This is my first attempt at making a fanmix. So, I decided that I would base it off something that I love very deeply. One of my favorite plot lines from the X-Files is the story of Mulder's sister, Samantha. My all-time favorite episode is Paper Hearts so of course I also am absolutely enamored with Sein und Zeit and Closure as well.
For this mix, I picked out 9 songs that always make me think of certain scenes in these 3 episodes and also simply remind me of the ridiculously complicated relationship between Mulder and Scully. I hope you enjoy and please comment to tell me what you think.
Something to Believe In - Aqualung
MULDER: Scully, do you believe that my sister
Samantha was abducted by aliens?
(Scully looks away.)
Have you ever believed that? No.
So what do you think happened to her?
SCULLY: What are you saying you believe now?
MULDER: I don't know. I don't know what happened.
I don't know what to believe.
I just know that I have to find out now.Turn out the light
And what are you left with
Open up my hands
And find out they're empty
Press my face to the ground
I've gotta find a reason
Just scratching around For something to believe in
Save Me - The Pierces
MULDER: Are you okay, Caitlin?
(Caitlin nods.)
Good. My name is Fox, I'm going to take you home.But I know there's no one left to save me.
(I am the only one.)
There's no one left to save me.
(I am the only one.)
There's no one left to save me.
Atlantic - Keane
SCULLY: Mulder, it’s not Samantha…
and whoever that little girl really is, we’ll find her.
MULDER: How?
SCULLY: I don’t know, but I do know you.I hope all my days
Will be lit by your face
I hope all the years
Will hold tight our promises
I don't wanna be old and sleep alone
An empty house is not a home
I don't wanna be old and feel afraid
Explosions - The Mary Onettes
SCULLY: I can't explain it, Mulder,
but you're doing exactly what I said.
You're personalizing this case.
MULDER: No, I'm going to solve this case.
I am going to solve it.
SCULLY: How?
MULDER: I'm going to find those kids.
SCULLY: What if they're dead, Mulder?
Don't go looking for something you don't want to find.Yeah, it will make your heart stop
There's nobody else taking you through this
Nobody else taking through this
Nobody else, nobody else
Nobody else but you
Black Tables - Other Lives
MULDER: She was trying to tell me something.
She was... (his voice breaks) ...trying to tell me something.
SCULLY: Mulder, she was trying to tell you to stop.
To stop looking for your sister.
She was just trying to take away your pain.When the life in your eyes wants black
Things return
You've come back
With your body and mine raised up
It's good to see you once more
The Ocean - The Bravery
MULDER: (reading) "Sometimes I think my memories were taken by
the doctors but not all of them. I remember faces. I think I had a
brother... with brown hair, who used to tease me. I hope someday
he reads this and knows I wish I could see his face for real."
Oh the ocean rolls us away, away, away
The ocean rolls us away
The sun and the moon
An ocean of air
So many voices
But nothing is there
The ghost of you asking me why
Why did I leave
My Weakness - Moby // Postcards from Far Away - Coldplay
MULDER: Samantha…
(Mulder is reunited with his sister’s spirit.)
(Instrumental)
Satellite - Collective Soul
SCULLY: Mulder, what happened? Are you sure you’re all right?
MULDER: I’m fine.
(Mulder looks up at the sky.)
MULDER: I’m free.
Soon reason will have rhyme
Soon wisdom will imply
And with courage doubt subsides
So take my heart and take my pride
And I will be your sword
And I will be your might
And I will watch over you like a satellite
