I've decided to use Gavin as Hoihe's source of themesongs..
It's usually one verse that causes me to consider the song as a theme tune. I'll mention which one. As one can see, the songs are from random games/movies so the overall theme doesn't fit, but the chorus often makes it fit.
Here are a few:
Hoihe's overall theme tune:
"Blood on my hands,
stumble through uncharted lands
Lady luck's on my side
as I swim against the tide"
- Hoihe survived extreme things
"Coincidences always been a friend to me
I always seem to wander where I'm meant to be"
- Hoihe tends to be at the right place, at the right time
Hoihe's Adventurer theme after joining Candlekeep, and also for his goal, and "main quest":
"By tome or trial I master
The secrets of the beast"
- On Dragon blood, being sorcerer and Dragon Warrior
"I bear no love for counts or kings
Or nobles' taunts and tricks
I have no will to share their thrill
For tiresome politics"
- Hoihe's forbidden from taking part in politics, and also dislikes the blindness of the leaders.
"As fragments fade I clutch my blade
And visit visions vast"
- Main quest
Hoihe's past theme, about the incident of Samargol and the storm at the sea, and also his grand unluck when it comes to settling down with someone:
"Race you to the top
Behold the distant streets below
Times I hoped would last forever
Never older grow
They took my peace
They took my name
My family"
Hoihe's first arrival on the Coast, and his last ritual:
"The cost of survival
Is losing your edge
Lost in revival
But back from the dead
The past and the future
They clash and collide
And chance will renew for
The spy who survived "
Replace spy with "man" or anything else and you got it right.
Also good for Hoihe's many RCRs, for most of them come from times when he almost died.
Hoihe's past in the present, the guilt of going against family code and the curse he got from an angry wizard. The entire lyric fits almost
"Take a deep breath
Open your eyes
Sweet slumber's over
It's time to rise
So much to alter
To rectify
I've been here waiting
To show you why
Backtrack
Building the road back
Stone cracks
Hammers on the attack
We ride
Over the divide
I guide
Keep you on the right side
There's something in your past
That you can't erase
Build the road in front of you
You can't fix a broken heart
In a couple of days
So bring it back or start anew
You'll find your Bastion
Take to the skies
You'll hear the sweetest
Of lullabies
You'll learn your history
So steeped in shame
You'll feel the guilt of
The ones to blame
Cloudburst
Moving in reverse
Old curse
Thought it couldn't get worse
Still land
Company once grand
Withstand
Knuckles of your own hand
There's something in your past
That you can't erase
Build the road in front of you
You can't fix a broken heart
In a couple of days
So bring it back or start anew
Turnin' back is bound to be
Just another calamity
Take a deep breath
Open your eyes
Sweet slumber's over
It's time to rise"
Temporary knight in sour armour, after the trip to Waterdeep and facing the Lepaiths, the reason why Hoihe swore his life to protect elves:
"No man can truly outlast
All the mistakes of his past
There's no haven here for me
That's safe from my memories"
Hoihe's after dungeon track:
"Look to the sun's rays
Behold and offer praise
Look to the sun's rays
Comfort in the glow"
A Dacino's duty may only end in death or success. Giving up is not a choice. If it fails, fix what you broke.
"When you're stumbling through the darkness walking blind
Don't forget that there is always hope to find"
"They won't break you
Break you
They won't bring you to your knees
They won't break you..."
Ironically, I can't find anything in the Skyrim songs of Gavin that would fit, despite the dragon theme.
