Video playlist so you can listen to them straight away. :)
Anchor Me - The Mutton Birds
full lyrics (My thought process: Spock's like an anchor to Jim here > Anchor Me could be the title > Like the song! Let's listen to it while I write!)
Let the salt spray lash
The shivering skin
Where the green waves crash
And the whirlpools spin
Anchor me, anchor me, anchor me
Anchor me
In the middle of your deep blue sea, anchor me
Trouble Sleeping - Corinne Bailey Rae
full lyrics (The first four verses made me think of Jim so much.)
It's late and I'm feeling so tired
Having trouble sleeping.
This constant compromise
Between thinking and breathing.
Some kind of therapy
Is all I need
Please believe me
Some instant remedy
That can cure me completely
Take My Hand - Dido
full lyrics Touch my skin,and tell me what you're thinking
look into my eyes and tell me, oh tell me what you're seeing
So sit on top of the world and tell me how you're feeling
Give your trust to me and look into my heart
Stay - Hurts
full lyrics (This is THE song. I had never heard it before, but the morning after I had written all the imzadi related scenes my TV randomly froze on a channel that I didn't even know programmed music videos and this song came up. I was totally blindsided and couldn't have been happier about it. I think the poltergeist in my TV ships K/S too. XD )
I feel so lost but what can I do?
Alright, everything is alright
Since you came along
And before you
I had nowhere to run to
Nothing to hold on to
I came so close to giving it up
And I wonder if you know
How it feels to let you go?
You say goodbye in the pouring rain
And I break down as you walk away
Stay, stay.
And say you're mine
Don't leave tonight
Stay
And if you're wondering what song Jim used to listen to while meditating at the Academy, I was thinking of The Heart of Reiki by Merlin's Magic. I'm not easily satisfied with new age music but I really like that piece, it's perfect to relax. It actually lasts 62 minutes but you can listen to the first ten here:
