Musical Wednesday: A Different Outlook

[rdave1.livejournal.com]

Music has been such an integral part of our fandom and our love of pilots. We have such a variety of music associated with BSG and pilots. We’ve talked about songs from Kara’s POV about Lee, Lee’s POV about Kara, Kara thinking about Lee, Lee thinking about Kara, songs that remind us of pilots’ epic love, and songs that remind us of Starbuck and Apollo. 

So now I ask you, are there any songs that remind that make you say that this is how Sam sees K/L or this is how Dee see K/L? Are there songs out there that could be from another character’s POV about Kara/Lee? 

Also, from all of these different scenarios, we’ve had the pleasure of listening to some great fanmix or soundtracks about pilots. I ask you, is there a soundtrack for us, shippers???? Have you heard a song that reminds you of your feelings during an episode or your feeling overall towards pilots or BSG itself? Anything that you’ve heard that reminds you of you or shipper nation and its undying love of pilots?

For me:

Not Meant to be by Theory of a Deadman always reminds me of Sam and his POV about his relationship with Kara and his views on the K/L relationship.Lyrics and video

The songs that always remind me of us shippers are:

Jab Soona Soona Lage from the movie Om Shanti Om - Lyrics and video

Unbreak My Heart by Toni Braxton - Lyrics and video

Sam is a bit different for me. I adored him almost right from the beginning, and when it came to S3 I got really pissed off at the runaround he was given. (I'll admit I also experienced a resurgence of those feelings while watching Caprica, where we discover that group marriages do in fact exist ... I was like, "So you couldn't have done that with the QoD in S3 WHY EXACTLY?!" *RAGE*) Anyway. The first song that always makes me think of Sam and his view of K/L, particularly in S3, is Promises by the Cranberries. Lyrics:

You better believe I'm coming
You better believe what I say
You better hold on to your promises
Because you bet, you'll get what you deserve
She's going to leave him over
She's gonna take her love away
So much for your eternal vows, well
It does not matter anyway

Why can't you stay here awhile
Stay here awhile
Stay with me

Oh, all the promises we made
All the meaningless and empty words
I prayed, prayed, prayed
Oh, all the promises we broke
All the meaningless and empty words
I spoke, spoke, spoke

Do-do-do, do-do-do,
Do-do-do, do-do-do

What of all the things that you taught me
What of all the things that you'd say
What of all your prophetic preaching
You're just throwing it all away
Maybe we should burn the house down
Have ourselves another fight
Leave the cobwebs in the closet
'cos tearing them out is just not right

Why can't you stay here awhile
Stay here awhile
Stay with me, oh oh

The second one is more related to my fic (IU), but I'm throwing it in anyway just because. It's from Sam's perspective when he returns from Caprica and finds out Kara and Lee are in love and they have a child. It's Too Little, Too Late by the Barenaked Ladies. Lyrics:

You say, "Why does everything revolve around you?"
You say, "Why does everything I do confound you?"
You say that I pulled the world from under you,
You can't go through it this time

And I could be good, and I would -
If I knew I was understood
And it'll be great, just wait -
Or is it too little too late?

One day, this embarrassment will fade behind me
And that day I could think of things that won't remind me
But these days it's unbearable for both of us
We can't discuss it this way

I'm gaining strength, tying to learn to pull my own weight
But I'm gaining pounds at the precipice of too late
just wait

I could be good, and I would - if I knew I was understood
And it'll be great, just wait -
Or is it too little too late?

Record and play, after years of endless rewind
Yesterday wasn't half as tough as this time
This time is a hell,
Last time, I couldn't tell
This mind wasn't well
Next time, hope I'm ...
Going to be good, and I would -
If I knew I was understood
And it'll be great, just wait -
Or is it too little too late?
Good, and I would -
If I knew I was understood
And it'll be great, just wait -
Or is it too little too late?

Poor Sammy. *hugs him*

That first song nails it. Every word explains Sam's feelings towards K/L.
All the meaningless and empty words

I mean you can't make it any truer. Kara's heart always belonged to Lee so the vows in front of Gods really just became words.

Your story is on my must read list but from what you've mentioned above, the song does fit Sam's feelings after finding out K/L have a baby.

For the second song, I'll second poor Sam.:)
