So BJ and Haru were going to have a MUSIC BATTORU!! with Yousendit abuse and Meaningful Lyrics (TM). And then Nishi dropped BJ and I cried, because I'd already picked a lot of the songs I wanted to use. And then Nishi offered to trade songs and my face was 8D once again! These links are only a few hours old and part of what will someday a blackandwhiteox FST, and I'd be much honored if you took any. :D
1. Black and White Boy, by Crowded House. Yeah, this one's a given.
When you shake off the shadows of night
And your eyes are so clear and so bright
You make fools of the liars and creeps
Put a rose in my cheeks
But when demons have climbed on your back
You are vicious and quick to attack
And you put on a wonderful show
Do you really, really think I don't know
Black and white boy
2. Black (Unplugged and Undrugged Version), by Pearl Jam. Okay, if you're only going to take one of the songs, TAKE THIS ONE. Okay, THIS ONE AND NUMBER 8. It has it all. Rin is the person that Haru's taught everything to, he knows he was the most important person to her and he lost that, and he knows he fucked up. And knowing that she's made an impact on other campers both doesn't surprise him because well, how could she not?, and makes him even more aware of the sun he lost.
Hey...oooh...
Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
Were laid spread out before me as her body once did.
All five horizons revolved around her soul
As the earth to the sun
Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn
Ooh, and all I taught her was everything
Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore
And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds
Of what was everything?
Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything...
I take a walk outside
I'm surrounded by some kids at play
I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear
Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head
I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning
How quick the sun can, drop away
And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass
Of what was everything?
All the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything...
All the love gone bad turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I'll ever be...yeah...
Uh huh...uh huh...ooh...
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a sun
In somebody else's sky, but why
Why, why can't it be, why can't it be mine
3. Specialist, by Interpol. Okay, this one is me cheating because anything musicky I do has to include Interpol in some form. Paul Banks's lyrics are 95% nonsensical, his voice and the richness of the music make up for it. Specialist is a 6 minutes and 40 seconds piece that's really a lot of song bits rolled into one. Kind of like going through an entire relationships and the emotional rollercoaster that comes with it in less than 10 minutes. I have mentioned that I really like Interpol, yes? What does that have to do with Haru and Rin? Specialist is the song I most strongly associate with the flashbacks we get in the manga about them. Strong sexual overtones, heavy dependence on one another, unconditional dedication to each other... all there.
My love's a laboratory
I set all my pets free
so baby you should sleep with me (this is Haru's pick-up line for Rin in song form, I swear.)
[...]
Circle around me now baby it’ll be ok
cause we all go downtown sometimes
somehow baby we’ll beat this mess
[...]
Time away from me
Will get you down
I love the way you put me in the big house
I love the way you put me in the big house
[...]
All I want is to be the very best for you
All I want is to be the very best for you
4. My Prerogative, by Selfish Cunt. The Black Haru song. This is a Bobby Brown cover, but while the original is about a manwhore, the Selfish Cunt version is more about violence and confrontation. Still about getting girls, though, because Black Haru is a total pimp.
P.S.: NOT BRITNEY SPEARS. I WOULDN'T PIMP BRITNEY SPEARS MUSIC TO MY WORST ENEMY.
They say I'm crazy
I really don't care
That's my prerogative
They say I'm nasty
But I don't give a damn
Gettin' girls is how I live
Some ask me questions
Why am I so real
They don't understand me
They really don't know the deal
About a brother trying hard to make it right
Now why don't you go before
I win this fight
5. Beastiality, by Patrick Wolf.
And I am not sorry, no
For this part of me
Why should I be sorry
For my bestiality
6. Pornography, by Client. This is actually a song about monogamy. Yay.
I'm so tired of this
It brings me down
I'm nothing when you're not around
You know you're obsessed
And I am too
'Cos we're the same in the things that we do
7. Split Screen Sadness, by John Mayer Haru's a stalker.
So maybe I'll sleep inside my coat and
Wait on the porch til you come back home, alright
I can't find the fight
So I'll check the weather wherever you are
Cause I wanna know if you can see the stars tonight
Might be my only right
8. What Happened to Us, by Hoobastank.
I thought it was to good to be true
I found somebody who understands me
Someone who would help me get to through
And fill an emptiness I had inside me
But you kept inside, and I just denied
Some things that we should have both said
I knew it was to good to be true
Cuz I'm the only one who understands me
What happened to us?
We used to be so perfect
Now we're lost and lonely
What happened to us?
And deep inside I wonder
Did I lose my only...
Remember they thought we were too young
To really know what it takes to make it
But we had survived all what we have done
So we could show them all that they're mistaken
But who could have known, the lies that would grow
Until we could see right through them
Remember they knew we were too young
We still don't know what it takes to make it
What happened to us?
We used to be so perfect
Now we're lost and lonely
What happened to us?
And deep inside I wonder
Did I lose my only one
We could have made it work
We could have found a way
We should have done our best
To see another day
But we kept it all inside
Until it was to late
And now we're both alone
The consequences we pay
For throwin' it all away
What happened to us?
We used to be so perfect
Now we're lost and lonely
What happened to us?
And deep inside I wonder
Did I lose my only...
What happened to us?
