What song best describes your country?

Postby Imperial States of Duotona » Sat Sep 11, 2021 1:54 pm

Very simple prompt I have in mind. Describe your country using one song and say why you chose it. It can be based on it's title, composition, lyrics or any other factor!

[REWRITTEN 12/03/22] The song that best describes my nation is probably "One Love" by Bob Marley, considering that Duotona is not only very pacifist, but also has quite high rates of recreational drugs uses. "Kokomo" by The Beach Boys is also another good call.

Now it's your turn!

Duotona is a nation nestled in the Pacific Ocean. Marked by the scars of its bloody past, the people of Duotona persist and have given the nation a voice from which it preaches the word of peace and democracy across the globe!

Hmm, I guess This song. Forhillia’s concerts are made up of classical music, lullabies and jazz. Lullabies are super common for adults and children.
This nation represents my real life views.

Divertissement for Piano and Orchestra - Allegro Vivace (1960) - by Lucresia Kasilag

A combination of contemporary instruments and local ethnic instruments make this the best piece to describe Lazarine. Its powerful and fast start signifies the birth of the Lazarite Culture and the slow and melodic middle symbolizing the tumultous history of Colonial and Post-Colonial time of Lazarine and its ending of the first part shows the majesty and advancement of Lazarine in the contemporary age. Its second part shows again a beginning of a new Lazarine.

OOC: Probably this patriotic song. It's basically about admitting that there may be problems in Finland (e.g. poverty), but us Finns should still be proud of our beautiful, free country.

IC: Although this song is about Swedish (and Finnish) troops in the Thirty Years' War, it describes our Baltoscandic national character very well. We fight for freedom, and we never give up. It isn't used as our national anthem for nothing.

Probably any song from the Ace Combat 7 OST that doesn't involve Latin chanting; that's reserved for Erusea, unfortunately.

Well, one of those songs is the actual anthem for my nation already, so...

Chartreuse is my favorite color.
