I Need Song Suggestions For Discord and Luna Duet and Other

[Secretive 16]

I've been rewriting lyrics to make songs lately (I normally never write lyrics... this is weird). I have six in as many days. I have a couple of ideas for the themes of my next pieces, but don't know what songs to put them to.

 

 

Discord and Luna Duet: The scene is a confrontation between the two of them, set during his awakening in Season 2 (episode 2?). He mocks Luna, commenting how the two of them are similar (ala Nightmare Moon). Luna argues against this.

 

Currently, I think I can manage it with Devil Take the Hindmost from Love Never Dies. However, if someone can think of an even better song I'm happy to hear it (I considered one from the second Secret of Nym movie).

 

 

Nightmare Moon's Return: From the perspective of Nightmare Moon (and possibly Luna too), just before and or during her escape.

 

My first thought is Be Prepared from The Lion King. I can work out the words for it, but I wonder if there's anything more dramatic (I can make it more dramatic than it is, but still...). Of course, I could use In the Dark of the Night from Anastasia, which is notably more dramatic and fitting (if I can't change enough of the words, it'd seem pointless). Ooh! Or I could use Till I Hear You Sing from Love Never Dies!

 

 

Nightmare Moon Confronts Celestia: A second confrontation between Nightmare Moon and Celestia would be a pleasure to write.

 

Currently, I'm thinking of using Beneath a Moonless Sky also from Love Never Dies, with heavily modified lyrics.

 

 

Celestia Comforts Luna, Luna Brings the Night: After Nightmare Moon is dealt with, a song where Celestia reassures Luna would be awesome. Luna's first time raising the moon and brining the night, in over a thousand years. This might be placed before or after the duet with Discord.

 

For it, I'm thinking of a reprise of Music of the Night from Phantom of the Opera, which was used by Nightmare Moon to tempt Luna.

 

 

 

If you can think of any better examples I could use for any of those premises, I'd be happy to listen to them.

 

If anyone has other dramatic settings for songs, I might be interested in writing lyrics for them. I've currently been working to fill all the gaps in the tale of Celestia and Luna (including one for Discord's reign, Nightmare Moon's seduction, Nightmare Moon's reign, and certain solo by Luna, all of which are already written).

 

 

Thank you for taking the time to read or glance this. I appreciate any help which can be given.
