Battlestar Galactica- Kara/Lee- This Bird Has Flown





Download the Mix Here

Norwegian Wood- The Beatles
I once had a girl, or should I say, she once had me...

And when I awoke, I was alone, this bird had flown.

Honestly? Can you think of anything more appropriate? Really? Okay, to be honest, I’m not trying to make everyone focus on the poof, but I suppose with this fanmix, my goal was to really explore the obstacles in Kara and Lee’s relationship, the uncertainty they battled throughout the series; but at the same time, no matter what struggles they had, they always returned to each other.

On Any Given Day- Carbon Leaf
Forever star-crossed will we stay
Still I can't help feeling
Castaway on any given day
Still I can't help feeling
You'll run away on any given day

I can’t really think of any term more appropriate than starcrossed for Kara and Lee, they kick Romeo and Juliet’s asses in that category. Then again I have issues with R&J but moving on…

Run- Snow Patrol
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

Despite the poof, I firmly believe Kara will always be watching over Lee. Head!Kara anyone?

One Week- Barenaked Ladies
It's been one week since you looked at me
Dropped your arms to your sides
and said "I'm sorry"
Five days since I laughed at you and said
"You just did just what I thought you were gonna do"
Three days since the living room
We realized we're both to blame,
but what could we do?
Yesterday you just smiled at me
Cause it'll still be two days till we say we're sorry

I wasn’t going to let this mix be entirely depressing. One of the things about Kara and Lee is that no matter how much they fought, it would never drive them apart forever. I think on a more lighthearted note this song really speaks to the cyclical nature of their relationship that even through they keep being driven apart, they’re always drawn back together. (I can have hope right?)

You Give Love A Bad Name- Bon Jovi
An angel's smile is what you sell
You promise me heaven then put me through hell
Chains of love got a hold on me
When passion's a prison you can't break free

Let’s face it, Kara does kind of give love a bad name, but their relationship does have that heaven then hell nature to it.

Ever Fallen In Love- Pete Yorn
You spurn my natural emotions
You make me feel like dirt
And I'm hurt
And if I start a commotion
I run the risk of losing you
And that's worse

Ever fallen in love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
You shouldn't've fallen in love with

In the face of Zak, Sam, and Dee, their relationship is incredibly forbidden but on some level that just doesn’t matter, but it still makes things incredibly tense.

Bang Bang- Nancy Sinatra
Bang bang, I shot you down
Bang bang, you hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, I used to shoot you down.

Unfortunately, half of their fight or frak relationship, is the fighting part.

How- Lisa Loeb
I didn’t come this far for you to make this hard for me.
And now you want to ask me ’how’?
It’s like - how does your heart beat, and why do you breathe?
I feel like Kara and Lee’s love is just… kind of a part of them, a kind of connection they will never be able to shake.

Listen to your Heart- DHT
Listen to your heart
when he's calling for you.
Listen to your heart
there's nothing else you can do.
I don't know where you're going
and I don't know why,
but listen to your heart
before you tell him goodbye.

A piece of advice these guys seriously needed to follow.

This is How it Goes- Aimee Mann
This is how it goes
One more failure to connect
With so many how could I object
And you, what on earth did you expect

…..*headwall*

I’d Do Anything- Simple Plan
I'd do anything
Just to hold you in my arms
To try to make you laugh
‘Cause somehow I can't put you in the past
I'd do anything
Just to fall asleep with you
Will you remember me?
‘Cause I know
I won't forget you

Sorry, the mix was getting depressing there for a minute. Once again another shining example of how they’re really just that deeply connected even when they are separated.

White Flag- Dido
I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

Okay, back to slightly depressing. But once again, they are in love no matter what, no take-backs.

Unwell- Matchbox 20
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know, right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy I'm just a little impaired
I know, right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be

I think this kind of puts a nice neat little bow on their relationship, specifically in season 4. How much was it beautiful when they both returned to form during the Mutiny? Really?

Hallelujah- Rufus Wainwright
Remember when I moved in you; the holy dark was moving too, and every breath we drew was Hallelujah

Yes well... I’m gonna go cry in a corner now. Please enjoy the mix.
