Songs that fits to Reela!

I have so many reela songs. But this just came on and I thought of this thread. It's a song by Opshop, a New Zealand band, called Waiting now. It makes me think back to roomie days. Well specifically to when ray is standing watching the taxi drive away. I'm sure no one will have heard it but it's on you tube so check it out. One day is also another song of theirs that fits.

Waiting now

Dawn says almost everything
Passing in front of you and me
Disguised as a memory
We’re all guilty and under the influence - of gravity
But I’m so partial to those moments with you
Oh, I’m so partial to those moments with you

Oh-woah…
Oh-woah…

I’ve bathed in our own lament
When we were flashing in front of my eyes
And I and I and me are my own worst enemies
But I hope you’ll see the best of us in time

[Chorus]
I’m waitin’ now for this cause to take effect
I’m waitin’ now - I am
And though you’re standing up high on this precipice
I’m waitin’ now - I am
Waitin’ now
I am
I am

Oh, I’ll kneel before my, before my detriment
Before my stomach starts churning both inside and out
I’ve been broken down before (ah, ah, ah)
And this apartment is still a mess (ah, ah, ah)

I’m waitin’ now for this cause to take effect
Waitin’ now - I am
And though you’re standing up high on this precipice
I’ll wait for you - oh, I am
I’m waitin’ now
Oh… I am

[Music]

Woah… woah…
I’m
Woah… woah…

I’m waitin’ now
I’m waitin’ now
Waitin’ now - I am
And though we’re standing up high on this precipice
I’ll wait for you - ‘cause I am
I’m waitin’ now
Oh… I am
I am
I am
I am

This one reminds me of our roomies too:

"A Lonely September", Plain White T's:

I'm sittin' here all by myself
just tryin' to think of something to do
Tryin' to think of something, anything
just to keep me from thinking of you
But you know it's not working out
'cause you're all that's on my mind
One thought of you is all it takes
to leave the rest of the world behind

Well I didn't mean for this to go as far as it did
And I didn't mean to get so close and share what we did
And I didn't mean to fall in love, but I did
And you didn't mean to love me back, but I know you did

I'm sittin' here tryin' to convince myself
that you're not the one for me
But the more I think, the less I believe it
and the more I want you here with me
You know the holidays are coming up
I don't want to spend them alone
Memories of Christmas time with you
will just kill me if I'm on my own

Well I didn't mean for this to go as far as it did
And I didn't mean to get so close and share what we did
And I didn't mean to fall in love, but I did
And you didn't mean to love me back

I know it's not the smartest thing to do
we just can't seem to get it right
But what I wouldn't give to have one more chance tonight
One more chance tonight

I'm sittin' here tryin' to entertain myself with this old guitar
But with all my inspiration gone it's not getting me very far
I look around my room and everything I see reminds me of you
Oh please, baby won't you take my hand
we've got nothing left to prove

Well I didn't mean for this to go as far as it did
And I didn't mean to get so close and share what we did
And I didn't mean to fall in love, but I did
And you didn't mean to love me back, but I know you did

And I didn't mean to meet you then
we were just kids
And I didn't mean to give you chills
the way that I kiss
And I didn't mean to fall in love, but I did
And you didn't mean to love me back but I know you did
Don't say you didn't love me back 'cause you know you did
No, you didn't mean to love me back
But you did

Hey I was just sitting around listening to one of my favorite songs and just thought about how PERFECTLY it fits to Reela!!! Here it is:


Sorry by Buckcherry


Oh I had a lot to say, was thinking on my time away
I missed you and things weren't the same
'Cause everything inside it never comes out right
And when I see you cry, it makes me want to die

I'm sorry, I'm bad, I'm sorry, I'm blue
I'm sorry about all things I said to you
And I know, I can't take it back
I love how you kiss, I love all your sounds
And baby, the way you make my world go round
And I just wanted to say, I'm sorry

This time I think, I'm to blame
It's harder to get through the days
You get older and blame turns to shame
'Cause everything inside it never comes out right
And when I see you cry, it makes me want to die

I'm sorry, I'm bad, I'm sorry, I'm blue
I'm sorry about all things I said to you
And I know, I can't take it back
I love how you kiss, I love all your sounds
And baby, the way you make my world go round
And I just wanted to say, I'm sorry

Every single day, I think about how we came all this way
The sleepless nights and the tears you cried
It's never too late to make it right
Oh yeah, sorry

I'm sorry, I'm bad, I'm sorry, I'm blue
I'm sorry about all things I said to you
And I know, I can't take it back
I love how you kiss, I love all your sounds
And baby, the way you make my world go round
And I just wanted to say, I'm sorry

I'm sorry, baby
I'm sorry, baby
I'm sorry


It's bittersweet but it most definitely fits to this couple!

I wondered where this thread was hiding... Don't really agree with most of the songs listed thus far, but that's most likely because i'm quite picky when it comes to music... not that these choices are any better...

- untouched by the veronicas (don't know why but it just makes me think of the roomies, maybe when neela finally realises how much she wants/needs ray in her life? and how little they physically touched throughout their friendship?)
- electric feel by mgmt (quite a sexy song, describing the tension between them)
-playground love by Air (everyone must here this song, it is freakingly good and quite sexy)....

I know about to show my age here but I was listening to a CD by country group Alabama, whose music I have loved since I was six years old. One of their first hits in 1980 was a song called 'Why, Lady, Why,' After listening to it and looking up the lyrics, hearing it made me think of Ray and how he could have felt about Neela from the time he started to fall for her up to now.

Here's the lyrics:

Why, lady, why, can't I leave you alone?
I try, lady, try, but the feeling's too strong.
You stay on my mind. Feel just like a fool.
Why, lady, why, can't I get over you?

Why, lady, why? It was easy before.
I try, lady, try, but it ain't easy no more.
To be on my way would be the best thing to do.
Why, lady, why, can't I get over you?

Why, lady, why, can't I leave you alone?
I try, lady, try, but the feeling's too strong.
To be on my way would be the best thing to do.
Why, lady, why, can't I get over you?

"Don't Speak" by No Doubt (especially as Ray's POV after Neela moved out)

You and me
We used to be together
Everyday together always
I really feel
That I'm losing my best friend
I can't believe
This could be the end
It looks as though you're letting go
And if it's real
Well I don't want to know

Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me cause it hurts
Don't speak
I know what you're thinking
I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me cause it hurts

It's all ending
I gotta stop pretending who we are...
You and me I can see us dying...are we?

************
"Can't Stop" by Ozomatli (this is the song that played during the Ray/Gates fight scene in 'I Don't', but I feel it was used there as a sign that despite the way things ended in S.13, there will be a happy ending for our Roomies.)

So you feel you can't go on
(that) you got nothin' left to lose
There is no one left to love
(that) you got nuthin' left to choose

Can't live for yesterday
Cuz we gotta move on in a different way
Today is another day
Can't stop now today is another day

CHORUS:
Can't stop this love, can't stop
we're movin'
Can't stop this love
got to keep movin'
we got faith in what love can do

don't look back we're gonna make it through
can't stop now, got to keep movin'

You feel you got nowhere to run
There is nothing we can't do
You have so much left to love
In the end there's always me and you...

I was listening to the radio the other day and I heard this song that reminded me of our dear roomies. I finally found the lyrics. It's by Jason Mraz it's called 'Lucky'........


Lucky


Do you hear me? I'm talking to you
Across the water across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky, oh my, baby I'm trying


Boy I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard


I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Ooh Ooh Ooh


They don't know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Everytime we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
I'll wait for you I promise you, I will


I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again


Lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday


And so I'm sailing through the sea
To an island where we'll meet
You'll hear the music fill the air
I'll put a flower in your hair


Through the breezes through the trees
Move so pretty you're all I see
As the world keeps spinning 'round
You hold me right here, right now


I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again


I'm lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday


Ooh Ooh Ooh
Ooh Ooh Ooh, Ooh

The lyrics you all have provided are awseome and spell out our roomies to a T!

Hi. First post and all (good timing, right?), but I discovered this song and could not resist putting it on here. Just listening to the lyrics brought back flashes of Reela history. It has a Crystal Village vibe to it as well.

Best Friends - The Perishers

I remember your mouth,
what it said,
how it kissed me,
And how it was burdened,
not like anyone else
And I remember your feet,
I saw them dance to the new beat
And When I asked you to,
they walked a mile in my shoes.

We were best friends,
more than best friends
Let's do it all again

I remember your hands,
I heard them clap for my encore
Felt them pull me back,
As I tried to break loose
And I remember your eyes,
How they saw right through me
And how that made me feel...
so sick and bored with myself.

We were best friends,
more than best friends
Let's do it all again
We were best friends,
more than best friends
Let's do it all again

Now I know that I loved her
and I wish I had told her
But I was too slow it was already over
yeah I was too slow it was already over.

Let's do it all again
Let's do it all again
Let's do it all again

Another song that sort of sung out like a revelation when I put my ipod on shuffle. It did remind me of the more recent events in this storyline. The whole song generally fits, but there are certain lines...

First Day of My Life - Bright Eyes

This is the first day of my life
I swear I was born right in the doorway
I went out in the rain suddenly everything changed
They're spreading blankets on the beach

Yours is the first face that I saw
I think I was blind before I met you
Now I don’t know where I am
I don’t know where I’ve been
But I know where I want to go

And so I thought I’d let you know
That these things take forever
I especially am slow
But I realize that I need you
And I wondered if I could come home

Remember the time you drove all night
Just to meet me in the morning
And I thought it was strange you said everything changed
You felt as if you'd just woke up
And you said “this is the first day of my life
I’m glad I didn’t die before I met you
But now I don’t care I could go anywhere with you
And I’d probably be happy”

So if you want to be with me
With these things there’s no telling
We just have to wait and see
But I’d rather be working for a paycheck
Than waiting to win the lottery
Besides maybe this time is different
I mean I really think you like me

Hey everyone,

it's been a while, but i used to really enjoy this thread, so i thought i'd come back to it because the other day i was going through some of the stuff i hadn't listened to for a while on my ipod, and for some reason the lyrics to this song really reminded me of reela, so here it is, just for the sake of it !!

Sum 41 - With Me


I don't want this moment to ever end
Where everythings nothing without you
I'll wait here forever just to, to see you smile
'Cause it's true, I am nothing without you

Through it all, I made my mistakes
I stumble and fall, but I mean these words

I want you to know
With everything I won't let this go, these words are my heart and soul
I'll hold on to this moment you know, 'cause I'd bleed my heart out to show
And I won't let go

Thoughts read unspoken, forever in doubt
Pieces of memories fall to the ground
I know what I didn't have so, I won't let this go
'Cause it's true, I am nothing without you

All the streets where I walked alone, with nowhere to go
Have come to an end

I want you to know
With everything I won't let this go, these words are my heart and soul
I'll hold on to this moment you know, 'cause I'd bleed my heart out to show
And I won't let go

In front of your eyes, it falls from the skies
When you don't know what you're looking to find
In front of your eyes, it falls from the skies
When you just never know what you will find (what you will find)

I don't want this moment to ever end
Where everythings nothing without you

I want you to know
With everything I won't let this go, these words are my heart and soul
I'll hold on to this moment you know, 'cause I'd bleed my heart out to show
And I won't let go (I want you to know)
With everything I won't let this go, these words are my heart and soul
I'll hold on to this moment you know, 'cause I'd bleed my heart out to show
And I won't let go

Thanks Caro for stopping by!! Love the lyrics!!
