Not technically a chapter, but I needed your guy's opinions. I started writing a different story first, but when I described Sam's wedding in the story I was like, I so need to write another story of this. So basically this story has been leading up to another story, except I changed my mind. The whole reason I wrote this story, is for this coming chapter. The crux, if you will of this story.
I don't really want to ruin the surprise for you, but the last chapter basicalyl gave it away. Anyway Jacob said 'I think you should ask Jack to dance as well.' And I've been looking for the perfect song for pretty much 5 months. I thought I found the perfect one, but I think I found an even better one and I can't decide between the two. So I would appreciate it if you would give me your opinion on which fits better.
The first song I thought would be great is My Immortal by Evanesence. Think of that infamous scene in Affinity for the first two lines. The rest is self-explanatory with Sam moving to the Dreaded NC ™. The chorus: think of the time that Daniel died in Meridian and that Fire and Water one. Think Heroes when Janet died and Threads when Jacob died. Here are the lyrics:
My Immortal Lyrics
I'm
so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And
if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause
your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me
alone
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too
real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
Chorus:
When
you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd
fight away all of your fears
I held your hand through all of these
years
But you still have
All of me
You used to captivate
me
By your resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you left
behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your
voice it chased away
All the sanity in me
These wounds
won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too
much that time cannot erase
Chorus
I've tried
so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still
with me
I've been alone all along
Chorus
This is the second song that I have never actually heard played, but when I heard it sung by two of my best friends at a camp recently I kept on saying over and over again how perfect it was. Not too sure about the second verse but I looked up this site that kind of explained the meaning. And I was nearly crying when I thought about how it fit perfectly with Jack. (Which doesn't count for much since my hormones have been weird lately. I was full on bawling my eyes out in Star Wars.) shrugs Anyway here it is. Let me know what you think.
Verse 1This is the place where
I sit,
This is the part where I love you too much
This is as
hard as it gets
'Cause I'm getting tired of pretending I'm
tough
I'm
here if you want me, I'm yours you can hold me
I'm empty but
taken, yet tumblin' and breakin'
Chorus:
'Cause
you don't see me; And you don't need me
And you don't love
me; The way I wish you would
The way I know you could Verse Two
I dream a world where
you understand
And I dream a million sleepless nights.
I dream
of fire when you're touching my hand,
But it twists into smoke
when I turn on the lights
I'm
speechless and faded; it's too complicated
Is this how the book
ends, nothing but good friends'.
Chorus
This is the place in my heart;
This is the place where
I'm falling apart
Isn't this just where we met?
Is this the last chance that I'll ever get?
I wish I was lonely,
instead of just only
Crystal and see through and not enough to
you'.
Sigh, it's so perfect, but I'm still unsure. Please advise me, this has to be perfect.
I'm thinking of writing a part where it's the two of them dancing, but it's Sam is to Jack so Sam is "thinking back" as the song says. Number One: do you think I should do it? Number Two: Do you think this song is good, or do you think it would be too out of place in this fic? Like it doesn't fit right or something? If so, Number One won't apply because I love this song and if this song is not right, then I won't put it in there. It's from the movie Pearl Harbour and I think that it kind of fits with the whole thing of the story, and it's like the main girl (can't remember her name) singing it or whatever for Josh Hartnett's character. And you know Jack always says stuff like he'll always be there for her and that theme kind of fits in with a later part of the story. So here it is:
Artist:
Faith Hill
Song: There You'll Be
When I think back
On these times
And
the dreams
We left behind
I'll be glad 'cause
I was blessed
to get
To have you in my life
When I look back
On these
days
I'll look and see your face
You were right there for me
CHORUS:
In my dreams
I'll always
see you soar
Above the sky
In my heart
There always be a
place
For you for all my life
I'll keep a part
Of you with
me
And everywhere I am
There you'll be
Well you showed me
How it feels
To
feel the sky
Within my reach
And I always
Will remember
all
The strength you
Gave to me
Your love made me
Make it
through
Oh, I owe so much to you
You were right there for me
Repeat chorus
'Cause I always
saw in you
My light, my strength
And I want to thank you
Now
for all the ways
You were right there for me
You were right
there for me
For always
Repeat chorus
I'm debating wether or not it's too out of context for this story and doesn't fit with mood, even though Sam is grateful and stuff.
So, number 1 song is My Immortal, number 2 You don't See Me and they're the ones you're comparing.
And whether or not I should have There You'll Be.
Anyway thanks in advance for the advice that you give me. I'm really grateful for it. And I'm sure you'll feel good knowing that you've contributed something to this story :D Anyway please review your opinion and thanks for reading this long-winded thing. And thanks for reading my story! It makes me feel good that someone else besides my mum and my sister is reading it!
