I have a ridiculous, terrible, jam-packed week coming up, and so what have I done with my time?
I have made an FST.
1. Nada Surf - Happy Kid
I'm just a happy kid
Stuck with the heart of an old punk
Drowning in my id
Always hungry like it's on junk
I'm just a happy kid
Fitz enjoys his angst. It's not like the worst stuff ever has happened to him-- but being moody is fun. Also, self-mockery. This song is upbeat and yet bitter-- like, ah, him. XD;
2. Don't Make Me a Target - Spoon
Here come the man from the stars
we don't know why he go so far
and keep on marching along
beating his drum
...
Don't make me a target
At first I was always expecting Fitz to just give up and leave-- he's so flinchy. And yet, somehow, he doesn't. Don't think he knows why, either.
3. While my Guitar Gently Weeps - the Beatles
I look at the world and I notice it's turning
While my guitar gently weeps
With every mistake we must surely be learning
Still my guitar gently weeps
This is a great song for a guitarist, and you know Fitz has got to dig the Beatles. I can totally see him playing this. Emoting through his guitar is probably a concept with which he's terribly familiar.
4. Guys Like Me - Aimee Mann
Cause guys like me we're real good at the gate
You'll agree with the odds on the slate
And put your money on a bona fide heavy weight
And take it off guys like me
Take off guys like me
Self-esteem issues and wallowing-- who could resist such a song? Ohh, Fitz. ♥
5. Last to Know - Neil Finn
Way down the track
made the wrong turn
Finished up where I started
You noticed a change come over me
Fell in love with my own reflection yeah
How does it feel beneath your own wheel
Feels like an accident waking up
Under a bus with my fingers crossed
Now is the time we could make it up
This song, too, is just a good guitar song-- it's the sort of thing he could sound really good playing, even though the viola is a big part of what makes it brilliant. But! Gradually coming 'round from being such a selfish, disaffected youth is Fitz's whole journey-- and this is a song about pulling your head out of your ass. So.
6. Waltz - Fiona Apple
Everyone else's goal's to get big headed
Why should I follow that beat being that I'm
Better than fine
He has to be very independent, and I've always thought he must be driven by some sort of innate optimism. Granted, he's spent years and years trying to squash it, but Fitz keeps on keepin' on. It's something to admire~
7. Independence Day - Elliott Smith
I saw you caught between all the people out making a scene
And a bright ideal, tomorrow
Ooh, don't go too far
Stay who you are
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
You only live a day
But it's brilliant anyway
Another guitar song, and I just thought that Elliott Smith's tone suits him really well. Also, existentialism-- can't you see Fitz being very morbidly happy with Sartre? Or Waiting for Godot. I bet he'd find Waiting for Godot hysterically funny.
8. Counter Spark - Sondre Lerche
You could be sad but never torn
You saw the light when it was on
You never turned or looked away
Your eyes were focused, mine were grey
Your sentences were concentrated
You made your points so understated
Where I would mumble, you would say
Your eyes were focused, mine were grey
I made up conversations with my symbolic language
Saying everybody wants to be like you
But I'd rather fall in love with you
You got the picture from the start
You saw right through me in the dark
You saw that I couldn't behave
with eyes so focused, yet so frail
I chose you from a million
You were the choice of billions
wishing they would try to be like you
But I'd rather fall in love with you
All right, so it got a bit shippy. I didn't mean to, but it just sort of happened. I think, though, that even if you don't actually ship Doctor/Fitz, which I don't really, you've got to agree that Fitz has got a man-crush on the Doctor and they do have a very loving relationship. And this whole song is just them, to me-- from the eyes to the Doctor appreciating Fitz where no one else would. And I just love this song~
9. Nobody Takes Me Seriously - Split Enz
I don't wanna suffer these conditions no more
Haven't I the right to say
I don't wanna suffer these conditions no more
Nobody takes me seriously anyway
Nobody takes me seriously anyway
Nobody takes me seriously anyway
Rebellion and silly angst. Oh Fitz~ we cannot take you seriously in spite and because of your angsting~ but this is also why we love you ♥
10. My Little Japanese Cigarette Case - Spoon
It's just my Japanese cigarette case
bring a mirror to my face
and let all my memories be gone
I wasn't really going to go into that whole messy Faction Paradox thing, but I suppose you can take this song that way if you really feel like it. Mainly I was thinking that Fitz needs to smoke so he can cope. Also he is probably addicted.
11. Some Unholy War - Amy Winehouse
If my man was fighting
Some unholy war
I would be behind him
Straight shook up beside him
With strength he didn't know
It's you I'm fighting for
He can't lose with me in tow
I refuse to let him go
At his side and drunk on pride
We wait for the blow
I really love the generally-acknowledged fanon that Fitz stuck with the Doctor up through the war. He is stubborn and brilliant and loyal, and secretly braver than all the other companions put together. Just don't tell him that.
12. Action Adventure - Andrew Bird
so when you think you’re on the fast track
you find it’s just a cul-de-sac back
in that adult lifestyle community
where all your little boys, your action toys are duty free
ooo please don’t get too excited
oooo maybe you’re not invited to my action adventure
my action adventure dream
All this time, Fitz has had it figured out and you don't. He totally knew that. And smirks at you because of it. Also, I love Andrew Bird so much.
FST + Cover uploaded here~ Comments'd be fun, if you're'nna take it, just so's I can see if people like it or no~ :D?
