I've heard Lana Del Ray's version of "Once Upon a Dream" from Maleficent. I'm not sure if her voice is really what I'd expect as the singing voice of the Lady of the Green Kirtle (a little too modern, maybe?), but it would still be really neat to hear her sing a song from the LotGK's perspective. That could be a great credits song.
(Now I want somebody to make a Rilian and LotGK fan video with that rendition of "Once Upon a Dream" playing in the background. )
I would love to hear Joy Williams (from The Civil Wars) sing the credits song. She has an incredible voice and a very unique, haunting tone to her voice. I think she'd be great.
I must be pretty late, haha, but I would like to see someone like Cécile Corbel doing the SC credits song. She made the main song to Studio Ghibli's Arrietty and all the soundtrack too, which is definitely amazing, not to mention her voice, she's really a wonderful artist. I like Agnes Obel too, she have a great and mysterious voice that I think must fit with the Narnia vibe, maybe, and I like her lyrics. Another one that I really like and think that would be the perfect choice among these three is Priscilla Ahn. She's amazing, totally amazing, and she have this delicate and comfy voice and familiar atmosphere. She made a song for When Marnie Was There, another Ghibli movie, "Fine On The Outside", and I think she would be a good choice. I think she would do a great job creating something for Narnia.
By the way, I finally create courage to join the forum. ^u^

Welcome to NarniaWeb forum, Lake Lachrymose! Those are some really neat suggestions. I looked them up on YouTube and all three are very talented. Priscilla Ahn is my favorite; she has such a pretty voice. I can imagine her doing a song for The Silver Chair, especially from the perspective of Jill Pole.
Thank you so much, The Rose-Tree Dryad!!
Yes, she is! She writes some beautiful lyrics and I think she could be able to capture the feelings of The Silver Chair or, more specifically, of Jill.

I'm hoping to hear Broods at the end credits of a Narnia film. They're a new up and coming band from New Zealand. They are worth listening to.
Long Live King Caspian & Queen Liliandil Forever!
Jill+Tirian! Let there be Jilrian!
DamselJillPole, I searched for them on youtube, they are good! I liked Mother & Father, it's a great song! I can see them doing something for Narnia. Maybe we can be lucky again and they decide to do what they did in PC and LWW, putting various artists together?

I think a new original Owl City would be a lot of fun to have running during the credits.

I don't know enough artists to really recommend one... I like the ideas of Celtic or Nordic style and having someone unknown perform.

":33sxabjs]I think a new original Owl City would be a lot of fun to have running during the credits.
I think an Adam Young song could work with Narnia, but not an Owl City song. I don't think synths and Narnia would be a good mix. Maybe he could resurrect Sky Sailing for one more song...
What about Il Divo? I love their music.
Loreena McKennitt.
That is my humble opinion.
I would love if they could get Hanne Hukkelberg back because I really liked her song called Lucy. But, I understand that would mostly likely not happen. Celtic music sounds good and but, I think it would good to stray away from any Bagpipes used in the music and instead use all string instruments. I also like Imogean Heap, and although, her song 2-1 did not make it into the Prince Caspian soundtrack, I feel that if given another chance she could write a song.
While I don't know if this is a possibility for the SC credits song (they're usually from bigger names, aren't they?), I saw something interesting in the comments section of the most recent news item about SC... people were asking about where Douglas Gresham had gotten the t-shirt he was wearing in the update video, and it turned out to be a promotional item for a music album that Douglas Gresham produced. This comment was left by the music label in response to the questions:
We’re so thrilled by all the interest in Meg’s shirts that we’ve made them available for you (click on our name in this comment’s header). Normally these are for her shows only, but we couldn’t resist putting them up for fans of Narniaweb. We’d also recommend checking out her album ("Courage, Dear Heart") which Doug was executive producer for (and *may* get some traction on the new film…[hint, hint, hint]). Thanks for all your support! – Victoria / @MySprigMusic
Looks like there might possibly be a Meg Sutherland song somewhere on The Silver Chair soundtrack! (After so much time in between news items about SC, even a tiny little hint about a song for the movie is nice to hear. ) Meg wrote two Narnia-inspired songs for "Courage, Dear Heart" ("Doug's Story" and "Real"), and I found a video of her on YouTube singing "Chandelier" by Sia:
I like her voice; there's a nice rawness and fragility to it. I can definitely imagine her singing a song from Jill's perspective.
Awesome, The Rose-Tree Dryad! Nice done! I also liked her and this is a light on the issue and all the "mysteries" that are surrounding the production of TSC! Can I use share this to a brazilian fansite? Or it's too early to do it?
