The Unofficial American Gothic Soundtrack


Merlyn Temple:
Many of these songs, or their lyrics, sound far from angelic. But then I can tell you from my own experience, bein' angelic all the time isn't easy at all. And at least the people who wrote these songs are much less lousy poets than Lucas.

Since it seems improbable that the music of American Gothic will ever be released, the Gothniks have become active themselves! We have put our virtual heads together and collected a list of songs that, in our humble opinion, would absolutely belong an an American Gothic Soundtrack. So here I present to you

A BIG THANK YOU goes to my co-inmates at Juniper House (aka Catacombs aka American Gothic Message Forum, may it rest in peace) who worked with me on this collection: vet2b, Lazypunker, Sammantha Goode, Ned, Jay Allen, Craig Puckett, Niuta, Persephone. SPECIAL THANKS to Liz for her crucial advice!

Of course new additions are always welcome - send me an e-mail including artist, title, and lyrics, as well as which album the song can be found on. Please don't forget to mention which theme, character or episode you think this song is especially fit for.

The songs are arranged by theme, character, or episode.
