Audio KHV MEP 2012: Song Mashup Ideas

So I've decided that I wanted to do something different for this year's MEP project that we will be holding this summer. The idea is simple. Instead of people making small AMVs that will be sent to me to be compiled into one huge video, I thought it'd much more organized if I were to make a mashup of various songs beforehand, editing the audio together properly so each part transitions into the other smoothly. I think this would help make the final product feel more united and harmonious instead of disjointed which happens when you take various unrelated videos and try to put them together. Now I'm not saying that last year's MEP was bad. I personally thought it was great and I'm proud of everybody who participated for helping me revive it. But we can always aim higher and do better, no? Here's an example of what I would like to do this year(unfortunately the video on Youtube isn't working properly anymore) but instead of focusing on one band, we'll be using music from various sources.

Now the purpose of this thread is for music suggestions. Everybody is welcome to suggest songs. You don't have to participate in the MEP to suggest. I don't want this mash-up to only reflect my taste in music so songs from any genre are welcome. The only thing I ask is that the song fits thematically with Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy or Disney. I can't guarantee that every song you suggest will make it to the final mix though. At the moment, I don't know how many songs will end up on the mix but I'm fairly certain that the minimum will be 15.

Now whether this idea is implemented is still up in the air. If the majority of people don't like the mash-up, then we can do things the way that they were done last year. But I'd like you guys to suggest songs anyway because maybe you'll feel differently about it if you actually had something to listen to. If anybody has any questions, feel free to ask.

Now to start things off, I'll suggest a couple of songs for now.

Now it's your turn. c:

 

I have a few ideas for songs:

You can. You really can.

 

Am I the only one that thought of Jurassic Park with the instrumental right at the beginning?

And here are my suggestions, although I might not be fully for this idea. Still, it's something new to try.

Not sure how any of us can get Party Rock Anthem to work with Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy or Disney. Which is why I said that one should suggest songs that fit with any of the series thematically; songs that you think would fit with certain characters or with the series as a whole. So if a song goes "blah blah blah hearts" or "blah blah blah darkness blah blah blah light" then you're probably in the right territory. xD

I think I'll leave it up to a vote in the end. I won't force you guys to do something you don't want to if the majority aren't for it. By the way, what do you guys actually think of the idea? Good? Bad? Meh? I need as much input as possible.

I guess I'll suggest more songs as well.

What do you guys think?

 

Hurricane by Rains.
Signs by Bloc Party.
Pirates and Mermaids by The Blue Sky Project.
Folkin' Around[Remix] - Panic! at the Disco.
Devil's Spoke by Laura Marling.

Not the best suggestions but meh. ​

 

Time to get indie in this bitch.

Hate for the Island - Los Campesinos!
R.I.P. Burn Face - CocoRosie
Cosmic Love - Florence + the Machine
Chicago - Sufjan Stevens
Drove Through Ghosts to Get Here - 65daysofstatic

also even though I'm not a fan of MLP

Discord - Eurobeat Brony

 

I only have one big suggestion for this (since the only computer with Vegas is dying and I'm not sure if I'll be able to participate in this yet).

Bad Apple (English Dub)~Christina Vee
Listen to the lyrics and think about the whole of the KH series. Is it not a match made in heaven?

 

I'll give a few because I have come back to this thread time and time again thinking of which song to add... but I'll give a few so you have a wider choice xD

A really soft, slow one ~Poets of the Fall- Sleep
Another PoTF because they are epic ~Poets of the Fall- Illusion and Dream
A nice song that makes me think of KH when I hear it ~Ben Howard- The Wolves
"You're not invisilbe now, you just don't exist" The words are quite fitting ~The Shins- the Rifle's spiral
I once made a tiny video of Riku and Sora to this song ~Katatonia- My Twin
Okay, more Katatonia but this always make me think of the bond between nobody and former self ~Katatonia- The Evidence
Same with this one really, lovely song ~Placebo- Running up that hill
Self explanatory really ~Florence and the Machine- Leave my body
Fitting song is fitting to Riku and Sora or other things ~Gotye- Somebody I used to know

I really look forward to seeing what you come up with GS :D

 

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo /opinions

Good idea putting your song recommendations like that though, instead of just putting videos. Easier to check through.

How're we going to end up deciding songs for the mash-up anyway? Take votes or something?

 

Ignore the videos themselves (if you want), they're just the ones I have saved to my playlists with the songs.

A Thousand Years ~ Christina Perri
Jar of Hearts ~ Christina Perri
For the First Time/Man Who Can't Be Moved ~ The Script (This one is a mashup of the two songs, but they'd work individually as well. I just really love this cover ;_; )
Man Who Can't Be Moved ~ The Script (In case you need further confirmation about how friggin amazing this song is.)
Paper Forests (In the Afterglow of Rapture) ~ Emmy the Great
Little Lion Man ~ Mumford & Sons

And may I also suggest some of the songs the KHV chorus has done?

Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss



EDIT;
Also, this
Little Talks ~ Of Monsters and Men

 

Sorry for the lack of response. I've been busy with school and I've got a few other things on my plate so I haven't been able to focus on the MEP as much I would like to. Anyway thanks for all of the suggestions. Feel free to suggest more though if you'd like. I'm downloading all of the songs that have been suggested right now and I'm going to start editing everything together soon.

How about everybody making a top 10 list of the songs that have already been suggested? The only limitation would be that the person who made the list wouldn't be able to put songs that they suggested onto it. The list would allow me to narrow down what songs people are interested in and the songs that people aren't interested in. The songs that gain more interest will have a higher priority in the mix while the ones that don't would have a lower priority. Let it be known though that even if a song has a high priority, if I can't get it to work into the mix then unfortuately I won't be able to use it. Hopefully that won't happen but the possibility is there.

 

Sounds good. I'll wait til you're done taking ideas before I make a list.

 

Just heard this for the first time a few days ago. I am in love with this band and this song.

A Gentlemen's Coup~Rise Against

 

Something different:
