In the theme post, someone mentioned that there should be a Joss Whedon inspired FST. Well, here we go: a Whedon inspired FST.
WARNING: SPOILERS BELOW
1. "Show Me Love (Extended Version)" - t.A.T.u.
Staring at your photograph
Everything now in the post
Never felt so lonely
I wish that you could show me love
Show me love, shoe me love, show me love
Show me love, show me love
'Til you open the door
(Note: This is a song that actually hearkens back to an FST I made earlier this year about Victor and Nico. A link will be posted if requested.)
Things...are going roughly between Victor and Nico. It's not very evident, but here and there, they argue, disagree, but over all the clash isn't too bad...right?
2. Girl (You Chew My Mind Up) - The Presets
Blue eyes,
Cutting through me like laser,
Smile driving me crazy,
Hips wiggling as she walks by.
I’m hooked,
Girl, I gotta know your name,
Hold her to my chest tonight,
Take her with me and holler to the stars
In short: Victor, meet Lillie. Lillie, meet Victor. Nico, pair the two up for a mission. Seems safe, right? They definitely aren't suffering puppy-dog love syndrome, no siree.
3. "Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy" - Queens
I can dim the lights and sing you songs full of sad things
We can do the tango just for two
I can serenade and gently play on your heart strings
Be your valentino just for you
Ooh love - ooh loverboy
What're you doin' tonight, hey boy
Set my alarm, turn on my charm
That's because I'm a good old-fashioned lover boy
Victor Mancha, son of Ultron, fool in love with two girls. Being old-fashioned is tough.
4. "Blue Eyes" - Cary Brothers
Fess it up, dot on the palm of your hand
I can help you to stand
Saved it up for this dance
Tell me all the things you can
I just wanna sing a song with you
I just wanna be the one that's true
Cause blue eyes
You’re the secret I keep
Cause blue eyes
He's head over heels for a girl with blue eyes, and she loves him back. Life can't get better.
5. "Aruarian Dance" - Nujabes
Lillie wants to show Victor what she does best, and they fly up into the sky on a seemingly inaudible melody.
6. "Pas De Deux: Dance Of The Prince & The Sugar-Plum Fairy" - Tchaikovsky
They're high above the bustle of old New York, without a care in the world, enjoying their dance.
7. "Elephant Love Medley" - Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor
Ewan:
love lifts us up where we belong
Where the eagles fly
On a mountain high
Nicole:
Love makes us act like we are fools
Throw our lives away
For one happy day
And the dance continues, even they know in the back of their heads that what they have will never work out. Coming from different eras can do that to a couple. They only have one day it seems, as a battle below grows and intensifies.
8. "Jupiter Crash" - The Cure
"Was that it? Was that the Jupiter show?
It kinda wasn't quite what I'd hoped for, you know..."
And pulling away she stands up slow
And round her the night turns
Round her the night turns
Yeah, that was it
That was the Jupiter crash
Drawn too close and gone in a flash
Just a few bruises in the region of the splash
Yeah
She left to the sound of the sea
She just drifted away from me
So much for gravity..
And Lillie has decided. She can't come back to the present day with Victor, no matter how much she wants to, how much her wants her too. It's too impossible of an idea for her, too scary of a thought.
9. "Whisper Hungarian In My Ear" - The Toids
And so, she's gone from his life, and he's distraught at losing her.
10. "Love Is Not Enough" - Nine Inch Nails
The closer we think we are
Well, it only got us so far
Now you’ve got anything left to show?
No, no I didn’t think so.
Hey!
The sooner we realize
We cover ourselves with lies
But underneath we’re not so tough
And love is not enough
And what about Nico? Can he go back to her? Despite their bickering, despite his fleeting affair with Lillie?
11. "Lilian" - Depeche Mode
Oh, Lilian
Look what you've done
You've stripped my heart
Ripped it apart
In the name of fun
Why did she just let him go? Her reasoning is that she wanted to be in charge of what happened from then on in her love life, but no matter what Nico seems to do, she just ends up hurting herself or someone else. What's a girl to do?
12. "Long Slow Goodbye" - Queens Of The Stone Age
Where have you gone again, my sweet?
Everybody wants to know
Where have you gone again, my sweet?
Everybody wants to know
Where you've gone
I'm just a ghost, I'm on your street
Waitin', when you comin' home?
I'm just a ghost, I'm on your street
Waitin', when you comin' home?
Gone so long
Where you've gone?
The long slow goodbye
The long slow goodbye...
A song for Nico, wishing that she hadn't messed up possibly the only stable relationship she's had in the last few years; a song for Lillie, missing the boy she'd given up because of her fears of the unknown; a for Victor, for losing the first two loves of his life. Will any of them reconnect with the one they lost?
