brokenweapon[The video's inadvertently activated - and it's easy to tell by the camera angle. It's pointing halfway up at the ceiling, but Bourne can still be seen, holding a picture frame in his hand and singing almost too quietly to be heard.]
Words we had said
Grew in my head
Colored my thoughts
Sang me to bed
Lost memories
Grew into trees
Covered the doors
Swallowed the keys
Winters have come and gone
You know
Winters have come and gone
You know
But I’ll meet you young and free
For a dance round the memory tree
Said I forgot
But I did not
Dreams we have had
Play in my head
Did we believe
The cry of the wind?
Did we regret?
Would we forget?
Winters have come and gone
You know
Winters have come and gone
You know
But I’ll meet you young and sweet
For a dance round the memory tree...
[He looks at his journal and sees the recording light is on. It's switched off dispassionately, but just before the transmission cuts out, there's the shadow of some sadness on his face.]

Date: 2010-09-11 06:10 am (UTC)So, because it would totally be this way in a musical, Claire responds with a song of her own:]
ABBA : Take a Chance on Me : (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHk2I-sNoGI)
"If you change your mind, I’m the first in line
Honey I’m still free
Take a chance on me
If you need me, let me know, gonna be around
If you’ve got no place to go, if you’re feeling down
If you’re all alone when the pretty birds have flown
Honey I’m still free
Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best and it ain’t no lie
If you put me to the test, if you let me try."

Date: 2010-09-11 07:21 am (UTC)Dido - Honestly OK (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AE1IuPpTn7w)
"I just want to feel safe in my own skin
I just want to be happy again
I just want to feel deep in my own world
but I'm so lonely I don't even want to be with myself anymore
On a different day if I was safe in my own skin
then I wouldn't feel so lost and so frightened
But this is today and I'm lost in my own skin
And I'm so lonely I don't even want to be with myself anymore
I just want to feel safe in my own skin
I just want to be happy again."
[He tries a shaky smile, and changes the subject.]
ABBA - Chiquitita (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVnMDYSaYA4)
"Chiquitita, tell me what's wrong
You're enchained by your own sorrow
In your eyes there is no hope for tomorrow
How I hate to see you like this
There is no way you can deny it
I can see that you're oh so sad, so quiet
Chiquitita, tell me the truth
I'm a shoulder you can cry on
Your best friend, I'm the one you must rely on
You were always sure of yourself
Now I see you've broken a feather
I hope we can patch it up together..."
Video - private.
Date: 2010-09-11 07:40 am (UTC)"I'm feelin' out of luck
Maybe I just feel too much
That old familiar touch
Will always stain my skin
The good in everyone
The ties we left undone
The heart that moves your blood
All the things that bring me right back here
Once again
Wait
Stop me so I can begin."
[And because it was never fully addressed, she brings up the kiss with Sittin', Waitin', Wishin' : Jack Johnson : (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HADhdghmkk).]
"Well I was sitting, waiting, wishing
You believed in superstitions
Then maybe you'd see the signs
The Lord knows that this world is cruel
I ain't the Lord, no I'm just a fool
Learning lovin' somebody don't make them love you
Must I always be waiting, waiting on you
Must I always be playing, playing your fool
I keep playing your part
But it's not my scene
Want this plot to twist
I've had enough mystery
Keep building it up
Then shooting me down
But I'm already down."
[By now, she's standing, getting into her songs and responding passionately with dramatic gestures.]

Date: 2010-09-11 04:12 pm (UTC)Sting - Be Still My Beating Heart (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgPfCUfVhcM)
"Be still my beating heart
It would be better to be cool
It's not time to be open just yet
A lesson once learned is so hard to forget
Be still my beating heart
Or I'll be taken for a fool
It's not healthy to run at this pace
The blood runs so red to my face
I've been to every single book I know
To soothe the thoughts that plague me so
I sink like a stone that's been thrown in the ocean
My logic has drowned in a sea of emotion
Stop before you start
Be still my beating heart..."
[He trails off and begins something that should be an inner monologue, but given the nature of the flood...and it's delivered just as emotionally as the part of the song it comes from.]
Muse - Escape (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GU3fkC8sVRo)
"Why can't you just love her?
Why be such a monster?
You bully from a distance
Your brain needs some assistance
But I'll still take all the blame
'Cause you and me are both one and the same
And it's driving me mad
And it's driving me mad..."
[He falters on the last note and returns his attention to Claire.]
Muse - Unintended (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaVPAKuZMbw)
"First there was the one who challenged
All my dreams and all my balance...
I'll be there as soon as I can
But I'm busy mending broken
Pieces of the life I had before."
[AND THEN HE LOOKS VAGUELY EMBARRASSED AT SINGING IN MATT BELLAMY'S FALSETTO FOR THE LAST PART.]

Date: 2010-09-13 01:53 am (UTC)Disgrace - Sevendust @ 0:48 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJYkjCNWRbg) ]
"So why does it feel like the sun is just burned out?
So why does it feel everyone's waiting for us
to crumble and just break down?"
[Claire continues to emphasis words with actions, moving onto her next message.
@ 0:42 Undisclosed Desires - Muse (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8OOWcsFj0U&ob=av2e) ]
"Trust me
You can be sure
I want to reconcile the violence in your heart
I want to recognize your beauty is not just a mask
I want to exorcise the demons from your past
I want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart."

Date: 2010-09-14 04:55 am (UTC)Santana feat. Eagle-Eye Cherry - Wishing it Was (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpLYSUlcN6k)
"Beauty and grace is what touches me most
Good times can put me in fear
I always feel safe when things are bad
So I cannot let you come near
It seems that I thrive on the dark side of things
I always feel alive when the death bell rings
Now you come and you bring out the tears in me
Pain never makes me cry but happiness does
It's so strange to watch your life walk by
Wishing it was
Wishing it was more like a fantasy
Every day surprises me
Wishing it was...
[Skipping a bit.]
Give it some thought
I'm sure you will know
This is the way it must be
Emotions will rise, emotions will flow
You bring out the tears in me..."
Video - private. || Will SO edit if not okay to move Jason.
Date: 2010-09-14 05:41 am (UTC)"I would be patient but it takes so long
I don't want all this misinformation
All the words that you say
Lean on me while I lean on you
Well, if we destroy each other
We might save a life or two
A little sun, a little shine, yeah
Separates us both by forever and a day."
[And, hey, speaking of impatience, Claire leaves her laptop and makes her way toward Jason's cabin, knocking with a song in waiting. She starts singing the first verse while waiting, hands on either side of the threshold.]
"A suburban man at my door
But I don’t think I’ll let him in
He wants discipline
Discipline, control over the way I live
Wants the best for me
Old school philosophy
But I can’t turn my back on him
He’s a part of me
Buy me anything but I just need a friend
[As Jason opens the door, Claire moves in before the door is fully drawn back, laying both hands on his chest and giving a light push as she sings the chorus.]
{All For You - Our Lady Peace (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pRn9YJ6BYI), song's at 0:40}
It’s all for you!
You got me where you want
It’s all for you, oh
Just stop breaking my heart
You’re the blood, I'm the seed and it’s all that I need
Got me where you want
It’s all for you, oh
You got me, oh, you got me
[She circles him now as she sings, inserting appropriate motions with words.]
Jack Kerouac k-k-k-kerouac
On the road and in my head
I need irrelevance, intelligence
A new tattoo, a lot more sex
Broken families,
the new enemy
And you will not make up for this
This suburban man he wants discipline
But I just need a friend
[Lots of pointing at Jason here, heart touching, etc.]
It’s all for you
You got me where you want
It’s all for you
Just stop breaking my heart
You’re the blood, I'm seed and it’s all that I need
Got me where you want
It’s all for you
You got me, oh, you got me where you want
Leave me alone
Oh, leave me alone
Tonight
You got me where you want
All for you, stop breaking my heart
You, oh,
You got me where you want
It's all for you, oh
Stop breaking my, stop breaking my heart
You’re the blood, I'm the seed and it’s that I need
Got me where you want
It's all for you, oh
Cause you got me, oh, you got me where you want
It’s all for you
Oh just stop breaking my, stop breaking my heart
It’s all for you, oh
Got me, got me where you want
It’s all for you
Mmm, my heart
It’s all for you, oh
You got me oh, you got me where you want."
Spam - at this point I think it is obvious that Alex likes ABBA a little too much
Date: 2010-09-23 04:20 am (UTC)And for the first time in a long while...he smiles.]
ABBA - Does Your Mother Know? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkL7Fkigfn8&ob=av3n)
You're so hot, teasing me
So you're blue but I can't take a chance on a chick like you
That's something I couldn't do
There's that look in your eyes
I can read in your face that your feelings are driving you wild
Ah, but girl you're only a child
[He gently pushes her away in kind.]
Well I can dance with you honey
If you think it's funny
Does your mother know that you're out?
And I can chat with you baby
Flirt a little maybe
Does your mother know that you're out?
Take it easy (take it easy)
Better slow down girl
That's no way to go
Does your mother know?
Take it easy (take it easy)
Try to cool it girl
Take it nice and slow
Does your mother know?
[He dances away from her, then spends the next verse walking back slowly. Despite himself, he is enjoying this flood oh God.]
I can see what you want
But you seem pretty young to be searching for that kind of fun
So maybe I'm not the one
Now you're so cute, I like your style
And I know what you mean when you give me a flash of that smile (smile)
But girl you're only a child
Well I can dance with you honey
If you think it's funny
Does your mother know that you're out?
And I can chat with you baby
Flirt a little maybe
Does your mother know that you're out?
[And he adds a vaguely accusatory sternum-poke at the question.]
Take it easy (take it easy)
Better slow down girl
That's no way to go
Does your mother know?
Take it easy (take it easy)
Try to cool it girl
Take it nice and slow
Does your mother know?
Well I can dance with you honey
If you think it's funny
Does your mother know that you're out?
And I can chat with you baby
Flirt a little maybe
Does your mother know that you're out?
Well I can dance with you honey
If you think it's funny
Does your mother know that you're out?
And I can chat with you baby
Flirt a little maybe
Does your mother know that you're out?
Well I can dance with you honey
If you think it's funny
Does your mother know that you're out?
And I can chat with you baby
Flirt a little maybe
Does your mother know that you're out?
[There was no '70s dancing though. Not even a little! Not. Even. A little.]

Date: 2010-09-24 04:49 am (UTC)Falls Apart - Thousand Foot Krutch (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elIspF-HS-c&ob=av2e)]
"It falls, apart, from the very start, it falls apart,
seems like everything I touch,
Falls apart, everything around me, falls apart,
when I walk away from you.
I know I should but I don't always say, what you want me to say,
I know I could but I don't always act, like everything's okay,
and now it's all so clear, doesn't anyone see whats happening
here?
[From no where, she acquires a bat and does the dance as seen in the Katy Perry music video @ the 2:11 mark
Hot 'N Cold (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lkaf9PdlNM&ob=av2e).]
"'Cause you're hot and you're cold
You're yes and you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down
You're wrong when it's right
You're black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We hug, we make up
You, you don't really wanna stay, no
But you, you don't really wanna go, oh
You're hot and you're cold
You're yes and you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down!"
