Songs for the Characters

Got a great one for all the LV characters.
Las Vegas by Tony Christie

Chorus
Hey Las Vegas
Can nothing save us
From you
Night after night
Watching the wheel go round
Hey Las Vegas
The devil gave us
To you
One of these days
I'm gonna burn ya down
 
I know this has been suggested before, but every time I hear The Scientist by Coldplay i think of GSR...the lyrics just so seem to fit with what I think Grissom would say to Sara if he ever lost his Grissom-ness just for one moment to actually tell her how he feels about her... :mad:

PS. Love Grissom really! His dysfunctional emotional state just frustrates me sometimes :D
 
This is an interesting thread. :D

I have to give Greg "Rock DJ" by Robbie Williams, just for the fact that I can totally see him dancing to this one, and actually have this stray Robbie Williams track on his playlist. Aside from that, there's also Silverchair's "Abuse Me", in particular the chorus lines "Come on, abuse me more, I like it." I think he'd enjoy singing that line out loud.

I'm giving Nicky "Life is a Highway" by Tom Petty, "Tougher than the Rest" by Bruce Springsteen ("Around here baby, I've learned you get what you can get, if you're rough enough for love, Honey I'm tougher than the rest. Well, the road is dark, and it's a thin thin line, but I want you to know I'd walk it for you anytime..."), "The Joker" by The Steve Miller Band ("Some people call me a space cowboy, some call me the gangster of love...") and "If she wants me" by Belle & Sebastian ("If I could do just one near perfect thing I'd be happy...Things fall apart, I don't know why we bother at all But life is good and It's always worth living at least for a while..."). The first two, I can see him playing in the car and singing along. :)

Sara, now, I give her "Least Complicated" by the Indigo Girls, it sounds a lot like her. "Brown Eyed Girl" by Van Morrison and "Absolutely Cuckoo" by The Magnetic Fields also works, the lyrics really capture that magnetism she has:
"Don't fall in love with me yet, We only recently met
True I'm in love with you but you might decide I'm a nut
Give me a week or two to go absolutely cuckoo
Then, when you see your error,
Then, you can flee in terror
Like everybody else does
I only tell you this cause I'm easy to get rid of
but not if you fall in love..." :)

I'll leave everyone else for later. :D
It took a lot out of me to think about this.
 
Hey guys, I just got the new U2 cd, How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb. There is a song one there that is perfect for GSR.

"Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own"

Tough, you think you've got the stuff
You're telling me and anyone
You're hard enough

You don't have to put up a fight
You don't have to always be right
Let me take some of the punches
For you tonight

Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don't have to go it alone

And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you when I don't pick up the phone
Sometimes you can't make it on your own

We fight all the time
You and I...that's alright
We're the same soul
I don't need...I don't need to hear you say
That if we weren't so alike
You'd like me a whole lot more

Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don't have to go it alone

And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you when I don't pick up the phone
Sometimes you can't make it on your own

I know that we don't talk
I'm sick of it all
Can - you - hear - me - when - I -
Sing, you're the reason I sing
You're the reason why the opera is in me...

Where are we now?
I've got to let you know
A house still doesn't make a home
Don't leave me here alone...

And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you that makes it hard to let go
Sometimes you can't make it on your own
Sometimes you can't make it
The best you can do is to fake it
Sometimes you can't make it on your own
 
You listen to Tom Petty, Magnetic Fields, Belle & Sebastian??? You ROCK!!! --- > Why thank you! So do you, if you think I rock already :)!

I have a couple of SNicker songs in my head. Someone in this thread complained about there being too many GSR songs and I willingly remedy that. :D But one at a time. Hehehehe.

There's "We all fall in love sometimes" by Elton John (or the EXCELLENT BEAUTIFUL cover by Jeff Buckley) for these lyrics...
The full moon’s bright and starlight filled the evening. We wrote it and I played it, something happened it’s so strange this feeling. Naive notions that were childish, simple tunes that tried to hide it, but when it comes... We all fall in love sometimes. Did we, didn’t we, should we couldn’t we? I’m not sure `cause sometimes we’re so blind, struggling through the day when even your best friend says 'Don’t you find we all fall in love sometimes'

That's one. :D
 
I have two (more) songs for Grissom, both are by Thrice.
The first one:
"Stare at the Sun"
I sit here clutching useless lists
And keys for doors that don't exist
I crack my teeth on pearls
I tear into the history
Show me what it means to me in this world
Yeah in this world

'Cause I am due for a miracle
I'm waiting for a sign
I'll stare straight into the sun
And I won't close my eyes
Till I understand or go blind

I see the parts but not the whole
I study saints and scholars both
No perfect plan unfurls
Do I trust my heart or just my mind
Why is truth so hard to find in this world
Yeah in this world

'Cause I am due for a miracle
I'm waiting for a sign
I'll stare straight into the sun
And I won't close my eyes
Till I understand or go blind (till I understand or go blind)

I know that there's a point I've missed
A shrine or stone I haven't kissed
A scar that never graced my wrist
A mirror that hasn't met my fist
But I can't help feeling like I'm

Due for a miracle
I'm waiting for a sign (waiting for a sign)
I'll stare straight into the sun
And I won't close my eyes (and I won't close my eyes)

Due for a miracle
I'm waiting for a sign
I'll stare straight into the sun
And I won't close my eyes

and the second one is:

"Don't Tell and We Won't Ask"
paint the target
we don't need no evidence
flood the market
we do it all in self defense
you're a smart kid
never work without your gloves
if you're a smart kid
you'll stay the hell away from love

and if it comes to murder
don't tell and we won't ask you how
you sleep at night when the lights go out
and you're all alone
with all the ghosts of lesser humans
whose lives you've spilt to suit your own

sit and think of
all the dollars and the cents
and your blue blood
you'll see it all makes perfect sense
drink from this cup
a better life awaits us all
you're one of us
remember conscience comes before the fall

your actions all are justified
your actions all are justified

and if it comes to murder
don't tell and we won't ask you how
you sleep at night when the lights go out
and you're all alone
with all the ghosts of lesser humans
whose lives you've spilt to suit your own

cause it's need to know
we are need to know
we don't need to know

don't we all know life is sacred?
don't we all know we bleed the same red blood?


I still think the first one fits him better, but the second one is good for him too.
 
Just recently heard this for GSR from Grissom

When the Heartache Ends by Rob Thomas
It's never easy and you never know
What leaves you crying
And what makes you whole
There ain't no way that I can hold it down
Falling to pieces
Forever in doubt

But it's alright
Why don't you tell me again
How you'll still be there
When the heartache ends
It's alright
Why don't you tell me my friend
How you'll be with me
When the heartache ends

There ain't nobody who can show you how
To find the surface when you're underground
There ain't no blanket that can hide this cold
There ain't no memory
That ever gets old

And I move all directions
To the corners and the outskirts
While the lovers and the lonely
Start to whisper all about me
And if I stand here silent
I almost start to feel you fading in
Telling me hold on
Cuz it's gonna be alright

Say you'll be with me
When the heartache ends
 
I just had another idea for Catherine:

"Man, I Feel Like a Woman" (Shania Twain)
Oh, oh, oh, go totally crazy-forget I'm a lady
Men's shirts-short skirts
Oh, oh, oh, really go wild-yeah, doin' it in style
Oh, oh, oh, get in the action-feel the attraction
Color my hair-do what I dare
Oh, oh, oh, I wanna be free-yeah, to feel the way I feel
Man! I feel like a woman!

The girls need a break-tonight we're gonna take
The chance to get out on the town
We don't need romance-we only wanna dance
We're gonna let our hair hang down

Another GSR song
"Miracle Drug" (U2)
I want to trip inside your head
Spend the day there...
To hear the things you haven't said
And see what you might see

I want to hear you when you call
Do you feel anything at all?
I want to see your thoughts take shape
And walk right out

Freedom has a scent
Like the top of a new born baby's head

The songs are in your eyes
I see them when you smile
I've seen enough I'm not giving up
On a miracle drug

Of science and the human heart
There is no limit
There is no failure here sweetheart
Just when you quit...

I am you and you are mine
Love makes nonsense of space
And time...will disappear
Love and logic keep us clear
Reason is on our side, love...
 
Oh wow! I kept meaning to post this song for Catherine but never got round to it! :lol: Yeah, definitely a good choice for her! :lol:
 
a good one for the csi guys to sing to eckley
is "Good Enough For You" by a British band called Freefaller


FREEFALLER - GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU


You're never proud
I'm not allowed
To make mistakes
I'm always too much
Never enough
I just can't win

I get so confused
Don't know what to do
Maybe I'm just dumb
Because everything I seem to do is wrong

When I try to talk
You shout
Freak out
I feel like I'm going to break
Coz I'm sick of feeling so confused
No matter what I do
I seem to always lose
And it's just no use
Coz all this abuse
Is the only thing I ever seem to get
I'm through
Because nothing's ever good enough for you

I'm trying my best
To make you impressed
But it's no good
You just shoot me down
Push me around
I just can't win

I get so confused
Don't know what to do
Maybe I'm just dumb
Because everything I seem to do is wrong

When I try to talk
You shout
Freak out
I feel like I'm going to break
Coz I'm sick of feeling so confused
No matter what I do
I seem to always lose
And it's just no use
Coz all this abuse
Is the only thing I ever seem to get
I'm through
Because nothing's ever good enough for you

You keep making no sense when you talk
So I'm taking this chance to walk away

Coz I'm sick of feeling so confused
No matter what I do
I seem to always lose
And it's just no use
Coz all this abuse
Is the only thing I ever seem to get
I'm through
Because nothing's ever good enough for you

Nothing's ever good enough for you

Nothing's ever good enough for you
 
Every Girl by Stellar* is a good song for Sara.
Shadowman by K's Choise is a good Grissom song.
Chains of Love by Erasure for Cathrine.

I can think of any good songs for Nick or Warrick, and I don't watch the other CSI's.
