Someone to Watch Over Me by Ella Fitzgerald There's a somebody I'm longing to see
I hope that he, turns out to be
Someone to watch over me
All Shannon was looking for was someone to take care of her. Sure, that changed once she reached the island, but Sayid was ready to take care of her.
At Last by Etta James
Oh yeah, yeah and you smile, you smile
Oh, and then the spell was cast
And here we are in heaven
For you are mine at last
Shannon and Sayid were finally together in heaven, in the afterlife.
Don't Wanna Miss A Thing by Aerosmith Lying close to you, feeling your heart beating
And I'm wondering what you're dreaming
Wonder if it's me you're seeing
Then I kiss your eyes, and thank God we're together
I just wanna stay with you in this moment forever
Forever and ever
This set of lyrics always reminds me of when they're in the tent Sayid built for her. They just look so happy and content.
Can't Help Falling in Love with You by Elvis Presley Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you
They were probably two of the most unlikely people on the island to fall in love, and yet they did.
Dream a Little Dream of Me by Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong
Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me
I'd like to think Shannon would have said that to Sayid after her death, especially once he 'went to the dark side.'
Helpless When She Smiles by Backstreet Boys I'm a house of cards in a hurricane
A reckless ride in the pouring rain
She cuts me and the pain is all I feel
She'll dance away just like a child
She drives me crazy, drives me wild,
But I'm helpless when she smiles
Oh, when she smiles, she smiles.
The lyrics remind me of how in love Shannon and Sayid were. Even though they had their issues, Sayid was willing to do anything for her.
I Will Remember You by Sarah McLaughlin I will remember you
Will you remember me
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
This song reminds me of when Sayid was at Shannon's grave and when he placed the prayer beads on her cross.
Thank God I Found You by 98* and Mariah Carey Thank God I found you, I was lost without you
My every wish and every dream somehow became reality.
When you brought the sunlight, completed my whole life
I'm overwhelmed with gratitude, 'cause baby I'm so glad I found you.
In the afterlife, both Shannon and Sayid looked so happy. It was as if all the bad things in their lives were gone and all that was left was happiness.
