gwenfrankenstienI'm feeling really nostalgic for season one of Lost! But not enough to like, watch it, or anything. But I have been talking to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
soda_and_capes about Locke/Boone and Boone/Shannon, and it reminded me of this. Which is a fanmix I made when I was about fourteen and never shared with anyone ever because I was embarrassed of it!
Link.
1. Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young: Helplessly Hoping
(Love isn't lying, it's loose/in a lady who lingers/saying she is lost/and choking on "Hello".)
...I looked through my entire music library at the time looking for songs with the word "Lost" in the lyrics, because for some reason I thought this was clever. I'm almost certain I had this text on a terrible MSPaint-tastic Shannon icon. It's funny 'cos I don't associate this song with them at all anymore.
2. Dashboard Confessional: Best Deceptions
(I heard about your regrets/I heard that you were feeling sorry/I heard from someone that you wish you could set things right between us/Well I guess I should have heard of that from you.)
I HAVE NO IDEA HOW I EVEN KNEW THIS SONG. I think it must have been in someone else's Boone/Shannon fanvid or something, because fourteen-year-old-me loathed Dashboard with a fiery passion. Mostly because the people I desperately wanted to fit in with in middle school had hated them, but also because it's always pissed me off when guys sing higher than me.
3. U2: Crumbs From Your Table
(You were pretty as a picture/it was all there to see/then your face caught up with your psychology/with a mouth full of teeth/you ate all your friends/you broke every heart/thinking every heart mends.)
This album (How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb) came out right at the height of my Lost obsession, and as a result I associate nearly every track with something Lost-related. This is the sort of thing my brain does. This time, it worked out well, but when Dark Knight came out I was listening to loads of Cobra Starship, which is a rather stranger mental association...
4. Barenaked Ladies: Told You So
I never thought that it could be painless/but it is, I guess/I had myself fooled into needing you/did I fool you too?
This sooooong. I was also obsessively listening to the Ladies at the time! I miss when they were allowed to write serious songs, because I still do think this song is beautiful. I mean, I love "Million Dollars" as much as the next person, but seriously, this is a great song! Also so perfect for this pairing, oh man.
5. Barenaked Ladies: Call And Answer
(I'm warning you/don't ever do/those crazy, messed-up things that you do/it's time to prove/you've come back here to rebuild.)
Basically the same thing I said above, only less so? I don't think this is as clever or as gorgeous as Told You So, and I don't always think of Boone and Shannon when I hear it. I think at the time the Ladies had just come out with "Postcards From A Chimpanzee" or whatever that song was called, so I was aggressively listening to their serious stuff in retaliation.
6. U2: A Man And A Woman
(Little sister/I've been sleeping in the street again/like a stray dog/little sister/I've been trying to feel complete again/but you're gone and so's God.)
See? More U2. I really, really loved that album. I am pretty sure Bono is not talking about his actual literal sister here! I still kind of think this fits them, but I haven't seen the relevant episodes since they aired, so there is probably a bit of selective memory going on.
7. Gerard McMann: Cry Little Sister
(Cry, little sister/come, come to your brother/unchain me, sister/love is with your brother.>
I... Actually tried to make a fanvid to this song. Thank god that harddrive died before I managed to embarrass myself by sharing it, it was... really bad. It doesn't even fit them half as well as basically anything else on this list, but because it was about brother/sister incest and also death, I kept trying to force it to fit. Fourteen-year-old fangirls are not known for their subtlety, okay?
You will notice that this is entirely from the male POV! I was struggling with some wacky internalised sexism issues at the time, where I hated everything feminine. I still had women and female characters that I loved, but anything girly disgusted me for a few years there.
