[ooc] soundtrack: c'mon daisy don't drown me this time
a caveat: a lot of these may or may not have to do with claire, because right now in canon west only exists to be an auxiliary to her ; his comic is the single piece of information where she is peripheral to him, rather than the other way around. a character's soundtrack is always in flux, so i hope to add more that are just to do with west as the viewer is given more information...provided they don't like, kill him immediately.
motion city soundtrack :: capital h
"i'll be back tomorrow / i'll be back in the ballroom swingin / i'll be back with my superman action and i'm off to save the world / i'll be back tomorrow /i'll be back in the ballroom swingin' / i'll be back with a capital h / it stands for hero and the hero is me"
the foo fighters :: learn to fly
"hook me up a new revolution / cause this one is a lie / we sat around laughing and watched the last one die / i'm looking to the sky to save me / looking for a sign of life / looking for something to help me burn out bright / i'm looking for a complication / looking cause i'm tired of lying / make my way back home when i learn to fly"
the faint :: desperate guys
"how embarrassed i'd have been / if you knew what i was thinking / because when i heard you speak i felt warm / i crossed my fingers / but i didn't beg / because i knew you knew / because i knew you knew i liked you / i knew you knew i liked you / i knew you knew it / but i figured desperate guys / never had a chance with you / i figured desperate guys / never had a chance with you"
the suicide machines :: extraordinary
"i still say that there's an extraordinary thing about you / that i can't put my finger on or figure out it's funny / although i never thought about it / i must really like teasing you / and if you're wondering why i look at you the way that I do it's because / that day will be etched in my mind as the day that i made you mine"
bush :: alien
"everything's more than it seems / mighty backward fall / stare at the light on the wall / and i swear to this, she felt like velvet / second blonde child she meant it / she come to take me away/ it's all that i needed / i dont breathe another lover / i'm an alien / you're an alien"
black rebel motorcycle club :: am i only
"nothing seems to show / the feelings come and go / and everything’s so strange / the people never change / am i only, only one of you / am i only, only one of you / you turn into a song / and everything feels wrong / there’s so much more to see but lost is meant to be / am i only, only one of you / am i the lonely, only one of you"
the catherine wheel :: eat my dust, you insensitive fuck*
I think I have the best of me / Inside my head / No one else competes with me / I think I'm great / Got spirit tucked away inside / I know the ghosts of angel notes to kiss / Everything I sing is part of this / Got honey brushed across my lips / I know, I know, I know, I know / If you can call this luck / If you can call this luck / If you can miss this much / Eat my dust you insensitive fuck
* BONUS: this song, hilariously, is incredibly pretty and dreamy sounding. this, of course, is disrupted when you have to laugh at the lyrics, but nvm.
