My dear friends, if you think I have gone off the deep end with this character, well...you're half right. True enough, I am absolutely obsessed with this character, his wit, his intellect, his mischievous ways...
It has done nothing but intrigued me the first time I saw him in the movie. I know I speak so much of him, he's practically coming out of my ear holes (quote by Tom, the actor who portrayed him). It's just, I find so much in common with him, when I saw him appear for the first time and the last time before he disappeared away in the movie, he captivated my attention and ignited back this part of me that has been dormant since high school, I guess...
Anyways, this is a fanmix done by another person in the Net that my friend showed me recently. It's pretty cool, the songs that were included in here. Most of them are pretty familiar, and in a way....it does describe a part of Loki in the show. And this guy who made this Tumblr page, is practically another Loki/Tom Hiddleston fan like me. So yeah...Awesome.
So this is the list of songs:
01. I Just Can’t Wait To Be King - Elton John/Tim Rice (This one is so cute...)
02. Superman (It’s Not Easy) - Five For Fighting (This one suits Loki very well!)
03. Boulevard of Broken Dreams - Green Day (I love this choice of song for him!)
04. Marching On - OneRepublic
05. After the Storm - Mumford and Sons
06. Teeth - Lady Gaga
07. Never Say Never - The Fray
08. Get It Right - Lea Michele (Btw, GOOD SONG CHOICE HERE)
09. Fighter - Christina Aguilera
10. Going Under - Evanescence
11. Go The Distance - Michael Bolton (Song of confidence for him...)
12. Running Up That Hill - Placebo
13. Apologize - OneRepublic (Yes, you heard that...all those people who betrayed him!)
14. Nature of Inviting - IAMX
15. Iris - Devi Hlavinka
Oh, if you want to download the fanmix, I think you can find the link for that in the Tumblr page...
Now, I haven't heard all of the songs yet...But I'm hoping to add these few songs into the mix too. It's something I think suits him as well. Let me see...
16. Rolling In The Deep - Adele
REASON: Loki finally sees the light of truth that he was not what he had thought he had been. His anger was targeted at Odin for keeping the pain-staking truth from him.
17. Not Ready To Make Nice - Dixie Chicks
REASON: Well, I know that this song was written over a controversy faced by the group but the chorus of the song reflects Loki in a manner that shows how he's not ready to make nice, he's not ready to back down..He's genuinely still mad as hell that he faced such a difficult thing, the truth.
18. King Of Anything - Sara Bareilles
REASON: Yes, this is perhaps a parody of Loki deviously mocking at Thor..Who made you king of anything, brother? Father sure didn't!
19. Over My Head (Cable Car) - The Fray
REASON: If you did make your research in the meaning of this song, you'll realize it is about two brothers, who were at odds and not speaking to each other. Well, as the song goes...everyone knows I'm in over my head...Think that in a way, Loki's singing that to Thor. Perhaps, feeling sorry...
20. Fallen - Sarah McLachlan
REASON: Well, this song mostly pops out especially during the scene Loki releases his grip and decides to fall into eternity. It was suggested by my friend, which I have to say....Extremely good choice.
21. Set Fire To The Rain - Adele
REASON: Yes, another Adele song has to be mentioned as Adele is like Queen of sad love songs at the moment. This song was sung with the emotions of a scorned and hurt lover. Although it does not explain Loki's predicament, it had the same emotional feeling that could explain Loki's thoughts after his betrayal by those he had loved.
22. Candles - Hey Monday
REASON: Surprising choice? Yes, I have to say so but this was suggested by a good friend of mine. I know it's not exactly fitting, but come on. It's like in this predicament, you see Loki feeling all alone when once before, he was surrounded by family and friends. "Looks like a solo tonight.." Not befitting, you say?
23. Make You Mad - Becca
REASON: Okay, this was also suggested by a friend, a song that was particularly a bit too noisy for me but she did suggest this song. So, since I think of her as 'mentally married to Loki', I think she would know better than me as to what choice of songs to fit her husband well. (Lol, I think I'm in trouble now...)
Okay...I know there SHOULD totally be more songs to define Loki. I know there SHOULD be more songs out there. Why? Because he deserves it. So I'm sure I will update this list once I know MORE songs to add. But for now, these are the songs...I present to you.
Yes, yes. As you see, more and more songs are added into this wonderful playlist. If by chance, you find yourself also able to suggest a song, I do encourage you very badly to tell me all about the song/songs.
Surprisingly, the same person who made the first playlist have actually created another one too! So here it is...
28. What Hurts The Most - Rascal Flatts
REASON: Is this a good song? Somehow listening to it I can imagine Loki in it. Perhaps not exactly the perfect choice but nice song to listen to, nonetheless.
29. Disturbia - Rihanna
REASON: Is this a weird song for Loki? *chuckles* Anyways...it's like it's talking about Loki, his mind being in a disturbia. Hmmm...
30. First Cut Is The Deepest - Shania Twain
REASON: Baby, I know...the first cut is the deepest and who felt it worse than you? Nobody, I'm sure. And don't worry, Loki...you're not cursed. You will be loved. (Hey, this sounds so similar to a song by Maroon 5!)
31. Your Love Is A Lie - Simple Plan
REASON: Need any more description? Odin, your love is a big lie!
32. Goodbye - Spice Girls
REASON: Alright, I'm sort of taking this out of context but this song reminds me of how Loki and Thor says goodbye to their close brothers relationship. Telling each other goodbye to that close bond they had as brothers. Please do not think otherwise.
33. Through The Barricades - Spandau Ballet
REASON: Again, another song out of context...I thought of this song signifying how Loki felt about breaking the bond between him and Thor as brothers. Please do not ask me why both of them should really be together always, but I really wished they were always together and not in opposite sides.
34. Meant To Live - Switchfoot
REASON: This is at the situation where I hoped would feel like, he was meant to live for more than he is. He aspires to be more than just a second hand for his brother. Just to state it out, I don't really approve of Loki trying to stand out if that meant joining the bad side but I know for a fact, he is definitely meant to live for more!
35. Everybody Hurts - The Corrs (originally R.E.M.)
REASON: Loki, everybody hurts sometimes. But please hold on, because I know you will. Especially after the movie has come out, even if there seem to be more people loving your brother, the truth is...more people are also backing you up now. So, know that there are people out there who will support you. (Hahahha, I cannot imagine I just said that about a fictional character!)
Alright, alright...I'm pretty sure I took a lot of songs out of context just for Loki. I apologize first if you find it really inappropriate but I do my best. It's not often that I find so much to dedicate myself to a certain character, but if there is a chance Loki (from the movie, from the Marvel universe) really does exist, I do hope that he knows if he really finds himself being so hurt and wants to find a friend, my shoulder is here ready to do his bidding (mostly for crying on, yeah).
Perhaps I may have more songs, Just stay tuned for new updates.

Surprisingly, the same person who made the first playlist have actually created another one too! So here it is...
01. Many Rivers to Cross - Annie Lennox
02. New Divide - Linkin Park (Good choice, although I kinda think it's a vague choice)
03. When It All Falls Apart - The Veronicas
04. Sundrenched World - Joshua Radin
05. What Do I Have To Do? - Stabbing Westward
06. Crying Lightning - Arctic Monkeys
07. Be Prepared - Jeremy Irons
08. Judas - Lady GaGa (Surprisingly, I was wondering if this would fit Loki too. Then I realized it suited those fangirls better, saying how they loved the bad guy more...)
09. Off I Go - Greg Laswell
10. Awake My Soul - Mumford and Sons
Wow, this girl is amazing. I honestly salute her, for being so dedicated with her passion for Loki. It made my life easier and I got to discover new songs at the same time. By the way, just to clarify, the girl I'm talking about isn't the same girl that I mentioned about being 'mentally married to Loki'. This girl is the one that made the first fanmix.
Anyways, I have some songs to add into the mix too. Lemme see..
24. Who I Am - David Archuleta
REASON: Obviously, it's weird to add an Archuleta song into the mix but this song talked about the idea of taking time off to finally discovered about himself. I just felt that, perhaps this would fit Loki who honestly needed some time to find out who he is and why is he in the universe now.
25. The Other Side - Rachael Yamagata
REASON: Firstly, I apologize to Chester if he finds it oddly insulting to associate this goddess of everything lyrical (in his words) with the god of mischief but I do hope he knows how it really does suit him, in a way. Loki's finally found out the truth about his past and he feels he's now on the other side from where he used to be. Even though the lyrics of the song doesn't exactly describe Loki's situation with his brother, but I find the melody and the tone of song reflected how Loki would have felt, being now separated from his brother, the one he grew up with.
Well, to be truthful I find Rachael Yamagata's songs to really suit the melancholic feelings that I think Loki feels throughout the entire movie. Even though the lyrics for the song doesn't exactly suit his situation, her tone really really touched the sadness Loki felt. I know I'm looking past his sadistic side, but it is true. It's god-darn true that Loki feels this pain within him that bores so deep.
26. Over And Over - Rachael Yamagata
REASON: This song was one of my favourites from her. The melancholy you feel even from her repeating the word 'over' and associating it with the visuals of rain falling...I could not stop listening to this song last time when I first heard it, all credits to my pal Chester who first introduced her to me.
27. Because Of You - Kelly Clarkson
REASON: Yes, she wrote it about her father. I know. Does this fit with Loki and Odin's situation then? To me, yes. I blame Odin's extremely horrible parenting skills for turning Loki to who he is now. So if there's any song to put all the blame on Odin, I'd totally support it.
28. What Hurts The Most - Rascal Flatts
REASON: Is this a good song? Somehow listening to it I can imagine Loki in it. Perhaps not exactly the perfect choice but nice song to listen to, nonetheless.

Wow, I am flattered to have my suggestion featured. (: Thank you! Haha it's nice to read your reasoning behind the song choices too.
Of course, my friend. It is always a pleasure to garner advice from others as well. You never know when you need them or would it be useful.
It should be I who should thank you. And thank you for your kind words as well.
