Songs that remind you of MP and Jarod...

[AngeDeGlace]

Since I'm a newbie, I thought I'd begin a thread myself!

I like to read fanfic(obsessively) and I tend to listen to music when I read it. Over the years, certain songs have spoken to me of Miss Parker and Jarod's relationship(just like my other obsession La Femme Nikita). The one that I most identify with MP and Jarod is a by my favorite band Depeche Mode(Yes! DM!). It's called Useless, off of the album Ultra(consequently my fav DM album)

So, do you have any songs that remind you of Miss P and Jar??

BeeGees - You win again. (try listening to it while thinking of MP and Jarod.

M.O.P - Cold as Ice(its a rap song) Remember the car scene from IOTH when MP rejected Jarod, when I saw that scene the first song I thought of was Cold as Ice(you are as cold as ice, you’re willing to sacrifice......) love that line.

I remember - Madona. Somebody(Freaky ZzaZza I think) made a Pretender video with song and since then whenever I listen to it I think of the Pretender. Its too sad

Cool thread, AngeDeGlace, and welcome! ;D

The whole Fallen CD by Evanescence reminds me of tP.

I think "Bring me to Life" and "Everybody's Fool" are perfect theme songs for MP and "Going Under" is totally Jarod.

As far as the MP/J ship goes, "My Immortal" and "Haunted" get me everytime.

ZsaZsa has made 3 vids using Evanescence songs. Her website is www.geocities.com/freaky_zsazsa/index.html if you want to check them out.

Another song that I think is kind of shipper-ish is "When I Look to the Sky" by Train. I dunno, I can just see Jarod staring at the stars and thinking of Parker.

Pat Benatar - Love Is A Battlefield

[Porkywine]

This Love - Maroon 5

[Porkywine]

If anyones interested here are the lyrics:


I was so high I did not recognize
The fire burning in her eyes
The chaos that controlled my mind
Whispered goodbye and she got on a plane
Never to return again
But always in my heart

This love has taken its toll on me
She said Goodbye too many times before
And her heart is breaking in front of me
I have no choice cause I won't say goodbye anymore

I tried my best to feed her appetite
Keep her coming every night
So hard to keep her satisfied
Kept playing love like it was just a game

Pretending to feel the same
Then turn around and leave again

This love has taken its toll on me
She said Goodbye too many times before
And her heart is breaking in front of me
I have no choice cause I won't say goodbye anymore

I'll fix these broken things
Repair your broken wings
And make sure everything's alright
My pressure on her hips
Sinking my fingertips
Into every inch of you
Cause I know that's what you want me to do

Great song! I love Maroon 5! All of my friends who stayed in St. Paul and went to the University of St. Thomas were rubbing it in cuz Maroon 5 and Gavin DeGraw gave a concert there.

Which leads me to a song that I think could be Jarod's theme song. Unfortunately, it's also the theme song to "One Tree Hill" -- this awful show that my little sister watches where these high school students drink themselves into a stupor and have sex with everyone they lay eyes on.

But that's beside the point. This song is called "I Don't Want to Be" by Gavin DeGraw

I don't need to be anything other
Than a prison guard's son
I don't need to be anything other
Than a specialist's son
I don't have to be anything other
Than the birth of two souls in one
Part of where I'm going, is knowing where I'm coming from

I don't want to be
Anything other than what I've been trying to be lately
All I have to do
Is think of me and I have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms
Wondering what I've got to do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't want to be anything other than me

I'm surrounded by liars everywhere I turn
I'm surrounded by imposters everywhere I turn
I'm surrounded by identity crisis everywhere I turn
Am I the only one who noticed?
I can't be the only one who's learned

I don't want to be
Anything other than what I've been trying to be lately
All I have to do
Is think of me and I have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms
Wondering what I've got to do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't want to be anything other than me

Can I have everyone's attention please?
If you're not like this and that, you're gonna have to leave
I came from the mountain
The crust of creation
My whole situtaion-made from clay to stone
And now I'm telling everybody

I don't want to be
Anything other that what I've been trying to be lately
All I have to do
Is think of me and I have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms
Wondering what I've got to do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't want to be anything other than me
I don't want to be

The song has really great rhythm and being a percussionist, I'm in love with the drums in the song. You can listen to the song at Gavin's website -- www.gavindegraw.com/ All you have to do is click on this link and "I Don't Want to Be" will start playing when his site comes up.

These are my personal choices, that make me think of tP when I hear them:
Le Bel Age & Somebody's Baby - Pat Benatar
Whatever You Say - Martina McBride ;D
I Don't Wanna Fall In Love - Jane Child
These came to mine right away. I also agree that most of the Evanescence album could serve as mood music for Jarod to sit and ponder. If I think of any others I'll post.

I want to know what love is - Foreigner

I gotta take a little time, a little time to think things over
I better read between the lines, in case I need it when I'm older
Now this mountain I must climb, feels like the world upon my shoulders
Through the clouds I see love shine, it keeps me warm as life grows colder
In my life there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
Can't stop now, I've travelled so far, to change this lonely life

I want to know what love is, I want you to show me
I want to feel what love is, I know you can show me

I'm gonna take a little time, a little time to look around me
I've got nowhere left to hide, it looks like love has finally found me
In my life there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
Can't stop now, I've travelled so far, to change this lonely life

I want to know what love is, I want you to show me
I want to feel what love is, I know you can show me
I want to know what love is, I want you to show me
(And I wanna feel) I want to feel what love is
(And I know) I know you can show me
Let's talk about love - I want to know what love is
The love that you feel inside - I want you to show me
And I'm feeling so much love - I want to feel what love is
No, you just can't hide - I know you can show me
I want to know what love is (let's talk about love), I know you can show me
I wanna feel it too - I want to feel what love is
I wanna feel it too, and I know and I know - I know you can show me
Show me love is real, yeah - I want to know what love is...

I think this song describes Jarod so well. Searching for his family.

Bucky LaFontaine to Sydney, "I don't think that boy got much love growing up." (referring to Jarod. Episode: Gigolo Jarod)

Yep, I love that video a LOT. But it wasn't me who did it, it was Zee I think. Oh and it's Zsazsa and not ZzaZza LOL

[Angel]

Oh and:

It might be because most of all I'm a Miss Parker fan, I mean she's my favourite character from the Pretender, I have lots of songs that remind me of her. But the majority of those songs would be good for Jarod and Sydney too, just like the following. I think this one matches them all. But it might be only me:

Anastacia -Where Do I Belong


Life doesn't promise a bed of roses
Or white knights
Fields of emotions I'm trapped in darkness
Why me
Save me
To win this twisted war inside me
Won't justify the pain
Life doesn't promise a bed of roses

Chorus:
Lightening strikes the pages keep on turning
Help me to be strong
I'm floating in a sea of strange believers
Where do I belong?

Ohhh.. Ohh..

They paint a picture of perfect nowhere blue skies
Within every lie there's a web of comfort
For them
Not me
To win this twisted war inside me
Won't justify the pain
They paint you a picture of perfect nowhere

Chorus:
I said now
Lightening strikes the pages keep on turning
Help me to be strong
I'm floating in a sea of strange believers
Where do I belong?

Where do we go from here?
I wish I would disappear
I'm a lonely soul
So far from home

Yeah, yeah, yeah..

Lightening strikes the pages keep on turning
Help me, help me
I'm floating in a sea of strange believers
Where do I.. I said
Lightening strikes, I said lightening strikes
Floating in a sea of strange believers
Where do I belong?
