I haven't made a fanmix in a while but Troy and Gabriella needed one. I think it's fair to say I'm obsessed by them. Ten songs that I feel fit their relationship in some way or another. I hope you enjoy.
Troy & Gabriella
Not A Want But A Need
1.
Start of Something New - Troy & Gabriella
I know that something has changed
Never felt this way and right here tonight
This could be the start of something new
It feels so right to be here with you
And now looking in your eyes I feel in my heart
The start of something new
[Troy and Gabriella's first meeting at the ski lodge. Not talking just singing to one another and during the song, they've found a connection]
2.
Love In December - Club 8
So this is love
In the end of December.
Quiet nights,
Quiet stars.
And I'm here,
Monday to Sunday,
Cause you're fragile
And I'm weak.
[This is their first meeting at the ski lodge at the end of December and their favorite partof their vacation. They ring in the New Year together before they have to part. Troy and his parents leave the lodge the following day, leaving Gabriella alone]
3.
Something To Talk About - Bonnie Raitt
They think we're lovers kept under cover,
I just ignore it but they keep sayin' we...
Laugh just a little too loud,
Stand just a little too close,
We stare just a little too long.
Maybe they're seein', somethin' we don't darlin'.
[When the two meet up again at East High, people immediately start wondering what that's all about. From Chad noticing Troy looking at her in homeroom, to Gabriella asking Taylor about Troy. No-one knows why or how they're so interested in each other - but they know that there's something there]
4.
Talk About Our Love - Brandy ft. Kanye West
The more they talk about our love
The more they make it obvious
The more they seem so envious
How can they talk about our love
(When they don't know)
When they don't know one thing about (us)
And then they just runnin' they mouths
(So) All we do is tune them out
[When everyone discovers that Troy and Gabriella are up for the roles in the musical, they're confused. Sharpay and Ryan are threatened, Chad and the basketball team think Troy's gone completely crazy, and Taylor fears for their chances at the Scholastic Decathalon. They just don't seem to understand]
5.
You Give Me Something - James Morrison
'Cause you give me something,
That makes my skin go wry,
This could be nothin,
But I'm willin to give it a try,
Please give me something,
Cause someday I might call you from my heart.
[Troy POV. There's something about Gabriella that's different from all the other girls. He's not quite sure what it is but it's affecting him. He's getting detention, he's keeping secrets, missing basketball practice. All because he wants to sing with her]
6.
Head over Feet - Alanis Morissette
You treat me like I´m a princess,
I´m not used to liking that
You ask how my day was.
You´ve already won me over in spite of me.
Don´t be alarmed if I fall head over feet
Don´t be surprised if I love you for all that you are.
I couldn´t help it.
It´s all your fault
[Gabriella's POV. She's feeling something she's never felt before. Being with Troy makes her feel braver and do things she was too afraid to do - like singing. Most of all, she's falling for him.]
7.
Just Want You To Know - Backstreet Boys
Looking at your picture from when we first met
You gave me a smile that I could never forget
And nothing I could do could protect me from you that night
Wrapped around your finger
Always in my mind
The days they blend 'cause we stayed up all night
Yeah, you and I were everything, everything to me
[When their friends intervene, Troy and Gabriella's relationship begins to fall apart. Hearing Troy say that Gabriella is 'just a girl' hurts her, especially after she thought he felt the same way about her. When Gabriella tells Troy that she understands and they should just stick to their own thing, he is even more confused and doesn't understand why she suddenly feels like this]
8.
More Than A Love Song - Augustana
More than a love song can give,
More than a feeling like this,
More than a dim light upon the path you walk,
More than my words can explain,
More than the falling rain,
More than the sun shines upon your lovely face;
It’s more than a love song.
[After their friends come clean about their part in breaking up Troy and Gabriella, Troy knows he needs to convince her to sing with him again. So he goes to her house and climbs on her balcony to sing her the first song they sang together. It's much more than a love song. Their relationship runs much deeper than two people singing a song]
9.
Breaking Free - Nikki Flores and Josh Hoge
We’re soarin’, flyin’
There’s not a star in heaven that we can’t reach
If we’re tryin'
Yeah we’re breaking free (Yeah we're breaking free)
Ohhhh runnin’, climbin’
To get to that place
And be all that we can be
Now’s the time yeah
So we’re breaking free
We’re breaking free
[Once all the complications have been sorted, Troy and Gabriella can finally sing together with the support of their friends. This is the time where they prove to their peers, their parents and themselves that they've got something special and that they're not going to let anyone stop them anymore]
10.
You're The One That I Want - John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John
You're the one that I want (you are the one I want)
You oo oo honey
The one that I want (you are the one I want)
You oo oo honey
You're the one I need
Oh, yes, indeed.
[This was just stuck in there for fun. HSM has obvious parallels to Grease so this is just a little homage to it. Troy and Gabriella only want each other though they are from different cliques and like different things - their singing brings them together and their relationship runs deeper than people can see]
