THATWEIRDGIRL's mention of "She Said, She Said" got me thinking of Revolver, which in turn made me think of the final song on that album, "Tomorrow Never Knows". I think it would fit for Serenity, everyones favorite tenth character.

I love the Corrs! I've got to find a Corrs song to go with Firefly... (this may take a little while...)

This is hard. Best matches I could find are off the new album: "Humdrum" which could go with Kaylee, and "Baby Be Brave" which could go with Inara.

Every time I hear Killer Queen by Queen now, I think of Inara. So many of the lyrics work perfectly.

Caviar and cigarettes
well versed in etiquette
Extraordinarily nice

She's a killer queen
gunpowder gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime.

Recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite
wanna try?

To avoid complications
She never kept the same address
In conversation
she spoke just like a baroness
Met a man from China
went down to Geisha Minah
Then again incidentally
if you're that way inclined (she's a
killer queen)

Perfume came naturally from Paris (naturally)
For cars she couldn't care less
Fastidious and precise
...
Drop of a hat she's as willing as
playful as a pussy cat
Then momentarily out of action
Temporarily out of gas
To absolutely drive you wild, wild...
She's all out to get you
...

I've thought of some more!
-Heroes by David Bowie, for... all of 'em.
-I am... I said by Neil Diamond, for Mal during OoG. ("...But I got an emptiness deep inside/And I've tried but it won't let me go/And I'm not a man who likes to swear/But I've never cared for the sound of being alone...")

Blue Sun by Darling Violetta - River
Blue Sun Blue Sun I never should have come Never should have left Blue Sun These emotions can't be mine I don't want to feel again Fill the void just one more time This will all be over soon I've begun to hear the siren song again Dreaming in a pretty shade of nothingness

I don't Get It - Cowboy Junkies - Ensamble
Breaking away to the other side I wanna make sense of why we live and die I don't get it, I don't get it Takin' my time to live and die I wanna find a way to do it right and I ease on,and I ease on
This is a stretch, but the music sounds like Firefly even if the lyrics are iffy

Closer To Fine - Indigo Girls - Ensamble
Well darkness has a hunger that's insatiable And lightness has a call that's hard to hear I wrap my fear around me like a blanket I sailed my ship of safety till I sank it, I'm crawling on your shore. There's more than one answer to these questions pointing me in crooked line The less I seek my source for some definitive The closer I am to fine.
The music is Firefly

Three Hits - Indigo Girls - Ensamble
would you trade your words for freedom that's a barter for a blind man
More than any other this music is Firefly - it a must hear

Firefly - Jewel- Ensamble
Firefly That’s what you are Burning for me My darkest hour + much more, too many lyrics to list
This song had been done already, but the vider took it down to re-tool months ago and it hasn't been back up.

Elsewhere - Sarah Mclachlan - Ensamble
I love the time and in between The calm inside me In the space where I can breathe I believe there is a Distance I have wandered To touch upon the years of Reaching out and reaching in Holding out holding in I believe This is heaven to no one else but me And I’ll defend it as long as I can be Left here to linger in silence If I choose to Would you try to understand
This one I like because those who live by the alliance rules don't understand why the Firefly crew choose to live in what amounts to a harsh life, but the crew feels it is their 'Serenity' even if others can't understand

Sorry for the long post

For some reason, I keep thinking of Leonard Cohen's "Everybody Knows" for Mal:

Everybody knows the dice are loaded,
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed.
Everybody knows the war is over,
Everybody knows the good guys lost.

Everybody knows the fight was fixed,
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich.
That's how it goes,
And everybody knows.


And of course, it's hard to resist the thought of the Eurythmics' "Missionary Man" for Book...
