Hi BlogClan! So, this is my first song article but I’ve wanted to try it for a while. There isn’t really a theme to the cats I chose, they’re just cats that I found good songs for 😛

#1: Ashfur x Squirrelflight
Okay so I’ve seen a bunch of different songs for this ship, but the one I think fits best is “You’ll be Back” from Hamilton.

You say
The price of my love’s not a price that you’re willing to pay
You cry
In your prey, which you hurl in the woods when you see me go by
Why so sad?
Remember, we made an arrangement when you went away
Now, you’re making me mad
Remember, despite our estrangement, I’m your man
You’ll be back, soon, you’ll see
You’ll remember you belong to me
You’ll be back, time will tell
You’ll remember that I served you well
Warriors rise, Leaders fall
We have seen each other through it all
And when push comes to shove
I will send a fully armed patrol to remind you of my love!
Da-da-da, dat-da, dat, da-da-da, da-ya-da
Da-da, dat, dat, da-ya-da
Da-da-da, dat-da, dat, da-da-da, da-ya-da
Da-da, dat, dat, da-ya
You say our love is draining, and you can’t go on
You’ll be the one complainin’ when I am gone
And no, don’t change the subject
‘Cause you’re my favorite subject
My sweet, submissive subject
My loyal, royal subject
Forever and ever and ever and ever and ever
You’ll be back like before
I will fight the fight and win the war
For your love, for your praise
And I’ll love you ’til my dying days
When you’re gone, I’ll go mad
So don’t throw away this thing we had
‘Cause when push comes to shove
I will kill your friends and family to remind you of my love
Da-da-da, dat-da, dat, da-da-da, da-ya-da
Da-da, dat, dat, da-ya-da
Da-da-da, dat-da, dat, da-da-da, da-ya-da
Da-da, dat- everybody!
Da-da-da, dat-da, dat, da-da-da, da-ya-da
Da-da, dat, dat, da-ya-da
Da-da-da, dat-da, dat, da-da-da, da-ya-da
Da-da-da, dat, da-ya-da-ah

I don’t know if this needs much explanation. “I will kill your friends and family to remind you of my love” is the only thing I need to say.

#2: Crowfeather x Leafpool

The song I’ve picked for this couple is “Rewrite the Stars” from the Greatest Showman. I’ll explain why after. I’ve seen this song for both Crow x Feather and Crow x Leaf but I think it fits better with Crow x Leaf because the lyrics show the she-cat being hesitant at first, and Feathertail was not.

You know I want you
It’s not a secret I try to hide
I know you want me
So don’t keep sayin’ our paws are tied
You claim it’s not in the stars
And fate is pullin’ you miles away
And out of reach from me
But you’re here in my heart
So who can stop me if I decide
That you’re my destiny?
What if we rewrite the stars?
Say you were made to be mine
Nothing could keep us apart
You’d be the one I was meant to find
It’s up to you, and it’s up to me
No one can say what we get to be
So why don’t we rewrite the stars?
Maybe the world could be ours
Tonight
You think it’s easy
You think I don’t wanna run to you
But there are mountains
And there are doors that we can’t walk through
I know you’re wondering why because we’re able to be
Just you and me within these walls
But when we go outside, you’re gonna wake up and see
That it was hopeless after all
No one can rewrite the stars
How can you say you’ll be mine?
Everything keeps us apart
And I’m not the one you were meant to find
It’s not up to you
It’s not up to me
When everyone tells us what we can be
How can we rewrite the stars?
Say that the world can be ours
Tonight
All I want is to fly with you
All I want is to fall with you
So just give me all of you
It feels impossible
It’s not impossible
Is it impossible?
Say that it’s possible
How do we rewrite the stars?
Say you were made to be mine?
Nothing can keep us apart
‘Cause you are the one I was meant to find
It’s up to you
And it’s up to me
No one can say what we get to be
And why don’t we rewrite the stars?
Changing the world to be ours
You know I want you
It’s not a secret I try to hide
But I can’t have you
We’re bound to break and my paws are tied

This song fits the two because it shows the general story of their relationship. It’s Crowfeather who falls first and Leafpool has hidden her feelings for a long time. She wants to be with him, but doesn’t think she can. Eventually she lets go of the binds of what’s keeping her back and runs away with him. At the end, however, she remembers her duty and has to leave him (Though if you’ve watched The Greatest Showman, you’ll see that those feelings never completely went away)

#3: Cloudtail x Brightheart
I think the song that fits these two is “Just the way you are” by Bruno Mars. This would be Cloudtail singing about Brightheart.

Oh, her eyes, her eyes
Make the stars look like they’re not shinin’
Her fur, her fur
Falls perfectly without her tryin’
She’s so beautiful and I tell her everyday
Yeah, I know, I know
When I compliment her, she won’t believe me
And it’s so, it’s so
Sad to think that she don’t see what I see
But every time she asks me, “Do I look okay?”
I say
When I see your face
There’s not a thing that I would change
‘Cause you’re amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
‘Cause girl, you’re amazing
Just the way you are
Yeah
Her lips, her lips
I could kiss them all day if she’d let me
Her laugh, her laugh
She hates, but I think it’s so sexy
She’s so beautiful and I tell her everyday
Oh, you know, you know
You know I’d never ask you to change
If perfect’s what you’re searchin’ for, then just stay the same
So don’t even bother askin’ if you look okay
You know I’ll say
When I see your face
There’s not a thing that I would change
‘Cause you’re amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
‘Cause girl, you’re amazing
Just the way you are
The way you are
The way you are
Girl, you’re amazing
Just the way you are
When I see your face
There’s not a thing that I would change
‘Cause you’re amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
‘Cause girl, you’re amazing
Just the way you are
Yeah

I like this song for these two because they fit their personalities so well. Brightheart didn’t think she was beautiful after her injury but through it all, Cloudtail still said “You’ll always be beautiful to me”. This ship is so cute ahjdfkhdjhfa

#4: Nightcloud and Crowfeather
For this ship, I’ve chosen Burn from Hamilton.
Yeah, I know I’ve done a Hamilton song already. I don’t care, it’s too good :’)

I saved every kind word you said to me
From the moment I heard them
I knew you were mine
You said you were mine
I thought you were mine
Do you know what our Clanmates said
When they saw you return to the Clan?
They said, “Be careful with that one, love
“He will do what it takes to survive”
You and your words flooded my senses
Your sentences left me defenseless
You built me palaces out of paragraphs
You built cathedrals
I’m remembering the words you said to me
I’m searching and scanning for answers in every line
For some kind of sign
And when you were mine
The world seemed to burn
Burn
You published the letters she wrote you
You told the whole world
How you brought this girl into our nest
In clearing your name
You have ruined our lives
Do you know what our Clanmates said
When they heard what you’d done?
They said, “You’ve married an Icarus
“He has flown too close to the sun”
You and your words obsessed with your legacy
Your sentences border on senseless
And you are paranoid in every paragraph
How they perceive you
You, you, you!
I’m erasing myself from the narrative
Let future historians wonder how Nightcloud reacted
When you broke her heart
You have torn it all apart
I’m watching it burn
Watching it burn
The world has no right to my heart
The world has no place in our bed
They don’t get to know what I said
I’m burning the memories
Burning the letters that might have redeemed you
You forfeit all rights to my heart
You forfeit the place in our nest
You’ll sleep in your own den instead
With only the memories of when you were mine
I hope that you burn

This one just kind of makes sense. Nightcloud knew about Leafpool but she didn’t know about the kits. When she learned, she broke up with him and started hating him until Crowfeather’s Trial.

#5: Tigerheart/star x Dovewing
Okay so this song is for a pretty specific reason but I chose “Run Away to Mars” by TALK

Your color’s fading
‘Cause I kept you waiting
It’s a wild wild world
And you’re a wild wild tom
Our sun’s still shining
But it seems half the size
And it’s a wild wild world out here
Before my time runs out
What If I run away to Mars?
Would you find me in the stars?
Would you miss me in the end?
If I run out of oxygen?
When I run away to Mars
I can’t tell which way is home
I’ve been gone for so long
It’s an empty world up here
I skip stones and wonder
How long ’til I’m discovered?
It’s a quiet life up here
Before my time runs out
What If I run away to Mars?
Would you find me in the stars?
Would you miss me in the end?
If I run out of oxygen?
When I run away to Mars
Three, two, one, I miss you
I’m sorry I got issues
What If I run away to Mars?
Would you find me in the stars?
Would you miss me in the end?
If I run out of oxygen
When I run away to Mars

So I imagine Dovewing singing this after she’s run away to find the Guardian Cats. She’s wondering if Tigerheart would miss her and if he’ll find her since he abandoned her when she left in the first place. It makes sense for her to be thinking things like “will you miss me in the end, when I run out of oxygen” because she must be feeling kind of bad since he left her on her own. (Yes, I hate TigerXDove. I’m sorry if I’m sounding biased. I am)

That’s pretty much it from me! I hope you enjoyed this article, and thanks for taking the time to read it! I might do a part 2, but I’m not sure yet. Anyway thank you so much and may StarClan light your path!!!
