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

Love this topic! I keep playing all these songs I vaguely remember and thinking that's not quite what I mean.

Sam. Poor, poor Sam. I'm going old school for him and choosing Jim Croce's "Lover's Cross" (http://listen.grooveshark.com/#/s/Lover+s+Cross/lKYRr) (and the lyrics (http://www.metrolyrics.com/lovers-cross-lyrics-jim-croce.html)). *sniff*

Dee is harder for me. She knew what she was buying (Kara's castoffs), unlike Sam who seemed more oblivious to anything between Kara and Lee before Kara married him. I understood Dee, though. I went through a bad relationship in my 20s where I was willing to settle for whatever crumbs he would throw me. And trying to come to terms with how I could become that person, someone that would be OK with half a heart in return, was what a lot of my original writing was about for a long time. I keep coming back to Bonnie Raitt's "I Can't Make You Love Me" (http://listen.grooveshark.com/#/s/I+Can+t+Make+You+Love+Me/2B1jQy) for her (and the lyrics (http://www.lyricsfreak.com/b/bonnie+raitt/i+cant+make+you+love+me_20022611.html)). This is the song that bridges me to her committing suicide once Earth is just a scorched ball of rock. She had allowed herself to settle for a man in love with another woman, she hadn't intended to be a lifer in the military, there was no Earth to settle on... *hugs Dee*

You guys are coming up with some fantastic songs for Sam and Dee. Reading those lyrics, I do want to hug them both. Both songs capture Sam and Dee's state of mind about their relationships with their respective spouses.

Great songs!
