Lois & Clark Forums Forums General Discussion Lois & Clark Plug in your iPods and come give some much-needed input!

I am working on coming up with songs for the CDs for the swag bags at LAFF (I *so* love the word swag) and I thought I'd broaden my horizons and ask you guys for some input.

What is ONE song that reminds you of Lois and Clark, and why?

**************************

My pick: "Alone" by Heart. (And no, not just because it's my favorite song.) Ironically, when I got Celine Dion's new CD back in November and heard her version, I immediately thought of Lois and Clark. And lo and behold, I am not the only one who thought that, because I found an outstanding music video on the L&C archive!

I think it is perfectly fitting of the evolution of Lois and Clark's relationship from when they met to the point in Season 2 where she had fallen for him -- and was really starting to get fed up with him for running out on her all the time (around "Whine, Whine, Whine").

The lyrics, "Till now, I always got by on my own, I never really cared until I met you ... and now it chills me to the bone ... how can I get you alone?" are just perfect to sum up Lois' feelings.

And it just may show up in something I'm writing, very soon.

The only song I have in my head at the moment is "The Power of Love - Celine Dion"

and I guess I don't need to describe why I think it fits for Lois and Clark.

oh and of course the song "Holding Out For A Hero - Bonnie Tyler" because it always reminds me of the Pilot where Clark tried to find a suit. Every time I hear this song I have to think of Superman "No one will look into your eyes..."

Let me think about that maybe I'll find some other songs too...

I'm thinking about Soulmate by Natasha Bedingfield

"Incompatible, it don't matter though, cause someone's bound to hear my cry"
"Is it possible Mr Loveable is already in my life
Right in front of me or maybe you're in disguise"
"Somebody tell me why I'm on my own
If there's a soulmate for eveyone"

I thought about Lois the first time I listened to the song. I've always thought this song could be used in a musicvideo

I'd have to say My Destiny by Katharine McPhee 'cause of the lyrics.

With you, finally I can break free
With you, I saw a changing in my destiny
Dream come true, it's so funny now that I see
How different life turned to be

Can I get any higher
Tell me, does it get any stronger?
I owe it to you, that I made it through
I never could've done it, without you

Aawwww.

The first song I thought about was actually Cold Hearted Snake by Paula Abdul.. but that's more Lois/Lex then Lois/Clark
Although, if there's room left on the CD, that would be nice to have on there too I love Paula!

(oh, god, no...please not Céline Dion...)

I'm going to say Count On Me by Default - it's a gorgeous song and, to me, it's totally their relationship at the beginning, with Lois always running back to Clark for comfort and he's always there for her.

Anytime you need someone
Somebody strong to lean on
Well you can count on me
To hold you till the healing is done
And every time you fall apart
Well you can hide here in my arms
And you can count on me
To hold you till that feeling is gone

Save me, by Dexter Freebish.

I like the lyrics because I think they apply to either Lois or Clark really. I think they both have agendas to save the world heh, but in case any of you have ever tried it (not saying that I have either LOL), it's not quite enough. You're not an island.

lyrics
Some days I need to change my world
One desire fills this empty void
Tonight I wanna be saved by you
I wanna be lost in you

I've fallen from the tops of mountains to the ground
I've shaken off the sands of time, marched to the sound
When the clock runs out, and there's no doubt, I feel so far from home
When the lies get worse, I'll just get hurt, I'll find myself alone
Tonight I wanna be saved by you
I wanna be lost in you

Sometimes when I get tired
I wanna be alone
The days pass uninspired
I sleep like a stone
It's better when I'm awake

"Hands to Heaven," by Breathe is a good Lois & Clark song. It makes me think of the night before Clark leaves for New Krypton.

Hands to Heaven - Breathe

As I watch you move, across the moonlit room
There's so much tenderness in your loving
Tomorrow I must leave, the dawn knows no reprieve
God give me strength when I am leaving

CHORUS:
So raise your hands to heaven and pray
That we'll be back together someday
Tonight, I need your sweet caress
Hold me in the darkness
Tonight, you calm my restlessness
You relieve my sadness

As we move to embrace, tears run down your face
I whisper words of love, so softly
I can't believe this pain, it's driving me insane
Without your touch, life will be lonely

CHORUS

Morning has come, another day
I must pack my bags and say goodbye, goodbye

CHORUS

Um, not there for Lois and Clark, but thought that Jimmy Olsen's Blues by the SpinDoctors would fitt in.

It won't be what you're looking for and it's a bizarre notion anyway, but for some odd reason The Waterboys' The Whole of the Moon always makes me think of LNC when I hear it. Perhaps because of its theme of a pessimist falling in love with an optimist. Who can tell? Great song anyway.

Whole ofthe Moon

Other than that - Small Talk by the Roxettes. I used it in a MV because it was cute and made me think of LNC.
Small Talk

LabRat

I could give you a huge list of songs that I think would suit Lois and Clark!

You and Me by Lifehouse even though it was used on Smallville for Lana and Clark I reckon it is a Lois and Clark song.

My Everything by 98 Degrees really reflects on how Clark feels about Lois.

Well at the moment that's all I can come up with will post more later!

Edit: This is the other songs that I reckon suit Lois and Clark-

I Promise You (With Everything I Am) by the Backstreet Boys especially the chorus:

I promise you from the bottom my heart
I will love you till death do us part
I promise you as a lover and a friend
I will love you like I never loved again with everything I am

This song was never released, but is on the album Black and Blue which has heaps of songs that could be used for Lois and Clark.

My Kinda Girl by Brian McKnight and Justin Timberlake is also a good one

We Belong Together by Mariah Carey

God Must Have Spent (A Little More Time On You) by NSYNC

Anywhere For You, More Than That, All I Have to Give, Just to Be Close to You, My Heart Stays With You, I'll Be There For You all by BSB.

One final one for thought Until the Time is Through by 5ive

'About You Now' by Sugababes always makes me think of HoL:-

Can we bring yesterday back around
'Cause I know how I feel about you now
I was dumb, I was wrong, I let you down
But I know how I feel about you now

Not a day passed me by
Not a day passed me by
That I don't think about you.
And there's no moving on
'Cause I know you're the one
And I can't be without you

I can remember some:

"L.O.V.E." by Ashlee Simpson (because of Clark's "mysterious" disappearances)

"Love doesn't have to hurt (to feel good)" by Atomic Kitten (first/ second season Lois' POV)

"Understand" by Christina Aguillera (once again first/ second season Lois' POV)

"Ever fallen in love" by Pete Yorn (First and second season - Clark's POV when Lois mistreated him)

"Will I ever make it home" by Ingram Hill (for the New Krypton arc)

Hope that helps a little!!

Oh! And also "You found me" by Kelly Clarkson (for me that definitively sums up the whole relationship)

Is this a dream?
If it is
Please don't wake me from this high
I'd become comfortably numb
Until you opened up my eyes
To what it's like
When everything's right
I can't believe

You found me
When no one else was lookin'
How did you know just where I would be?
Yeah, you broke through
All of my confusion
The ups and the downs
And you still didn't leave
I guess that you saw what nobody could see
You found me
You found me

So, here we are
That's pretty far
When you think of where we've been
No going back
I'm fading out
All that has faded me within
You're by my side
Now everything's fine
I can't believe

You found me
When no one else was lookin'
How did you know just where I would be?
Yeah, you broke through
All of my confusion
The ups and the downs
And you still didn't leave
I guess that you saw what nobody could see
You found me
You found me

And I was hiding
'Til you came along
And showed me where I belong
You found me
When no one else was lookin'
How did you know?
How did you know?

You found me
When no one else was lookin'
How did you know just where I would be?
Yeah, you broke through
All of my confusion
The ups and the downs
And you still didn't leave
I guess that you saw what nobody could see
You found me

(You found me)
(When no one else was lookin')
You found me
(How did you know just where I would be?)
You broke through
All of my confusion
The ups and the downs
And you still didn't leave
I guess that you saw what nobody could see
The good and the bad
And the things in between
You found me
You found me

I think Fighter by Christina Aguilera works for Lois. I think of her when I hear that song... parts of it could be about Claude or Paul or her dad or Lex.

After all you put me through
Youd think Id despise you
But in the end I want to thank you
Because you made me that much stronger

When i, thought I knew you
Thinking, that you were true
I guess i, I couldnt trust
Called your bluff, time is up
cause Ive had enough
You were, there by my side
Always, down for the ride
But your, joy ride just came down in flames
cause your greed sold me out of shame, mmhmm

After all of the stealing and cheating
You probably think that I hold resentment for you
But, uh uh, oh no, youre wrong
cause if it wasnt for all that you tried to do
I wanna know just how capable I am to pull through
So I wanna say thank you

cause it makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
It makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
Makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter

Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohhhh, ohh-yeah ah uhhhuh

Never, saw it coming
All of, your backstabbing
Just so, you could cash in
On a good thing before I realized your game
I heard, youre going around
Playing the victim now
But dont, even begin
Feeling Im the one to blame
cause you dug your own grave

After all of the fights and the lies
Yes you wanted to harm me but that wont work anymore
Uh, no more, oh no, its over
cause if it wasnt for all of your torture
I wouldnt know how to be this way now, and never back down
So I wanna say thank you

cause it makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
Makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
It makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter

How could this man I thought I knew
Turn out to be unjust so cruel
Could only see the good in you
Pretended not to see the truth
You tried to hide your lies, disguise yourself
Through living in dnial
But in the end youll see
You-wont-stop-me

I am a fighter and i
I aint goin stop
There is no turning back
Ive had enough

Hi Jenn,

While I don't have time to search my music library (I'm officially translating a medical dissertation on ulcers *yuck), here's a few songs from the top of my head:

- Sun Comes Up by John Legend
fabulous, laid-back song, perfect for Clark persuading Lois to give love a second chance:

So listen here now i know you've been hurt by the one before i know your pain
And i know you never thought you could love again but i know the way yeah yeah
And i know about your circumstance but love is here at a 2nd chance so take my hand and follow me you'll never wanna leave

- Love Will Come Through by Travis
one of the greatest songs ever. If this song were a man, I don't even want to know what I would do ...

and don't these lyrics just scream "Clark"?

If I told you a secret
You won't tell a soul
Will you hold it and
Keep it alive

Cause it's burning a hole
And I can't get to sleep
And I can't live alone
In this life

So look up, take it away
Don't look da-da-da-down
The mountain

If the world isn't turning
Your heart won't return
Anyone, anything, anyhow

So take me, don't leave me
Take me, don't leave me
Baby, love will come through
It's just waiting for you

- Nobody Wants To Be Lonely by Ricky Martin and Christina Aguilera
one of my guilty pleasures, but I really think it fits well for pre-HoL Lois and Clark

There you are, in a darkened room
And you're all alone, looking out the window
Your heart is cold and lost the will to love
Like a broken arrow
Here I stand in the shadows
In the shadows
Come to come, come to me
Can't you see that

Nobody wants to be lonely
Nobody wants to cry
My body's longing to hold you
So bad it hurts inside
Time is precious and it's slipping away
And I've been waiting for you all of my life (ohh)
Nobody wants to be lonely
So why (why), why don't you let me love you
