I saw a thread on here about everyone's favorite bands a while back and it got me to thinking... what songs remind you of Serenity, Firefly, and/or specific characters? Seemed like a good discussion topic.

Goodnight, and have a pleasant tomorrow.

'If Everyone Cared', by Nickleback. Off their album "The Long Road"

It doesn't make me feel for any specific character, but rather the 'Verse as a whole.

It's one of the only songs that I know the verses for, but not any of the chorus. Usually its the other way around.

Well, pretty much every song on the cd "The Road to Here" by Little Big Town. Also, lots of the stuff that Jerry Douglas does, some of Mickey Cochran ( http://www.folkofthewood.com/page1897.htm and http://www.folkofthewood.com/page1898.htm ), "Blaze of Glory" by Bon Jovi, and Big & Rich. Also, the song "Poison" by Alice Cooper (or the cover of it by Groove Coverage) remind me a lot of Saffron.

Said it before, I'll say it again: "Sound the Bugle" by Bryan Adams. It's Mal's trip from Serenity Valley to Serenity.

'She's Only 18' by the Chili Peppers always reminds me of River for no reason. Every verse of 'American Pie' makes me think of Firefly, but I think I'm projecting...

September 16. Calgary, Alberta. Red Hot Chili Peppers. Look me up, I'll be the pale, shirtless guy who's high off of osmosis.

I mentioned this before, "Fragile" by NIN is River and Simon. Give it a listen.

"6 Feet From the Edge" is Mal.

And another NIN song (love them yes) is "Right Where it Belongs." I've always pictured myself on the boat, taken over by River's mind and seeing things through her eye's as she/we walk through the ship seeing all the crew and ending up at the galley. I'd seperate from her and I'd be seeing the whole crew at the table from afar.... yes my mind daydreams alot.

If anymore come to mind I'll make sure to tell.

If I'm a bitch, then life just got interesting

"Ballad of Serenity". Everytime I hear it, it reminds me of Firefly.

Someone mentioned this one as the perfect Simon/River song. Coldplay have a song that I think is called "Fix You". It never failed to make me think of Simon's dedication to River.

When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
COULD IT BE WORSE?

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face
And I

Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face
And I

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you.

Godsmack's "Serenity" comes to mind.

I, too, had 'Blaze of Glory by Bon Jovi in my head for days after first watching Firefly - something about the twanging guitar and laid back chorus!

"I love my captain!"
