Non-fic: Soundtrack for Reunited

[aibhinn_fics]

Okay, so I'm working on the sequel to Reunited--or trying to--and I'm stuck. Not in the story, but in the ambition, or lack thereof. I need help--and it occurs to me that a soundtrack might help. I've got a start on one, but I thought I'd ask some of you lot to help me out, since I'm sure you're much better at this sort of thing than I am.

Broken Wings, Mr. Mister
Desert Rose, Sting
Fear, Sarah MacLachlan
Kiss From a Rose, Seal

These four songs along make me love you so much more than I already do. Seriously, they are some of my all time favourites. Broken Wings especially.

Mine too! I've been having entirely too much fun going through and finding all my favourite songs to put onto my iPod. I'm not close to done, but I've got well over 500 so far. :D

*headdesk* I can't believe I didn't think of this song before. "Petals" by Mariah Carey always makes me think of the Doctor and Rose and the following verse makes me think of the Doctor, Rose and Jack:

A boy and a girl befriended me
We're bonded through despondency
I stayed so long but finally
I fled to save my sanity

I don't know....you might not think it fits, but it does for me....Hmm... lol

Mine Again, Black Lab - I can't think of anyone else when I hear this song.

Oh, yes! That's perfect! *adds to list*

what about Hanging By A Moment by Lifehouse and Twilight by Vanessa Carlton and White Houses by Vanessa Carlton. Good Luck!

Ooh, Hanging By a Moment and Twilight, definitely! Not sure about White Houses; the last verse fits really well but I'm not sure about the earlier ones. I'll think on it. :)

Thank you! I hadn't heard the Vanessa Carlton ones.

Have I just started a new meme -- make up soundtracks when you're stuck on writing? XD

Anyway, I've always thought Clannad's "Closer To Your Heart" is a nice general reunion piece, as is their "Journey's End," (both off of Macalla though I haven't put those into any of my own soundtracks.

Heck, hard for me to pick stuff that *isn't* on one of my soundtracks, if I think it's apropos. Consider those to be my recommendations, too! :D

Consider those to be my recommendations, too!

You mean your own soundtracks? Cool! Thanks. :D

And I like those two Clannad songs... *goes looking for them*
