I saw this on another character website and thought it was a wonderful idea, so here is a list of songs that remind me of Selene in some way or another. The list will continue to grow over time, but for now, here it is.

"Save Tonight" Eagle-Eye Cherry

This song came out roughly around the same time that Selene and Pantoleon began courting and it has always stuck with me as one of their songs for a couple of reasons. There is one scene where Selene and Pantoleon spend an entire night talking (really, just talking) but when morning's light breaks through the window the realize what this will look like and Selene must slip away quietly. Secondly, because of RL, Pantoleon wasn't always around, and it was explained by him going off on family business, leaving Selene behind in Haven.

Tomorrow comes to take me away
I wish that I, that I could stay
but girl you know I've got to go, oh
and Lord I wish it wasn't so

Save tonight
fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow
Tomorrow I'll be gone

"La Luna" Sarah Brightman

To be honest, her entire album by the same name is very Selene, but this song stands out because of the lyrics more than the musical accompaniment. The lyrics fit exactly with the story Selene told Cyrano about the Empyrean moon goddess, Celene, being a protector who watches over the Empyre as they sleep.

The night falls
And it is there
It reigns over the whole sky
It will watch us with kindness
Illuminating the evening.

The moon of the night
Will sweetly protect us.

"The Wrong Man Was Convicted" Barenaked Ladies

Anyone that has heard this song will understand just how heart-wrenching it is. If you haven't heard it and doubt that, find the song, the Ladies do more than just goofy pop songs. Anyway, I was listening to this shortly after Selene told Alcander it was over and I began to tear up, imagining that this song was coming from his point of view.

Who's breathless now?
Who only hyperventilates?
Who'd die for you! Who's dying inside anyway?
Which one of us is sunshine and which one's growing dim?
While two men dream of you at night, do you just dream of him?

"Woke Up This Morning" A3 (Sopranos Theme)

I've liked this song since I've seen The Sopranos but just recently it seemed to fit really well into a period in Selene's life. After riding on prosperity that she and her husband had worked for after the war, she learns that her husband's brother, Lysander, was responsible for Emperor Justinius' murder, a man who was also her maternal grandfather. The news hit her extremely hard as she saw everything she worked for possibly being swept away by the dead Princeps treasonous actions.

When you woke up this morning everything was gone.
By half past ten your head was going ding-dong.
Ringing like a bell from your head down to your toes,
like a voice trying to tell you theres something you should
know. Last night you were flying but today youre so low
- aint it times like these that make you wonder if
youll ever know the meaning of things as they appear to
the others; wives, husbands, mothers, fathers, sisters and
brothers.
