This mix was largely inspired by the idea of soulmates: that somehow, despite differences in space and time, two people can still come together in such a way that their interactions (and gradual friendship) will come to define them, to shape them into the formidable team that they will become. The mix begins with a sense that something important is yet to come along; divergent timelines offering an impending sense of a change, a mending soon to come. And when Spock Prime mindmelds with a young Jim Kirk, the direction of that mending may become that much clearer. Still, Jim and Spock must take things at their own pace, as what once was cannot necessarily follow the same precise path. But still, even in different universes, some things remain the same.
Overlapping this new unfolding of events is the continuing story of Spock Prime, a man who desperately misses the Jim Kirk who he knew so well. And perhaps, somewhere out there in the echoes of time, Jim yearns to be there for Spock - even if now all that truly remains of him in this timeline is Spock's memories.
But still, that love endures, to the end of time... and beyond, into other worlds and times.
1. Soulmate -- Natasha Bedingfield
Here we are again, circles never end
How do I find the perfect fit
There's enough for everyone
But I'm still waiting in line
Who doesn't long for someone to hold
Who knows how to love you without being told
Somebody tell me why I'm on my own
If there's a soulmate for everyone
Most relationships seem so transitory
They're all good but not the permanent one
2. Sleeping With Ghosts -- Placebo
The sea's evaporated
Though it comes as no surprise
These clouds we're seeing
They're explosions in the sky
It seems it's written
But we can't read between the line
Hush, it's okay, dry your eyes
Soulmate dry your eyes
Cause soulmates never die
This one world vision
Turns us in to compromise
What good's religion
When it's each other we despise
3. Void -- Darren Hayes
I let a stranger love me
I gave away my pride
I bit my lips, so I could block my mind
I've called your name to others
Just like a spinal chord
Severed and broken but the spark still tries
And doesn't anyone fill the void
Doesn't anyone kill the joy
Doesn't anyone take the place of you in my heart
Doesn't anyone fill the void
Doesn't anyone kill the noise
Doesn't anyone take the place of you
They don't know you like I do
They don't see the good inside you
They don't lie with you in bed
And join you when you're dreaming
4. Whataya Want From Me -- Adam Lambert
Hey, slow it down, whataya want from me
Whataya want from me
Yeah, I’m afraid, whataya want from me
Whataya want from me
There might have been a time
When I would give myself away
Oh once upon a time I didn’t give a damn
But now, here we are so whataya want from me
Just don’t give up I’m workin' it out
Please don’t give in, I won’t let you down
It messed me up, need a second to breathe
Just keep coming around
Hey, whataya want from me
5. Superman Tonight -- Bon Jovi
There's something about you I want to rescue
I don't even know you, so what does that mean?
Maybe I'm cynical, I'm painfully logical
You're tragic and beautiful
And that's good enough for me
Who's going to save you when the stars fall from your sky
And who's going to pull you in when the tide gets too high
Who's going to hold you when you turn out the lights
I won't lie, I wish that I could be your superman tonight
If somebody sent you an angel to save you
What would you tell him to turn him away
That your heart don't break, that your lips don't kiss
That life is just a lie, that heaven don't exist
6. I Would Die For You -- Jann Arden
I've never seen this kind of love
The kind that won't wash away
And then leave you in the dark
I've never kissed a sweeter mouth
I've never been swept away
It's what dreams are made about
I've never seen this kind of love
The kind that won't slip away
Yes I'm soaring through your heart
Don't you know I could not survive
Without you in my life
7. From Where You Are -- Lifehouse
So far away from where you are
These miles have torn us worlds apart
And I miss you, yeah, I miss you
So far away from where you are
Standing underneath the stars
And I wish you were here
I miss the years that were erased
I miss the way the sunshine would light up your face
I miss all the little things
I never thought that they’d mean everything to me
Yeah, I miss you, and I wish you were here
I feel the beating of your heart
I see the shadows of your face
Just know that wherever you are
Yeah, I miss you, and I wish you were here
8. Cradlesong -- Rob Thomas
Everybody's got a different story
Everybody wanna give their selves away
But I'm still afraid
If we can stay out of their field of vision
If we can keep ourselves a half a world away
Oh honey we'll be okay
The world can be so cruel, but I will sing for you
This cradle song, all night long
Everybody's got their own opinion
Everybody's got a place were they belong
Like a favorite song
I don't want to be a faded memory
I don't want to be the ghost that you cant shake
I want to be the real thing
9. Come What May -- Ewan McGregor & Nicole Kidman
Listen to my heart, can you hear it sing
Telling me to give you everything
Seasons may change winter to spring
But I love you until the end of time
Come what may, come what may
I will love you until my dying day
And there's no mountain too high, no river too wide
Sing out this song and I'll be there by your side
Storm clouds may gather and stars may collide
But I love you until the end of time
