NOTE:
The Black Donnellys is such a new fandom. It's rare that after the first episode, anyone, let alone me -- should become so drawn in. Yet, it's happened. I instantly fell in love with the show; the interaction between the brothers, the way the story is told by Joey Ice Cream, the rich characterization, and of course -- the mob storyline.
And you know, I instantly fell in love with Tommy/Kevin. Because since when do you find two brothers that would just follow each other to the end of the earth. I mean, Kevin went with Tommy -- not even knowing where he was going, what he was going to do. Of course it wasn't going to be good. And they could have, potentially, died. But that's love for you. Family above all.
I hope you all enjoy it. :)
.ONE.
Damien Rice - Delicate |
dl We might kiss when we are alone
When nobody's watching
We might take it home
We might make out when nobody's there
It's not that we're scared
It's just that it's delicate
Because what Tommy and Kevin have is delicate. They're brothers, and they love each other more than they should; they're not scared of anything -- except perhaps losing each other.
.TWO.
Jem - Save Me |
dl And none of these thoughts are real
So why is it that I feel
So cut up and so bad
I need to take control
'Cause my mind is on a roll
And it isn't listening to me
After the accident with Jimmy's leg, Tommy made it his mission to save his brothers. To do his best to make them better. And now his mind isn't listening to him, he's with Kevin and this thing they have, it can't be good for him. Can it?
.THREE.
Imogen Heap - Loose Ends |
dl We're kissing without kissing
Got it down to a fine art
Love's supposed to keep you young and frisky
We grew up and far apart
Not now, not ever, no -- it's never a good time
He's this twenty-three year old artist with no concept of time, and his brother's this nineteen year old kid with a gambling habit. They're brothers. And love is supposed to keep you happy, but it's this big secret and it's killing them one minute at a time.
.FOUR.
Keane - Nothing In My Way |
dl And why'd you say
It's just another day, nothing in my way
I don't wanna go, I don't wanna stay
So there's nothing left to say
Kevin always maintained that he was the lucky one, even though he had never once won a single bet, and nothing could dissuade him of this notion. But there were moments, those moments where Tommy would live with his head up in the clouds and dream of art and getting out of this life, and he wouldn't feel lucky at all.
.FIVE.
Death Cab For Cutie - I Will Follow You Into The Dark |
dl Love of mine
Someday you will die
But I'll be close behind
I'll follow you into the dark
No blinding light
Or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark
TOMMY: Where are you going?
KEVIN: Wherever you are.
