Cookleta Fanmix: Don't Be Afraid (No One Like You)
tinkertoo is not the only one who’s gotten obsessed to the point of fanmixiness. lol. Plus, all this Caldwell talk made me depressed, and only Cookleta can cheer me up at this point.
Clicking on the songs will let you download them (obviously) and clicking on the artist will take you to their wiki/myspace/official website/appropriate info site.
01. Never Let You Go (.m4a) |Evermore
Shadows fall, and the darkness of night descends
Concrete walls bring the road to an end
I don't know which way leads me to you
Every step that I take
Brings your light into view
It took so long for me to find you
Suddenly our worlds collide
I'll never let you go, I'll never let you go
I found you and now I know
That I'll never let you go
Yesterday, never seemed so far away
All this time you've been right in front of me
It took so long for me to find you
Suddenly our lives intertwine
When you go just let me know
And, I'll appear out from
When you go just let me know
And, I'll be there
This absolutely screams Cookleta. All throughout the competition they both never realized how much they meant to each other. And then on finale night, it’s like, bam! Their worlds collide and they’ll never be the same again. (Wow, I’m so melodramatic).
02. Song Beneath the Song (.mp3) |Maria Taylor
Cryptic words meander
Now there is a song beneath the song
One day you'll learn
You'll soon discern it's true meaning
An interesting detachment
A listless poem of love sincere
Desire, despair
Overlapping melodies
And it's not a love, it's not a love
It's not a love, it's not a love song
It's not a love, it's not a love, it's not a love song
It's not a love, it's not a love, it's not a love song
Look deeper into their song choices. I mean really, matching Phantom of the Opera songs? Also, Cook’s “Always be my Baby” and “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing”. You can just tell who they’re singing to.
03. Straight Lines (.mp3) |Silverchair
Wake me up low with a fever
Walking in a straight line
Set me on fire in the evening
Everything will be fine
Waking up strong in the morning
Walking in a straight line
Lately I’m a desperate believer
But walking in a straight line
It’s like they know the world will judge them, but they know everything’s gonna be fine because they have each other. (Because they’re adorably sweet like that).
04. Beautiful to Me (.m4a) |Little Birdy
Well look the afternoon is the only place where you and I belong
You're mine forever and a day
You're beautiful you're beautiful to me.
You're beautiful you're beautiful to me.
Definitely this cannot be all that you
Have to offer love
When you're on your own
Well look I fell in love
Cause this world is way too big now
What can I say? We know they adore each other. Archie saying “what’s not to like?” when Cook’s fangirl calls him gorgeous; plus Cook saying “how can you compete against a face like this?” and “he would’ve flashed me that smile and I would’ve let my guard down”. Also, Cook pinching Archie’s cheek.
05. Baby, I Love You (.m4a) |The Ramones
Have I ever told you
How good it feels to hold you
It isn't easy to explain
Baby, I love you
Come on baby
Baby, I love you
Baby I love, I love only you
I can't live without you
I love everything about you
I can't help it if I feel this way
This requires no explanation. We can all see it. *smirk*
06. Untold (.mp3) |Pete Francis
Don't go with your dreams untold
Don't leave me on that old black road
July thunder, something's undercover
something's lost, something ain't right
you slide by me in the cool air of night
drive by in my car for you
look me in the eyes, that's what I can believe
Sometimes they have doubts about their relationship, especially with the added strain of the competition and their high profiles.
07. Foresight (.m4a) |The Quills
In my mind I’m running wild
Since I saw you that night
I should have known you’d fill my mind
You and I were different
They can’t stop thinking about each other. They particularly love each other’s performances. Archie is constantly praising/gushing over Cook and talking about how he looks up to him. Cook, on the other hand, only voted 3 times during the whole season, and they were all for Archie. I’m sure I’m not the only person who finds that very revealing.
08. Let Go (.m4a) |12 Stones (with thanks to poppyfields13 )
I feel so alone again
I know that I need you
To help me make it through the night
And I pray that you believe in me
You gave me my strength
To face another day alone
As time passes by I find
Things never seem to change
When I feel alone
You bring me back to you
This encompasses their whole epic relationship. Being the top 2, no one else knows what it’s like. The stress of the competition and the paparazzi is almost too much, but they have each other, and they crave each other’s approval.
09. Light Surrounding You (.m4a) |Evermore
Time was overtaking me
And I guess I was confused
They were all inviting me
But I wish I had refused
Cos I'd been there before
And I've seen it all
And I believe in you
And if you never had my heart
I would've never called you back
At the start that night
So I want you to know
That I see the light surrounding you
So don't be afraid of something new
Cos I see the light surrounding you
So don't be afraid of what you're turning into
I see this as Cook comforting Archie who is still slightly unsure of himself/their relationship. Have you noticed that Cook is the only one who Archie seems to be comfortable around? He flinches when everyone else gets within a foot of him, but he lets Cookie touch his shoulders and chest, he doesn’t move away from his hugs. Hell, he hugs back. And that piggyback ride? Man, Archie looked eager.
