Soundtrack?
I swear, it's like Sara Bareilles has been writing music just for Once Upon a Time. Or they've been writing to her music. I know, I know, I'm on a OUAT kick lately. It's the new season. It has me all aflutter. I'll return to The Avengers and SPN soon. Anyway, here's some examples of what I'm talking about behind the cut.
Responsible- Sara Bareilles
~Bound for the Blessing
You wouldn't see it coming
I keep you guessing
Watch while you come undone.
You were an island that no one would dare to tread upon.
I came in like the wise men, and ask you to take my gift of love.
~Careful confessions
Can't scare you with my crime
I learned my lesson
Love you a little at a time.
~ can't change you when you won't change yourself.
But I see you slowly becoming someone else.
I can't blame you for the strength you lack.
Scared to give what you may not get back.
Now, tell me that isn't Rumbelle...
Undertow- Sara Bareilles
~Silly me, look what I did again.
I found what I want is what I cannot have
I didn't mean to be so predictable,
But I blame it all on who made you irresistible
And it isn't something I need 'til you tell me I can't
Why wear my heart on my sleeve when it looks so good in your hand.
CHORUS
My heart breaks in a heart beat
And you storm me when you come and go
The taste of something so sweet should have
Warned me 'bout the undertow.
Oh, I couldn't find a better man to let me go.
Little girl, I don't know why you stay.
If I had a feather for every time daddy said that I could fly away.
Old habits are so hard to break
It'd be a shame to stop now that I've started to make really good mistakes.
And I don't know why I must ask for the forbidden fruit.
I saw the snake in the grass, but I had bitten too soon.
Snow/Charming, yes?
Hold My Heart- Sara Bareilles
~I never meant to be the one to let you down
If anything, I thought I saw myself going first
I didn't know how to stick around
How to see anybody but me be getting hurt
I keep remembering the summer night
And the conversation breaking up the mood
I didn't want to tell you you were right
Like the season changing, oh, I felt it too
Does anybody know how to hold my heart
How to hold my heart?
'Cause I don't want to let go, let go, let go too soon
I want to tell you so before the sun goes dark
How to hold my heart
'Cause I don't want to let go, let go, let go of you
I'm not the kind to try to tell you lies
But the truth is you've been hiding from it too
I see the end sneaking in behind your eyes
Saying everything no words could ever do
Does anybody know how to hold my heart
How to hold my heart?
'Cause I don't want to let go, let go, let go too soon
I want to tell you so before the sun goes dark
How to hold my heart
'Cause I don't want to let go, let go, let go of you
Is anybody listening?
'Cause I'm crying
Is anybody listening?
I see this as a very Emma song. Emma/Graham, Emma/August, Emma&Henry, Emma&Mary Margaret, Emma in general.
One Sweet Love- Sara Bareilles
~Just about the time the shadows call
I undress my mind and dare you to follow
Paint a portrait of my mystery
Only close my eyes and you are here with me
A nameless face to think I see
To sit and watch the waves with me till they're gone
A heart I'd swear I'd recognize is made out of
My own devices....
Could I be wrong?
[CHORUS]
The time that I've taken
I pray is not wasted
Have I already tasted my piece of one sweet love?
Sleepless nights you creep inside of me
Paint your shadows on the breath that we share
You take more than just my sanity
You take my reason not to care.
No ordinary wings I'll need
The sky itself will carry me back to you
The things I dream that I can do I'll open up
The moon for you
Just come down soon
"True Love" in general
And let's not forget the song Fairytale in its entirety for the irony of Storybrooke. Just my two cents.
