Song Lyric Prompts Saturday

[lizziec]

Yesterday's DPP was a confessional post and you all took the idea and ran with it. There's some really interesting secrets and some discussions that delve quite deeply in to characterisation and produced some really interesting meta-ish thoughts. The discussion is still going on over there, and there were new confessions coming in quite late last night/early this morning, so if you have time today please do pop back to that post and join in with the discussions and start new ones. It's been absolutely fascinating reading them.

Today's DPP is Song Lyric Prompts Saturday. This is absolutely not the same thing as song fic but rather an opportunity to use a line from a song as a prompt for some fic.

Rules:

• The prompts have to be a lyric from a song


• It would be nice, but not necessary, if you could include the artist/title in case someone wants to go and look up the song in question


• You don't have to include the lyric in your fic, just use it as a jumping off point, though you can include it if you feel it fits in


• There is no limit to the length of the fic


• The fics can be set in AU


• If your fic ends up being R or NC-17 rated then please show that in the comment title

I've envisaged this as a sort of all weekend thing, so please do keep checking back :) I'll post a couple of prompts to get you going :)


Dancing to some beautiful music

Eras tu, Merche.

i know that this an English comm and all but i;m in sort of a hurry and i couldn't find the English version of this at the moment. but this is the perfect song for them. i sort of cut a couple of the lyrics because it was a little to long.

Pienso que sabia que era su ultimo viaje
Cuántas despedidas por si no podía volver
No le falto ningún amigo, todos quisieron ser testigos

Recordando chistes como siempre te reías
No imaginamos que ya nunca volverías
Te nombramos tantas veces que te noto aquí
Dándome tu energía y regalando tu sonrisa

Eras tu quien me dio mas abrazos en los malos momentos
Quien guardaba mis grandes secretos
Y disfrutaba con solo ver me feliz

Nice. Since we're going Spanish, what about this one.
Limon y sal, Julieta Venegas
Tengo que confesar que a veces
no me gusta tu forma de ser
luego te me desapareces y no entiendo muy bien por qué
no dices nada romántico cuando llega el atardecer
te pones de un humor extraño con cada luna llena al mes.

Pero a a todo lo demás le gana lo bueno que me das
sólo tenerte cerca siento que vuelvo a empezar.

CORO:
Yo te quiero con limón y sal, yo te quiero tal y como estás,
no hace falta cambiarte nada,
yo te quiero si vienes o si vas,
si subes y bajas y
no estás seguro de lo que sientes.

Tengo que confesarte ahora
nunca creí en la felicidad
a veces algo se le parece, pero
es pura casualidad.

Luego me vengo a encontrar con tus ojos y me dan algo más
solo tenerte cerca siento
que vuelvo a empezar.
