Just curious, how do you guys choose/find the theme songs for your characters?

They usually just come to me. If I'm listening to a song and I find myself forming a character in my head, then boom. When I finish writing a character, geneally a certain song comes to mind for me.

Choosing a theme and finding a theme are two very different processes. As a musician, I tend to think of melodies on my own, it's just part of who I am. Sometimes I come up with themes on my own!
Sometimes I'm not in the mood to write stuff, or maybe there's something out there that will fit better. Before I even get to this point, however, I really need to understand my character. I like run different scenarios in my mind of what my character could potentially encounter. If there are too many instances where I question the actions of my character, then I need to do more fine tuning. I believe finding a theme song can be part of learning how to understand your character, but in most cases, I find this to be later in the ball game.
When it comes to finding songs, I use YouTube or I write it myself. (>
