Everlasting Friend - A Kara/Lee Fanmix

1. Everlasting Friend - Blue October

Delay the hurtful words
Of complicated overcast
Please take the message that I'm
Picking up my chin at last
I said my confidence
It gets stronger when you're next to me
But we pray from miles away
In quest for what we long to be

I might crumble, I might take a fall again
(Still missing you)
I might crumble, I might take a fall again
But you're my everlasting friend
Everlasting friend

KARA
So how long's it been?

LEE
Two years.

KARA
Two years? We must be gettin' old. Seems like the funeral was just a couple months ago. Your old man's doing fine. We don't talk about it much, maybe two, three times a year. He still struggles with it, though.

LEE
I haven't seen him.

KARA
Why not?

LEE
Kara, don't even start.

KARA
How long are you gonna do this?

LEE
I'm not doing anything.

KARA
He lost his son, Lee.

LEE
And who's responsible for that?

KARA
Same old Lee. You haven't changed either.

2. Lonelily - Damien Rice

I gave me away
I could have knocked off the evening
But I lonelily landed my waltz in her hands
In a way I felt you were leaving me
I was sure I wouldn't find you at home
And you let me down
You could have knocked off the evening
But you lonelily let him push under your bone
You let me down
It's no use deceiving
Neither of us wanna be alone

You're coming home, you're coming home

LEE
Helmet.

KARA
You are so unprepared.

LEE
Shut up.

KARA
You are the worst CAG in the history of C.A.G.S, actually.

3. I Need Some Fine Wine And You, You Need To Be Nicer - The Cardigans

Sit, good dog, stay, bad dog, down, roll over
Well here's a good man and a pretty young girl
Trying to play together somehow,
I'm wasting my life, you're changing the world,
I get drunk and watch your head grow

It's the good times that we share
and the bad times that we'll have
It's the good times
and the bad times that we had

Well it's been a long slow collision,
I'm a pitbull, you're a dog,
Baby you're foul in clear conditions
But you're handsome in the fog

So I need some fine wine, and you, you need to be nicer
For the good times and the bad times
That we'll have

Sometimes we talk over dinner like old friends
Till I go and kill the bottle,
I go off over any old thing,
Break your heart
and raise a glass or ten

LEE
Come on, Kara, gimme a break. Just-

KARA
Why are we arguing about this?

LEE
I have no idea.

KARA
Neither do I. You're the CAG, act like one.

LEE
What the hell does that mean?

KARA
It means that you're still acting like you're everyone's best friend. We're not friends, you're the CAG. "Be careful out there"? Our job isn't to be careful, it's to shoot Cylons out of the frakkin' sky. "Good hunting" is what you say. And now one of your idiot pilots is acting like a child and refusing to take her pills. So she either says "Yes, sir" and obeys a direct order, or you smack her in the mouth, and you drag her sorry ass down to sick bay, and you make her take those pills.

LEE
Well, I'm glad I'm not working for you.

KARA
Damn right you're glad.

LEE
So do I have to smack you in the mouth, lieutenant?

KARA
No, sir, I'll take my pills. Oh, perfect.

LEE
Carry on.

KARA
Yes, sir.

4. Bang The Doldrums - Fall Out Boy

Best friends
Ex-friends till the end
Better off as lovers
And not the other way around
Racing through the city
Windows down
In the back of yellow checkered cars

KARA
Like my new toy?

LEE
Boy, when you take a souvenir, you don't screw around. Oh, my gods, you smell like a latrine.

KARA
Mmm... you wanna give me a bath?

5. It's Not Over - Daughtry

Let's start over.
I'll try to do it right this time around.
It's not over.
'Cause a part of me is dead and in the ground.
This love is killing me,
But you're the only one.
It's not over.

KARA
You want something from me?

LEE
Not a thing.

KARA
'Cause I don't owe you anything.

LEE
No, you don't owe me anything 'cause I'm just a C.A.G. And you're just a pilot.

KARA
Right.

LEE
Pilot who can't keep her pants on.

KARA
Right.

LEE
Oh, it is just like old times, Kara. Like when you got drunk and you couldn't keep your hands off that major from wherever--

(They start a physical fight)

LEE
Why'd you do it, Kara? Just tell me why.

KARA
'Cause I'm a screw-up, Lee, try and keep that in mind.

6. Momentum - The Hush Sound

You are the dark ocean bottom
And I am the fast sinking anchor
Should I fall for you
Should I fall for you
You are the scar on my tissue
That I show all of my new friends
Should I show you me
Should I show you me

All we need is a little bit of momentum
Breakdown these walls
That we've built around ourselves
All we need is a little bit of inertia
Breakdown and tell
Breakdown and tell

These rules are made to break and these walls are built to fall

LEE
I just want you to know, Kara, that I'm your friend. I love you. If there's anything you wanna talk about, anything you wanna get off your chest, then I'm here for you. Anyway... whenever you wanna talk, just let me know.

KARA
What was that middle part again?

LEE
Hmm? What do you mean?

KARA
Did you say you love me?

LEE
Well, um--

KARA
Lee Adama loves me.

LEE
No, all I meant was--

KARA
No, seriously, very sweet. You love me.

LEE
(laughs nervously)

KARA
No, you love me. You can't take it back. There's no take-backs.

LEE
You're dreaming it, Kara.

KARA
You love me.

LEE
You're dreaming it.

KARA
You love me.

LEE
Dreamer.

KARA
Mm-hmm. Okay.

7. Slow Dancing In A Burning Room - John Mayer

I was the one you always dreamed of,
You were the one I tried to draw.
How dare you say it's nothing to me?
Baby, you're the only light I ever saw.

I'll make the most of all the sadness,
You'll be a bitch because you can.
You try to hit me just to hurt me
So you leave me feeling dirty
Because you can't understand.

We're going down,
And you can see it too.
We're going down,
And you know that we're doomed.
My dear,
We're slow dancing in a burning room.

LEE
So, um, that bum knee of yours is looking pretty good. And the other one's not too bad either.

KARA
Lee, if you wanna ask me to dance, just ask.

LEE
You wanna dance?

8. Ride - Liz Phair

As I stumble into bed, I curse the devil in my head
And if I die before I wake, I hope the Lord won't hesitate
To pluck my coffin from the ground
He need not heed the neighbors now
And throw me up for all to see the flies of
August swarming me...

I get a ride
Right by your side
Under your skin
I'm digging in

Well, I don't know, but I've been told
The road to heaven is paved with gold
And if I die before I wake, I need a ride
From you

I get a ride
Right by your side
Under your skin
I'm digging in

Well, sticks and stones can break my bones
And boys can make me kick and moan
But when I want it, I don't drive, I get a ride
I get a ride
From you

LEE
Hey, what about us?

KARA
There is no us, all right? I just wanted a good lay. There is nothing here. Do you get that? Nothing.

9. Call And Answer - Barenaked Ladies

You think I only think about you
when we're both in the same room
You think I'm only here to witness
the remains of love exhumed
You think we're here to play
a game of who loves more than whom

And if you call, I will answer
and if you fall, I'll pick you up
and if you court this disaster
I'll point you home

KARA
This is a frakked-up thing that I've been asked to do. But we kill people for a living. They say shoot, we shoot.

LEE
So you're gonna do this?

KARA
Yeah, I'm gonna do it.

LEE
Kara.

KARA
I could use some backup. I'll understand if you can't.

LEE
You know better than that.

10. Set The Fire To The Third Bar - Snow Patrol ft. Martha Wainwright

I find the map and draw a straight line
Over rivers, farms, and state lines
The distance from here to where you'd be
It's only finger-lengths that I see
I touch the place where I'd find your face
My finger in creases of distant dark places

I hang my coat up in the first bar
There is no peace that I've found so far
The laughter penetrates my silence
As drunken men find flaws in science

Their words mostly noises
Ghosts with just voices
Your words in my memory
Are like music to me

I'm miles from where you are,
I lay down on the cold ground
and I, I pray that something picks me up
And sets me down in your warm arms

After I have travelled so far
We'd set the fire to the third bar
We'd share each other like an island
Until exhausted, close our eyelids
And dreaming, pick up from
The last place we left off
Your soft skin is weeping
A joy you can't keep in

LEE
Give me a tour of the future life of Kara Anders.

KARA
I'm not getting married.

LEE
Well, then, what's the point, Kara? I mean, you love him, right?

KARA
Where are we going with this, Lee?

LEE
Well, that's the question, isn't it? Where are we going? I mean what if this is-this is it? The rest of your life, Kara. Is this how you want to spend it? Is this who you want to spend it with?

11. You Are A Runner And I Am My Father's Son - Wolf Parade

And I'll build a house inside of you
I'll go in through the mouth
I'll draw three figures on your heart
One of them will be me as a boy
One of them will be me
One of them will be me watching you run
Watching you run
Into the high noon sun
Watching you run
Farther than guns will go
You are a runner
With a stolen voice
And you are a runner
And I am my father's son

ADAMA
Kara got married. Can you believe that?

LEE
(who looks like he's been sucker-punched times infinity)
What?

ADAMA
Yeah, about an hour ago. Found herself a priest, went down by the river and got married.

(Lee, by now, has to remind himself to that the trick is to keep breathing. His father shows concern.)

ADAMA
You okay? Can you believe that? Well, she deserves it, man. We all deserve to be happy.

12. Lie In The Sound - Trespassers William

I love you more than I should
So much more than is good for me
More than is good

Oh, the timing is cruel
Oh, I need and don't want to need
More than I should

LEE
So, it was your idea.

KARA
Yeah. It was my idea.

13. Lacrymosa - Evanescence

I can't change who I am
Not this time, I wont lie to keep you near me
And in this short life, there's no time to waste on giving up
My love wasn't enough

And you can blame it on me
Just set your guilt free, honey
I don't want to pull you back now love

KARA
Hey. Hey! Where the frak do you think you're going?

LEE
It's over, Kara.

KARA
So, what? You have the guts to frak another man's woman but not to fight one? I wonder if Dee knew what she was getting. Think she would have settled for sloppy seconds? (He hits her) Truth stings, don't it?

LEE
You want a fight, Captain. You got it.

14. The Little Things Give You Away - Linkin Park

Don't want to reach for me do you?
I mean nothing to you
The little things give you away

And now there will be no mistaking
The levees are breaking

All you've ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you
And six feet underwater I do

LEE
If you want to die, I will open up an airlock for you, but you are not taking one of my Vipers with you!

KARA
The bird's on the deck. I'm on the deck. I don't know what you're bitching about.

LEE
I don't give a frak what you do, Starbuck, you're done flying.

15. Little House - The Fray

She doesn't look, she doesn't see
Opens up for nobody
Figures out, she figures out
Narrow line, she can't decide
Everything short of suicide
Never hurts, nearly works

Something is scratching its way out
Something you want to forget about

LEE
Okay, Kara, I'm coming to get you.

KARA
Lee, I'll see you on the other side.

LEE
Kara, please, listen to me. Come back!

KARA
Just let me go.

LEE
Gods dammit, Kara, you come back! Come back!

16. Nothing & Nowhere - Emily Haines & The Soft Skeleton

Playgrounds are graveyards
And all of our scars are permanent
Permanent
There's no placement for places
I'll always love you, you're mine
Numb is the new high, old memories die out
'Til nothing and nowhere is golden

KARA
So, what'd the old man have to say about my combat report? Starbuck's finally gone off the deep end, unfit for duty.

LEE
He said I'm the CAG, it's my call.

KARA
And what do you say?

LEE
Well, I say I trust your eyes over DRAIDIS any day of the week. Something could have been there and vanished in the cloud cover.

KARA
So, you don't think I'm nuts.

LEE
I didn't say that. You're a raving lunatic as demented and deranged as the first day I met you.

KARA
(smiling and almost crying)
And you're a bastard.

17. I Drive Alone - Esthero

Can't move on
But I can't go home
And I'm not so strong
But I make my way
To the place I know
Inside my heart
Where I used to go
To get brave and
I don't wanna be lost anymore

LEE
She's been gone two weeks. I didn't realize the clock was running.

ADAMA
Stop.

LEE
No, I'm sorry. Maybe we're just built differently.

ADAMA
You stop. Don't you dare quantify my loss.

LEE
You have no idea! You have no frakking idea!

ADAMA
What? You think yours is deeper? Yours is greater?

18. The End's Not Near - Band Of Horses

The end's not near
It's here
Alleluia
Spread the cheer
And watch the millenarians
Throw a party for a thousand years

You won't see the pious praying
They'll be too busy flaying
All the martyrs with better ways
To stop the world decaying

If you call me I won't be home
I'm hiding from the kingdom come
They can't see everything on earth
With the satellites and the roving drones

This is why hell is underground
Like a reclaimed bad part of town
We don't want to lose our souls
We're the saints who don't want to be found

KARA
Hi, Lee.

LEE
Kara?

KARA
Don't freak out, it really is me. It's gonna be okay. I've been to Earth. I know where it is and I'm gonna take us there.

Download Mix

So, I almost went ahead to explain each and every individual track, but I'm almost positive it would put this entire entry over the limit of words/characters/etc... and if you're a fan then I'm sure you can pick up the meanings fairly easily. There were plenty of other quotes and other moments I wanted to include in this mix but in the end this is what it came down to.

So, um, I'm a huge geek and this took me frakking forever to make. Blood, sweat and tears. I actually started crying while making it which just adds to the fangirliness and geekiness. I'm possibly a little too proud of this mix, the fan art, etc and I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did making it. Comments make me totally happy so feel free to do that too ;) Also, let me know if you need the individual tracks.

- Heidi

P.S. If you're a Kara/Lee fan you should totally join up

I'm really excited to listen to this. Some of these songs I know and think are a great fit - I Need Some Fine Wine And You, You Need To Be Nicer, Bang the Doldrums, Call and Answer, Nothing and Nowhere - so I'm really looking forward to hearing the rest.

Date: 2007-05-29 04:02 am (UTC)

Thank you! It was pretty exciting making the mix too. I have a pretty huge eclectic music library so it took a while but I'm pretty sure the others are good fits too ;) Anyway, I hope you enjoy the mix and, if you feel like it, let me know how you liked it :)

Thank you! It was fun to go through my music collection and pick out some awesome songs that I could associate with Kara and Lee - as well as spend the time on the graphics. A lot of work, but fun!

I hope you enjoy the mix!
