jukebox_festWelcome to Jukebox 2018! This is a fanworks gift exchange in which art, fic, and podfic is created about songs and music videos.
Canon nominations will occur during 20-30 March this year. You can nominate 7 songs or music videos (plus potential bonus round, see below). The rules about what can be nominated can be found here and haven't changed from last year.
Please use this post or its LiveJournal equivalent to discuss what you're thinking of nominating! See also the past brainstorming tag.

Bonus nominations round
At the end of nominations, if I have enough time, I will ask for further nominations suggestions - these must be for songs & music videos that were nominated in previous years. This is in addition to your 7 nominations.
Sign-ups changes
I am making two changes to sign-ups this year.
First, requests will be visible throughout the sign-up period.
Second, I am enabling the optional details field in the Offers section of the sign-up. These details will be visible only to me and you - not to other participants. You can use this field to give me further information about your matching preferences, if you want. You don't have to use this field. I will read and make note of your preferences but may not be able to follow them - my first priority is to ensure that everyone has a recipient based on the fandoms and media they have offered.

Je danse avec les dieux
lyrics & transl
It's a happy song, and I'm on a I-need-happiness kick right now. It feels like an "I've acheved victory after a long battle!" song, and I'm drawn to the whole dancing with the wind thing, and "I draw the universe as I please".
Stardust - Delain
lyrics
Bring me to life / Bring me the starlight / Bring me the sun and moon / Release this star tonight – and now I'm thinking about a science fiction generation ship thingy and also necromancy. The song itself is beautiful, and considerably less dark than the lyrics.
Into the Heart of Danger - Battle Beast
lyrics
A straightforwardish power-up you-can-do-it anthem, though stuff like "you get stronger every time you fall" gives interesting hooks for some sort of adaptive programming cyborg.
Far Far Away - Battle Beast
lyrics
Another uplifting one! I think it's about wanderlust plus success? In any case, roaming to "where no man has gone before" and becoming a legend who rewrites history. I love how confident the narrator sounds.
Dragons - Stratovarius
lyrics
Another defiance power-up anthem! This one's begging for a literal interpretation of the dragons dragging "you" to the ground – actual dragons vs someone who can also fly? IDK.
