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

This one isn't so much a song about pilots as a song about Kara from Sam's point of view, but there's something about its combination of clear-eyed frustration and acceptance that stikes me as very him:

"Always a Woman" by Billy Joel

She can kill with a smile,
She can wound with her eyes.
She can ruin your faith with her casual lies.
And she only reveals what she wants you to see;
Yeah, she hides like a child,
But she's always a woman to me.

She can lead you to love,
She can take you or leave you.
She can ask for the truth
But she'll never believe you.
And she'll take what you give her, as long as it's free.
Yeah, she steals like a thief
But she's always a woman to me.

CHORUS:
Oh--she takes care of herself,
She can wait if she wants,
She's ahead of her time.
Oh--and she never gives out,
And she never gives in,
She just changes her mind.

And she'll promise you more
Than the Garden of Eden,
Then she'll carelessly cut you
And laugh while you're bleedin'
But she'll bring out the best
And the worst you can be.
Blame it all on yourself
Cause she's always a woman to me.

CHORUS:
Oh--she takes care of herself,
She can wait if she wants,
She's ahead of her time.
Oh--and she never gives out,
And she never gives in,
She just changes her mind.

She is frequently kind
And she's suddenly cruel.
She can do as she pleases,
She's nobody's fool.
And she can't be convicted;
She's earned her degree.
And the most she will do
Is throw shadows at you
But she's always a woman to me.

Not very pilots but definitely conveys Sam's feelings and views towards Kara. I had not heard of this song before. Thanks for sharing!
