Lois & Clark Forums Forums Fan Fiction Fanfic Related Fanfic Soundtracks???

/me pats Wendy on the back and tells her it's also in the queue! Don't fret.

PS - Glad you're back

Lynn

I have to admit I rarely associate songs with any of the fics... if I do, it's only because I'm thinking what to use in a trailer, and then it just automatically pops up into my head... Though I'm used to write a story *based* upon a song.

Now, the one thing I do associate with fics, is film scores. Most people probably know by now that I'm obsessed with the genre, can easily recognize a composer just by hearing his technique in the music and can name quite a few of them. The mood, the feelings... with every story I read, I automatically think of a composer/score that would go perfectly with it.

Take "For the Greater Good" (Wendy's), for instance - before Clark found out that he'd have to sacrifice himself to save the rest of the world, the happy feelings... I don't know, it was kind of a feminine touch about the beginning, so I instantly thought of Rachel Portman's "The Cider House Rules" theme. A slow motion of Clark fooling around on the hill, holding one of the kids on his shoulders, playing "Catch!" with his other one. Then it turns darker.. a John Powell transition worked pretty good, but not for the rest of it. Then it would require Hans Zimmer, Jerry Goldsmith (on his better days) or maybe even James Newton Howard: beautiful, haunting and yet he has the power to scare the heck out of you.

That I think of the music from "Speed" by Mark Mancina when it comes to LabRat's "Masques" is no secret <g>, but there's also quite a lot Final Fantasy (by Nobuo Uematsu) I imagine with the scenes (not the piano scores, though).

Sometimes I even compose a few pieces myself to go with a story I just read. Stories like "Anybody's Baby", "Save Me, Superman", "The Marriage Pact", "Echoes of the Past", "Tryst", "HiM: The Video" and a few more, all have something I just found it naturally to write music for. I've gotten a few puzzled looks from some of my friends, though, when they heard what I played and wondered what kind of sheet music "Theme from Save Me, Superman" was.

But there was one song I thought of when I read Through the Window/And Back Again, though not the one you mentioned, Sara. It will appear on the trailers for them (that are way long overdue, but on their way), so I don't want to spoil anything by saying which one. But it just... fit.

So, fanfic soundtracks? Bring in the instrumental pieces too!

Pelican

Oh, well...that is just...wow!!!

You can't see the dance I'm doing in my kitchen, Pel, so I'll just do my best to replicate it here (btw, it's set to something instrumental...).



CC

Any chance we'll listen to your instrumental pieces, Pel?

AnnaBtG.

P.S.: Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease!

For CC Aikens' current story (The late, great Lois Lane) (and I love how 'late' means two things... she was thought to be dead, but isn't (she was formerly thought to be 'late'). However, she is 'late' in her entry into his life... he's married, and she's involved, and so... late on the scene...)

WIthout further babbling: For Clark and LANA

"Ever fall in love" (Peter Yorn)

You spurn my natural emotions

You make me feel like dirt

And I’m hurt

And if I start a commotion

I run the risk of losing you

And that’s worse


Ever fallen in love with someone

Ever fallen in love

In love with someone

Ever fallen in love

In love with someone

You shouldn’t’ve fallen in love with


I can’t see much of a future

Unless we find out what’s to blame

What a shame

And we won’t be together much longer

Unless we realize that we are the same


Ever fallen in love with someone

Ever fallen in love

In love with someone

Ever fallen in love

In love with someone

You shouldn’t’ve fallen in love with


You disturb my natural emotions

You make me feel like dirt

And I’m hurt

And if I start a commotion

I’ll only end up losing you

And that’s worse


Ever fallen in love with someone

Ever fallen in love

In love with someone

Ever fallen in love

In love with someone

You shouldn’t’ve fallen in love with


Ever fallen in love with someone

Ever fallen in love

In love with someone

Ever fallen in love

In love with someone

You shouldn’t’ve fallen in love with

Fallen in love with

Ever fallen in love with someone

You shouldn’t’ve fallen in love with

I've got so many things to send off now, and I'm glad that I have the time now that finals are *finally* over (and I'm still alive!!), so... the amount will be a new record for me.

LOL! Ahm... I have to admit I doubt it. The authors would have a big laugh. <g>I figured if I sometime write music for a story and plan on making a trailer for it, *and* I can't find any other music that'll fit with it - then maybe I'll use my own. But I kind of have that option as last resort. <g> I do play on an el. piano, and I do have recording devices to go with it, so that wouldn't be a problem. I haven't tried it yet, but it doesn't look too hard.

Pelican

Oh, if we're talking lyrics for CC's The Late Great Lois Lane, this one works quite well, too. It's an oldy, though <g>.

Sad to Belong by
England Dan And John Ford Coley

Met you on a springtime day
You were mindin' your life
And I was minding mine, too
Lady, when you looked my way
I had a strange sensation
and, darling, that's when I knew

That it's sad to belong to someone else
When the right one comes along
Yes, it's sad to belong to someone else
When the right one comes along

Oh, I wake up in the night
And I reach beside me hoping you will be there
But instead I find someone
Who believed in me when I said
I'd always care

Oh, it's sad to belong to someone else
When the right one comes along
Yes, it's sad to belong to someone else
When the right one comes along

So I live my life in a dream world
For the rest of my days
Just you and me walking hand in hand
In a wishful memory
Oh, I guess that's all that it could ever be

Wish I had a time machine,
I could make myself go back
Until the day I was born
and I would live my life again
and rearrange it so that I'll be yours from now on

Oh, it's sad to belong to someone else
When the right one comes along
Yes, it's sad to belong to someone else
When the right one comes along



Lynn

/me whispers that she also has a great idea for the song to use on a trailer for this story, but she has no time frame in mind at this point. Waiting for the story to wrap up <g>.

After seeing Kae's video for My Immortal by Evanescence, it reminded me of another fanfic. Though I haven't read it in a while, this song remind me of Pam Jernigan's "Tryst". I'll post the lyrics just in case not everyone's heard it.

"My Immortal"

I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

[Chorus:]
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me

You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

[Chorus]

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along

[Chorus]

Sara (who can't stop listening to songs without trying to find a fanfic to fit it)

Sara,

i can never listen to "Bring me to life" without thinking of Buffy & Spike in season 6 BtVS.

L, that makes me wish I'd watched Buffy. I like Sarah Michelle Gellar and I like the type of show it was, I'm just not sure why I never got to watch it. I think I was a little turned off because I was so in love with the movie with Kristy Swanson and Luke Perry. I thought it was a betrayal of the fine( :rolleyes: ) work they'd done back in...1993? Anyway, Evanessance is a great band and I'm glad it's inspired so much in this fandom as well as others.

Sara

Is anyone sick of this topic yet? I am a little myself :rolleyes: , but only because *so* many songs I'm hearing keep reminding me of what I'm writing right now. So...here are some songs for "Wherever You Will Go"

Everytime
by Brittney Spears (yes, guilty pleasure, I admit it and it doesn't fit everything, but I love the chorus)

Notice me
Take my hand
Why are we
Strangers when
Our love is strong
Why carry on without me?

Everytime I try to fly
I fall without my wings
I feel so small
I guess I need you baby
And everytime I see you in my dreams
I see your face, you're haunting me
I guess I need you baby

I make believe
That you are here
It's the only way
I see clear
What have I done
You seem to move on easy

Everytime I try to fly
I fall without my wings
I feel so small
I guess I need you baby
Everytime I see you in my dreams
I see your face, you're haunting me
I guess I need you baby

I may have made it rain
Please forgive me
My weakness caused you pain
And this song is my sorry

At night I pray
That soon your face
Will fade away

Everytime I try to fly
I fall without my wings
I feel so small
I guess I need you baby
And everytime I see you in my dreams
I see your face, you're haunting me
I guess I need you baby


"Carry On Wayward Son"
by Kansas (poetically cute, dontcha think?)

(Chorus)

Once I rose above the noise and confusion
Just to get a glimpse beyond the illusion
I was soaring ever higher, but I flew too high
Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man
Though my mind could think I still was a mad man
I hear the voices when I'm dreamin',
I can hear them say

(Chorus)
Carry on my wayward son,
For there'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Now don't you cry no more

Masquerading as a man with a reason
My charade is the event of the season
And if I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know
On a stormy sea of moving emotion
Tossed about I'm like a ship on the ocean
I set a course for winds of fortune, but I hear the voices say

Carry on, you will always remember
Carry on, nothing equals the splendor
Now your life's no longer empty
Surely heaven waits for you

(Chorus)

That one reminded me of 'em too when I first got it. Yeah.....<blush> I'm a Spears fan. Here comes the teasing.........

"Everytime"? Well....... at least I like the piano in it.

Pelican

You think the Hanson fan is going to talk smack? Britney's by no means my favorite, but to each his own.

JD

U2's song With or Without You reminds me of Clark in Kaethel's Near Wild Heaven.

"With Or Without You"

See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I wait for you

Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait without you

With or without you
With or without you

Through the storm we reach the shore
You give it all but I want more
And I'm waiting for you

With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you

And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away

My hands are tied
My body bruised, she's got me with
Nothing to win and
Nothing left to lose

And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away

With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you

With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you
With or without you

Oooh, I love that song, Sara, and you're right, it does fit Clark's mood. Thanks for this bit of inspiration for NWH II.

Kaethel

No problem, Kae! Anything to help you along. (Just in case. )

I just heard this song for the first time last week and it struck me as something Clark would be thinking on New Krypton. This is for those of you dying to know about Clark in Wherever You Will Go.

"Will I Ever Make It Home"
by Ingram Hill

I woke up from my sleep to the sound of that voice
From the words that I heard I had no choice
They told me I had to turn around
My assurance slowly faded down
And I wonder

Will I ever make it home
Will I ever leave the ground
Leave this place so far behind

The plans that I had were quickly destroyed
The problem was one I couldn't avoid
They welcomed me to stay overnight
I'm too tired to complain so i just might
And I wonder

Will I ever make it home
To the place I recognize
Far from here and where I've been
And all the places that I've been shown
Will I ever make it home
Can they keep me here for good
Where I hardly know a soul
And my fear keeps going on

My weariness keeps growing inside
My patience is starting to subside
And I hope I'll be there soon
It can't be long or I'll fall through

Will I ever make it home
Will I ever leave the ground
Leave this place so far behind
Till ther eis no turning back
Will I ever make it home
Get to where I wanna be
Find the ones who wait for me
To the place where I belong
Will I ever make it home

Sara, !!! I want Clark back....

MDL.

Sorry Erica...not for a while if at all. And I'm not telling which.

I'm starting to think I just shouldn't listen to the radio anymore...cause I heard another song that reminded me a little of my story, but very much more so of Kaylle's In Dreams.

It's a song I love and I really can't believe I haven't posted it here yet, but that may have something to do with the fact that I just reccently read In Dreams. So here you go Kaylle.


"Here Without You"
by 3 Doors Down

A hundred days have made me older
Since the last time that i saw your pretty face
A thousand lies have made me colder
And i don't think i can look at this the same
But all these miles that seperate
Disappear now when i'm dreaming of your face

I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
And i dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight it's only you and me

The miles just keep rollin'
As the people leave their way to say hello
I've heard this life was overrated
But i hope that it gets better as we go

I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
And i dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl its only you and me

Everything i know,and anywhere i go
It gets hard but it wont take away my love
And when the last one falls
When it's all said and done
It gets hard but it wont take away my love

I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
And i dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl its only you and me

Sara (*sigh* I love that song and that story! )

Yeah, I'm back with more. It's amazing how many songs I've heard for the nth time that now remind me of In Dreams. Kaylle, what can I say? You've infected my brain.

Higher
by Creed

When I’m dreaming I’m guided to another world
Time and time again
At sunrise I fight to stay asleep
Cause I don’t want to leave the comfort of this place
Cause there’s a hunger, longing to escape
From the life I live when I’m awake

So lets go there
Lets make our escape
Come on; let’s go there
Lets ask can we stay?

Chorus
Can you take me higher?
To the place where blind men see
Can you take me higher?
To the place with golden streets

Although I would like our world to change
It helps me to appreciate
Those nights and those dreams
But my friend I’d sacrifice all those nights
If I could make the earth and my dreams the same

The only difference is
To let love replace all our hate
So lets go there
Lets make our escape
Come on
Lets go there lets ask can we stay

Chorus

Lets go there
Lets go there
Lets go there
Lets ask can we stay

Up high I feel like I’m alive for the very first time
Sat up high I’m strong enough to take these dreams
And make them mine
And make them mine

Chorus x2

I Knew I Loved You
by Savage Garden

Maybe it's intuition
But some things you just don't question
Like in your eyes, I see my future in an instant
And there it goes,
I think I found my best friend
I know that it might sound
More than a little crazy
But I believe........

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life

There's just no rhyme or reason
Only the sense of completion
And in your eyes, I see
The missing pieces I'm searching for
I think I've found my way home
I know that it might sound
More than a little crazy
But I believe

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life

A thousand angels dance around you
I am complete now that I've found you

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life

(To Fade)

And then there's this song, which I always liked just because of the chorus lines: "When you are with me I'm free I'm careless, I believe. Above all the others we'll fly." You know, because it sounded Lois and Clark-y. But when I listened to it again after reccently nagging Kae for NWH2, the whole song clicked into place as something that 'just fit.' I listened to it again (hey, you already know I'm obsessive ) and thought it also seemed to encompass altClark's feelings in Wherever You Will Go. Anyway...this is mainly to inspire Kae , so here ya go!

My Sacrifice
by Creed

Hello my friend, we meet again
It's been awhile, where should we begin?
Feels like forever
Within my heart are memories
Of perfect love that you gave to me
Oh, I remember

When you are with me, I'm free
I'm careless, I believe
Above all the others we'll fly
This brings tears to my eyes
My sacrifice

We've seen our share of ups and downs
Oh how quickly life can turn around
In an instant
It feels so good to reunite
Within yourself and within your mind
Let's find peace there

When you are with me, I'm free
I'm careless, I believe
Above all the others we'll fly
This brings tears to my eyes
My sacrifice

I just want to say hello again
I just want to say hello again

When you are with me I'm free
I'm careless, I believe
Above all the others we'll fly
This brings tears to my eyes
Cause when you are with me I am free
I'm careless, I believe
Above all the others we'll fly
This brings tears to my eyes
My sacrifice, My sacrifice

I just want to say hello again
I just want to say hello again

My sacrifice.

Okay, I'm done...for now. I'll probably be back later.
