We all adored David Tennant and Michael Sheen in Good Omens, but maybe the music didn’t fit you. I don’t know why not, *insert Sid from Ice Age* “Somebody’s not a fan of the classics” but in that case, here are some picks that has Crowley’s edge and attitude, with Aziraphale’s Elegance and contemplative nature.
For Crowley:
· 1979 - Smashing Pumpkins
This song’s nostalgic and slightly melancholic rock sound perfectly captures Crowley's ancient existence and his wistful memories of a simpler time, before the stress of being an angel and a demon who likes each other.
· 1 Last Cigarette - The Band Camino
The song's title and cool, casual feel are a match for Crowley's rock & roll demeanor and his constant, laid back but intense attitude. It's the kind of song you can imagine him listening to in his Bentley while stuck in a traffic jam.
· 21 Guns - Green Day
This emotional rock anthem is for Crowley's big rebellion. It represents his struggle against his own side and his internal turmoil over his friendship with Aziraphale. It's the sound of a demon choosing a lost cause and standing by it.
For Aziraphale:
· 1901 - Phoenix
The sophisticated and elegant indie pop sound of this song feels like a soundtrack for Aziraphale's bookshop. It's got a timeless, European quality that fits his love for all things beautiful and old.
· 11 Miles - Songs of Water
This song title represents the distance Aziraphale has had to travel not just physically, but emotionally to get to where he is with Crowley. The gentle nature of the music fits his kind and thoughtful personality.
For Both:
· A-Punk - Vampire Weekend
This upbeat, quirky, and slightly chaotic song is a perfect theme for their dynamic. It captures their unique, almost-anarchist rebellion against their respective sides and the strange, energetic fun they have together as the world falls apart.
· Super Sad - Suki Waterhouse
This is the song for the core of their relationship, the deep, lonely sadness they both carry from their long existence, which only they can truly understand. It's the sound of their mutual support and the pain of being separated.
· 2AM - FOALS
This song is for their most desperate and frantic moments, like trying to save the world. It captures the high-stakes, urgent energy of their relationship and their panicked last-minute attempts to avert the apocalypse.
All these songs are great for the duo, although I recommend you give Nightingales another chance, at least give Queen props for Good Ol’ Fashioned Lover Boy. After all, the world's ending anyway. You might as well have a perfect soundtrack.
