A while ago, I wrote a post about songs that sound like they were written for fictional characters. Today, I thought I'd continue that theme, and invite some audience participation.
In the other post, the song I referenced was "The Tower" by Vienna Teng, which is absolutely perfect for the protagonist of "My Fugitive". You can listen to it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCTd8AgWnG4
This time, I found some songs that work bizarrely well for a trio of "Farscape" characters. Some may consider these song/character matches to contain spoilers for Season 3, so I'll put them after the 'read more' break.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOGop_P1JFE This is called "Not Like You", by Hannah Fury.
It reminds me of the relationship between John and Harvey, from Harvey's point of view. The first verse doesn't fit so well, but the rest makes me think of the newly-stranded neuroclone's state of complete isolation and existential angst.

Despite the delicate vocals and soft piano, it seems oddly fitting for the relationship between John and Scorpius, this time from Scorpius' perspective. Some of the verses are just so perfect, aside from the obvious pronoun problem.
"She might fool them, but she don't fool me" ("That man... he is an impostor. Seize him.")
"And I asked her to take my hand, I asked her to please understand" (The whole Incubator episode.)
"She causes destruction wherever she goes" (How many times does John try to steal something WITHOUT ending up blowing up the entire building/ship?)
So strangely fitting.

OK, now it's your turn.
Can you think of a song that would be absolutely perfect for a character, or a relationship between two characters? I'd love to hear about it. Post your character/relationship/song matches in the comments section below.
