Oh I hadn't thought of Phoenix in years. You are right, it's a great River song. But I think your quote is misspelled. "I am the joy of Terra ..." since this was written after the Challenger was lost.
You're quite right about the mis-quoting... I was listening to the song and transcribing and got it wrong... As for being after Challenger, I think you're wrong there. I think this one was written in 1983 and, if you listen closely, then it references 'Capsule 12' and lots about dying in fire. I think it's referring to the three men who died in a fire in the Apollo program. I believe it was Apollo 12. The door jammed and the matting caught fire.
The other song that belongs in a pair with this one is 'Fire in the Sky' by Dr. Jordin Kare that Buzz Aldrin quoted after the Columbia disaster.
"The Gods do not give lightly of the powers they have made, and with Challenger and seven, once again the price is paid. Though a nation watched her falling, now a world can only cry a they passed from us to glory, riding fire in the Sky."
Twelve spheres of unendurable brightness spalled the velvety blackness of space.
The silence on Lester Tourville's flag bridge was absolute
And then the spell was broken as Shannon Foraker looked up from her console from where she had just sent a seemingly innocent command to the main computers of State Security's finest Superdreadnoughts.
"Oops." She said.

This is a perfect song for how Zoe feels about Wash! I see her getting mad at him and thinking “Sometimes I never want to see you again”, but then quickly going back to “You’re still the one that makes me laugh. Still the one that’s my better half, we’re still having fun, and you’re still the one.” The one *wink, wink* The one she chose. Here are the lyrics.
You're still the one-- Orleans
We've been together since way back when
Sometimes I never want to see you again
But I want you to know, after all these years
You're still the one I want whisperin' in my ear
You're still the one I want to talk to in bed
Still the one that turns my head
We're still having fun, and you're still the one
I looked at your face every day
But I never saw it 'til I went away
When winter came, I just wanted to go
Deep in the desert, I longed for the snow
You're still the one that makes me laugh
Still the one that's my better half
We're still having fun, and you're still the one
You're still the one that makes me strong
Still the one I want to take along
We're still having fun, and you're still the one
Changing, our love is going gold
Even though we grow old, it grows new
You're still the one that I love to touch
Still the one and I can't get enough
We're still having fun, and you're still the one
You're still the one who can scratch my itch
Still the one and I wouldn't switch
We're still having fun, and you're still the one
You are still the one that makes me shout
Still the one that I dream about
We're still having fun, and you're still the one...

Man, that song brings me back! It was on this Disco Duck LP from K-tel that I ordered when I was ten.

I downloaded "Lover's in a Dangerous Time" and really like, except for that I really don't like that one guy's voice. Why do they let him sing? Anyway, it is very Wash'n'Zoe.
Dl'ing yours now, Kaythryn.
Somebody on the fox board mentioned "Your Body is a Wonderland" by John Mayer as a Wash'n'Zoe song, so now I always think of them when I hear it.
Haven't found one on my own that I would really say reminds me.
Question: Should "Baby Got Back" be a Browncoat Chronicles song!?
Maybe a more toward question should be: should I go soak my head?

No to the first and yes to the second. I think you've been video taping one too many Proms. Get out now before you start rappin' and wearing your pants around your ankles.

DOBSON: Okay. I can see you're not an idiot.
DOBSON: I'm supposed to be meeting my wife's sister. I've only got a few days to see her...
ZOE: I wish there was another way...
DOBSON: Oh, no, no. That woman is like a dragon. I mean, I believe she has a tail. If there's any other moons we need to visit, or if we could just
fly very slowly...

But it's just so peppy! But Fonda ain't got a motor in the back of her honda! My anaconda don't want none unless you got buns hun!
So peppy.

The song "the widowing field" by Jars of Clay always makes me think of Mal and Zoe at the Battle of Serenity and the moment when Mal lost his faith.
I'm sure I could never make it through the night without you here.
The fires in the sky
illuminate the demons closing in.
Have mercy on my soul if I am not the last to go.
As I crawl around these trails and fight upon these widowing fields the ground below is bare and burned at the places that I learned to trust you.
Have mercy on my soul if I am not the last to go.
When even silence sets my heart to racing
I will lift my eyes to you
please Father, find me
Have mercy on my soul if I am not the last to go.
It is very plaintive with a lot of violin, so maybe that's the country feel you were looking for.
