Lobsters: Ross & Rach mix

"It's a known fact that lobsters fall in love and mate for life. You know what, you can actually see old lobster couples walkin' around their tank, ya know, holding claws"

"I don't want to be single... I just want to be married again"
Rachel enters wearing a wedding dress
"And I just want a million dollars"

Brighter than Sunshine ||| Aqualung
Tied up in ancient history 
I didn't believe in destiny 
I look up you're standing next to me 
What a feeling

"Back in high school, I had a, um, major crush on you"

First Love is Forever ||| The Hourly Radio
A memory returns, lying on a bridge prostrate
Where in your eyes I realized the stars held their place.

"I could not have done this without you"
Rachel kisses Ross after she does her laundry for the first time.

Meant Something to Me ||| Tyler Hilton
Well a kiss might be just a kiss to you
But baby it meant something to me

"I can't believe he did this."
"Come on, Ross? Remember back in college, when he fell in love with Carol and bought her that ridiculously expensive crystal duck?"

It's Tough To Have A Crush ||| Ok Go
Well it's tough to have a crush
When your best friend breaks the news

"How did this happen to me? How did this happen to me? A week ago, two weeks ago, I was fine. Ross was just Ross, just this guy. Now he's Rrrooossss, oh, this really great guy that I can't have."

Can't Seem to Make You Mine ||| Garbage
I try everything I know
To make you wanna love me so

"Imagine the worst things you think about yourself. Now, how would you feel if the one person that you trusted the most in the world not only thinks them too, but actually uses them as reasons not to be with you?"

Love's A Game ||| The Magic Numbers
Love is just a game
Broken all the same
And I will get over you

"See? He's her lobster!"

Gravity ||| Embrace
And then I looked up at the sun and I could see
All the way that gravity turns on you and me
And then I looked up at the sun and saw the sky
And the way that gravity pulls on you and I, on you and I

"You're worth the wait. And I don't mean just tonight"

At My Most Beautiful ||| REM
At my most beautiful
I count your eyelashes, secretly
With every one, whisper I love you

"Yeah, well excuse me for wanting to be with my girlfriend on our anniversary, boy what an ass am I."
"But I told you, I didn’t have the time!"
"Yeah, well you never have the time. I mean, I don’t feel like I even have a girlfriend anymore, Rachel."
"Wh, Ross what do you want from me? You want me, you want me to quit my job so you can feel like you have a girlfriend?"
"No, but it’d be nice if you realised, it’s just a job!"

Never Comes the Day ||| Moody Blues
Work away today, work away tomorrow.
Never comes the day for my love and me.

"This can't be it"
"Then how come it is?"

I Need You ||| Os Britos
Oh yes, you told me, you don't want my lovin' anymore.
That's when it hurt me. 
And feeling like this, I just can't go on anymore.

"Well, oh, Mark, I’m doing this for the wrong reasons, y'know? I’m just doing it to get back at Ross. I’m sorry, it’s not very fair to you."

Say You Miss Me ||| Wilco
I've been sleepin' alone, out on my own
I'm sure it seems like I'm takin' my time to get back to you
You been doin' your part, working real hard
I'm not lying, sure it seems like I'm trying to get back at you

"Ross, I still can’t forgive you for what you did, I can’t, I just, but sometimes when I’m with you I just, I feel so..."

Honestly ||| Bethany Joy Lenz
Honestly I didn’t mean to laugh so loud but it just sounds so absurd to say that you want me
Say that you need me after everything you’ve done
Really truly I didn’t mean to hurt you I just thought that maybe now
We’d have better luck the second time around

"I can't believe I even thought of getting back together with you. We're so over!"

Best I Ever Had ||| Vertical Horizon
But it's not so bad
You're only the best I ever had
You don't want me back
You're just the best I ever had

"Phoebe, I’m not going to Ross’s wedding because he is my ex-boyfriend and that would be really uncomfortable. Not because, I’m still in love with him! I mean, hey, y’know, I like Ross as much as the next guy, y’know? Clearly I have feelings for him, but feelings don’t mean love! I mean, I still have loving feelings for Ross. Yeah! But, I have, I have continuing feelings of love, but that doesn’t mean that-that I’m still in love with him. Y’know? I-I have sexual feelings for him, but I do love him—Ohh! Oh my God! Oh my—why didn’t you tell me?!!"

Be Be Your Love ||| Rachel Yamagata
Everybody's talking how I, can't, can't be your love
But I want, want, want to be your love
Want to be your love, for real

"All right, Rachel, I know-I know you think I'm crazy, please, before you tell him you love him, just-just try to find one person who thinks this is a good idea. Because I bet you, you can't."

Sway ||| The Perishers
Are we back now where it all began
Have you finally forgiven me?

"I mean, look I don’t know if anything is going to happen with us, again. Ever. But I don’t want to know that it-it never could."

Hey Jealousy ||| Gin Blossoms
Tomorrow we can drive around this town
And let the cops chase us around
The past is gone but something might be found
To take it’s place

"I am not horsing around, okay? I am Porsching around."

These Are The Days Of Our Lives ||| Queen
You can’t turn back the clock, you can’t turn back the tide
Ain’t that a shame
I’d like to go back one time on a roller coaster ride
When life was just a game

"Uh, Ross and Rachel. Rachel and Ross. That’s been one heck of a see-saw hasn’t it?"

Long Time Coming ||| Oliver James
And now I know
What I've been waiting for
And like a lonely highway
I'm trying to get home

"We’re having a baby"

This Unavoidable Thing Between Us ||| Evermore
The night is long today, my love for you has changed
The night is long today, a hope has been replaced
All the steps we take, the ones we lead away, a little
When we walk away, we only grow more near
When we turn away, it all becomes so clear
This unavoidable thing, joining us

"Just so you know... With us... it's never off the table."

I Try ||| Macy Gray
I try to say goodbye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not near

"It is too damn hard, Ross. I can't even begin to explain to you how much I'm gonna miss you. When I think about not seeing you every day, it makes me not want to go... Okay, so if you think that I didn't say goodbye to you because you don't mean as much to me as everybody else, you're wrong. It's because you mean more to me. So there, all right, there's your goodbye..."

Best Thing ||| Graham Colton
Your plane is taking off into thin air
But you stayed behind

"You got off the plane"

Awwww! This was sooooooo sweet. I LOVE the use of quotes after each song. I didn't download the whole thing because I'm on my moms computer but I did separately download "tough to have a crush" "meant something to me" and "Best thing" because they just seemed extra sweet.

[identity profile] not-last-resort.livejournal.com 2006-05-09 03:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh and "Best I ever had" is BEAUTIFUL, and I have it already and now I'll think of them whenever I hear it!

Wow, I absolutely love it. I've been listening to the fanmix all day, I think we all have a "Ross" or a "Rachel" that we can relate these songs and icons to. Beautiful work, all of it. I hope to see a lot more from you ♥

That is *awesome*. You clearly put a lot of thought and hard work into it, and I love all your music choices. Granted, I haven't heard all of the songs, but the lyrics you provided practically scream Ross and Rachel, and I love the quotes that show why you chose that song.

I'm downloading the zip file, and taking # 1 of the cover icons and a great deal of the lyric icons. Will credit you when I use them, of course.

Are you planning on doing a Monica/Chandler one, or other friendship ones (such as Chan/Joey, Phoebe/Joey)?

[identity profile] unfloopy.livejournal.com 2006-05-15 01:14 pm (UTC)(link)
That's what I was going for. Songs that screamed Ross&Rachel to me. In the lyrics, obviously, but somehow in the melody as well. I hope that people feels the same about it. :)

As far as another mix goes, I'm thinking I might at some point do a general Friends one. I have no idea when, though. And I'm gathering songs for a Phoebe fanmix. But it's gonna be totally different, because I'm not gonna tell a history, like the R&R one. It's gonna be more about Phoebe herself and the way I think she sees the world. That might be fun.

I'm also working on stuff on other fandoms (mostly Everwood and Veronica Mars).

Had to put it in my memories, 'cause I'm still using my brother's computer :( But hey, you know what's funny? I was considering doing a R&R fanmix myself and we have a few songs in common, lol! ;)
I'll download it once I get my own computer, then I'll let you know, OK? ;)

This is AMAZING. Love the music you used, and how well it fits each moment. Definately saving/burning onto a CD. I love your screenname, too.

Saving to my memories!

[identity profile] macaroni1213.livejournal.com 2006-06-24 07:12 am (UTC)(link)
Also, do you mind if sometime this summer I create a little booklet with the songs and pictures for the corresponding moments?
