The opening of Thomas Dolby's I Love You Goodbye from his Astonauts and Heretics album has a bit in the beginning that reminds me of the show.

Ever since I viewed a link from this board,
Nickleback's "Savin' Me"
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2860205753500133477&q=firefly
I think of Firefly everytime I hear it. I really like that only one episode was used (Out of Gas) and it really suites a video, not too many dialoge scenes.

To dream ... the impossible dream ...
To fight ... the unbeatable foe ...
To bear ... with unbearable sorrow ...
To run ... where the brave dare not go ...
To right ... the unrightable wrong ...
To love ... pure and chaste from afar ...
To try ... when your arms are too weary ...
To reach ... the unreachable star ...
This is my quest, to follow that star ...
No matter how hopeless, no matter how far ...
To fight for the right, without question or pause ...
To be willing to march into Hell, for a Heavenly cause ...
And I know if I'll only be true, to this glorious quest,
That my heart will lie will lie peaceful and calm,
when I'm laid to my rest ...
And the world will be better for this:
That one man, scorned and covered with scars,
Still strove, with his last ounce of courage,
To reach ... the unreachable star ...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This song as I understand it is from The Man from La Manchia. (spelling?)
Chasing windmills and the Alliance, both had their quests, and both were overwhelmed by them. Good choice.
If I'm a bitch, then life just got interesting

Ok, I know there are a lot of people who hate Nickleback. I'm one of the people who loved them in the beggining and hated them as they got too commercial, but their newest songs are slowly warming me up to them again and I just got this one song that I listened to simply because I thought it was a beautiful song, then I listened to the lyrics, and listened again, then I looked for the lyrics themselves and people, if NOTHING screams more Mal and Inarah and their un-requited love than this song, then I don't know what is. Get the song, download it if you have to, because once you put the lyrics with the song it will break your heart, make your spine shiver and just go DAMN! I ain't joking.
NICKLEBACK
"Far Away"
This time, This place
Misused, Mistakes
Too long, Too late
Who was I to make you wait
Just one chance
Just one breath
Just in case there's just one left
'Cause you know,
you know, you know
CHORUS
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
and you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore
On my knees, I'll ask
Last chance for one last dance
'Cause with you, I'd withstand
All of hell to hold your hand
I'd give it all
I'd give for us
Give anything but I won't give up
'Cause you know,
you know, you know
CHORUS
So far away
Been far away for far too long
So far away
Been far away for far too long
But you know, you know, you know
I wanted
I wanted you to stay
'Cause I needed
I need to hear you say
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I forgive you
For being away for far too long
So keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and, never let me go If I'm a bitch, then life just got interesting

Gotta say every time I listen to U2's Elevation I think of Firefly:)
High, higher than the sun
You shoot me from a gun
I need you to elevate me here
At corner of your lips
As the orbit of your hips
Eclipse
You elevate my soul
I've got no self control
Been living like a mole now
Going down, excavation
I and I in the sky
You make me feel like I can fly
So high
Elevation
A star
Lit up like a cigar
Strung out like a guitar
Maybe you can educate my mind
Explain all these controls
Can't sing but I've got soul
The goal is elevation
A mole
Digging in a hole
Digging up my soul now
Going down, excavation
I and I in the sky
You make me feel like I can fly
So high
Elevation
Love
Lift me up out of these blues
Won't you tell me something true
I believe in you
A mole
Digging in a hole
Digging up my soul now
Going down, excavation
Higher now
In the sky
You make me feel like I can fly
So high
Elevation
I choose to rise instead of fall- U2

Day After Tomorrow by Tom Waits.
Am I the only one who thinks he sounds like how the show feels?

Most of the U2 album - All That You Can't Leave Behind, particularly 'Walk On' M/I
The new Snow Patrol album, 'Eyes Open'
Quite a lot of other (recent-ish) U2 as well, from the 'Atomic Bomb' album
Blink-182
