Ok, it started as a joke

Namely Goku going SSJ3 and belting out a facemelter to do it.

The facemelter comes from the end of the song Highlander(The One) by Lost Horizon. When I gave the song a listen, it occurred to me. Amascut likes songs that tell stories. And I know all songs tell stories sort of, but those are more slice of life stories or recounting the emotions triggered by some event or person.

Ack, she likes ballads. >.<

For example, a ballad from the game itself: Citharede Requiem. Actually that is two in one: A chant sung by the sisters of the Citharede Abbey and Valerio's Song mourning one of the sisters he knew before she joined the abbey.

I am wary of her music preferences now because, ugh, I got my mom to stop listening to the drug-running ballads that were popular in Northern Mexico a while ago but now there is someone living in my head who might like them if she hears them. Those corridos probably still are popular, but the drug war is causing those musicians to disappear. I think mainly the cartels are after them for both the potential ransom money and because they, in hip-hop terms, "tell it like it is and keep it street", except down there it isn't so much "street" as it is open country where randomly wandering eyes won't see you. The Mexican cartels don't like musicians glorifying drug trafficking for reasons. Mexico is complicated.
