Katara Stand in the Rain by Superchick [Kanasha]

[Kana]

I think Tophs song would be Suddenly I See by KT Tunstall

Katara- Stand in the rain by Superchick

Ty Lee - Walking on Sunshine by Ali and AJ

[volcomxreckless]

LOL! With Katara's... I just picked a song based on "School Time Shipping" xP

That one about Toph is ironic.

[Kana]

I know, buts its a good song for her.

[Fire Lord Azula]

I got carried away with this.  I'm not enamored with today's music, but I'll give it a shot.  Some of the songs I've chosen may be several years old because of my modern aversion.  But it's okay, right?  I mean, "Walkin' On Sunshine" isn't a song of today... it was made in '85!  Anyway, don't expect too many Top 40 songs from me... you'll find maybe a handful.


Aang - "Falls On Me", by Fuel.  It's a bit dark for Aang, but it brings to the forefront the seriousness of his destiny.  Here's another... "I Alone", by Live.  To Katara: "only love can save us now"... I'm no 'shipper, but he did admit his love for her.  It could be platonic, if you want to go that way, too.  I couldn't think of anything upbeat for Aang today.

Katara - "Heaven, Let Your Light Shine Down", by Collective Soul.  It's optimistic and questioning, but with an edge, and I think it reflects Katara's devotion to her destiny as a friend of the Avatar.

Sokka - "Mambo Number 5", by Lou Bega.  Sokka's a girl-magnet... what more needs to be said?

Toph - "So Far Away", by Crossfade.  This song embodies her liberation from a life of make-believe... she's not a helpless little blind girl, and she doesn't have to pretend anymore.  It'd be directed at her father.

Suki - Yeah, I like Daughtry's "It's Not Over" for her, too.

Zuko - Evanescence's "Going Under" is appropriate, especially if you apply the lyrics to his relationship with his father.  Another good one is "Jumper", by Third Eye Blind.  It deals with "cutting ties with all the lies that [he's] been living in"... it's just a really good match for him.  "Burning Bright", by Shinedown reflects his indecisiveness.  Most modern is Incubus's "Dig": apply it to Iroh.  It's beautiful.

Azula - "Superbeast", by Rob Zombie.  There used to be a kickin' AMV on YouTube featuring this song.  It was high-octane and very cool.  Breaking Benjamin's "Breath" is good for her, too, especially the first stanza.  "Touch, Peel, And Stand", by Days Of The New... a song about abusive behavior.  Azula is powerful and brutal, so my choices reflected that.

Ty Lee - "Barbie Girl", by Aqua.  LOL... I apologize for this.  I couldn't come up with anything more fitting.  And the song is strangely addicting... and funny...

Mai - "The Road To Nowhere", by Ozzy Osbourne.  "Live for today and not tomorrow"... she's always looking for something to do right now... it just seems to fit her, and the ending could reflect her feelings toward Zuko ( we don't know yet ).

I couldn't find one for Iroh...

Zuko -
"Mordred's Lullaby" by Heather Dale
My only son,
each day you grow older,
each moment I'm watching
my vengeance unfold.
The child of my body,
the flesh of my soul,
will die in returning
the birthright he stole.

The whole song has a very creepy "Fire Nation Royal Family" feel to it. I saw it used in a very nice AMV about Ursa and Zuko's relationship.

"Colors" by Crossfade
I know you feel alone, yeah,
and no one else can figure you out.
But don't you ever turn away from
the ones that help you down.
They'd love to save you.
Don't you know they love to see you smile?
But these colors that you've shined
are surely not your style

Very much Zuko after the season two finale, because he's ignoring the advice of people who love him (Iroh) and doing things that just don't seem like him anymore.

"Don't Say a Word" by Sonata Arctica
Mother always said "My son,
do the noble thing.
You have to finish what you started,
no matter what.
Now, sit, watch and learn.
It's not how long you live,
but what your morals say."

Does anyone else see Ursa having a talk with Zuko in this?

Explanations for my Songs

Aang- In "The Avatar State" when Katara got bent underground. Well, you know. Aand Appa.
Katara- School Time Shipping. xD
Sokka- How he and Yue felt in The NP.
Toph- All of her attitude toward Aang in "Bitter Work!"
Suki- Y'know the theories she's still alive. Yea.

Azula- Uhmm, think about it. Princess Azula.
Mai- I thought she was depressed.
Ty Lee- Kanasha suggested this. I like it. lol

Zuko- Can you say Season 2 Finale?! *cough*
Iroh- is pimp... lol!

[Fire Lord Azula]

AmbrMerlinus: I love Crossfade's "Colors".  It's very fitting for Zuko.  I haven't heard the other two songs you listed, but the lyrics mesh well, too.  Liking the Ursa connection on the last one.

volcomxreckless: I haven't heard most of the songs you named, so it's hard to comment on them.  "Glamorous" for Azula... hmmm... when I hear that title, I think more of Princess Peach from Super Mario... Azula isn't what I'd call "glamorous".  She's not your typical sparkly-poo, frilly-frilly princess.  Title aside, she doesn't act much like a princess at all.  Then again, I've never heard the song, so the lyrics might be more fitting than my initial impression.  I do like Daughtry's "It's Not Over" for Suki -- that's about as fitting as it gets, even if she's not alive.  She would die fighting, saying to herself, "It's not over!!"...

It doesn't suit her that much but here..

Glamorous [The part that suits Azula]

I got problems up to here
I've got people in my ear
Telling me these crazy things
That I don't want to know
I've got money in the bank
And I'd really like to thank
All the fans, I'd like to thank
Thank you really though
Cause I remember yesterday
When I dreamt about the days
When I'd rock on MTV, that be really dope
dang, It's been a long road
And the industry is cold
I'm glad my daddy tell me so, he let his daughter know

[Kana]

I think Suki could be - One Girl Revolution

ROFL that fits Axula

[Fire Lord Azula]

Thanks for posting the lyrics.

Honestly, I'm not getting the connection to Azula.  Even in an alternate universe, I couldn't see her swearing and rocking out on MTV, but maybe that's just me.  Azula is tough-as-nails in a more direct, unapologetic, thankless way.  The song seems too... teenybopper, but that's not really the word I'm looking for.  Ah, well.

"One Girl Revolution" is pretty good for Suki, too.

[AmbrMerlinus]

one more Zuko song:

Chop Suey by System of a Down

Father, into your hands,
why have you forsaken me?
In your eyes forsaken me,
in your thoughts forsaken me,
in your heart forsaken me.

Of course, anything angsty has automatic ties to Zuko, but this one especially I think because of the lines cited.

[femaleairbender]

"What Hurts the Most" by Rascal Flatts is a good song for the relationship between Zuko and Ursa, in my opinion. The analysis below is kind of more of my thoughts and theories, but oh well.

Even though going on with you gone
Still upsets me
Zuko knows Ursa is gone, whether she just left or was killed. Either way, I bet he misses her.

What hurts the most
Was being so close
Zuko and Ursa had a close mother/son relationship.

And having so much to say
I get the feeling that Zuko never told his mom he loved her, probably due to that the royal family of the Fire Nation (most of them, anyway) see emotional attatchment as weakness (it sounds like I'm pointing out the obvious, doesn't it?).

And watching you walk away
Kind of obvious, isn't it? Zuko DID watch Ursa walk away.

It's hard to deal with the pain
Of losing you everywhere I go
But I'm doing it
This goes back to my thought that Zuko's dealing with the pain of Ursa being gone, though I doubt he really obsesses over it.

But I know if I could do it over
I would trade, give away
Show the words that I saved in my heart
That I left unspoken
Again, I'm guessing that Zuko never really told Ursa he loved her.

And that's pretty much it.

I'm not much into the american music I'm the asian kind (not the oldies the modern rock ones)
