Falling Stars | A Bo and Woody Fanmix
This fanmix is totally dedicated to usamichan13 because of all of her amazing Bo/Woody love which in turns fuels my Bo/Woody love ^^ She also is the one who pointed out how awesome tracks 1 and 6 are for Bo/Woody and thus the reason why I chose them :)

Title: Falling Stars
Warnings: If you haven't seen Toy Story 3 and are still relatively unspoiled, my commentary on the song choices will have spoilers. If you're already melancholy, this might not be the best mix for you, lol, as it is on the sad side.
Notes: You can preview each track or download them individually via the Box.net widget or you can download all at once via the ZIP. A few tracks may sound contorted in the online preview. But it should sound fine if you download. If there are any problems playing after download, please let me know so I can fix it. My cover art is purely decorative. The cover turned out darker than it had looked last night and the tracklisting on the back is only barely readable, lol. OH and track 5 skips. Sorry about that. Also, the songs aren't necessarily in any coherent order or whatnot.
1. Wherever You Are
performed by Vonda Shepard and Barry Coffing
I used to believe in forever, but forever's too good to be true. I've hung a wish on every star. It hasn't done much good so far.
A melancholy duet to set the pace for the rest of the album. Basically, this is a look at Bo and Woody after we realize -thanks to Toy Story 3- that they are apart. They are both in their respective homes, dreaming of being together again. They want nothing more than to find each other, but it doesn't look like it's ever going to happen :(
2. Falling Stars
performed by David Archuleta
Eventually you will be gone. I'll always love you, oh, believe it or not. Baby, that's not enough to, not enough to stop these falling stars over your head.
Let's go back into the past, before Bo was taken away from the Davis house. As Molly starts to grow up more noticeably, Woody's fear begins to grow and pessimistic realism begins to set in. He realizes that it's inevitable that Molly will grow out of her need for Bo and he worries what that might mean. He's afraid that Bo will leave and eventually forget him and there's nothing he'll be able to do. But of course, he wants to be strong and forgive her for what's bound to happen, but of course he knows he'll never get over her.
3. Ghost Of You
performed by Selena Gomez & The Scene
I wear your memory like a stain. Can't erase or numb the pain. Here to stay with me forever.
As she tries to adjust to the sudden change, Bo is in so much pain that she begins to wish she had never gotten so close to Woody to begin with. She wishes she could just forget him altogether if it could make everything better, but in the end she fears she'll never manage to get over what she felt for him.
4. Feels Like The End
performed by Shane Alexander
I don't remember what I've done, done with all the years. I've got no one but myself to ask how did I get here.
I can picture Woody being a bit of a mess following Bo's departure, even if not outwardly. He's depressed and paranoid. He wishes he could go back and change things, maybe find a way to keep Bo with the Davis family. At the same time, I can imagine losing Bo would also make him conscious of the possibility that he'll lose others like Buzz or Jessie or that Andy will finally get rid of them all as well (since I'm guessing Andy was already old enough to have started neglecting his toys by this time).
5. Never Had A Dream Come True
performed by S Club 7
There's no use looking back or wondering how it should be now or might have been. Oh this I know, but still I can't find ways to let you go.
This is from point of views. Another look at them realizing their only dream come true was each other. At this point, they've both tried to move on, but they just can't. Kind of like how Rex pointing out Bo being gone looked like it really struck a raw nerve for Woody in the third film :(
6. Vanilla Twilight
performed by Owl City
I'll taste the sky and feel alive again. And I'll forget the world that I knew, but I swear I won't forget you. Oh if my voice could reach back through the past, I'd whisper in your ear, "Oh darling I wish you were here."
Emo Woody is emo XD This is the "my heart is breaking for Woody" portion of the album. Basically, Woody is coming to grips with how to move on without ever letting go. He's still sad and just wants nothing more than to be with Bo again, but he knows that there's nothing that can be done.
7. If I Never Knew You
performed by Tiffany Thornton
If if I never held you, I would never have a clue how at last I'd find in you the missing part of me.
Bo comes to a point where she really knows that being with Woody is the only place she wants to be, but no matter what she comes to accept that having loved and lost is better to have never loved Woody at all.
8. Somewhere Out There
performed by Linda Rondstadt and James Ingram
And even though I know how very far apart we are, it helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star.
Another beautiful, albeit cliche, duet for our separated toy lovers. This time hope is growing for both of them (because, gosh, I can't take the hopelessness anymore!!) and they think maybe they will find each other again. Or at least, they have the hope that neither of the other has forgotten their love.
9. I Will Not Say Goodbye
performed by Danny Gokey
I will always see your face in the shadows of this haunted place. I will laugh, I will cry, shake my fist at the sky, but I will not say goodbye.
And we're back to the more "I can't take this, it's all so sad" side of things, lol. Neither Bo or Woody want to forget each other (no matter what I said in previous song commentary...) because they just loved each other too strongly. No matter how much remembering hurts them, they can't let go of one another.
10. I Will Always Be With You
performed by Sheena Easton and Jesse Corti
Other memories will fade, but the ones that we made are eternal as the stars, now I'm a part of who you are.
Thank goodness, we're back to a more positive form of melancholy :P Bo and Woody decide that they will always be together even if not physically. Their love and time together was so perfect that it will be a part of them forever, no matter how many new places they end up during their existence as toys.
Taken
performed by Plumb
I can hear you laugh when I close my eyes. I can picture your face and the strength inside your smile. I can see the words dance across your lips. I'll remember forever something more than this. And you can't go further than my heart will go.
Imagine with me if you will, had their been a movie all about Bo and Woody and their losing each other prior to Toy Story 3, this is the song I would personally have picked for the credits. Yes, I know there's like 4 other songs on this fanmix from credits that could fit, but this song in my opinion just really sums up their love for each other no matter what. It takes all of the sadness, anger, determination, etc. from all of the previous songs and wraps it up into one final melancholy yet hopeful tune.
And this is the part where I say, every time I watch the film I really do wish Bo would magically appear. I mean...they couldn't have even included something in the credit scenes?? Okay, just had to vent that :)
