Anita Blake Character Theme Songs

So, I've been thinking about this for a few weeks now, but it was a matter of sitting down and going through songs that I just couldn't find time for. Now that I have the time, I've decided to go along with the idea of making a list of theme songs that fit each character. Many characters will have more than one theme song though. Ignore some of these videos. Not all of them had an official video to go along with it. The process for finding three songs each took over an hour to complete.

Abraxas Beaumont

'If Only Tears Could Bring You Back' by Blessed Union of Souls - This song deals specifically with losing someone you cared about and how you wish you could bring them back. Abraxas lost his mom at a young age due to her illness, and even still he wishes he could bring her back.

'My Wish' by Rascal Flatts - Abraxas has a habit of putting everyone else in front of himself. He hopes for the best out of most people, and thus he wishes that any dream that someone else can come up with does in fact come true for them. He wnats everyones life to be what they want it to be.

'Nothing I Won't Give
' by Vic Mignogna - Abraxas is still haunted by his past to a certain degree. However, he knows now that you can't stop and give up on something. Instead, he pushes through each day and does his best to continue living and see those around him happy.

Angel Echo

'The Climb' by Miley Cyrus - There are always obsticals insomeone's way. After so many years, Angel's found some of the obsticles difficult to get around. All the same, she continues to push herself and try her best. Even if sometimes that may not always work. Most times though, she does what she can.

'Where You Lead' by Carole King - This isn't so much Angel's theme song alone as it would be hers and Kelsi's. The two of them are very good friends, and regardless of what happens or where she is, Angel would be more than willing to jump up and come to Kelsi's aid if need be. And vice versa.

'Stand' by Rascal Flatts - As a recently turned wolf, Angel has been known to be submissive. She's still learning wolf ettiquette and the likes, and still learning the ropes. All the same, no matter what happens even as a wolf, she does not easily give up. If she messes up, she stands right back up and tries again.

Damien Lovett

'By Myself' by Linkin Park - Actually, this suits him roughly around the time frame in which he drove the second car off the bridge. For a while, this seems to be the best song to fit him. At this point, for reasons only he can explain but probably won't, the only thing he wants to do is be by himself. His explaination being that no one would understand. Which may or may not be true considering he hadn't been able to open up to anyone yet.

'Second Chance' by Shinedown - It takes Damien a little time to realize that everyone's just looking out for him and trying to help him. Like usual he tries to push them away. Here, Damien tries to prove everyone wrong. He wants to prove that he can change. Though in doing this, it requires a little bit of a hiatus on his part.

'No Boundaries' by Adam Lambert - Sometimes it takes those around you to show you something that you didn't think existed. For Damien it takes his friends - now family - to show him the world and make him realize a few things. Now, with one obsticle down, as long as he has his family at his back, there isn't anything he can't do.

Jack Lawliet

'I Just Can't Wait to be King' by The Lion King - The ironic thing about this one is Jack is the Rex of the Branson, Missouri Pride. Still, he had always had the hope after being turned that one day he would be the next King in line. And lo and behold a few short years later, Jack is now the Rex.

'If Everyone Cared' by Nickelback - Jack has always had an outlook on life where the realization that if everyone would just stopped some of their evil acts like lying and stealing and such, then the world would see a day when no one died. Though, this was more of a belief his parents brought him up with, but all the same. It's one he still holds to be true.

'Believe' by Staind - Life is not always what it may appear to be. There are so many problems that cannot be fixed and such. Jack likes to think that in his way he can help and change some of the world. Even if this seems like an impossible feat. He proves people wrong in that respect.

Jamal Lincoln

'Lifeline' by Papa Roach - There was one point, even if it was several years back Jamal couldn't find a lifeline of his own. It seemed no matter what, everything was turning against him and trying to gang up on him. Though, this simply is not true in later years.

'Gotta Be Somebody
' by Nickelback - Everyone is always looking for that right someone to be with. Jamal on the other hand works far too much to take much notice in any females. All the same, Jamal is hoping that by some fate there is someone out there for him. Someone he can love and be loved by back.

'Its My Life' by Bon Jovi - Jamal doesn't know how to look at a bad day and not just take what he can and try to make it into something better. He does not dwell on anything bad that may haveh happened, but rather he tries to learn form it and move on. It's as simple as that.

Joel MacBeth

'This Kiss' by Faith Hill - This song takes effect a few months after Joel starts dating Kelsi Whittle. The song in general explains how he feels the first time he kisses her, and then over the course of the next few months. It's a magical feeling for them both, and one Joel doesn't want to forget.

'Somebody' by Reba McEntire - You never know who you love until you open your eyes and see what's right there in front of you. Ever since meeting Kelsi, Joel had a slight crush on her, but it wasn't necessarily anything he needed to do anything with until he realized that small crush was more than that. She was the one who wanted to spend the rest of his life with.

'Keeper of the Stars
' by Tracey Byrd - This will eventually be one of the songs they do dance to, mainly because of Joel's prodding to get Kelsi to dance with him. He's amazed that he's the one who ended up with a treasure like Kelsi, and it seems as though for the first time, everything is going right with Kelsi in his arms.
