Hello. I'm new here. The first time i saw Firefly i saw part of Shindig. From the dancing part to a little bit after the swordfight i believe. I loved it but had no idea what it was i was watching and didn't find out till a long while later when my fiance bought the dvd set for herself. It's just such an amazing and unique show.

Anyways, i'm wanting to make some music videos about Firefly and ones for each of the characters hopefully. So i'd like some suggestions on what songs remind people of the show or certain characters or anything Firefly and why? Especially looking for accurate lyrics. I found some on my own but some could be better and there's still a few i couldn't find the right songs for at all. I'd appreciate any suggestions

Welcome to our site!! Make yourself at home.

Great idea on the songs. I don't have songs for everyone, but I've thought about this before and have a few:

Jayne: A Boy Named Sue by Johnny Cash
(yeah, it would be better if it were A Boy Named Jayne, but I think the core message is the same )

River: Strange Little Girls as performed by Tori Amos
('nuf said )

Inara: Spark by Tori Amos
(it seems an odd choice but I think it captures her sadness and isolation and her desires -- "you say you don't want it - this circus we're in, but you don't, don't really mean it")

That's all I have for now, and I have to go do some real work, but if I think of others, I'll hop on the thread again.

Mal - Behind Blue Eyes The Who

He pops into my head whenever I hear that song now.

The fact that one of my all-time favorite characters is tied to one of my favorite songs is a shiny thing, indeed

All my life I wanted to be somebody. I guess I should have been more specific.

Been thinking about this awhile...

Jayne & Mal: Holding Out For a Hero by Frou Frou (Shrek 2 Sountrack)

Inara: Forget About It by Alison Krauss and Union Station

Wash & Zoe: It's My Life by No Doubt

I've already suggested elsewhere:

"To the Moon and Back" by Savage Garden, for Zoe (& Wash).

"Glorious" by Smashing Pumpkins, from Wash to Zoe.

"Click Click Boom" by Saliva, for Jayne and assorted gunplay (i.e., River, in "War Stories," seems to be almost in rythm. . .)

And some new ones:

"Woke Up In a Car" by Something Corporate, for River (& Serenity).
(I've never been so lost, I've never felt so much at home)

"One Girl Revolution" by Superchic(k), for either River (as per Zoid's "Future Quotes" series), or Zoe.
(I am everything that I wanna be. I am confidence in insecurity. I am the voice that's waiting to be heard. I'll shoot the shot *bang* that you'll hear 'round the world)

"Just Like A Pill" by Pink, for Kaylee/Simon sparkage (and Simon's foot-swallowing).
('stead of makin' me better, you're makin' me ill)

"I'm Still Here" by Mike Reznick, for Mal (& Zoe), post War.
(they can't break me, as long as I know who I am)

"Hot Rod Lincoln" by Commander Cody, for Serenity (& Wash, 'cause it seems like his style).
(My pappy said "son, you gonna drive me to drinkin' if you don't stop drivin' that hot rod Lincoln.")

"The Boys Are Back in Town" by ???, for the BDH in Serenity.
(Guess who just got back today)

Thanks for the responses so far. Almost all are songs i haven't heard or at least hadn't thought of so it'll be great to hunt em down and have some stuff to work with. Any more suggestions would be very welcome. Still a couple characters i don't even have a clue on. Keep the ideas coming. I really appreciate the help. Also thanks for making me feel welcome

Jayne: Judas Preist - You got another thing comming
