You and Me and One Spotlight

Sep 06, 2010 22:45

I don't want tomorrow to happen. I don't want Reid to die. I don't want Luke to be broken-hearted.

I don't want to have to keep reminding myself that this is fiction, and then still get upset thinking about the ending anyway. So in order to help myself, I thought I would share a song.

Strangely, when I'm sad, sad songs cheer me up. You'd think that I would listen to something peppy and happy, but that never works. I always need my music to identify with my feelings first, and then slowly I cheer myself up. Weird, but it always seems to work.

So. This isn't really a sad song. There's lots of hope in it, and even peacefulness. Honesty. So when you listen to it and think of LuRe and their ending like I do, hopefully you'll hear the same hope and peacefulness and honesty and love that I do. You'll imagine this is somewhat from Reid's POV, taking place sometime before he passes away and also sometime after. Maybe when Luke meets him again. I dunno. It's hard to explain. Maybe you guys can tell me what you think and how you feel when you listen.

This is one of my favourite Yellowcard songs, it was so even before I applied it to LuRe. Now it's really one of my favourites, because it will always remind me of these two awesome characters I knew and loved.

And seriously, screw canon. Seriously. Let us abolish it as soon as it happens.

It won't be long now
The music's on loud
We'll sing this song out
And then we'll lie down
I'll hold you close then
I'll let you know when
The space and time bend
And then we'll fall in

Go put on your best tonight
It's you and me and one spotlight
One more show one last time
We are ready

Say you will be all around me
When your body sets your heart free
Say you will be all around me

I'll look for your eyes
To keep me inside
When everything dies
But one last sunrise
And when we stand there together not scared
I'll dry your last tear
And then we're just air

Go put on your best tonight
It's you and me and not much time
To watch the world burning bright
We are ready

Say you will be all around me
When your body sets your heart free
Say you will be all around me
Say you'll get me through the ending
Take my body, set my heart free
Say you'll get me through the ending

Go put on your best tonight
It's you and me and one spotlight
One more show, one last time
It won't be long now

Say you will be all around me
When your body sets your heart free
Say you will be all around me
Say you'll get me through the ending
Take my body, set my heart free
Say you'll get me through the ending
Say you will be (you won't be long)
All around me (you won't be long now)
