I came across a Rock/Alternative song on Launchcast that has a strong Civil War feel to it complete with violins and drums. In fact, when the violin (or whatever) started the song off, I thought it was a song from the Firefly soundtrack. It is a catchy pop/rock tune (especially the chorus) that I felt would be perfect for a Firefly video. However, I don't make videos. I was wondering if one of the talented vid makers out there would care to make one. I didn't know if the lyrics would fit until I found them on the site. The lyrics seem to fit Mal extremely well. The song is "66 Sleepers to Summer" by Hope of the States. I don't know what the song title means, but here are the lyrics...

Blind men saw
What no one ever saw before.
Someone with nothing,
Standing on the edge of the earth.
All roads lead to somewhere else.
I know I lost my way.

Don't make me a leader,
I'll lead you all wrong.
Let me just sing sad songs
To right all their wrongs.
There ain't a change coming soon,
I couldn't even save us,
No saviour am I.
They sold us out for nothing
There's something to say.
It's getting worse every day.

Empty hearts
And winter riot hopeless blues
Ideas for falling:
Why don't you just hold on?

Don't make me a leader,
I'll lead you all wrong.
Let me just sing sad songs
To right all their wrongs.
There ain't a change coming soon,
I couldn't even save us,
No saviour am I.
They sold us out for nothing
There's something to say.
It's getting worse every day.

I couldn't even save us,
No saviour am I.
They sold us out for nothing
There's something to say.
It's getting worse every day.
I know I'm lying
But I can't let you down anymore.
I'm not the one to lead you all.

Another one I found recently that seems like it would be prefect for a Mal vid is If You're Going Through Hell, by Rodney Atkins.

"Love keeps her in the air when she oughta fall down, tells you when she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home." .......We love you, captain.

"This is the captain. We may experience some slight turbulence and then.....explode"

Muse - Knights of Cydonia.

Definately a song for Firefly. Take one look at the video for it and you'll see. Its dubbed as a Spaghetti Western. With Electronics. And Queen influences. The video shows a Western, but with ray guns, motorbikes and robots.

And I also love the song

Too late. I used Cydonia.

It's just bloody Tube taking forever.

I love this song. I spent all day making this video and I'm still not sick of it. Have I mentioned how much I love this song?

I've got two for Mal/Inarra. Both are by Los Lonely Boys off of their new CD "Sacred" and when I first heard them I said that they are both about Mal and Inarra's relationship.

First from Mal's perspective when Inarra leaves after the BDS:

The first is "Roses"

Lord I'm so lonely
How will I ever find my way
I look out my window
Rain's falling down just like the tears on my face

It feels like this pain could last forever
Now that I know she's not coming back
So many things that I tried to say
It didn't matter she wouldn't stay

I smelled the roses the other day
When she walked away

She had her reasons
She never felt there was a need to explain
And she won't be knockin
And she won't be callin on the phone

It feels like this pain could last forever
Now that I know she's not coming back
So many thing that I tried to say
It didn't matter she wouldn't stay

I smelled the roses the other day
When she walked away.

"Diamonds" is a good song for one Mal realizes he loves Inarra and they finally get together:

I'm lookin at a rainbow
Way yonder across them hills
And my my baby's love is with me
And I know it's for real

Chorus:
I ain't got no diamond
Girl you know I ain't got no gold
I ain't never been a rich man
But girl I got ya here to hold.

We dance out in the moonlit sky
But it pales beside her light
As she puts her arms around me
Ya I tell her it's alright

Chorus

When you find what really matters
In that moment you will see
Far beyond our selfish wonders
Love is simple, love is free

Chorus

But I have you
Love you darlin
Girl I've got you here to hold
