Lyric Fridays - Playlist "procellous"
It's been a while since I posted anything. I've been busy with other things, and I just let this get away with me. Today I'm posting snippets from the songs that I listened to while I wrote my latest Mentalist fan fiction, "procellous".
Some songs inspired the story, while other ones on the list were merely used as background music. Others actually made it into the story as openers for my chapter. Then there are some I merely listened to just for the fun of it, they didn't have anything to do with the story, but they sure as heck helped the story along.

1. Fix You - Coldplay
And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home
and ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
2. One - Glee Cast Version
Have you come here for forgiveness
Have you come to raise the dead?
Have you come here to play Jesus to the lepers your head?
Well, did I ask too much
More than a lot?
You gave me nothing, now it's all I got
We're one, but we're not the same
We get to hurt each other
Now we do it again
3. Beautiful Disaster - Kelly Clarkson
He's magic and myth
As strong as what I believe
A tragedy with more damage than a soul should see
And do I try to change him? So hard not to blame him
Hold on tight, hold on tight. . .
Oh 'cause I don't know
I don't know what he's after
But he's so beautiful
Such a beautiful disaster
And if I could hold on through the tears and the laughter, would it be beautiful?
Or just a beautiful disaster?
4. 1 + 1 - Beyonce
Hey, I don't know much about guns
But I know I've been shot by you
Hey, and I don't know when I'm gonna die
but I hope I'm gonna die by you
And I don't know much about fighting
But I know I will fight with you
Just when I ball up my fist, I realize I'm lying right next to you
Baby, we ain't got nothing but love
And darling, you've got enough for the both of us
Oooh, make love to me when my days look low
Pull me in close and don't let me go
5. Run - Leona Lewis/Snow Patrol
To think I might not see those eyes makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbyes, I nearly do
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice I'll be right beside you dear
Louder, louder and we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak, I understand why you can't raise your voice to say
Slower, slower
You don't have time for that
All I want's to find an easier way to get out of our little heads
6. 9 Crimes - Damien Rice
Leave me out with the waste
This is not what I do
It's the wrong kind of place to be cheating on you
It's the wrong time
She's pulling me through
It's a small crime
And I've got no excuse
10. California King Bed - Rihanna
Just when I felt giving up on us
You turn around and give me one last touch
That made everything feel better and even than my eyes got wetter
So confused, I want to ask you if you love me
But I don't want to seem so weak
Maybe I've been California dreaming
11. Save You - Kelly Clarkson
We can pretend nothing's changed
Pretend it's all the same
And there'll be no pain tonight
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
Save you
I wish I could say to you, I'm not going no where
I wish I could say to you
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
12. Those You've Known - Spring Awakening Cast
I'll walk on my own through the distant night
And I won't let them stray from my heart
Through the wind, through the dark, through the winter light
I will read all their dreams to the star
I'll walk now with them
I'll call on their names
I'll see their thoughts, I know
Not gone
Not gone
They'll walk with my heart and I'll never let them go
13. Chasing Cars - Grey's Anatomy Cast/Snow Patrol
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
I don't quite know how to say how I feel
Those three words are said too much, they're not enough
14. Satellite Heart - Anya Marina
I hear you're living out of state
Running in a whole new scene
You know I haven't slept in weeks
You're the only thing I see
I'm a satellite heart
Lost in the dark
I'm spun out so far
You stop, I start
But I'll be true to you
15. This Woman's Work - Kate Bush
I should be crying
But I just can't let it slow
I should be hoping but I can't stop thinking
of all the things I should've said that I never said
All the things we should have done that we never did
All the things I should have given but I never did
Oh darling make it go away
16. Trouble - Ray LaMontagne
I've been saved by a woman
I've been saved by a woman
I've been saved by a woman
She won't let me go
She won't me go now
She won't me go
She won't let me go now
17. Can I Have a Kiss - Kelly Clarkson
I know why you left
I can't blame you myself
Must be so hard must living with ghosts and such an empty shell
18. Someone to Watch Over Me - Etta James (Ella Fitzgerald)
There is a saying, love is blind
Still we're often told seek and ye shall find
So I'm going to seek a certain man I had in mind
There's somebody I'm longing to see
I hope that he turns out to be someone who'll watch over me
19. Stop & Stare - OneRepublic
Stop and stare
I think I'm moving, but I go nowhere
Yeah, I know that everyone gets scared
But I become what I can't be
Stop and stare
You stop, don't wonder why you're here not there
And you'll give anything to give what's fair
But fair ain't really what you need
Oh, can you see what I see?
20. This Isn't Everything You Are - Snow Patrol
You can't find the phone so you can call it off
But it might be for the best
You can't walk away anyway
'Cause you've know where else to go
Is he worth all this?
Is it a simple yes?
'Cause if you have to think it's (explicit)
Seems that you loved him more than he loved you
And you wish you'd never met
21. Without You - Lea Michele
I can't erase, so I'll take blame
But I can't accept that we're estranged without you
Without you
I can't quit now, this can't be right
I can't take one more sleepless night without you
Without you
22. I Don't Believe You - P!nk
I don't mind it, still don't mind at all
It's like one of those bad dreams when you can't wake up
It looks like you've given up
You've had enough
But I want more
No I won't stop
'Cause I just know you'll come around
Right?
