Here it is, the first Danny/Rikki song thread! :D I'll start things off with Avril Lavigne and her song, Naked:

I wake up in the morning, put on my face
The one that's gonna get me through another day
Doesn't really matter how I feel inside
This life is like a game sometimes

But then you came around me, the walls just disappeared
Nothing to surround me, and keep me from my fears
I'm unprotected, see how I've opened up
Oh, you've made me trust

'Cause I've never felt like this before
I'm naked, around you, does it show?
You see right through me, and I can't hide
I'm naked, around you
And it feels so right

I'm tyring to remember, why I was afraid
To be myself and let the covers fall away
I guess I never had someone like you,
To help me, to help me fit in my skin

I never felt like this before
I'm naked, around you, does it show?
You see right through me, and I can't hide
I'm naked, around you
And it feels so right

I'm naked
Oh oh yeah
Does it show?
Yeah, I'm naked
Oh oh oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
O-oh
I'm naked around you
Does it show?

I'm so naked around you
And I can't hide
You're gonna, you're gonna see right through
(see right through me and I can't hide)
You're gonna see right through
Oh yeah yeah

I'm so naked around you
And I can't hide
You're gonna see right through, baby
​

I can see Danny saying the above to Rikki. :cool:

Guys, feel free to post the songs posted in the D/R thread here since this is the song thread for the ship now.
 
This is one of my favorite songs its Don't need the sun to shine by Gabrielle. I think its rather appropriate for these two have been through such a lot together.

It's been a while
But your smile
Always brightens up my day
I guess you know
Because it shows
You can see it on my face

Feels like you putt a spell on me
Feels like you captured me
And baby, this is how I feel

Don't need the sun to shine
To make me smile
Don't care if it's dark outside
Cause I got you
And though the rain may fall
No, I won't care at all
Cause baby, I know that I got you

Every day
There's a change
You bring out the best in me
My inner soul
Is what you know
That is how you speak to me

You seem to understand
You know just who I am
And baby, this is how I feel

Don't need the sun to shine
To make me smile
Don't care if it's dark outside
Cause I got you
And though the rain may fall
No, I won't care at all
Cause baby, I know that I got you

Don't need a rocket man to help me touch the sky
Don't need to fly a plane to get this high
Don't need to hitch a ride
When I could run a million miles
Yes, I would, just to see you smile

Don't need the sun to shine
To make me smile
Don't care if it's dark outside
Cause I got you
And though the rain may fall
No, I won't care at all
Cause baby, I know that I got you

I got you, baby, and it feels right
You got me feeling so good and so bright
Feel like I could touch the sky
So good inside
 
WHHOO HOOO new song thread :beer: :thumbsup:

Here is one for the both of them...

Sweet Surrender by Sarah McLachlan


it doesn't mean much
it doesn't mean anything at all
the life I've left behind me
is a cold room
I've crossed the last line
from where I can't return
where every step I took in faith
betrayed me
and led me from my home

and sweet
sweet surrender
is all that I have to give

you take me in
no questions asked
you strip away the ugliness
that surrounds me
are you an angel
am I already that gone
I only hope
that I won't disappoint you
when I'm down here
on my knees

and sweet
sweet
sweet surrender
is all that I have to give

sweet
sweet
sweet surrender
is all that I have to give

and I don't understand
by the touch of your hand
I would be the one to fall

I miss the little things
oh I miss everything

it doesn't mean much
it doesn't mean anything at all
the life I left behind me
is a cold room
 
Oh man, I love Gabrielle's Don't Need the Sun to Shine! :D :D :D What a coincidence I've been listening to it a lot lately so it's very nice to see it appear here! GMTA and all that. My favorite lines regarding Danny/Rikki has to be:

It's been a while
But your smile
Always brightens up my day
I guess you know
Because it shows
You can see it on my face

She did mention smiling at him often. ;) :) I can totally see Danny feeling like the above, especially when he sees Rikki again. There's also:

You bring out the best in me
My inner soul
Is what you know
That is how you speak to me

You seem to understand
You know just who I am
Click to expand...
Rikki really does seem to bring out a very loving, affectionate and sweet side of Danny. Whenever there's something concerning her, it's like she's at the forefront of his mind and everything else takes a backdrop. Moreover, you can see how comfortable and at ease he is around her. He wouldn't be like that at all if he didn't trust her implicitly and care deeply for her.

Sweet Surrender by Sarah McLachlan is a beautiful song too. :D

you take me in
no questions asked
you strip away the ugliness
that surrounds me
are you an angel
am I already that gone
I only hope
that I won't disappoint you
when I'm down here
on my knees

These lines are beautiful. Indeed, Rikki forgave him and even told him in person to not blame himself for her son's passing, no questions asked or conditions expected. Danny sleeping with her was of his own choice, just like it was her choice to sleep with him too. And ya know, Rikki is sort of like an angel; not perfect and capable of falling now and then, but damn close to one. It takes incredible strength and character to forgive and let go like she did.

Here's a song by Natalie Cole called A Smile Like Yours:

Hmm, thought I'd seen everything there was to see in this world

Now I'm not so sure I've really seen anything at all

I thought life could show me no surprises

And then you came and showed me I was wrong

I have seen the bluest skies, rainbows that would make you cry

I have seen miracles that moved my soul, days that changed my life

I have seen the brightest stars shine like diamonds in the dark

Seen all the wonders of the world, but I've never seen a smile

As beautiful as yours, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh, I thought I'd been everywhere

I've climbed a mountain so high, sailed the sea, crossed the sky

And still I was nowhere at all, until that day, oh, you came to my senses

And your smile, it made sense out of it all, (I have seen the bluest skies)

Rainbows that would make you cry, I have seen miracles

(Miracles that moved me soul) that moved my soul, days that changed my life,

I have seen the brightest stars shine like diamonds in the dark

Seen all the wonders of the world, but I've never seen a smile as beautiful as yours

(Smile so beautiful) So beautiful, comes one time in a lifetime

A smile this beautiful, (a smile this beautiful) I've never dreamed I'd ever see, oh

(I have seen the bluest skies) I have seen it, (Rainbows that would make you cry)

That would make you cry, I've seen miracles (miracles) moved my soul,

(days that changed my life) and days that changed my life

I have seen the brightest stars shine like diamonds in the dark

Oh, I've seen the wonders of this world (wonders of the world)

But I've never seen a smile (never seen a smile before as beautiful as yours)

Oh, I've never seen a smile before, (never seen a smile before as beautiful)

As beautiful as yours.

Since there is an 'official' song thread now.... I'll post the songs I had in the Danny/Rikki thread here




Iris by The Goo Goo Dolls

And Id give up forever to touch you
cause I know that you feel me somehow
Youre the closest to heaven that ill
Ever be
And I dont want to go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
cause sooner or later its over
I just dont want to miss you tonight

And I dont want the world to see me
cause I dont think that theyd
Understand
When everythings made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And you cant fight the tears that aint
Coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know youre alive

And I dont want the world to see me
cause I dont think that theyd
Understand
When everythings made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And I dont want the world to see me
cause I dont think that theyd
Understand
When everythings made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And I dont want the world to see me
cause I dont think that theyd
Understand
When everythings made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am

And this one just because it's so... THEM

You and Me by Lifehouse

what day is it
and in what month
this clock never seemed so alive
I can't keep up
and I can't back down
I've been losing so much time

cause it's you and me and all of the people
with nothing to do
nothing to lose
and it's you and me and all of the people
and I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you

all of the things that I want to say
just aren't coming out right
I'm tripping inwards
you got my head spinning
I don't know where to go from here

cause it's you and me and all of the people
with nothing to do
nothing to prove
and it's you and me and all of the people
and I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you

there's something about you now
I can't quite figure out
everything she does is beautiful
everything she does is right

you and me and all of the people
with nothing to do
nothing to lose
and it's you and me and all of the people
and I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you

you and me and all of the people
with nothing to do
nothing to prove
and it's you and me and all of the people
and I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you

what day is it
and in what month
this clock never seemed so alive
 
I thought of a couple of Guns N' Roses songs that might be appropriate...

Don't Cry
Talk to me softly
There's something in your eyes
Don't hang your head in sorrow
And please don't cry
I know how you feel inside I've
I've been there before
Somethin's changin' inside you
And don't you know

Don't you cry tonight
I still love you baby
Don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you baby
And don't you cry tonight

Give me a whisper
And give me a sigh
Give me a kiss before you
tell me goodbye
Don't you take it so hard now
And please don't take it so bad
I'll still be thinkin' of you
And the times we had...baby

And don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you baby
And don't you cry tonight

And please remember that I never lied
And please remember
how I felt inside now honey
You gotta make it your own way
But you'll be alright now sugar
You'll feel better tomorrow
Come the morning light now baby

And don't you cry tonight
An don't you cry tonight
An don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you baby
And don't you cry
Don't you ever cry
Don't you cry tonight
Baby maybe someday
Don't you cry
Don't you ever cry
Don't you cry
Tonight


I can see this as Rikki's point of viewwhen was leaving Danny/moving away. It just totally fits the way they both felt, especially the fact that she did not want to leave.


Patience

1,2,1,2,3,4

[whistle]
Shed a tear 'cause I'm missin' you
I'm still alright to smile
Girl, I think about you every day now
Was a time when I wasn't sure
But you set my mind at ease
There is no doubt
You're in my heart now
Said, woman, take it slow
It'll work itself out fine
All we need is just a little patience
Said, sugar, make it slow
And we come together fine
All we need is just a little patience
(patience)
Mm, yeah

I sit here on the stairs
'Cause I'd rather be alone
If I can't have you right now
I'll wait, dear
Sometimes I get so tense
But I can't speed up the time
But you know, love
There's one more thing to consider
Said, woman, take it slow
And things will be just fine
You and I'll just use a little patience
Said, sugar, take the time
'Cause the lights are shining bright
You and I've got what it takes
To make it, We won't fake it,
I'll never break it
'cause I can't take it

...little patience, mm yeah, mm yeah
need a little patience, yeah
just a little patience, yeah
some more patience, yeah
need some patience, yeah
could use some patience, yeah
gotta have some patience, yeah
all it takes is patience,
just a little patience
is all you need *

I BEEN WALKIN' THE STREETS AT NIGHT
JUST TRYIN' TO GET IT RIGHT
HARD TO SEE WITH SO MANY AROUND
YOU KNOW I DON'T LIKE
BEING STUCK IN THE CROWD
AND THE STREETS DON'T CHANGE
BUT BABY THE NAME
I AIN'T GOT TIME FOR THE GAME
'CAUSE I NEED YOU
YEAH, YEAH, BUT I NEED YOU
OO, I NEED YOU[
WHOA, I NEED YOU
OO, ALL THIS TIME **
(ah)
​
I think this one, fits Danny's point of view if he went to find Rikki, or if Rikki came back for whaever reason that didn't have to do with Danny, and she wasn't as keen on getting something started again. I can see her telling him no, and him just pining for her.​

Here's one of my favorite songs, What Hurts the Most by Rascal Flatts:

I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house
That don’t bother me
I can take a few tears now and then and just let them out
I’m not afraid to cry every once in a while
Even though going on with you gone still upsets me
There are days every now and again I pretend I’m ok
But that’s not what gets me

What hurts the most
Was being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was tryin’ to do

It’s hard to deal with the pain of losing you everywhere I go
But I’m doin’ It
It’s hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and I’m alone
Still Harder
Getting up, getting dressed, livin’ with this regret
But I know if I could do it over
I would trade give away all the words that I saved in my heart
That I left unspoken

What hurts the most
Is being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do

What hurts the most
Is being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do

Not seeing that loving you
That’s what I was trying to do

I think it fits the Danny/Rikki scene in episode 4x19 so well. Heck, it fits what happened in episode 4x16 too! Poor Danny, not knowing what he was truly trying to do was to love Rikki, and not just ease her pain.

Good thing she's returning, eh? ;) :D
​
 
Well, I posted this on another thread. I think it fits here too. Danny's thoughts about the upcoming spoilers and what he would say to Rikki.
He wants to be with her, but... again, if the spoilers are right, he won't be.

Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word by Sir Elton John


What have I got to do to make you love me
What have I got to do to make you care
What do I do when lightning strikes me
And I wake to find that you're not there

What do I do to make you want me
What have I got to do to be heard <<<< How he really does love her
What do I say when it's all over
And sorry seems to be the hardest word

It's sad, so sad
It's a sad, sad situation
And it's getting more and more absurd
It's sad, so sad
Why can't we talk it over <<< Danny needs to tell Rikki how he feels
Oh it seems to me
That sorry seems to be the hardest word

What do I do to make you love me
What have I got to do to be heard
What do I do when lightning strikes me
What have I got to do
What have I got to do
When sorry seems to be the hardest word << I'm sure it would be hard for Danny to say he's sorry to Rikki. That he's sorry for not going after her and sorry for not telling her he had feelings for her, more than just the one night they had together.
 
I found this song. What he would say to her after finding out about Lindsay... :eek:

I'm sure it would be awkward so this song fits the situation. He still has feelings for Rikki, that is obvious.
It's kind of angsty ;)

Sometimes When We Touch by Dan Hill

You ask me if I love you
And I choke on my reply
I'd rather hurt you honestly
Than mislead you with a lie
And who am I to judge you
On what you say or do?
I'm only just beginning to see the real you

And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you til I die
Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides

Romance and all its strategy
Leaves me battling with my pride
But through the insecurity
Some tenderness survives
I'm just another writer
Still trapped within my truth
A hesitant prize fighter
Still trapped within my youth

And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you til I die
Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides

At times I'd like to break you
And drive you to your knees
At times I'd like to break through
And hold you endlessly

At times I understand you
And I know how hard you've tried
I've watched while love commands you
And I've watched love pass you by

At times I think we're drifters
Still searching for a friend
A brother or a sister
But then the passion flares again

And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you til I die
Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
