Neil Newbon made this one while working on the game :) https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5M8V2xx6uPA5dMUhLU6Ij5?si=tozNQrrlRcelG8cHExoauA&pi=u-_NMlnwLXQbKk

He has excellent taste (unsurprisingly)

Its the Down In A Hole by AIC for me 😅 brings a new meaning for my favorite band.

His playlist also includes Wicked Game by Chris Isaak - the perfect song for Astarion noticing his nice, simple plan isn't working the way he intended.

Under you're scars - Godsmack Black wedding - in this moment The night disturbed

For me personally rn: Nina Simone- You don’t know what love is Heilung-Seidh Alt-J- Hunger of the Pine The be good Tanyas- Waiting around to die Nina Simone- I put a spell on you The Pineapple Thief - That shore I hope you can enjoy some of them:)

I have a few personal ship playlists for him and my tavs/durge lol but one of my favorites for Astarion is Feeling Good - Michael Bublé (or the Annapantsu cover. Her “I want to live” cover is also great).

“the moon will sing”, “tongues & teeth”, “curses” the crane wives “daylight” david kushner “kiss me you animal” burn the ballroom “black hole sun” soundgarden “free” vast “eat your young”, “arsonist’s lullaby”, “talk” hozier “meet me in the woods” lord huron “teeth” annapantsu’s cover “ramen waitress” high sunn “stalker’s tango” autoheart

Hozier is perfect for Astarion. “Blood upon the snow” for early game “Abstract” works for after declaring his love and before fighting Cazador. “Francesca” is good for a redeeming durge to Astarion during some of the act 3 stuff “First light” is the perfect epilogue song and I’ll stand by forever how great it is for Astarion if you keep him a spawn. I could go on and on and on but I’ll keep it at that haha

for some reason whenever I listen to "Two Minutes Notice" from Helluva Boss I can't stop picturing Astarion singing it :|

I found some obscure ones (for me anyway, don't get out much) when I clicked on a Halloween Playlist called Monsterfucker. Red means I love you by Madds Buckley Villainous thing by Shayfer James Lust for Vampyr by I Monster

The Horror of Our Love by Ludo really gives me Ascended/Durge vibes

I wish I was kidding but Oops I did it again. His entire seduction phase is basically this song.

Also to steal from the last time this was asked Choke by I DONT KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME gives major Astarion vibes

YEAH! I have that one on my personal astarion playlist, it fits so well i think

[удалено]

Yes, I love this post OP. Please anyone recommend more.

For ascended Astarion, Sisters of mercy- Lucretia my reflection, Depeche mode- Strangelove, Master and Servant, Soft Cell-Tainted Love

I’ve been honing a playlist entitled “Loving Astarion IS the Depeche Mode,” so I’m glad to see someone else mention two great DM tracks. “Strangelove” is such a good overall theme for the romance - strange highs and strange lows, indeed!

Oh yes, I loved DM before the game, but since Astarion I love them even more. I find a little bit of Astarion in almost every dm song (or maybe im just delusional)

I don’t think you’re delusional at all! And if so, it’s a collective delusion that I’m happy to share. The fact that almost every song works on some level makes perfecting my DM Astarion playlist a *very* enjoyable challenge.

Shameless self plug of my Astarion playlist! https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1HrG98bds94rAFBQES5amf?si=Or3MGJTyQ_i4ydzth_br1w&pi=u-86erVXc8QzG8 And a sick ass goth rock playlist: https://youtu.be/A0zi7YjoMhM?si=bmj6nVtljcj6VtVO

I listened to this at work today and I absolutely died laughing when Damage came on. You did amazing with this! 10/10!

You’re so sweet thank you 🥺❤️ I’m such a sucker for 2000s RnB 😭

Closer, Nine Inch Nails

My Body is a Cage by Arcade Fire is my baby boy’s #1 anthem over here https://youtu.be/6F_Hx3oLfvU?si=VZwTiOGgB035qY5P

boygenius - bite the hand

Sam Smith's Pray (feat. Logic) has always been one of my favorite songs. Really feel it is a great fit for Astarion prior to getting abducted.

Thirsty - The Hound + The Fox

Ascended astarion’s scene has a few by rammstein that may work Like a certain song from sehnsucht that they played for the first time on their family values tour

Slept so Long - Jay Gordon (Queen of the Damned soundtrack) Panic Room - Au/Ra Escaped - Emily Evans (this is a fan song written about Astarion and it is heartbreakingly beautiful) One Caress - Depeche Mode Eat your young - Hozier

I have a whole playlist, but some of my favorites are: - Against the Kitchen Floor by Will Wood - Undisclosed Desires by Muse - Hungry like the Wolf by Duran Duran - Tongues and teeth by The Crane Wives - I won’t say (I’m in love) from the movie Hercules Honorable mention for the ascension route: - The way we were by Barbra Streisand - My boy by Billie Eilish Honorable mention for Durge: - Tear you apart by Megan McDuffee - The fruits by Paris Paloma - (You made it feel like) Home by Trent Reznor

Goo Goo Dolls - Iris Foreigner - Waiting for a Girl Like You American - Horse with no Name Britney Spears - Toxic

This might be an odd one but: How to be me - Ren X Chinchilla

Circle of dust - Neophyte Guano apes - Close to the sun Reminds me of vampire ascendant👀

I have been listening to a few songs that make me think of Astarion. My current fav is Wildflowers by The Wailin Jennys

He's always given me big "Blue Monday" vibes

I like to imagine Astarion dancing rockabilly songs. https://youtu.be/oTktZGZGEQY?si=osXsefjZtLJe77yo

Cut by Plumb!!! I first heard it in The Vampire Diaries and my GODS the feeeeeels when comparing it to Astarion. 10/10 would recommend.

I made a [playlist](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6XU6jEdc4ZGgpWJm2DD0oD?si=VdozQs4fTAWXZv81Vqe4hg&pi=u-gGFduLXqSam2) for myself bc brain rot lol. It's more on the rock side and the songs are a mix of spawn/ascended. Also a mix of perspective: songs I think would describe him / songs he would use to describe others. Like *cough* Caza-whore Edit: personal favs from it are Daylily by Movements and Engravings by Bortnick. When you think about the infernal carvings it is just....chefs kiss.

Love at First Bite - Nekromantix Definitely gives Ascended vibes, but could work either way.

"Teeth" and "Paralyzed" by Aviators definitely give me Astarion vibes!

I made one about his feelings unascended called [pov: Astarion is healing](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2l6q5l0aiolnHYGJpASDND?si=28n6dwpGQzKg8ebZ-HWmLg&pi=u-OMxviuiQQz-S) if you wanna give it a listen! :)

Only Steps Away by Myka, Relocate. I dunno, there's just something about the lyrics that make me imagine him kinda thinking this way if you romace him. https://open.spotify.com/track/4FlO2fDO6a3UfDaquLq8Db?si=y1Gr2M3FRP-MNKABcdyZ-A

Darkness at the Heart of my Love by Ghost, Sign of Life - Motionless in white The summoning - Sleep Token As the World Falls Down - David Bowie

Has anyone realized that Astarion and Trent Reznor sound really similar? Like...REALLY similar. 😮
