Firefly/Serenity | River/Jayne | Brighter Days Ahead
Just a little River/Jayne mix about the hard times from their past and their current lives on Serenity, but how their love can give them a happy future.
[River is holding out for someone to save her life.]
01. Holding Out For A Hero - Frou Frou
Where have all the good men gone
And where are all the gods?
Where's the street-wise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and turn and dream of what I need
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life
[Jayne has had to fight for all he ever had - and he wants River to learn to do the same.]
02. The Best Of You - Foo Fighters
Has someone taken your faith?
Its real, the pain you feel
The life, the love, you die to heal
The hope that starts, the broken hearts
Your trust, you must confess
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Were you born to resist or be abused?
I swear I’ll never give in, I refuse
[ Jayne's Theme Song ^_^ ]
03. The Joker - Steve Miller Band
Some people call me the space cowboy, yeah
Some call me the gangster of love
Some people call me Maurice
Cause I speak of the pompitous of love
I'm a picker, I'm a grinner
I'm a lover and I'm a sinner
I play my music in the sun
I'm a joker, I'm a smoker
I'm a midnight toker
I get my lovin' on the run
You're the cutest thing I ever did see
[Jayne wants to be River's protector.]
04. For You - The Calling
I am a vision, I am justice
Never thought that I could love
Living in shadows, fading existance
It was never good enough within the darkness
You are the light that shines the way
But you're trapped in violence
I can be the man who saves the day
I'm there for you, no matter what
I'm there for you, never giving up
I'm there for you for you
[River is a little bit of every single woman Jayne has ever met, that's why he likes her.]
05. She's Every Woman - Garth Brooks
She's sun and rain, she's fire and ice
A little crazy but it's nice
And when she gets mad, you best leave her alone
'Cause she'll rage just like a river
Then she'll beg you to forgive her
She's every woman that I've ever known.
She's anything but typical
She's so unpredictable
Oh but even at her worst she ain't that bad
She's as real as real can be
And she's every fantasy
Lord she's every lover that I've ever had
And she's every lover that I've never had
[River's brain far surpasses Jayne's... and she can keep him safe.]
06. Shh - Frou Frou
Crazy what are you then?
Give me an hour and I'll give you your dreams...
Don't make a sound
Shh and listen
Keep your head down
We're not safe yet
Don't make a sound
And be good for me
'Cause I know the way to somewhere out here
Leave it I won't go back
We have to do it 'cause it's not been left here
Don't care what do they know
I've seen them, baby, and I know it's real
Sure, in time, I knew they'd come
Oh, are we having fun or what?
[River watches over Jayne in his sleep, in his dreams.]
07. Dream Weaver - Styx
Fly me high through the starry skies
Maybe to an astral plane
Cross the highways of fantasy
Help me to forget today’s pain
Oh dream weaver, I believe you can get me through the night
Oh dream weaver, I believe we can reach the morning light
Though the dawn may be coming soon
There still may be some time
Fly me away to the bright side of the moon
And meet me on the other side
[Jayne is falling for the little Lady of Serenity.]
08. Lady - Little River Band
So lady, let me take a look at you now
You're there on the dance floor, making me want you somehow
Oh lady, I think it's only fair I should say to you
Don't be thinkin' that I don't want you, 'cause maybe I do
Look around, come to me
I have no answers, but know where I wanna be
I look around, play a part
I was born in the winter and cooled by a warm heart
And I love you best
You're not like the rest
You're there when I need you
You're there when I need
I'm gonna need you
[Jayne loves his tiny dancer.]
09. Tiny Dancer - Elton John
Looking on she sings the songs
The words she knows, the tune she hums
But oh how it feels so real
Lying here with no one near
Only you and you can hear me
When I say softly, slowly
Hold me closer tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
you had a busy day today
[Jayne is surprised how River has changed him.]
10. So Caught Up In You - 38 Special
I never knew there'd come a day
When I'd be sayin' to you
"Don't let this good love slip away
Now that we know that it's true."
Don't, don't you know the kind of man I am
No, said I'd never fall in love again
But it's real and the feeling comes shining through.
I'm so caught up in you, little girl
And I never did suspect a thing
So caught up in you, little girl
That I never want to get myself free
And baby it's true, you're the one
Who caught me baby you taught me
How good it could be
[After all they've been through, River and Jayne can finally see some good come from all the bad - their love.]
11. Here Comes The Sun - The Beatles
Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
and I say it's all right
Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
and I say it's all right
Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
and I say it's all right, it's all right
