I find it to be a fun passtime, pondering just what kind of music would accompany characters in a variety of situations; What kind of music would fit them as a theme?
So, I thought I would make a thread on it!
Go on, post songs! How would you describe your character in musical terms? What would play in any situation you can imagine them being in?

For Siobhan: Siuil a Run. It's got the pretty, sentimental feel, and lyric significance, especially the chorus.

The most in-character song lyrics-wise of off the top of my head would be Iron Maiden's Rime of the Ancient Mariner, but I imagine in his off-time Barselaar would listen to something like this.

I can't find anything that really reflects the Cats and Parabola aspects of my character, but the other side of their coin is easy.
Like all the Navy Absimiliard is a creature of tradition -- but more so than most. Fellow officers in the Navy describe them as "... much better suited to the days of Wooden Ships and Iron Men."

Drunk on Skin by Clare Fader fits Sybil quite nicely, I think. And I'll throw in Rosin Coven's Bittersweet as well, just because the dark cabaret atmosphere works so well for her.

I don't have any specific themes for either, yet, but this up Valencia's theme while trying to destroy the Great Game in London. It's also where her quote on her profile page comes from.

Miss Ludlow loves to do silly things. Whenever she is nanty narking, investigating crimes and bothering the Duchess, "Murder, she wrote" plays in my head. But there is also a time of prayer and reflection, which "Miserere" fits quite nicely.

I personally pick "The World is Not Enough" by Garage for Dirae Erinyes - though I suspect that song is pretty much the theme of every POSI character.
Also "Hammers in my Head" by Miracle of Sound. Good for Dirae Erinyes general perspective on life and probably for other dangerous oriented characters as well.

Let me see... The Professor's themes are Beethoven for when she is remembering her past, Mozart for when she is doing smart things and whatever played in Tom & Jerry cartoons (ie, classical music that we think is funny just because we associated them with cartoons) for the rest of the time.

Pinned two songs, one for Professor Strix and another for Derek. Both are Brazilian songs, so I'll provide the translation in the spoiler:
Prof.: "Flowers" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nB53snE5Go
Derek: "Abandoned Major": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCIevU6KLQg
[spoiler]
Flowers
I've stared until I got tired
of looking at my eyes in the mirror
I've cried because I destroyed
the blooms in the flowerbed
The wrists and the fists are cut
As my whole body
There are flowers climbing the roof
And under my pillow
There are flowers all around me
There are flowers in everything I see
The pain will cure those griefs
Blood tastes like tears
The flowers smell like death
Pain will cure those cuts
Flowers!
Flowers!
Plastic flowers don't die.
Abandoned Major
I am lost
with no parents
Right in your front door
I am asking
Your hand
And a bit of your arm
Crumbs from your yesterday bread
Leftovers
Interest me
Small portions of illusions
Sincere lies interest me
They interest me
I am asking
For your hand
Take me anywhere
Give a bit
Of protection
To the abandoned major
Your body with or without love
Leftovers interest me
Love me like a brother
Sincere lies interest me
They interest me
Crumbs from your yesterday bread
Leftovers
Interest me
Small portions of illusions
Sincere lies interest me
They interest me
I am asking
For your hand
Take me anywhere
Give a bit
Of protection
To the abandoned major

I may have given this far too much thought over time.
Lord William's score is in two parts, both by the amazing band The Protomen. Whilst choosing a band that's primary work is a rock opera loosely based on the Megaman games might seem odd, their music is fitting and incredibly emotive, and just fantastic in general.
On the discovery of the murder of his daughter, and the subsequent heartbreak and depression
On his time in the Neath, and his pursuit of his quarry, the murderer of his daughter.

For Eglantine, seductive mode: Bedroom Hymns, Florence + The Machine.
For who they are underneath the acts, Evgeny Emelyanov's Rin. Graceful, kind of melancholy in places sound, feels like it's reaching for something.
