Daily Pilots Post: No need to wonder what's been on my mind... it's you

[eugis.livejournal.com]

...or "Five times Lee Adama was thinking of Kara Thrace (in the form of a song)"

Cookies if you get the lyrics. ;)



"I remember it well
The first time that I saw
Your head around the door
'Cause mine stopped working"


"I don't want to be your friend
I just want to be your lover
No matter how it ends
No matter how it starts"


"But it's not forever
But it's just tonight
Oh we're still the greatest
The greatest
The greatest
You
Your sex is on fire
You
Your sex is on fire"


"So fuck you
And all we've been through
I said leave it
It's nothing to you
And if you hate me
Then hate me so good that you can let me out
Let me out of this hell when you're around"


"Don't disappear
Darlin', I want you
Don't leave me here
And when the day comes
I'll meet you here
'Cause I know that wishes come true
Finding my way back to you"


Help me with Kara's Five Times!

For your consideration:
And you'll never know dear
Just how much I loved you
You'll probably think this was
Just my big excuse
But I stand committed
To a love that came before you
And the face that I adore you
Is just one of my truths

Can't find the cap I wanted, but I was thinking something from the flashbacks. That or an EoJ cap. Maybe this one:

Love that first pic of Lee. Where's it from?

[shelsci.livejournal.com]

Daybreak..flashback where Lee and Kara meet for the very first time. That was his face the very first time he saw Kara. Awww....

[leeloo86.livejournal.com]

well the first and the fourth are Damein Rice lyrics, aren't they? and the third is Kings of Leon, the others seem familiar, but I couldn't name them...

As for Kara, I think Ani Difranco lyrics really seem to be so Kara to me, they actually helped me to get a grasp of her character, as I've always had difficulties understanding Kara.

Here are a few examples:
light of some kind: (the whole song is so Kara to me)
i've been intentionally bad at lying
you're the only boy i ever let see through me
and i hope you believe me when i say i'm trying
and i hope i never improve my game
yeah i'd rather have these things weighing on my mind
and at the end of this tunnel of guilt and shame
there must be a light of some kind

in the end the world comes down to just a few people
but for you it comes down to one
but no one ever asked me if i thought i could be
everything to someone
there's a crowd of people harbored in every person
there are so many roles that we play
and you've decided to love me for eternity
i'm still deciding who i want to be today

not a pretty girl:
and i have earned my disillusionment
i have been working all of my life
and i am a patriot
i have been fighting the good fight
and what if there are no damsels in distress
what if i knew that and i called your bluff?
don't you think every kitten figures out how to get down
whether or not you ever show up

[shah-of-blah.livejournal.com]

I'm with you on the Ani Difranco front. I actually posted lyrics from one of her songs up above. I thought about commenting with Not a Pretty Girl too, because it is such a Kara song, but I think of it as more Kara than Kara/Lee, so I went with School Night instead.

And I've never heard Light of Some Kind, but now I think I need to...

[leeloo86.livejournal.com]

Yes, once I posted them I realised they're more character based than shippy!
But I think "Light of Some Kind" could be read as Kara's thoughts about Lee, when you hear the whole song.
The lyrics can be read here (http://www.danah.org/Ani/NotAPrettyGirl/LightOfSomeKind.html)
But I'm not really a Kara girl, so I might be way off.

[shah-of-blah.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, "Light of Some Kind" definitely works--I just listened to it. I also think "Heartbreak Even" can be a Kara/Lee song. This verse in particular evokes her mindset throughout much of their relationship, but especially New Caprica:
It's a heartbreak even situation
One part powerful elation
One part pitiful and frail
And I'm trying to feel my way around
A book of promises written in braille

[ninjamonkey73.livejournal.com]

Don't cry to me.
If you loved me,
You would be here with me.
You want me,
Come find me.
Make up your mind.

(I can't find the screen cap I want on Google Images and I'm at work, but picture that scene in "Taking a Break From All Your Worries" where she asks if he'll leave dee if she leaves Sam.)

[rdave1.livejournal.com]

You say you gotta go and find yourself
You say that you're becoming someone else
Don't recognize the face in the mirror looking back at you

You say you're leaving as you look away
I know there's really nothing left to say
Just know i'm here whenever you need me i'll wait for you

I don't have a pic but I always associate this song with Lee thinking about Kara when she is on her mission on the garbage ship.

[muddlingalong.livejournal.com]

Reading these lyrics, the first thing that popped into my head was the poof. Requires more thought, but I'd never looked at it as Lee letting her go because that's what she needed rather than Kara leaving him.

[rdave1.livejournal.com]

I don't think about the finale but more about after Kara came back and she had to leave on the Demetrius and find who she was.

The song is Come back to me by David Cook

She did come back to him and kinda knowing who she was.

[christ-chexx-4u.livejournal.com]

oooh, i recognize damien rice 'rootless tree'; its been a 'terminator: scc' song for me for awhile now, but it totally works for lee and kara too!

Sara Bareilles' Gravity

Something always brings me back to you.
It never takes too long.
No matter what I say or do I'll still feel you here 'til the moment I'm gone.

You hold me without touch.
You keep me without chains.
I never wanted anything so much than to drown in your love and not feel your reign.

[CHORUS:]
Set me free, leave me be. I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity.
Here I am and I stand so tall, just the way I'm supposed to be.
But you're on to me and all over me.

You loved me 'cause I'm fragile.
When I thought that I was strong.
But you touch me for a little while and all my fragile strength is gone.

[CHORUS]

I live here on my knees as I try to make you see that you're everything I think I need here
on The ground.
But you're neither friend nor foe though I can't seem to let you go.
The one thing that I still know is that you're keeping me down

[cherylad.livejournal.com]

I don't know ANY of those!!

Hmmm.. brain is in total fail. will get wine and see if I can contribute!!

For Kara, during the mini when Lee "dies" and returns...and throughout bsg:

"Alone" by Heart:

'Til now I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone

You don't know how long I have wanted
to touch your lips and hold you tight
You don't know how long I have waited
and I was going to tell you tonight
But the secret is still my own
and my love for you is still unknown
Alone

Till now I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone
