The Best Sara/Grissom Songs #2

Ok, this is an obvious one for Grissom's POV :):

Sara Smile
by Daryl Hall and John Oates

Baby hair with a woman's eyes
I can feel you watching in the night
All alone with me and
we're waiting for the sunlight
When I feel cold you warm me
When I feel I can't go on
you come and hold me
It's you and me forever

Sara smile
Won't you smile a while for me, Sara

If you feel like leaving
you know you can go
But why don't you stay until tomorrow
And if you want to be free
you know all you have to do is say so
When you feel cold I'll warm you
And when you feel you can't go on
I'll come and hold you
It's you and me forever

Sara smile
Won't you smile a while for me, Sara
Sara smile
Smile a while for me, Sara

Smile
Oh won't you smile a while for me, Sara
Smile
Smile a while for me, Sara


A nice version here:

You can't have a good playlist without some Dave Matthews. Here's one for GSR:

Where Are You Going
by Dave Matthews

Where are you going with your long face pulling down?
Don't hide away, like an ocean, that you can't see but you can smell
And the sound of waves crash down.

I am no superman.
I have no reasons for you.
I am no hero, aww that's for sure.
But I do know one thing:
That's where you are, is where I belong.
I do know where you go, is where I wanna be.

Where are you going?
Where do you go?
Are you lookin' for answers to questions under the stars?
If along the way you are growin' weary, you can rest with me
Until a brighter day and you're ok.

I am no superman.
I have no answers for you.
I am no hero, aww that's for sure.
But I do know one thing:
Where you are, is where I belong.
I do know where you go, is where I wanna be.

Where are you going?
Where do you go?
Where are you going?
Where do you go?

I am no superman.
I have no answers for you.
I am no hero, aww that's for sure.
But I do know one thing:
That's where you are, is where I belong.
I do know where you go, is where I wanna be.


Where are you going?
Where?
Well, let's go.

Another beautiful, sad song that fits burned-out season 8 Sara, to Grissom:

Things I Never Needed
by Grace Potter and the Nocturnals

Take a long hard look at my face
Take away the things I can't replace
Take my heart, go on, take it away
I've got nothing to say

Take away this sense of regret
Take the things I need to forget
Take the mistakes I haven't made yet
They're all I have left

I don't want to be the one who lets you down
All I did was run myself around
I wish I could have seen through your eyes
Maybe then I would have realized
I'm the only one who's bleeding
For the things I never needed
Things I never needed

Take a good long look at yourself
Take the weight off everyone else
Take the hardest blow that was dealt
It's all on your shoulders

I don't want to be the one who lets you down
All I did was run myself around
I wish I could have seen through your eyes
Maybe then I would have realized
I'm the only one who's bleeding
For the things I never needed
Things I never needed

I don't want to be the one who lets you down
All I did was run myself around
I wish I could have seen through your eyes
Maybe then I would have realized
I'm the only one who's bleeding
For the things I never needed
Things I never needed

This one is a few years old, but it's a beautiful song and I think it's perfect for Sara and Grissom now:

Chasing Cars
by Snow Patrol

We'll do it all
Everything
On our own

We don't need
Anything
Or anyone

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel

Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads

I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we’re told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see

I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Finally thought of one, haven't been able to lately

I often think of Grissom when I hear this one :)

Hard To Love by Lee Brice

I am insensitive I have a tendency to pay more attention to the things that
I need.
Sometimes I drink to much, sometimes I test your trust, sometimes I dunno
Why you're staying with me?

I'm hard to love, hard to love, I don't make it easy, I couldn't do it if I
Stood where you stood
I'm hard to love, hard to love, you say that you need me, I don't deserve
It but I love that you love me. goood

I am a short fuse, I am a wrecking ball crashing into your heart like I do
You're like a Sunday morning full of grace and full of Jesus I wish that I
Could be more like you.

I'm hard to love, hard to love, I don't make it easy, I couldn't do it if I
Stood where you stood,
I'm hard to love, hard to love, you say that you need me, I don't deserve
It but I love that you love me. Goood
Love me good

Girl you've given me a million second chances and I don't ever wanna take
You for granted, I'm just a man, I'm just a man

Hard to love, hard to love, oh I don't make it easy and I couldn't do it if
I stood where you stood.
I'm hard to love, hard to love and you say that you need me, I don't
Deserve it but I love that you love me. good. (x2)

You love me good.
 
This is a Grissom POV song, and I am directing it to the CSI writers: please bring Gil home to Sara this season.

Home
by Michael Buble

Another summer day
Has come and gone away
In Paris and Rome
But I wanna go home
Mmmmmmmm

May be surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
I just wanna go home
Oh, I miss you, you know

And I’ve been keeping all the letters that I wrote to you
Each one a line or two
“I’m fine baby, how are you?”
Well I would send them but I know that it’s just not enough
My words were cold and flat
And you deserve more than that

Another aeroplane
Another sunny place
I’m lucky, I know
But I wanna go home
Mmmm, I’ve got to go home

Let me go home
I’m just too far from where you are
I wanna come home

And I feel just like I’m living someone else’s life
It’s like I just stepped outside
When everything was going right
And I know just why you could not
Come along with me
'Cause this was not your dream
But you always believed in me

Another winter day has come
And gone away
In even Paris and Rome
And I wanna go home
Let me go home

And I’m surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
Oh, let me go home
Oh, I miss you, you know

Let me go home
I’ve had my run
Baby, I’m done
I gotta go home
Let me go home
It will all be all right
I’ll be home tonight
I’m coming back home

Continuing the 'home' theme, this is a beautiful song for Sara's POV (I suppose it would also fit Grissom in season 8). Either way, they're each other's 'home':

Come Home
by Ryan Adams


You built this house
Built it stone by stone
Hammer in your hand
You built this home
This house is strong
You raised it with your love
A shelter from the winds
From the cold and dark

Nobody has to cry
To make it seem real
Nobody has to hide
The way that they feel
If you'll stay right here
Tomorrow you'll be fine
I will be here for you
Standing by your side
So come home
Come home

You built those walls
To hide your fears inside
We were younger then
It's safe now to come outside
We built this home
On this little piece of land
The sky above is dark
No rain comes in

Nobody has to cry
To make it seem real
Nobody has to hide
The way that they feel
If you'll stay right here
Tomorrow you'll be fine
I will be here for you
Standing by your side
So come home
Come home

As the storm grows stronger deeper and wide
My face a winding river with no riverside
As the years grow longer I will be here by your side
Ashes to dust and storm by storm
Forever I will always be your love

Nobody has to cry
To make it seem real
Nobody has to hide
The way that they feel
If you'll stay right here
Tomorrow you'll be fine
I will be here for you
Standing by your side
So come home
Come home
Come home
Come home

Another Ryan Adams song; this one is Grissom's POV:

I Love You But I Don't Know What To Say
by Ryan Adams

We belong here, we belong here
Ain’t nobody that can tell us we’re wrong
Hear me say, say this to you
I’ll stand by your side, to see you through

I promise you that I’ll keep you safe from harm
I’ll love you all the rest of my days
When the night is silent and we seem so far away
Oh I love you but I don’t know what to say

I was lost, I was lost
Tried to find the balance, got caught up in the cost
Let it go, when I met you
All the clouds parted, all that light came shining through

I promise you I will keep you safe from harm
And love you all the rest of my days
When the night is silent and we seem so far away
Oh I love you and I don’t know what to say

I promise you that I will keep you safe from harm
And love you all the rest of my days
When the night is silent and we seem so far away
Oh I love you and I don’t know what to say
Oh I love you and I don’t know what to say

I think the lyrics speak for themselves: "All we are is everything that's right."
I'm calling this Grissom's POV:

All We Are
by One Republic

Tried to paint you a picture, the colors were all wrong
Black and white didn't fit you and all along
You were shaded with patience, your strokes of everything
That I need just to make it and I can see that

Lord knows I've failed you time and again
But you and me are alright​

We won't say our goodbyes
You know it's better that way
We won't break, we won't die
It's just a moment of change
All we are, all we are
Is everything that's right
All we need, all we need
A lover's alibi​

I walked a minute in your shoes, they never would've fit
I figured there's nothing to lose, I need to get
Some perspective on these words before I write them down
You're an island and my ship has run aground​

Lord knows I fail you time and again
But you and me, we're alright​

We won't say our goodbyes
You know it's better that way
We won't break, we won't die
It's just a moment of change
All we are, all we are
Is everything that's right
All we need, all we need
A lover's alibi​

Every single day that I can breathe
You change my philosophy
I'm never gonna let you pass me by​

So don't say your goodbyes
You know it's better that way
We won't break, we won't die
It's just a moment of change​

So don't say your goodbyes
You know it's better that way
We won't break, we won't die
It's just a moment of change
All we are, all we are
Is everything that's right
All we need, all we need
A lover's alibi​

We won't say our goodbyes
You know it's better that way
We won't break, we won't die
It's just a moment of change​

Some nice Keith Urban for Grissom's POV:

Got It Right This Time
by Keith Urban

She believes in me like I’ve been tryin’ to do
I’m seein’ things I’ve never seen before
Ever since she came into my life
I’ve been a better man

Run run runnin’ I was runnin’ scared
Always lookin’ for a place to leave
I couldn’t seem to find where I belonged
‘Til she took my hand

We can make this work out baby
I know it’s true
I can’t picture myself with no one but you
And I think I got it right this time

All my life I’ve been lookin’ for someone
Who believes in love the way I do
I know I’ve made my share of big mistakes
But girl I promise you

We can make this work out baby
I know it’s true
I can’t picture myself with no one but you
And I think I got it right this time

True believers always find each other
And here we are
I always knew that you were out there
Just waitin’ on me
For me to find my way, find my way to your heart

We can make this work out baby
I know it’s true
I can’t picture myself with no one but you
And I think I got it right this time

Yeah after all the crazy days I made it through
I can’t picture myself with no one but you
And I think I got it right this time

Listening to some new music and heard this beautiful song that reminded me of GSR; especially fits well with Sara's POV in season 8, I think:

Ghosts That We Knew
by Mumford & Sons

You saw my pain, washed out in the rain
Broken glass, saw the blood run from my veins
But you saw no fault, no cracks in my heart
And you knelt beside my hope torn apart
But the ghosts that we knew will flicker from view
And we'll live a long life

So give me hope in the darkness that I will see the light
'Cause oh that gave me such a fright
But I will hold as long as you like
Just promise me we'll be alright

So lead me back
Turn south from that place
And close my eyes from my recent disgrace
'Cause you know my call
And we'll share my all

So give me hope in the darkness that I will see the light
'Cause oh that gave me such a fright
But I will hold as long as you like
Just promise me we'll be alright

But hold me still, bury my heart on the cold
And hold me still, bury my heart next to yours

So give me hope in the darkness that I will see the light
'Cause oh that gave me such a fright
But I will hold on with all of my might
Just promise me we'll be alright

And the ghosts that we knew will flicker from view
And we'll live a long life

You can't have a complete playlist without one from The Boss. This beautiful song works for either Grissom or Sara's POV, but I'm going to call it Grissom's POV post episode 9x10, after they are reunited in Costa Rica:


If I Should Fall Behind
by Bruce Springsteen


We said we'd walk together, baby, come what may
That come the twilight should we lose our way
If as we're walkin' a hand should slip free
I'll wait for you
And should I fall behind
Wait for me

We swore we'd travel, darlin', side by side
We'd help each other stay in stride
But each lover's steps fall so differently
But I'll wait for you
If I should fall behind
Wait for me

Now everyone dreams of a love lasting and true
But you and I know what this world can do
So let's make our steps clear that the other may see
And I'll wait for you
Should I fall behind
Wait for me

Now there's a beautiful river in the valley ahead
There 'neath the oak's bough soon we will be wed
Should we lose each other in the shadow of the evening trees
I'll wait for you
And should I fall behind
Wait for me

I'll wait for you
Should I fall behind
Wait for me

I'll wait for you
Should I fall behind
Wait for me

Yeah, I'll wait for you
Should I fall behind
Wait for me

Another beautiful song from The Boss. This one is also for Grissom in season 9.

Back In Your Arms
by Bruce Springsteen

In my dream our love was lost, I lived by luck and fate
I carried you inside of me, prayed it wouldn't be too late
Now I'm standin' on this empty road where nothin' moves but the wind
And honey I just wanna be back in your arms
Back in your arms again
Back in your arms
Back in your arms again

You said once I was your treasure, and I saw your face in every star
But the promises we make at night, oh that's all they are
Unless we fill them with faith and love, they're empty as the howlin' wind
Now honey I just wanna be back in your arms
Back in your arms again
Back in your arms
Back in your arms again

You came to me with love and kindness
But all my life I've been a prisoner of my own blindness
I met you with indifference and I don't know why

Now I wake from my dream, I wake from my dream to this world
Where all is shadow and darkness and above me a dark sky unfurls
And all the love I've thrown away and lost I'm longin' for again
Now there's nothin' I wouldn't do if I could be back in your arms
Back in your arms again
Back in your arms
Back in your arms again

As we have learned recently on the show, Sara misses Grissom. Whenever I think of a song about someone living far away from the person they love, I think of this beautiful, melancholy Simon & Garfunkel ballad.

Kathy's Song
by Paul Simon

I hear the drizzle of the rain
Like a memory it falls
Soft and warm continuing
Tapping on my roof and walls.

From the shelter of my mind
Through the window of my eyes
I gaze beyond the rain-drenched streets
To a land where my heart lies.

My mind's distracted and diffused
My thoughts are many miles away
They lie with you when you're asleep
And kiss you when you start your day.

Many times I have come to doubt
All that I once held as true
I stand alone without beliefs
The only truth I know is you.

And as I watch the drops of rain
Weave their weary paths and die
I know that I am like the rain
There but for the grace of you go I.


Eva Cassidy's lovely cover of the song:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6WRVzwIg2o&feature=related
 
Two more beautiful, melancholy songs about being apart from the one you love.
These are vintage Carole King (and two of her best, IMO):

So Far Away

So far away
Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore?
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
It doesn't help to know that you're just time away

Long ago I reached for you
And there you stood
Holding you again could only do me good
How I wish I could
But you're so far away

One more song about moving along the highway
Can't say much of anything that's new
If I could only work this life out my way
I'd rather spend it being close to you
But you're so far away

Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore?
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
It doesn't help to know you're so far away
Yeah, you're so far away

Traveling around sure gets me down and lonely
Nothing else to do but close my mind
I sure hope the road don't come to own me
There're so many dreams we've yet to find
But you're so far away

Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore?
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
It doesn't help to know you're so far away
Yeah, you're so far away
You're so far away

Carole with James Taylor:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urt2cy7AqFs


Home Again

Sometimes I wonder if I'm
Ever gonna make it home again.
It's so far and out of sight.
I really need someone to talk to
And nobody else
Knows how to comfort me tonight.

Snow is cold; rain is wet.
Chills my soul right to the marrow.

I won't be happy 'til I see
You alone again.
'Til I'm home again and feelin' right.

Snow is cold; rain is wet.
Chills my soul right to the marrow.

I won't be happy 'til I see
You alone again.
'Til I'm home again and feelin' right.
'Til I'm home again and feelin' right.
I wanna be home again and feelin' right.
