Character Songs (BONES [tv series])
Hey, a teensy bit of randomness here... :) I know that y'all have probably done this already, all fandoms I've ever been in involved in (or heard of) have this - a sort of series/fandom "soundtrack", or at least a list of songs that fans can somehow attribute to their fandom or its characters.
I was going through some songs I had on my computer to help my cousin prepare for a DJ gig, and came across this one - I think its an old country pop song? Not sure, but the version I have is the iTunes DL of American Idol's Phil Stacey singing "The Change" (original by Garth Brooks - who I still love, no matter what). GORGEOUS song (I think that the most attractive thing about country music, or rather the most attractive quality it could ever have for me, is its tradition for beautiful, honest and profound lyrics). Anyway, I was listening to the song and it suddenly occurred to me that it would be a great character song for Booth, especially when it comes to what he believes in and what he attempts to do in his life. For those of you unfamiliar (or are familiar and want to hear/see it again, *lol*)
Phil Stacey - The Change (on American Idol)
THE CHANGE (full lyrics)
One hand
Reaches out
And pulls a lost soul from harm
While a thousand more go unspoken for
They say what good have you done
By saving just this one
It's like whispering a prayer
In the fury of a storm
And I hear them saying you'll never change things
And no matter what you do it's still the same thing
But it's not the world that I am changing
I do this so this world will know
That it will not change me
This heart
Still believes
The love and mercy still exist
While all the hatred rage and so many say
That love is all but pointless in madness such as this
It's like trying to stop a fire
With the moisture from a kiss
And I hear them saying you'll never change things
And no matter what you do it's still the same thing
But it's not the world that I am changing
I do this so this world will know
That it will not change me
As long as one heart still holds on
Then hope is never really gone
I hear them saying you'll never change things
And no matter what you do it's still the same thing
But it's not the world that I am changing
I do this so this world we know
Never changes me
What I do is so
This world will know
That it will not change me

So what do you guys think? And if this game hasn't been played before, what other songs do you think can be attributed to Booth, or any of the other BONES characters?
[Edit:] My cousin (who's over) just asked why I don't just post Garth Brooks' video. Here's the reason: I tried to look for his original video...and got several results of videos that are memorial/tributes for the 9/11 attacks. I cannot watch any of that footage again. And that's all I will say on that matter. So please look them up on your own.
