we'll get there (walk those halls together): a Kara/Lee fanmix.
I've had a desire to put together my own Kara/Lee fanmix for quite some time and figured that now (with the premiere of 4.5 less than a week away, omg yay!) would be the perfect time to finally get the thing posted...
A bit about the mix:
I hope you'll give these songs a try and then come back and let me know what did and did not work for you. I had a lot of fun choosing them (some of them have been in my K/L playlist for some time, while others have struck me as belonging in this mix more recently), and each one will give you a glimpse of how I, personally, view this ship and why I love BSG so. damn. much.
Please note that I have included notes on which season(s) I feel the song fits, from whose perspective I view it, and sometimes a line or two (or more) about why I chose it.
**Thanks to m_a_r_i_k_s for introducing me to Evans Blue through her incredible vid "Cold (but I'm still here); and to canadiangirl_86 for the K/L fanmix she posted some time ago--the songs from that remain some of my favorite, and that mix definitely inspired me to want to create my own. You both rock, and I so appreciate your contributions to the fandom.**
At the end of this post is a link to download the zipped folder for the mix. Enjoy!
And now on to the music:
we'll get there (walk those halls together): a Kara/Lee fanmix
by Heather (thrace_adama)
“Together” by The Kin (Lee POV)
Now that we see the signs, can we walk this line together?
Now that we know it’s time, can we walk this line together?
* Seasons 3 & 4 *
“I Caught Myself” by Paramore (Lee/Kara/Sam, Kara POV)
I knew, I know in my heart it's not you
I know, but now I know what I want…
* Seasons 2, 3 & 4 * Deep down, Kara’s always known it’s not Sam, but Lee *
“All We Are” by OneRepublic (Kara POV)
We won’t say our goodbyes
You know it’s better that way
We won’t break, we won’t die
It’s just a moment of change
* Seasons 2 (esp. LDYB part I), 3 & 4 * separation anxiety (though for some reason, this song also brings to mind all K/L hugs, even when it’s more of a “hello” or a “we’re okay” than a goodbye) *
“Love and Memories” by O.A.R. (Lee POV)
Love me faster than the devil
Run me straight into the ground
Drowning deep inside your water
Drowning deep inside your sound
* Season 3, Unfinished Business * Lee has experienced the highest highs and lowest lows in his relationship with Kara, but she is it for him *
“If There’s a Rocket Tie Me To It” by Snow Patrol (Lee POV)
A fire, a fire, you can only take what you can carry
A pulse, your pulse, it's the only thing I can remember
I break, you don't, I was always set to self-destruct, though…
* Season 3, esp. UB, TABFAYW & TSAR *
“Momentary Thing” by Something Happens (Both)
After all, well isn't this just a momentary thing?
It's not like I expected it, or any heavy thing
* Seasons 1 through 3 * UST and/or denial ftw! *
“Because I Want You” by Placebo (Kara POV)
Don’t give up on the dream
Don’t give up on the wanting
Because I want you too…
* Season 2, Scar *
“The Way” by The Pierces (Kara/Lee/Dualla, Kara POV)
Don’t you walk away from me
Because I know that this is where you want to be
* Season 2, esp. Sacrifice, The Captain’s Hand & LDYB part II *
“Such Great Heights” by Iron & Wine (Lee POV)
They will see us waving from such great heights
“Come down now,” they'll say
But everything looks perfect from far away
“Come down now,” but we'll stay
* Seasons 1 & 2 * StarbuckandApollo against the world! *
“Eclipsed” by Evans Blue (Both)
We’re both broken in our own little ways
We’re broken but we fit together just right
* All seasons *
“The Kill (Bury Me) [live version]” by 30 Seconds to Mars (Lee POV)
Look in my eyes
You're killing me, killing me
All I wanted was you
* All seasons * I can’t really even put into words how perfect I think this song is for Lee and for how he must sometimes view his life and his relationship with Kara *
