There is certain music I was hooked on while reading DT7. To this day, when I listen to it, I can still remember exactly how I felt when I finished that story. Its like a little time capsule of that part of my life. I love it.
Dark Tower music and such ::SPOILERS::

And may I know which music it is?Originally Posted by Girlystevedave
Roland would have understood.
My Chemical Romance / The Black Parade cd.And may I know which music it is?
There's a song that's chorus is:
I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey if you stay I'll be forgiven
Nothing you can say will stop me going home.
Everytime i listen to that, I still picture Roland starting his quest in the desert.
I don't have the music in my ears but the lyrics is very nice. Deep and touching.
Roland would have understood.
I'm sure someone has the video of the song on YouTube. Just do a search on there.
"It's his eyes, Roland thought. They were wide and terrible, the eyes of a dragon in human form" - Roland seeing the Crimson King for the first time.
"When the King comes and the Tower falls, sai, all such pretty things as yours will be broken. Then there will be darkness and nothing but the howl of Discordia and the cries of the can toi" - From Song of Susannah
yup!

When I was a young boy,
My father took me into the city
To see a marching band.
He said,
"Son when you grow up, will you be the saviour of the broken,
The beaten and the damned?"
He said
"Will you defeat them, your demons, and all the non believers, the plans that they have made?"
Because one day I leave you,
A phantom to lead you in the summer,
To join the black parade."
When I was a young boy,
My father took me into the city
To see a marching band.
He said,
"Son when you grow up, will you be the saviour of the broken,
The beaten and the damned?"
Sometimes I get the feeling she's watching over me.
And other times I feel like I should go. Through it all, the rise and fall, the bodies in the streets.
When you're gone we want you all to know We'll Carry on,
We'll Carry on
Though your dead and gone believe me Your memory will carry on
Carry on
We'll carry on
And in my heart I cant contain it
The anthem wont explain it.
And we will send you reeling from decimated dreams
Your misery and hate will kill us all
So paint it black and take it back
Lets shout it loud and clear
Do you fight it to the end
We hear the call to
To carry on
We'll carry on
Though your dead and gone believe me Your memory will carry on
We'll carry on
And though you're broken and defeated You're weary widow marches on
And on we carry through the fears
Ooh oh ohhhh
Disappointed faces of your peers Ooh oh ohhhh
Take a look at me cause
I could not care at all Do or die
You'll never make me
Cause the world, will never take my heart
You can try, you'll never break me
Want it all,
I'm gonna play this part
Wont explain or say i'm sorry
I'm not ashamed,
I'm gonna show my scar
You're the chair, for all the broken Listen here, because it's only..
I'm just a man,
I'm not a hero
Just a boy, who's meant to sing this song
Just a man,
I'm not a hero
I -- don't -- care
Carry on
We'll carry on
Though your dead and gone believe me Your memory will carry on
We'll carry on
And though you're broken and defeated You're weary widow marches on
We'll carry on
We'll carry on
We'll carry on
We'll carry
We'll carry on
Thanks Brice.

You are a treasure, Brice. Thank you.
Roland would have understood.
Another song that reminds me of the Dark Tower series is From Yesterday by 30 Seconds to Mars.

Yep, that one reminds me of Roland too.
Not all of the lyrics in the song remind me of Roland but most do. Their video for it is one of the best ever done in my not-so-humble opinion..
From Yesterday
He’s a stranger to some
And a vision to none
He can never get enough,
Get enough of the one
For a fortune he'd quit
But it’s hard to admit
How it ends and begins
On his face is a map of the world
(A map of the world)
On his face is a map of the world
(A map of the world)
From yesterday, it’s coming!
From yesterday, the fear!
From yesterday, it calls him
But he doesn't want to read the message here
On a mountain he sits, not of gold but of shit
Through the blood he can look, see the life that it took
From the council of one
He’s decided when he’s done with the innocent
On his face is a map of the world
(A map of the world)
On his face is a map of the world
(A map of the world)
From yesterday, it’s coming!
From yesterday, the fear!
From yesterday, it calls him
But he doesn't want to read the message here
But he doesn't want to read the message here
But he doesn't want to read the message here
But he doesn't want to read the message here
On his face is a map of the world
From yesterday, it’s coming!
From yesterday, the fear!
From yesterday, it calls him
But he doesn't want to read the message here
From yesterday,
From yesterday,
From yesterday, the fear
From yesterday,
From yesterday
But he doesn't want to read the message here

Very cool
Dark Tower music and such **Spoilers likely**
Here is where we stop driving Jean nuts by taking another thread off topic and chat about Dark Tower music and music that reminds us of the Dark Tower series. Go nuts folks.

many thanks to AllHail!
Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)
bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No problem. I thought you were going to move the posts over here?

moved some, and copied others, but alas, they move in chronological order, so your starter post is in the very middle of the thread now. But the rest makes sense.

CK, I think 30 Seconds to Mars makes the best videos. I wish they'd do more.

So, am I the rebel that forced this into a new thread?
That would be me, with the help of Brice and a few others this morning.
