For Keeps
I've somehow managed to barrel through all of Bones in a week and half.
Somewhere around hour 30 or so, I began to appreciate
the dysfunctional, improbable, but undeniable: Hodgins and Angela.
("Hodgela" manages to simultaneously remind me of hedgehogs and hodgepodge)
This mix is a musical wandering through their ups and downs, from when they met to where they might be going.
The album art references "Yanks in the U.K. Part I"
Yes, that is a TMNT Party Wagon.
Spoiler warnings for all of Bones, ever, pretty much.
Lover // Devendra Banhart
Hodgins: Hey, have I mentioned how excited I am to be working with you?
Just give me my first chance, it's gonna be the last,
I'm gonna make you wanna stay.
I Will Possess Your Heart // Death Cab for Cutie
Hodgins: These women.
Angela: Right, not stupid. And frankly, that they allowed themselves to be duped is a sad statement on how lean the market is out there.
Hodgins: I resent that. I'm out there.
Angela: You certainly are.
You gotta spend some time with me,
and I know that you'll find, love,
I will possess your heart.
Swingset Chain // Loquat
Hodgins: We've been dancing around this for months now, like two pieces of neodymium caught in a magnetic field.
Angela: Is that good?
Hodgins: Yeah. But if the field weakens, they fly apart.
I'm freaking out that we've started breaking down
before momentum picked up.
Love You 'til the End // The Pogues
Hodgins: No, I mean I'm afraid, that when I close my eyes, when I open them I'm gonna be back in that car, buried, running out of air.
Angela: Okay. Then you should come with me.
Hodgins: What?
Angela: When you open your eyes, I'll be there.
I just want to feel you
when the night puts on its cloak.
You Think I Don't Care // Jack McManus
Hodgins: I thought we did trust each other.
Angela: Yeah, I did too. Two people who don’t trust each other shouldn’t be together at all.
Hodgins: You really think that?
Angela: Don’t you?
Hodgins: I mean, yeah, I do. I mean, I actually do think that, but, oh my god.
Angela: Yeah.
Hodgins: I don't know what happened.
Is it just too little too late?
I messed it up,
I think I messed it up,
and I think I messed it up with you.
Popular Mechanics for Lovers // Beulah
Hodgins: You know, there was a time that I thought Angela and I would be together forever.
Did you forget to read the script?
There was never a role for him.
It was always you and me, just me.
Popular mechanics for broken hearts could help me now.
Come on Get Higher // Matt Nathanson
Angela: You know, all you had to do was trust me.
Hodgins: Hey, you're the one that's leaving.
Angela: You're the one that isn't stopping me.
And I ache to remember
all the violent, sweet, perfect words that you said.
Kandi // One EskimO
Hodgins: I'm your guy.
Angela: What?
Hodgins: I'm your guy. I love you. I love you and I want to help you in whatever way I can. If, if you want to move in together, if you want to get married, I'm here for you. And for the baby. In whatever role you need. Okay.
You've been my queen for longer than you know.
My love for you has been
every step I take, every day I live, everything I see,
and if I get things wrong
don't want you to think that I'm running away.
Sway // The Perishers
Hodgins: He is better for having known you, Angela.
Angela: And how can you be sure?
Hodgins: Because I've been there.
I look at you and see a friend.
I hope that's what you wanna be.
Are we back now where it all began?
Love You More // Alexi Murdoch
Hodgins: You said, "All you had to do was trust me."
Angela: And you said, "Hey, you're the one who's leaving."
Hodgins: And then you said, "You're the one who isn't stopping me."
Angela: And I left.
Hodgins: Yeah.
Angela: Really wish I hadn't.
Hodgins: The biggest regret of my life is I didn't stop you.
Love you more than anyone,
love you more in time to come.
Paris // Benton Paul
Hodgins: You know, I've always wanted to go to Paris with an artist.
There comes a time for everyone
to find a place where they belong,
feeling alone out on the ocean.
Yours and mine are different yet the same.
This Will Be Our Year // The Zombies
Angela: Well, everything's changing, huh?
Hodgins: Yeah.
Angela: What do you think's gonna happen?
Hodgins: Not sure, but I do know that we'll be together. Ready?
Don't let go of my hand
now the darkness has gone.
This will be our year,
took a long time to come.
