So, I'm in the middle of several stories right now (my muse has a multiple personality thing) and I'm continually struck by songs that 'just go' with what I'm writing. I'm wondering if this happens to anyone else (other than the obvious songfics) and if they'd like to share?
I also found myself reading several fanfics and then hearing some of my favorite or new songs thinking...that would go perfectly with so and so's story. For example (hoping Yvonne doesn't mind the free plug) after reading Yvonne's
Addicted , the next time I heard the song "It's Been Awhile" by Staind, I could see her alt-Clark as a perfect match to the lyrics.
"It's Been Awhile"

(lyrics from
Lyrics.com -though I did edit for content)
And it's been awhile
Since I could hold my head up high
And it's been awhile
Since I first saw you
And it's been awhile
Since I could stand on my own two feet again
And it's been awhile
Since I could call you
And everything I can't remember
As [messed] up as it all may seem
The consequences that I've rendered
I've stretched myself beyond my means
And it's been awhile
Since I can say that I wasn't addicted
And it's been awhile
Since I can say I love myself as well
And it's been awhile
Since I've gone and [messed] things up just like I always do
And it's been awhile
But all that [stuff] seems to disappear when I'm with you
And everything I can't remember
As [messed] up as it all may seem
The consequences that I've rendered
I've gone and [messed] things up again
Why must I feel this way?
Just make this go away
Just one more peaceful day!
And it's been awhile
Since I could look at myself straight
And it's been awhile
Since I said I'm sorry
And it's been awhile
Since I've seen the way the candle lights your face
And it's been awhile
But I can still remember just the way you taste
And everything I can't remember
As [messed] up as it all may seem to be
I know it's me
I cannot blame this on my father
He did the best he could for me
And it's been awhile
Since I could hold my head up high
And it's been awhile
Since I said I'm sorry
For anyone that hasn't heard it, it sung with angst and anger...great song. I reccomend it.
I can list other songs and fics...but I thought I'd give others a chance first, if anyone's interested.
