Useful Josh Groban songs - ordnance11 - 08-14-2007
Lullaby
Hush now baby don't you cry
Rest your wings my butterfly
Peace will come to you in time
And I will sing this lullaby
Know though I must leave my child
That I would stay here by your side
And if you wake before I'm gone
Remember this sweet lullaby
And oh, through darkness, don't you ever stop believing
With love alone, with love you will find your way
My love
The world has turned the day to dark
I leave this night with heavy heart
When I return to dry your eyes
I will sing this lullaby
Yes I will sing this lullaby
Josh Groban-Awake Album
My first thought is that of an area "go to sleep" effect for everyone around Doug. However, I wouldn't recommend playing this in the Potter step with Harry around. Especially on Hallows Eve. It just might bring back the ghost of Lilly Potter back.
Weeping
I knew a man who lived in fear.
It was huge, it was angry, it was drawing near.
Behind his house, a secret place
Was the shadow of the demon he could never face.
He built a wall of steel and flame
And men with guns, to keep it tame.
Then, standing back, he made it plain
That the nightmare would never ever rise again.
But the fear and the fire and the guns remained.
It doesn't matter now.
It's over anyhow.
He tells the world that it's sleeping.
But as the night came 'round
I heard it's lonely sound.
It wasn't roaring, it was weeping.
And then one day the neighbors came.
They were curious to know about the smoke and flame.
They stood around outside the wall,
But of course there was nothing to be heard at all.
"My friends," he said, "we've reached our goal.
The threat is under firm control.
As long as peace and order reign
I'll be damned if I can see a reason to explain,
Why the fear and the fire and the guns remain."
It doesn't matter now.
It's over anyhow.
He tells the world that it's sleeping.
But as the night came 'round
I heard it's lonely sound.
It wasn't roaring, it was weeping.
In normal use, I'd say demon containment/imprisonment, though the effects would only last as long as the song. In the Potter step, it might just detail every shenanigan the Fudge ministry had ever done.
The last one I don't have an idea on it.
In Her Eyes
She stares through my shadow
She sees something more
Believes there's a light in me
She is sure
And her truth makes me stronger
Does she realize
I awake every morning
With her strength by my side
I am not a hero
I am not an angel
I am just a man
A man who's trying to love her
Unlike any other
In her eyes, I am
This world keeps on spinning
Only she stills my heart
She's my inspiration
She's my northern star
I don't count my possessions
But all I call mine
I will give her completely
'Til the end of all time
I am not a hero
I am not an angel
I am just a man
A man who's trying to love her
Unlike any other
In her eyes, I am
In her eyes I see the sky
And all I'll ever need
In her eyes time passes by
And she is with me
I am not a hero
I am not an angel
I am just a man
A man who's trying to love her
Unlike any other
In her eyes, I am
In her eyes, I am
When I first heard this I thought it could be used in a Sailor Moon step- Mamoru and Usagi's relationship. But I think it could be used better in the OMB step. The song describes K1's relationship with Belldandy from his POV to a tee. What's interesting is that the refrain is sung with a staccato beat. If you change "angel" to "Angel", it might sound snarky.

I've heard of Josh Groban, but I don't think I've ever heard him...
Quote:And this would be automatically bad how?
It just might bring back the ghost of Lilly Potter back.
Quote:Attractive ideas, both of them, but somehow the lyrics hint at something subtler to me. Don't know what, yet -- it's on the edges of my mind and refusing to come forward. Let me think on it.

Quote:Actually, my personal "K1-Belldandy" song is the Monkees' "I'm A Believer", but yeah, that's workable. Funny thing is, reading this, I was thinking of Doug and Maggie -- well, until I got to "In her eyes". (Yeah, I know it's metaphorical. But in Doug's presence, metaphor has an uncomfortable tendency to become literal.)
