The Remnant - Josh Ritter
I know who you are old man keep running I caught your trail as you left the pines Out into the fields where you couldn't hide nowhere Just a thin stitch up against the rising line And up through the blue I knew the stars were tumbling Up through the blue I knew the star were tumbling
I know who you are old man keep running I tracked you down by the look in the eyes Of a thousand gone faces pressed against their windows Horses hiding in the willows till the storm passed by And a fine gray dust seemed to settle on the future A fine gray dust seemed to settle in between Your hat and the dapple of my appaloosa The only living things that I could see And up through the blue I knew that stars were tumbling Up through the blue I knew the stars were tumbling
I know who you are old man keep running I walked across the bottom of the lake below Your boat and did you know that when you landed I was watching As the sky turned dark as the eyes of a foal And I'll know you by the shift of the wind in the cobwebs The sawdust swirls in the fins of the bullheads The craters that you made when you lay down dreaming Strange constellations that you gave new meaning By the teeth marks you made on bones from the ice age Then smell of the cinder burning slow in your rib cage Listen in the distance and you'll hear my shadow Footsteps soft as the tread of an echo And up through the blue I knew the stars were tumbling Up through the blue I knew the stars were tumbling
And the ground will open out into a mouth below us And the mouth will open out into the empty sky And the whistle as we hurtle through the halls of onyx The only sound around us as we go by And I'll follow you out through the wells of charcoal Moonlit stones around the cones of a black hole Through the fields where grow the ever and forever The tessellated blooms with the voids at their centers Through the million rooms in a bead of luminescence The filaments on the looms of dimension The pillars of creation where they make the planets The billion tiny teeth that tear the charge from your atoms In a trillion tiny bites they'll eat the meat from the pearl And throw your soul away a cold grey little world And nothing that is hidden will be revealed And nothing that is hidden will be revealed And nothing that is hidden will be revealed

"You Could Be Happy"
You could be happy and I won't know But you weren't happy the day I watched you go
And all the things that I wished I had not said Are played in loops 'till it's madness in my head
Is it too late to remind you how we were But not our last days of silence, screaming, blur
Most of what I remember makes me sure I should have stopped you from walking out the door
You could be happy, I hope you are You made me happier than I'd been by far
Somehow everything I own smells of you And for the tiniest moment it's all not true
Do the things that you always wanted to Without me there to hold you back, don't think, just do
More than anything I want to see you, girl Take a glorious bite out of the whole world

Jack for Rae when he leaves for the physics and everythings all new and confusing and he's writing her letters.
Painting Flowers Strange maze, what is this place? I hear voices over my shoulder, Nothing's making sense at all. Wonder, why do we race? When everyday we're runnin' in circles, Such a funny way to fall. Tried to open up my eyes, I'm hopin' for a chance to make it alright.
When I wake up, The dream isn't done. I wanna see your face, And know I made it home. If nothing is true, What more can I do? I am still painting flowers for you. Show my cards, Gave you my heart, Wish we could start all over. Nothing's makin' sense at all. Tried to open up my eyes, I'm hopin' for a chance to make it alright.
When I wake up, The dream isn't done. I wanna see your face, And know I made it home. If nothing is true, What more can I do? I am still painting flowers for you, I am still painting flowers for you.
I heard everything you said, I don't wanna lose my head,
When I wake up, The dream isn't done. I wanna see your face, And know I made it home. If nothing is true, What more can I do? I am still painting flowers for you, I am still painting flowers for you.

"You And Me"
What day is it? And in what month? This clock never seemed so alive I can't keep up and I can't back down I've been losing so much time
'Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do Nothing to lose And it's you and me and all other people And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you
One of the things that I want to say just aren't coming out right I'm tripping on words You've got my head spinning I don't know where to go from here
'Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do Nothing to prove And it's you and me and all other people And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you
There's something about you now I can't quite figure out Everything she does is beautiful Everything she does is right
'Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do Nothing to lose And it's you and me and all other people And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you and me and all other people with nothing to do Nothing to prove And it's you and me and all other people And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you
What day is it? And in what month? This clock never seemed so alive

Rae's feelings about Jack before she runs away
Adele - Hiding my heart
This is how the story went I met someone by accident who blew me away blew me away And It was in the darkest of my days When you took my sorrow and you took my pain And buried them away, you buried them away
I wish I could lay down beside you When the day is done And wake up to your face against the morning sun But like everything I've ever known you'll disappear one day So I'll spend my whole life hiding my heart away
Dropped you off at the train station Put a kiss on top of your head And watched you wave And watched you wave Then I went on home to my skyscrapers Neon lights and waiting papers That I call home I call that home
I wish I could lay down beside you When the day is done And wake up to your face against the morning sun But like everything I've ever known You'll disappear one day So I'll spend my whole life hiding my heart away Away, yeah
Woke up feeling heavy hearted I'm going back to where I started The morning rain The morning rain And though I wish that you were here on that same old road that brought me here It's calling me home It's calling me home
I wish I could lay down beside you When the day is done And wake up to your face against the morning sun But like everything I've ever known You'll disappear one day So I'll spend my whole life hiding my heart away
I can't spend my whole life hiding my heart away

"Whatever It Takes" - Lifehouse
A strangled smile fell from your face It kills me that I hurt you this way The worst part is that I didn't even know Now there's a million reasons for you to go But if you can find a reason to stay
I'll do whatever it takes To turn this around I know what's at stake I know that I've let you down And if you give me a chance Believe that I can change I'll keep us together whatever it takes
She said "If we're gonna make this work You gotta let me inside even though it hurts Don't hide the broken parts that I need to see" She said "Like it or not it's the way it's gotta be You gotta love yourself if you can ever love me"
I'll do whatever it takes To turn this around I know what's at stake I know that I've let you down And if you give me a chance And give me a break I'll keep us together, I know you deserve much better
But remember the time I told you the way that I felt That I'd be lost without you and never find myself Let's hold onto each other above everything else Start over, start over
I'll do whatever it takes To turn this around I know what's at stake I know I've let you down And if you give me a chance and believe that I can change I'll keep us together whatever it takes

When I hear this song, i dont care how old t may be, I think of Jack and Rae. Like a song jack would write to her when he's gone to the physics thing. I can just pcture hm singing it about her with that guitar of his... ;D
"Wrap My Words Around You" - Daniel Bedingfield
Is it fair to write a song to a woman? Is it fair play to try and win her heart? Is it right to bring her sonnets In the morning time? To express the first few Longings when they start To express the first few Longings when they start
Is it right to let her feelings Rise to catch you? Is it OK when her heart begins to fall? Would you blame me if I Wrap my words around you girl? Would I wrong you To say anything at all? Would I wrong you To say anything at all?
But if I wrap my words around you Wrap my words around you If I wrap my words around you Would you stay Would you stay, would you? Wrap my words around you Wrap my words around you If I wrap my words around you Would you stay? Would it play with your heart?
Am I a hunter if I send poems to please you? Am I a cad if I mean everything I say? Should I even let you know This song's about you girl Just because I want to see you smile today And my words may bind you To me much too tightly You may choke upon them if we fall apart It's not fair to write a song to a woman, no, Because a woman takes a song into her heart Because a woman takes a song into her heart
So let me wrap my words around you Wrap my words around you Wrap my words around you Till you stay, till you stay, let me Wrap my words around you Wrap my words around you Darling, wrap my words around you Till you stay? Would it play with your heart?

this song, like the one i put up for jack, I imagined Rae writing for him when she's gone. love this song!
Breathe - Anna Nalick
2 AM and she calls me 'cause I'm still awake, "Can you help me unravel my latest mistake?, I don't love him. Winter just wasn't my season" Yeah we walk through the doors, so accusing their eyes Like they have any right at all to criticize, Hypocrites. You're all here for the very same reason
'Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table No one can find the rewind button, girl. So cradle your head in your hands And breathe... just breathe, Oh breathe, just breathe
May he turned 21 on the base at Fort Bliss "Just a day" he said down to the flask in his fist, "Ain't been sober, since maybe October of last year." Here in town you can tell he's been down for a while, But, my God, it's so beautiful when the boy smiles, Wanna hold him. Maybe I'll just sing about it.
Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable, And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table. No one can find the rewind button, boys, So cradle your head in your hands, And breathe... just breathe, Oh breathe, just breathe
There's a light at each end of this tunnel, You shout 'cause you're just as far in as you'll ever be out And these mistakes you've made, you'll just make them again If you'd only try turning around.
2 AM and I'm still awake, writing a song If I get it all down on paper, it's no longer inside of me, Threatening the life it belongs to And I feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd Cause these words are my diary, screaming out loud And I know that you'll use them, however you want to
But you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable, And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table No one can find the rewind button now Sing it if you understand. and breathe, just breathe woah breathe, just breathe, Oh breathe, just breathe, Oh breathe, just breathe.

This a song for Rae, and the abuse her dad gives her. And the chorus is perfect for her memories of her mother. And at the end, where it says 'when morning comes it'll be too late' is perfect for when she leaves without a word and her dad s charged with her murder because of the blood they find in her room and on his clothes. And the statue she sings about will be Raes grave or memorial. I have it all planned out dude.
She walks to school with the lunch she packed Nobody knows what she's holdin' back Wearing the same dress she wore yesterday She hides the bruises with linen and lace
The teacher wonders but she doesn't ask It's hard to see the pain behind the mask Bearing the burden of a secret storm Sometimes she wishes she was never born
Through the wind and the rain She stands hard as a stone In a world that she can't rise above But her dreams give her wings And she flies to a place where she's loved Concrete angel
Somebody cries in the middle of the night The neighbors hear, but they turn out the lights A fragile soul caught in the hands of fate When morning comes it'll be too late
Through the wind and the rain She stands hard as a stone In a world that she can't rise above But her dreams give her wings And she flies to a place where she's loved Concrete angel
A statue stands in a shaded place An angel girl with an upturned face A name is written on a polished rock A broken heart that the world forgot
Through the wind and the rain She stands hard as a stone In a world that she can't rise above But her dreams give her wings And she flies to a place where she's loved Concrete angel

A song for Jack when he's a killer and when he's regretting it.
when you find your castle on the hill with the bars on the windows will you burn the bridge behind you will you ever come out and see the sun again or will you hide and now how long has it been since you've seen the light
make your way on the stairs to the top of your tower stone cold floors hardwood doors lead you to your room of plastic flowers they still look the same drenched in water it comforts you to think that they're alive
it could have been easier than this if you threw it all away what would you miss it could have been too much of a chance to take the silence in your head would have to break your grip is slipping faster looks like you'll have to face yourself after all
step outside the shadows of your cage strangled truth stolen youth is written on every line of every page it's your story do you want it back you have to decide if it is worth it swim across the swamp to the other side run until you're out of breath and when you look back they'll be nothing left but a memory fading quickly
it could have been easier than this if you threw it all away what would you miss it could have been too much of a chance to take the silence in your head would have to break your grip is slipping faster looks like you'll have to face yourself after all
it could have been easier than this if you threw it all away what would you miss it could have been too much of a chance to take the silence in your head would have to break your grip is slipping faster looks like you'll have to face yourself after all

I think this song is relevant not just to the male characters, but to the female characters as well. I think it's how everyone feels about their partner right now... Well... Excluding Rae maybe I also think it's relevant to how they'll feel towards their children... Well... Excluding Devlin maybe. Right now though this is kind of how I see Jack's feelings towards Rae developing; because they hadn't been very close and she didn't really like him, but then the more she opens up to him the more he feels like they're both growing up, and then he feels very protective of her during the whole haunted house thingy. It's kind of like, he wants her to grow up a little more, but at the same time, he's worried she'll find out about the bet, which is where the song talks about fairytales, and he's worried that everythings going to fall apart after the physics thing. In my arms Your baby blues So full of wonder Your curly cues Your contageous smile And as I watch You start to grow up All I can do is hold you tight Knowing clouds will rage And storms will race in But you will be safe in my arms Rains will pour down Waves will crash all around But you will be safe in my arms Story books full of fairy tales Of kings and queens and the bluest skies My heart is torn just in knowing You'll someday see the truth from lies Knowing clouds will rage And storms will race in But you will be safe in my arms Rains will pour down Waves will crash all around But you will be safe in my arms Castles they might crumble Dreams may not come true But you are never all alone Because I will always Always love you Clouds will rage And storms will race in But you will be safe in my arms Rains will pour down Waves will crash all around But you will be safe in my arms

Relevant: A. This is kinda how Kes will feel in the zombie apocolypse when she thinks John's dead and she's attracted to Devlin again but she knows she's still married to someone else. B. Jack. When he starts to feel guilty about the bet, and he's afraid he's genuinely starting to care about Rae. Mostly this is relevant for this song. This is now my anthem for Jack, I do not care what you say, that it shall be.
"I should go."
Here we are Isn't it familiar Haven't had someone to talk to In such a long time And it's strange All we have in common And your company was just the thing I needed tonight Somehow I feel I should apologize Cuz I'm just a little shaken By what's going on inside
I should go Before my will gets any weaker And my eyes begin to linger Longer than they should I should go Before I lose my sense of reason And this hour holds more meaning Than it ever could I should go I should go Baby, I should go
It's so hard Keeping my composure And pretend I don't see how Your body curves beneath your clothes And your laugh Is pure and unaffected It frightens me to know so well the place I shouldn't go I know I gotta take the noble path Cuz I don't want you to question The intentions that I have
I should go Before my will gets any weaker And my eyes begin to linger Longer than they should I should go Before I lose my sense of reason And this hour holds more meaning Than it ever could I should go I should go Baby, I should go
I don't mean to leave you with a trivial excuse And when you call tomorrow, I'll know what to do
I should go Before my will gets any weaker And my eyes begin to linger Longer than they should I should go Before I lose my sense of reason And this hour holds more meaning Than it ever could I should go I should go Baby, I should go

This is from Rae's POV, singing about, well, everything.
You say you fell while holding diamonds in your hands "It's your fault for running, holding diamonds," I said And I offer no sympathy for that I hear that it was you who died alone And I offer no sympathy for that Better off I sparkle on my own
Someday love will find me in the rough Someday love will finally be enough
I turned around 3 times and wound up at your door Now you say you know all you did not know before And I offer no sympathy for that I hear that it was you who died alone And I offer no sympathy for that Better off I sparkle on my own
And someday love will find me in the rough Someday love will finally be enough
I got your love letters I threw them all away And I hear you think that I'm crazy I'm driving 95 And I'm driving you away And I shine a little more lately
Someday love will find me in the rough Someday love will finally be enough
Someday love will find me in the rough Someday love will finally be enough
I shine a little more lately

This is pretty much how Rae feels when she's run away, pregnant, all that. She misses Carter. She misses Jack. A lot.
And all my sorrows awaken And all my fear's run down I turn myself into an angel I run myself into the ground
I'm on my own I'm sure I'll feel it now I'm on my own I'm sure I'll know it now I'm on my own I'm sure I'll feel it now I'm on my own I'm sure I'll know it now
And all the reasons invading Twist and turn my aching soul I leave myself behind in pieces I know you'll need them when I'm gone
I'm on my own I'm sure I'll know it now I'm on my own I'm sure I'll feel it now
I'll never see again I'll never see again The worst has come I'm fallin' in I'll never see you again I'll never see you again The worst has come I'm fallin' in
I'm on my own I'm sure I'll feel it now I'm on my own I'm sure I'll know it now I'm on my own I'm sure I'll feel it now I'm on my own I'm sure I'll know it now

"How"
Ohhh
I have been searching for your touch Unlike any touch I've ever known And I never thought about you much Til I'm broken down and all alone, ohhh
Though I don't understand the meaning of love I do not mind if I die trying, ohhh Took it for granted when you lifted me up
I'm asking for your help I am going through hell Afraid nothing can save me but the sound of your voice You cut out all the noise And now that I can see mistakes so clearly now I'd kill if I could take you back
But how? But how?
I can feel it in my guts What's going on with him now And don't patronise me with lies I'm a man, be a woman now, ohhh
I have been bound by the shackles of love And I don't mind if I die tied up, ohhh Took it for granted when you lifted me up
I'm asking for your help I am going through hell Afraid nothing can save me but the sound of your voice You cut out all the noise And now that I can see mistakes so clearly now I'd kill if I could take you back
But how? But how? But how? But how?
Ohh yeh Why must we be so ugly And please do not think ill of me Why does the one you love Become the one who makes you want to cry Why? Why? Why?
And how? How?
But I don't understand the meaning of love I do not mind if I die trying I do not mind if I die trying I do not mind if I die trying
