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

First, I am made of fail! I don't believe I missed fat!Lee last night. Completely forgot the rewatch. I think I am going to have to put an alarm on my phone when UB/UBEX comes up.

Anyhow, on to the question of the day...

I try not to think too much about Sam and Dee, so I don't have much to add there. However, I do have some shipper songs.

Since I am full of creativity and win today (and sarcasm), they all have the word "ship" in them. Clever, huh?

Here goes...

White Flag by Dido ("I will go down with this ship")

Closer to Fine by the Indigo Girls ("sailed my ship of safety til I sank it")

Starlight by Muse ("this ship has taken me far away")

(Despite my sarcasm, I really am fond of these songs for my shipper experience. They all express a sense of exploration, loyalty, and adventure that fits K/L shipper life. It's an adventure I never thought I'd be at all interested in taking. I mean, really, a couple from a scifi show? Really? Yes, really. And I don't care who frakking knows! The exploration has been part of the fun...I've discovered such a lovely group of people here and I've learned how to post pics and gifs and am working on icons and fic and heading to D*C...woohoo! The loyalty...deffo. I feel it between all of us in our concern for each other as friends and our fierce dedication to K/L.)

I haven't been around for any of the other rewatches either but I really want to do both UB/UBEX.

YAY!Shipper songs!!

I love that Muse's Starlight works with it all. I really need to create a sarcasm font so people don't have to say I'm being sarcastic. Yes that silly couple from a scifi show that seems to have made a permanent home in our hearts.:)

You are going to D*C too! I'm trying to go, just kinda hang out with everyone and not do any events. But if everyone is going to be in panels and stuff then it seems pointless. IDK!

[thegreenkitty.livejournal.com]

You should deffo try to come to D*C. I purchased a pass so I can flit in and out of panels, etc., but I'm really going mostly to see shippers. I think you'd be fine hanging out and not doing official events. (After all, I'm sure we shippers will think up our own unofficial events...like chattering, drinking, rewatching UBEX, etc.)

OMG!! I'm totally coming. My friend and I are going to buy passes because I think her Eureka ships are going to there. But we are totally freaking out becasue we don't know what to do. I mean when should one arrive, does anything happen on Friday?? We have a 12 hour drive to get there.

But we have been totally squeeing for the last couple of days. Bonus: She is watching BSG, okay I'm making her watch it.:)

Yay!!! Awesome news. I don't really know all the details since it'll be my first time at D*C. I think the con officially starts Friday but people are getting into town either Thur or Fri. (I'll probably be in the Thur crowd b/c I have a 6 hour drive.) I expect there'll be some sort of shipper goodness going on for us Thur folks.

Do you know what you're doing as far as rooming? I can ask as I think there may be additional rooms in the K/L shipper bunch that was purchased. Let me look into it and I will let ya know for sure. Can't wait to see you!!

(um, the above was from me...thegreenkitty Liz...didn't realize I'd logged out)

[rdave1.livejournal.com]

We have a long drive, that's why we were trying to figure out what was going on early Friday. I don't know if anyone from my area is coming, it's just the two of us so we were wondering if anyone wanted to car pool. Where are you driving out from?

White Flag by Dido has always summed up Kara & Lee's relationship to me. The first verse is Lee in "Home" and the second is Kara after "UBEX"

I know you think that I shouldn't still love you or tell you that
But if I didn't say it, well I'd still have felt it, where's the sense in that?
I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder, or return to where we were

I know I left too much mess and destruction to come back again, and I caused nothing but trouble, I understand if you can't talk to me again.
And if you live by the rules of it's over, then I'm sure that that makes sense

The Chorus is for both of them if they would just admit their feelings to themselves:

I will go down with this ship, I won't put my hands up and surrender, there will be no white flag above my door, I'm in love, and always will be

[thegreenkitty.livejournal.com]

Yes, I completely agree with your take on White Flag. There's a good Kara (somewhat K/L I think) vid on youtube also if you haven't seen it. I don't recall the vidder, but it's over there.

It's good to see you posting. :) May I friend you?

Of course! I'm new to lj and haven't really done any friending yet. I just de-lurked a little bit ago...gotta take it one step at a time ;-)
