I have a couple unfinished mixes sitting on my desktop. And since I was kinda on a Mal/Inara kick lately, I decided to finish this one. Finished the cover art, added a little spice with some more songs, including some country songs to give it a little Firefly-ish "out in the black" sound to it. It's kinda based on what happens between Mal and Inara between "Objects in Space" and the BDM. In other words... nothing, of course. Don't get what I'm saying, then just click the link. Or you could, you know, read the title again.
01) The Trouble With Love - Kelly Clarkson
The trouble with love is
It can tear you up inside
Make your heart believe a lie
Gets stronger then your pride
The trouble with love is
It doesn’t care how fast you fall
And you can’t refuse the call
See you’ve got no say at all
Love can only cause problems for the relationship between Mal and Inara.
02) White Flag - Dido
But if I didn't say it, I'd still have felt it
Where's the sense in that?
I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder
Or return to where we were
I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be
Inara finds herself falling in love with Mal, and accepting it.
03) Desperado - The Eagles
Desperado, oh, you ain't gettin' no younger
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
And freedom, oh freedom well, that's just some people talkin'
Your prison is walking through this world all alone
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
Come down from your fences, open the gate
It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love you, before it's too late
Mal is hard, cold and very cowboy-ish, thus, the song.
04) How Far - Martina McBride
Out of this chair, or just across the room
Halfway down the block or halfway to the moon
How far do I have to go to make you understand
I wanna make this work so much it hurts, but I just can't
Keep on giving, go on living with the way things are
So I'm gonna walk away
And it's up to you to say how far
Inara wants Mal to ask her to stay.
05) Baby When You're Gone - Bryan Adams feat. Melanie C
I've been wandering around the house all night
Wondering what the hell to do
Yeah, I'm trying to concentrate but all I can think of is you
Baby when you're gone, I realize I'm in love
days go on and on, and the nights just seem so long
Even food don't taste that good, drink ain't doing what it should
things just feel so wrong, baby when you're gone
Mal and Inara miss each other after she leaves Serenity.
06) Kiss The Rain - Billie Myers
Hello, can you hear me?
Am I gettin' through to you?
Hello, is it late there?
There's a laughter on the line
Are you sure you're there alone?
Cause I'm tryin' to explain
Somethin's wrong you just don't sound the same
Why don't you go outside
Kiss the rain whenever you need me
Kiss the rain whenever I'm gone, too long.
If your lips feel lonely and thirsty
Kiss the rain and wait for the dawn.
Keep in mind, we're under the same sky
And the nights as empty for me, as for you
If you feel you can't wait till morinin'
Kiss the rain
The tension/angst in their first wave. Plus, it's just a pretty song
and I love it.
07) Nobody Wants To Be Lonely - Ricky Martin feat. Christina Aguilera
Nobody wants to be lonely
Nobody wants to cry
My body's longing to hold you
So bad it hurts inside
Time is precious and it's slipping away
And I've been waiting for you all of my life
Nobody wants to be lonely
So why don't you let me love you
I used to be so in love with this song. But it's still pretty and has
alot of meaning.
08) Someday We'll Know - Mandy Moore feat. Jonathan Foreman
Two years late, you're still on my mind
Who holds the stars up in the sky?
Is true love just once in a lifetime?
Did the captain of the Titanic cry?
Someday we'll know if love can move a mountain
Someday we'll know why the sky is blue
Someday we'll know why I wasn't meant for you
Someday we'll know why Samson loved Delilah
One day I'll go dancing on the moon
Someday you'll know that I was the one for you
Someday they'll know (obviously) if their love could work, but not today.
*kicks Joss*
09) Miss Me Baby - Chris Cagle
I'm a man, I was wrong, forgive me
Come back home, I'll be waiting, right here waiting
Miss me baby
Because when he's holding you
Know that it's killing me
Let my memory be the reason girl
That you can't sleep
And every time you feel his touch
I pray to God it's not enough
And that I've touched your heart so deep
Girl you can't shake me
Cause I love you, yes I love you
Miss me baby
Mal doesn't want Inara to go off with her clients, he wants her love for himself.
10) Far Away - Nickleback
So far away, been far away for far too long
So far away been far away for far too long
But you know, I wanted, I wanted you to stay
Cause I needed, I need to hear you say
That I love you, I have loved you all along
And I forgive you, for being away for far too long
So keep breathing, cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it, hold on to me and, never let me go
After she's been gone from Serenity for too long, she decides to stay.
Bonus Track: Not included in Zip
What Hurts The Most - Rascal FlattsBut I know if I could do it over
I would trade give away all the words that
I saved in my heart that I left unspoken
What hurts the most is being so close
And having so much to say and watching you walk away
And never knowing what could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do
Mal wanted to show his love to Inara, but he didn't do it in time.
And then she left.
