was listenin to the rain song by led zep today and thinkin about firefly (as i do when im supposed to be revisin) and for some reason just totally reminded me of mal n nara. think the lines "speak to me only with your eyes" and "i never thought you would ever go" though i suppose as far as lyrics are concerned communcation breakdown would best describe their relationship.

in general i think 'the cowboy in me' by tim mcgraw is the most firefly song! i heard it off a fan video and just fell it love. you *have* to listen to it. tis great. and *not* dodgy (in a brokeback mountain way as its name suggests =D)

Chemical Workers/Process Man By Great Big Sea, always reminds me of Firefly. Has the maritime feel to it that I associate with Firefly. Mal refers to Serenity as "My Boat".

And Cirling Around the Moon by John Mellencamp is a good Mal/Inara song. Lyrics and overall sound fits the Firefly verse. Actually, there are a lot of songs off his CD that would do nicely.

I agree with the Johnny Cash and Alison Krauss recomendations too. The rest I will have to check out.

The violin in "the GOlden Hall" from the Lord of the Rings: the Two Towers reminded me of Firefly. Also, "Ray Bradbury Attack" by Gods of Shamisen ( www.myspace.com/gos ).

Telegraph Road by Dire Straits: reminds me of the journey of Serenitys crew.

There's an Irish song, I'm not sure if it has an official author, called "The Foggy Dew" that reminds me of the Battle of Serenity Valley. Same sort of desperate bid for freedom kind of thing.

"Breathe In" by Frou Frou is a good Mal/Inara song.

"A Message" by Coldplay is another Mal/Inara. Totally agree with "Fix You" for the Tams too.

"Cymbeline" by Loreena McKennitt remins me of River too, though the words are Shakespeare, from the play of the same name. It made me think of Simon trying to tell her that she's safe and she doesn't have to go through whatever it was the Alliance was doing to her.

Fear no more the heat o' th' sun
Nor the furious winters' rages;
Thou thy worldly task hast done,
Home art gone, and ta'en thy wages.
Golden lads and girls all must,
As chimney-sweepers, come to dust.

The sceptre, learning, physic, must
All follow this and come to dust.

Fear no more the frown o' th' great;
Thou art past the tyrant's stroke.
Care no more to clothe and eat;
To thee the reed is as the oak.

The sceptre, learning, physic, must
All follow this and come to dust.

All lovers young, all lovers must
Consign to thee and come to dust.

Fear no more the lightning flash,
Nor th' all-dreaded thunder stone;
Fear not slander, censure rash;
Thou hast finished joy and moan.

All lovers young, all lovers must
Consign to thee and come to dust.

No exorciser harm thee!
Nor no witchcraft charm thee!
Ghost unlaid forbear thee!
Nothing ill come hear thee!
Quiet consummation have,
And renowned by thy grave!

Slightly depressing maybe, but it always made me feel better for some reason.

Mine is an evil sugar high laugh! Bwahahahaha!

There was a similar thread over a year ago where someone brought up Diana Lorden "Fighting Gravity". It is now one of my favorite CD's.

"Kingdom Come", if i'm not mistaken, by Coldplay. Whenever I hear it i think it would make a great fanvid spotlighting the relationships of the show (Mal/Inara, Simon/Kaylee, and i always think of Wash/Zoe by the campfire in OMR.). Also, oddly enough, Bo Bice, "U Make Me Better".
*ahem*
"Please don't tell me it's the ending/You're all i ever wanted, from the beginning/I know i let you down/I live with that forever/I wanna scream out loud/'Cause you're the only one that makes me better"
I always think of Mal's relationship with the ship, and our relationship with the show. Images that run through my mind include Mal waving to the drunkies in the Train Job as the ramp lifts, and most any shot of Serenity flying, especially at the end of the BDM.
*NOSTALGIA*

I'm babbling like a moonbrain.

"Come To Jesus" by Mindy Smith.

I could see this song playing in a hundred different Firefly scenes, from "kickin' ass and takin' names" scenes to "too scared to die" scenes to "not sure what the right thing to do is" scenes. It's not gospel. It's sort of like country folk rock where it starts off acoustic, rocks out for a while, and then ends up almost a cappella.

You can listen to the whole song on her myspace - go check it out!

There are so many songs that I hear now that make me think of the different characters and the show. But I think instrumentallly I'd have to go with Apocalyptica, especially their CD called Cult. It's the only instrumental stuff that I really love that makes me think 'a the verse.

Have to say that 3 Doors Down with Kryptonite makes me think about the Verse. Uses it (amongst some others) as insperational music for when I write my fic.

You can’t stop the Signal.
Keep spreading the word about Firefly!
