Good morning fellow browncoats :)


Maybe it's just me but for the last several weeks I've been getting these subliminal messages about our favorite tv series. Has anyone else been experiencing this? I'm listing some example below.

I've just completed reading the book "Flags of Our Fathers". A book about the battle the US Marines fought on the Island of Iwo Jima. Throughout the entire book the words Firefly/Serenity/Fox kept popping up. When I would come across these words I was kinda taken back and it had me reflecting about our show. Then the other day I'm listening to the new Nickleback song "If Everyone Cared" and about halfway through the song I swear the lyrics went something like this....

Amen I...Amen I, I'm alive,I'm alive....and in the end FIREFLY's
Our only light in paradise,

Show fox that they were wrong,
And teach them how to sing along,
Singing Amen I, I'm alive,I'm alive....Singing Amen I, I'm alive,I'm alive,


Then further down it goes

Amen I, Amen I, I'm alive,I'm alive
And as we travel through the verse,
The dvds we do disperse,

Joss should know that we still hold,
Till he continues his stories untold,
Singing Amen I,I'm alive,I'm alive....Singing Amen I, Amen I, I'm alive,I'm alive

Anyone else hear this verson?

I'm hearing something similar. not exactly word for word, but close enough.

Who knew that the world could be so broken up about Fox's decision! I thought it was just us!

The lyrics from their site are as follows:

Quote:

From underneath the trees, we watch the sky
Confusing stars for satellites
I never dreamed that you’d be mine
But here we are, we’re here tonight

Singing Amen, I’m alive
Singing Amen, I’m alive

If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
We’d see the day when nobody died
And I’m singing

Amen I, I’m alive
Amen I, I’m alive

And in the air the fireflies
Our only light in paradise
We’ll show the world they were wrong
And teach them all to sing along

Singing Amen I’m alive
Singing Amen I’m alive

If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
We’d see the day when nobody died
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
We’d see the day when nobody died

And as we lie beneath the stars
We realize how small we are
If they could love like you and me
Imagine what the world could be

If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
We’d see the day when nobody died

We’d see the day, we’d see the day
When nobody died
We’d see the day, we’d see the day
When nobody died
We’d see the day when nobody died




But I like your version better. Hey - maybe they snuck in their 'special' version under the nose of their publishers ;)

ZEEK


Just go look up the lyrics. You got the firefly part about right, but you need to replace "fox" with "the world" and all that joss stuff with your own daydreaming.

Doesn't look like it was a Firefly tribute to me.

Edit: grrr MrBen beat me to it.

Daydreaming? Yup I was daydreaming. That's what I was doin. Don't want anyone to think I was listening to music while under the influence of mind altering medication because I wasn't. No really I wasn't!!

What happens if you play the track backwards? Does it play the marching hymn of the 76th?

Hmmmmmmm SpaceAnJL....That's something to ponder about. Mayhaps if played in reverse we might hear the FF theme song sung by Mr Whedon himself?
