witticasterDERP DERP DERP songs I like for Kay or Julius or Kay & Julius every character ever, because I should have one central place to put this. I always feel incredibly dumb posting these, ngh. DX

"I won't look back anymore--
I left the people that do."
"It's not the chase that I love.
It's me following you."
"Kick Drum Heart" - Avett Brothers
Mostly Julius. A little bit Kay. The metaphor is wrong, but the meaning is right.
Turn down the lights, turn down the bed
Turn down these voices inside my head
Lay down with me, tell me no lies
Just hold me close, don't patronize - don't patronize me
"I Can't Make You Love Me" - Bonnie Raitt
Entirely Kay, and I have no fucking clue why, my God, unless I actually figure out her past to fit it--and this really wasn't a road I wanted to go with that--but I can't stop hearing it. Maybe it's just Raitt's voice doing it. God, what a good song.
"Kathy, I'm lost," I said
Though I knew she was sleeping.
I'm empty and aching and I don't know why.
Counting the cars on the New Jersey turnpike--
They've all come to look for America.
"America" - Simon & Garfunkel
The adventure and loneliness of road trips across the country, and the sense of Julius and Kay's relationship (laughing on the bus, playing games with the strangers--she said the man in the gabardine suit was a spy).
Coming home after school,
Flying my bike past the gates of the factories;
My mom doing the laundry,
Hanging out shirts in the dirty breeze.
And after the rain, there's a rainbow,
And all of the colors are black.
Its not that the colors are there;
Its just imagination they lack.
Everything's the same back
In my little town
"My Little Town" - Simon & Garfunkel
Kay's memories of Indianapolis, particularly after she's married.
In Polaroids you were dressed in women's clothes
Were you made ashamed?
Why did you lock them in the drawer?
And I don't think that I ever loved you more
Than when you turned away
When you slammed the door
When you stole the car and drove towards Mexico
And you wrote bad checks just to fill your arm
I was young enough, I still believed in war
"Poison Oak" - Bright Eyes
The song that created the AU in the first place. Sebastian, desperate to escape, and the people he's left behind to do it.
so breathe while you're alive
let the big band play
as you tap leather with your fingers
and i try to write with style
but the words just come
and i write them as soon as i see them
and i trust that you write them, too
and i trust that you love me, too
"Don't Let Them See You Cry" - Manchester Orchestra
Sebastian's clinging to Aziz after they admit their feelings for each other. Everything off Like a Virgin Losing a Child is Oakverse-y, but this one is the best example, in my opinion.
But my dreams
They aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be
I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free
"Behind Blue Eyes" - The Who
Something something V something something.
Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose,
Nothing don't mean nothing, honey, if it ain't free, now now.
"Me and Bobby McGee" - Janis Joplin
All I want is that one line.
All the fear has left me now:
I'm not frightened anymore.
It's my heart that pounds beneath my flesh.
It's my mouth that pushes out this breath.
And if I shed a tear, I won't cage it:
I won't fear love.
And if I feel a rage, I won't deny it:
I won't fear love.
"Fumbling Towards Ecstasy" - Sarah McLachlan
V and Evey.
We were barely 18 when we'd crossed collective hearts.
It was cold, but it got warm when you'd barely crossed my eye.
and then you turned, put out your hand,
and you asked me to dance.
I knew nothing of romance, but it was love at second sight.
I swear when I grow up, I won't just buy you a rose.
I will buy the flower shop, and you will never be lonely.
Even if the sun stops waking up over the fields
I will not leave, I will not leave 'till it's our time.
So just take my hand, you know that I will never leave your side.
"The Gambler" - fun.
Will and Tharkay's life together in the Woolfverse, summed up by a song. ;^;
And I know a father
Who had a son.
He longed to tell him all the reasons for the things he had done.
He came a long way
Just to explain--
He kissed his boy as he lay sleeping
And turned around and headed home again.
"Slip-Sliding Away" - Paul Simon
Archie and Sebastian and telling the stories that don't come easily.
I spoke to you in cautious tones
You answered me with no pretense
And still I feel I said too much
My silence is my self defense
And every time I've held a rose
It seems I only felt the thorns
And so it goes, and so it goes
And so will you soon I suppose
"So It Goes" - Billy Joel
Tharkay's favourite Billy Joel song (if he must have one). Waiting for the other shoe to drop with Will, the day everything will go to pieces and he's alone once more.
Oh yes he is (oh yes he is), oh yes he is (oh yes he is).
He thinks he is a flower to be looked at,
And when he pulls his frilly nylon panties right up tight,
He feels a dedicated follower of fashion.
Oh yes he is (oh yes he is), oh yes he is (oh yes he is).
There's one thing that he loves and that is flattery.
One week he's in polka-dots, the next week he is in stripes.
'Cause he's a dedicated follower of fashion.
"Dedicated Follower of Fashion" - The Kinks
Oh, Sebastian.
If you could see me whoever I am
It's not like the movies it's not all skin and bones
So come on love(come on, come one, come all and go)
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
I will not let you go
After all the show, after all the boys of summer had gone
Amid all the confusion, these friends I've been losing
I always thought from the start I'd be the one moving on
I guess I'll never know where all the boys of summer will go
But I'll miss what we made, all the days were not wasted
There are some things I may never know
"Walking the Dog" - fun.
Such an embodiment of Sebastian for me, especially just after he meets and Aziz and doesn't have any proof that he can make it work with him.
