Fanmix - Becker/Jess, Becker POV, My Dinosaur Life
My Dinosaur Life
.rar
Sunny Day - Motion City Soundtrack
She is the queen of anarchy, I am the only one who cares…
We are thinking, “This is my dinosaur, this is my dinosaur life”
Alright, hands up here, I used this mainly because of how stunningly appropriate the “dinosaur life” line is. But I’ve used songs far more tenuously on other mixes, and hey, dinosaurs! Plus Jess is the queen of the ARC, and it does get pretty anarchic there.
Wonderwall - Oasis
And all the roads that lead to you were winding
And all the lights that light the way are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you
I don't know how
I said maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me ?
And after all
You're my wonderwall
Picked because at the start of season four Becker is depressed and bitter about losing so many friends through the anomalies. Jess is like a breath of fresh (colourful, short-skirted) air in the ARC.
When You Walk In The Room - Fyfe Dangerfield
I was tired - working myself into an early grave
I was lonely - trying to teach myself how to behave
but these things have their own patterns
these things are fathomlessly out of our hands
and when you walk in the room
I know my life's never going to be planned
Again, Becker’s locked himself into the firmly militaristic lifestyle and it must have crossed his mind that the ridiculously high body count of ARC employees might well claim him sooner rather than later. But then Jess appeared in a flurry of short skirts, ridiculously flamboyant shoes and demands for chocolate and he’s still reeling from the shock to his system.
Desire - Ryan Adams
You know me. You don't mind waiting.
You just can't show me, but God I'm praying,
That you'll find me, and that you'll see me,
That you run and never tire.
Desire
Against his better judgement he’s gone head over heels for Jess Parker, but there’s something stopping him from telling her. He’s got to hope that she’s brave enough to wait for him to get his act together.
The Boy Who Never - Landon Pigg
I'm afraid of what might happen if
Together we build a wall
Cause the only kind of love that never gets built
Is the only kind of love that never falls
So I'll forfeit future tears of joy to save us both from pain
I could kiss you now but I'd only miss you more
When I walk away
When I walk away
It’s somewhat ironic that a man who has shown bravery in the field countless times is scared of opening his heart to a much smaller woman. What hurts most is that he’s acutely aware of just how bloody stupid he’s being, but it’s the only way he has of protecting her.
Falling In Love At A Coffee Shop - Landon Pigg
I think that possibly
Maybe I'm falling for you
Yes there's a chance that I've fallen quite hard over you
I've seen the paths that your eyes wander down
I want to come too
I think that possibly
Maybe I'm falling for you
At some point he gets hit over the head by somebody or something and starts to admit that loving in secret and from afar is getting them nothing but misery. This is a major moment for him.
Hold You In My Arms - Ray LaMontagne
When you kissed my lips with my mouth so full of questions
My worried mind that you quiet
Place your hands on my face
Close my eyes and say
That love is a poor man's food
Don't prophesize
I could hold you in my arms
I could hold you forever
And I could hold you in my arms
I could hold you forever
Once he’s done the hardest thing in his life - admit to Jess just how much he feels for her - the intensity of his feelings takes him by surprise. Especially when she tells him just how long she’s been waiting for him to say that to her.
Book of Love - The Magnetic Fields
The book of love is long and boring
And written very long ago
It's full of flowers and heart-shaped boxes
And things we're all too young to know but
I...
I love it when you give me things and
You...
You ought to give me wedding rings
I...
I love it when you give me things and
You...
You ought to give me wedding rings
Becker is never going to claim to understand love, or the power it has to turn his ordered, structured life completely upside down and back to front. Now his big, black army boots sit next to Jess’ leopard print wedges in the shoe rack in the hall and he’s had to understand why her bottles and lotions have invaded his bathroom and staged a hostile takeover. The thing is, he actually prefers his dinosaur life this way.
