Light type combinations

Examples of type combination songs with light as their primary type


 Light fire

 Quite a specialised combination which is hardly used or explored at all. Examples:-

 Lava Shelter (Jun Senoue).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EguvUh3TvGU

 Route 225 (TPCi).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=br6oUG6a0jQ
Light dark

 One of the most contradictory combinations. This way round, it means light / shiny music with a dark / badass subject. There are some great examples:-

 Everybody Wants to Rule the World (Tears for Fears).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGCdLKXNF3w&t=35

 2Shy (Shura).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gtREooYQ9w

 Head Over Heels (Tears for Fears).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CsHiG-43Fzg

 Standing Stones (009 Sound System).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mo6GqcQ5aGw

 Forest of Shadows (TPCi).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dPU38-4S1M
Light fighting

 This combination is possibly the most intense (literally) and also contains some songs which can induce "battle trance" if listened to. Additionally, it is so hyper effective against sadness or darkness that it can easily wipe out the deepest of despair. Examples:-

 Shah Shah a Go Go (The Stranglers).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tX_IPiThjwI

 MacPherson's Rant (The Corries).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4pJBQxEA0Q

 Trainer Battle 4 (TPCi).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtzPna9yFjg
Light earth

 One of the most positive combinations. This also contains a relative diversity and is well-explored by music artists. Examples:-

Sweet Harmony (The Beloved).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-AcuIOFmIs

Empire State Human (The Human League).

Fogger (Frank Klepacki).

YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0n8wDof4c5Q

 Utopia (Goldfrapp).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUB7e3BtnvU

 Spacer (Sheila & B Devotion).

Cool Operator (Jonathan Peros).
Bandcamp Link: https://jonathanperos.bandcamp.com/track/cool-operator
Light ceramic

 This includes lots of Scottish Ceilidh music (when done with the correct instruments), but other aspects of this combination have been much less explored. I have included only two examples here to show the possible diversity it could contain:-

 Orcadian Polkas (John Ellis and his High Country Band).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Qoos56wjxQ

 In the Night Garden Theme.
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQ5ku4z1pjs&t=49
Light oil

 One of the most relaxing. In terms of competition, this is the best defensive combination (as well as oil light), since it is immune to many other types of music.

 Simple things (Zero 7).
