YAY YAY YAY. I COMPLETELY WOULD. It will be our Project and... yeah. My music collection isn't all that large, but... try my best?\
Yay!!!! *is happy and excited, and also not very intelligent in expressing it; oh well*

Give me an idea of what sorts of music we'd be looking for? Unrequited love, theme. Cynicism. Misanthropy. What "style", though?
Ack, why did I read 'misanthropy' as 'lycanthropy'? *headdesk* I have fangirling on the brain, methinks.

In the wider scope of things, I suppose what we're mainly looking for, sound-wise, is...mostly acoustic, and without an especially contemporary sound--old-fashioned or sort of timeless, rather (which was why I suggested the Damien Rice song; it could fit nearly anywhere in this century or the last). And not too young, you know? I mean, I adore Death Cab (as an off-the-top-of-my-head example) but Ben Gibbard's voice...isn't quite mature enough to suit someone like Dean.

I'm thinking pianos, guitars, strings...if you've got any really angsty violin/cello classical pieces, that would be spiffing. Also, songs with a foreign feel would be lovely, with Dean's travelling the world and all. (That, by the by, is a huge part of my fangirlism. Jaded, melancholy, snarky, and he runs off to Egypt and Japan whenever he jolly well pleases? !!!) I'll have to look over my Loreena McKennitt; something of hers ought to suit.
