Expanded Elemental Types of Music Tracks: Water type combinations

Examples of type combination songs with water as their primary type

Water fire

What sounds like flowy and watery music but about fire? Combining these two, especially in this order, is very difficult.

I See Fire (Kygo Remix) (Ed Sheeran).

Medivo (from 'Jazz Jackrabbit').

Water dark

This is meant to be watery song about a dark subject portrayed in a badass way. If it was too melancholy, it would reverse the order (to 'dark water' instead). So the combination of water dark is like this:-

Like Tears in Rain (Covenant).

Water fighting

Although the primary type here is water, these can be quite intense songs because of the fighting subject. Here are some examples:-

Thanatos (Skids).
