fanmix time!
In which I exhaust my knowledge of showtunes about girls named Amy (total: three) to illustrate Amy and Rory's relationship in S5.
This started off as a silly thing to keep me occupied in a waiting room, and then it just sort of grew. And then I forgot about it and let it sit on my computer for almost six months, whoops. I thought I should probably post it before S6 starts.
All songs are in mp3 format, available to download individually or as a zip at the end. Sorry the art is so basic; considering how hopeless I am with image editing programs, I'm pleased I managed this much. I hope you enjoy it!
(Names in brackets denote the names of the characters from the show the song is from. Ellipses indicate omitted lyrics.)
The Eleventh Hour
“Getting Married Today” - Company
“My name is Amy Pond. When I was seven I had an imaginary friend. Last night was the night before my wedding, and my imaginary friend came back.”
[Paul]
Today is for Amy
Amy, I give you the rest of my life
To cherish and to keep you
To honor you forever
Today is for Amy
My happily soon-to-be wife
...
[Amy]
Listen, everybody, look
I don't know what you're waiting for
A wedding
What's a wedding
It's a prehistoric ritual
Where everybody promises fidelity forever
Which is maybe the most horrifying word I ever heard of
The Beast Below
“Knowing When to Leave” - Promises, Promises
“Have you ever run away from something because...because you were scared? Or not ready? Or just…because you could?”
Fly while your still have your wings
Knowing when to leave will never
Let you reach the point of no return
Fly!
Victory of the Daleks/The Time of Angels/Flesh and Stone
“Get Me to the Church On Time” - My Fair Lady
“I just want to show you something. You're running from River. I'm running too.”
I’m getting married in the morning
Ding-dong, the bells are gonna chime
Pull out the stopper
Let’s have a whopper
But get me to the church on time
(I know that of all the My Fair Lady recordings available, I did not choose the best quality one. However, it is sung by Jon “Third Doctor” Pertwee. Thus, it wins.)
Vampires of Venice
“It Takes Two” - Into the Woods
“Now we go help the Doctor.”
“Righty-o.”
It takes two
I thought one was enough
It's not true
It takes two of us
You came through
When the journey was rough
It took you
It took two of us
Amy’s Choice
“How did you know you wouldn't just die?”
“I didn't.”
“I’d Give it All For You” - Songs for a New World
[Man]
God knows it's easy to hide
Easy to hide from the things that you feel
And harder to blindly trust
What you can't understand
[Woman]
God knows it's easy to run,
Easy to run from the people you love
And harder to stand and fight
For the things you believe
“I Chose Right” - Baby
Life's a very long road
And the crossroads come up right away
And it's sure hard to know which way to go when you've barely begun
And oh, the road you leave behind can shine so bright
And I look at you and I know I chose right
The Hungry Earth
“Our Time” - Merrily We Roll Along
“Ten years in your future, come to relive past glories, I’d imagine. Humans. You’re so nostalgic.”
Something is stirring
Shifting ground
It's just begun
...
Years from now
We'll remember
And we'll come back
Buy the rooftop
And hang a plaque
This is where we began
Being what we can
Cold Blood
“I Don’t Remember Christmas” - Starting Here, Starting Now
“Tell me about Rory. Fantastic Rory, funny Rory, gorgeous Rory!”
And I don't remember summer
I do not remember fall
So it's possible December
Never happened after all
Did we trim the tree together?
I can't get the image through
‘Cause I don't remember Christmas
And I don't remember you
Vincent and the Doctor
“You Walk With Me” - The Full Monty
“Oh, Amy. I hear the song of your sadness. You've lost someone, I think.”
Is it the wind there over my shoulder?
Is it your voice calling quietly?
Over the hilltop, down in the valley
Never alone, for you walk with me
The Lodger
“One Boy” - Bye Bye Birdie
“Right little matchmaker, aren't you? Can't you find me a fella?”
One boy
One steady boy
One boy to be with
Forever and ever
One boy
That's the way it should be
(A bit tongue-in-cheek, all things considered.)
The Pandorica Opens
“How Could I Ever Know” - The Secret Garden
“Rory Willams, from Leadworth. My boyfriend. How could I ever forget you?”
[Lily]
How could I know I would have to leave you?
How could I know I would hurt you so?
You were the one I was born to love!
Oh, how could I ever know?
How could I ever know?
...
[Archibald]
How can I hope to go on without you?
How can I know where you'd have me go?
How can I bear not to dream about you?
Oh, how can I let you go?
The Big Bang
“Someone to Watch Over Me” - Oh, Kay!
”Will she be safer if I stay? Look me in the eye and tell me she wouldn’t be safer.”
“Rory--”
“Answer me!”
“Yes. Obviously.”
“Then how could I leave her?”
Although he may not be the man some
Girls think of as handsome
To my heart he carries the key
Won’t you tell him please to put on some speed
Follow my lead
Oh, how I need
Someone to watch over me
“Live With Somebody You Love” - Martin Guerre
“Love you.”
“Yep. I mean, I love you too.”
Live with somebody you love
Let your love bless each day
As the years slip away
“The Last Goodbye” - The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee
“Sorry. Something's come up. This'll have to be goodbye.”
“Yeah, I think it's goodbye. Do you think it's goodbye?”
“Definitely goodbye.”
(What I wanted was some kind of upbeat “I’m going on an adventure/My life is just beginning” song, but I couldn’t find anything that felt like it fit. So I chose something short and silly instead.)
BONUS:
“Multitudes of Amys” - cut from Company
Walls hang with pictures of Amys
Galaxies of Amys dot the night skies
Girls pass and look at me with Amy’s eyes
...
I know what it means
Hey, Amy
I know what it means
Oh, wow
I’m ready
I’m ready
I’ll say it:
Marry me now
“Once in Love With Amy” - Where’s Charley?
Once in love with Amy
Then you’re always in love with Amy
Ever and ever fascinated by her
Sets your heart afire to stay
