I like making playlists on my ipod for all of my favourite characters from all kinds of media. Sometimes the songs don't fit the characters and are just there to capture the symbolism from objects, animals or magic used in the film. I've made a playlist for a few of the Princesses and it's time I shared them with you. I'll add lyrics that I think relates to them the most.
Snow White is up first.
Symbolism: Spring, love, The Prince's castle, apples, birds (especially the blushing dove), gothic
Earth Angel by Llewellyn & Juliana
-Snow's sweet child-like but motherly personality towards everyone she meets and how they love her. Except of course for the pure evil and vain Wicked Queen.

She is an Earth Angel and she flies
In and out of our lives
She is an Earth Angel and she knows
Wherever she goes
She fills up our hearts
Touching us with love
Helping us to grow
Dimension of Love from Tenchi Universe by Kit
-Snow White thinking about The Prince and a glance into the future when she's in a death-like state and he's been searching for a year to find her.
I can't find this song in English on Youtube so here is the original Japanese version: link
Soon, with the start of Spring
We'll know our hearts are changing
Leave the hurt behind
I'll be true and kind
Be the best you'll ever find
Enough of wandering far and wide
I just can't forget you though I've tried
This is destiny so why pretend
Close your eyes kiss me once again
I'll always be the only one you need
So go where your deepest longing leads
Songbird by Eva Cassidy
- Snow White safe from harm with the birds keeping her company. Remembering when she met The Prince in the Courtyard and seeing the dove blushing.

To you, I'd never be cold
'Cause I feel that when I'm with you
It's alright, I know it's right
And the songbirds are singing
Like they know the score
And I love you, I love you
I love you like never before
It's the Fear by Within Temptation
-Snow White running through the forest.
link
It's the fear,
The fear of the dark
It's growing inside of me
They won, they will come to life
Have to save,
Save my beloved,
There is no escaping
Because my fate is horror and doom
Snow White is up first.
