Title: My Ain True Love

Notes: A mix in three parts; hers, his, and "hell, these songs remind me of them and I want them on there somewhere but I can't find a place to fit them--aw, screw it, I'll just make an extra mix."
This is part two, or his mix. Part one is here, part three is here.
My Ain True Love
Part II: Deep Water

1) Over the Sea to Skye, Eric Rigler & Scarlet Rivera
[instrumental]
This to me is reminiscent of Admiral and Commander, and just sort of sounds like him to boot. Plus, it's a very nice song.
2) Same Deep Water as Me, I Am Kloot
Swim out to the ocean
Drown your thought out at sea
And dip your hands in the water
The same deep water as me
Miniseries. They're all in the same boat now. Could also be read as applying to his speech.
3) Winning a Battle, Losing the War, Kings of Convenience
Even though I'll never need her,
even though she's only giving me pain,
I'll be on my knees to feed her,
spend a day to make her smile again
Even though I'll never need her,
even though she's only giving me pain
As the world is soft around her,
leaving me with nothing to disdain.
Colonial Day. Bill doesn't get why he asked her to dance either.
4) Dethroned, X-Ray Dog
[instrumental]
The mutiny, Laura's betrayal. And then getting shot.
5) Call and Answer, Barenaked Ladies
I think it's getting to the point where I can be myself again
I think it's getting to the point where we have almost made amends
I think it's the getting to the point that is the hardest part.
If you call, I will answer
If you fall, I'll pick you up
And if you court this disaster
I'll point you home
Kobol, coming back together.
6) Recessional, Vienna Teng
And I never thought I would find her here: flannel and satin, my four walls transformed.
But she's looking at me, straight to center. No room at all for any other thought.
And I know I don't want this.
Oh, I swear I don't want this.
There's a reason not to want this but I forgot...
That Scene in Resurrection Ship part I, and a little bit That Scene in Resurrection Ship part II.
7) All I Ever Wanted, Jim Brickman
[instrumental]
Epiphanies.
8) What I'm Trying To Say, Stars
You look so good in the shoes of an outcast
I kissed your throat every time they said it wouldn't last
But then I knew you, I knew you, I knew you, I really knew you...
I am trying to say what I want to say
Without having to say
I love you
New Caprica. There's even a verse later on that's totally about smoking pot and lying around giggling together. My hand to God.
(baby geese, goslings, they were juggled... wait, wrong fandom)
9) Lovers in a Dangerous Time, Barenaked Ladies cover
Don't the hours grow shorter as the days go by
You never get to stop and open your eyes
One minute you're waiting for the sky to fall
The next you're dazzled by the beauty of it all
Lovers in a dangerous time
Lovers in a dangerous time
Coming back to New Caprica, and that reunion that we NEVER GOT TO SEE thanks, RDM. Thanks a lot.
10) I'm Yours, Jason Mraz
Well you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks
Now I'm trying to get back
Before the cool done run out
I'll be giving it my bestest
And nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some
I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours
Day in the Life, definitely. Did you see the look he had on his face after she walked out?
11) Let Me Take You There, Plain White T's
I know a place that we can go to
A place where no one knows you
They won't know who we are
I know a place that we can run to
And do those things we want to
They won't know who we are
Let me take you there
I'm not sure if this is Bill trying to get Laura to forgive him post-Baltar, or if it's just general trying to keep her safe and loved circua early season four. Your choice.
12) I'd Come For You, Nickelback
By now you'd know that I'd come for you
No one but you, yes I'd come for you
But only if you told me to
And I'd fight for you
I'd lie, it's true
Give my life for you
You know I'd always come for you
This, on the other hand, is definitely Sine Qua Non.
13) What Sarah Said, Death Cab for Cutie
But I knew that you were a truth
I would rather lose than to have never lain beside at all
...
But I'm thinking of what Sarah said
That love is watching someone die
Daybreak I and II. WAAAAAAAH.
14) You Will Be My Ain True Love, Alison Krauss
The field is cut and bleeds to red.
The cannon balls fly round my head,
The infirmary man may count me dead,
When I've gone to find my ain true love,
I've gone to find my ain true love
He'll get there someday.
