride the winds of light, across the cosmic night

firstborn, first free
freed from matter, beyond all life
into eternity

you are not alone...you are not alone

forever in this life, we sail the sea of stars
we ride the winds of light, across the cosmic night

A too-much-fitting ballad from them: Redshift (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BXY_UKsnNI)
Spoiler for Redshift Lyrics:
So we're leaving you behind
Footprints on your shores
Washed away forever more
Looking at you one last time
As the wheel of heaven turns
We are never to return

I see it in your eyes
As the sky draws your gaze
Did you get to say goodbye?
Did you see her sad face?

Now we're leaving her behind
Nothing stays the same
Never to touch this ground again

I see it in your eyes
As the sky draws your gaze
Did you get to say goodbye?
Did you see her sad face?

The planet below will soon
Disappear into space
And now when you close your eyes
You will see us falling away

I see it in your eyes
As the sky draws your gaze
Did you get to say goodbye?
Did you see her sad face?

The planet below will soon
Disappear into space
And now when you close your eyes
You will see us falling away

So... I've been thinking... this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdGZBRAwW74 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdGZBRAwW74) kinda fits how I feel about other games. (Thinking of You by Katy Perry.) These are the days I wish I had demo skills. :( But no other game just comes close to CoX--and no matter how much I like a game, it just doesn't live up to City of. Lyrics as followers for people who don't prefer her music:

Thinking Of You lyrics
Songwriters: Perry, Katy;

Comparisons are easily done
Once you've had a taste of perfection
Like an apple hanging from a tree
I picked the ripest one, I still got the seed

You said move on, where do I go?
I guess second best is all I will know

'Cause when I'm with him I am thinking of you
(Thinking of you, thinking of you)
Thinking of you, what you would do
If you were the one who was spending the night
(Spending the night, spending the night)
Oh, I wish that I was looking into your eyes

You're like an Indian Summer in the middle of winter
Like a hard candy with a surprise center
How do I get better once I've had the best?
You said there's tons of fish in the water, so the waters I will test

He kissed my lips, I taste your mouth, oh!
(Taste your mouth)
He pulled me in, I was disgusted with myself

'Cause when I'm with him I am thinking of you
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/k/katy-perry-lyrics/thinking-of-you-lyrics.html ]
(Thinking of you, thinking of you)
Thinking of you, what you would do
If you were the one who was spending the night
(Spending the night, spending the night)
Oh, I wish that I was looking into

You're the best, and yes, I do regret
How I could let myself let you go
Now, now the lesson's learned
I touched it, I was burned
Oh, I think you should know!

'Cause when I'm with him I am thinking of you
(Thinking of you, thinking of you)
Thinking of you, what you would do
If you were the one who was spending the night
(Spending the night, spending the night)
Oh, I wish that I was looking into your, your eyes
Looking into your eyes, looking into your eyes

Oh, won't you walk through?
And bust in the door and take me away?
Oh, no more mistakes
'Cause in your eyes I'd like to stay, stay

I listened to this song a lot when I was doing SaveCoH stuff. I also had a macro set for my mastermind and his minions that was synched up to it. I'll make a video of it. One of these days.

A Man's song, finally. I didn't listen enough to Manowar before, so I knew I wasn't the one fit to bring them here, but I shall be here to salute them.

On quite another tone, I bring you... not quite a song either... The Anime moment to save CoH ? Well, one I just got chills just watching it again. I think a lot of you will lack the suspension of grown-up-ness (electron canon ? how many tons ?) necessary to just enjoy and let the moment penetrate you. It may even appeal only to those who watched the show. So may I spell forth its name: Nadia, The Secret of Blue Water.

This is the moment the New Nautilus rises from the earth after quite a beating (included for good measure), and kicks the ass of Gargoyle. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPXa_5gd__Y&t=6m29s) The Neo Atlanteans are 500lb NCSoft, Gargoyle their foul will (who or whatever it was), while he may have got the Nautilus, our game, we'll ressucitate it or have a new one and kick their posteriors with it !

(If you only want the musics of course, that also works: Beatdown (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRQGDJ4YSLM), Hope (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-9PcaqPYiQ), and finally, triumph (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91sZ8Jsu_II?t=3m) ^^)

I was going through my music folder and I found a song that I really like as the anthem for how NCSoft treated the People of Paragon City

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apeRfBmOYr0

Wrap it up - Whitey

Don't get upset, don't make a fool of yourself.
Don't lose your head, please get a grip on yourself.
There's nothing else you can do.
There's nothing else you can do.
There's nothing else you can do.
There's nothing else you can do.

You may well say; how could this happen to you?
You may well ask and you may not like the truth.
Why is it always to you?
Why is it always to you?
Why is it always to you?
Why does this happen to you?

(Interlude)

You may well say; how could this happen to you?
You may well ask but you may not like the truth.
Why is it always to you?
Why is it always to you?
Why is it always to you?
Why does this happen to you?

So don't get upset, don't make a fool of yourself.
Don't lose your head, please get a grip on yourself.
There's nothing worse he can do. (He=Kim Taek-Jin)
There's nothing worse they can do. (They=NCSoft)
There's nothing worse they can do.

There's only one thing to do.
GET EVEN!

No-one But You - Kerry Ellis, the orchestral version. It may be a bit melancholy, but every single word rings with truth for the fight we're in. I know it's originally by Queen, but I find this version to be much more powerful and relevant to the situation.

A hand above the water
 An angel reaching for the sky
 Is it raining in heaven -
 Do you want us to cry?
 
And everywhere the broken-hearted
 On every lonely avenue
 No-one could reach them
 No-one but you
 
One by one
 Only the Good die young
 They're only flying too close to the sun
 And life goes on -
 Without you...
 
Another Tricky Situation
 I get to drownin' in the Blues
 And I find myself thinkin'
 Well - what would you do?
 
Yes! - it was such an operation
 Forever paying every due
 Hell, you made a sensation
 You found a way through

One by one
 Only the Good die young
 They're only flyin' too close to the sun
 We'll remember -
 Forever...
 
And now the party must be over
 I guess we'll never understand
 The sense of your leaving
 Was in the way it was planned...
 
So we grace another table
 And raise our glasses one more time
 There's a face at the window
 And i aint never, never saying goodbye...
 
One by one
 Only the Good die young
 They're only flyin' too close to the sun
 Cryin' for nothing
 Cryin' for no-one
 No-one but you

Pardon me if I re-iterate someone else's idea, but I'd like to recommend:

Pat Benatar - Invincible

This bloody road remains a mystery.
This sudden darkness fills the air.
What are we waiting for ?
Won't anybody help us ?
What are we waiting for ?
We can't afford to be innocent
Stand up and face the enemy.
It's a do or die situation - we will be invincible.

This shattered dream you cannot justify.
We're gonna scream until we're satisfied.
What are we running for ? We've got the right to be angry.
What are we running for when there's nowhere we can run to anymore ?
We can't afford to be innocent
Stand up and face the enemy.
It's a do or die situation - we will be invincible.
And with the power of conviction there is no sacrifice.
It's a do or die situation - we will be invincible.

Won't anybody help us ?
What are we running for when there's nowhere

Nowhere we can run to anymore ?
We can't afford to be innocent
Stand up and face the enemy.
It's a do or die situation - we will be invincible.
And with the power of conviction there is no sacrifice.
It's a do or die situation - we will be invincible.

We can't afford to be innocent
Stand up and face the enemy.
It's a do or die situation - we will be invincible.
We can't afford to be innocent
Stand up and face the enemy.
It's a do or die situation - we will be invincible.
