ONCE UPON A SONG...

So I’m clearly not over the finale and I’m not gonna be okay any time soon (because we have to say goodbye to our favorite characters and I DON’T KNOW HOW TO SAY GOODBYE). That said, I was thinking about all the things I discovered thanks to Once and I realized most of the songs in my “longtime favorites” playlist I found because of this stupid, life-wreaking TV show. So, just to keep them all together, I’m going to write down some of the titles of my favorite songs and how I found/fell in love with them (I already knew some of them, others I didn’t know exsisted). This is also a great occasion for a rewatch of all the fan mades through which I found some of these and to thank all of their amazing authors. So, here it goes:

Wonderwall - Oasis (I already knew this one, but it became my absolute favorite song of all time. I love it, I love the music, the lyrics and it reminds me of a very happy time in my life. I fell in love with it thanks to The Lost Boys by niniadepapa, the first Captain Swan fic I’ve ever read. Frontman!Killian and Actress!Emma falling in love. Check this work of art now if you haven’t read it yet!)

Shattered - Trading Yesterday (strictly reminds me of Killian, this song speaks to my soul. Probably because I think about this this video every time I listen to it. All the season 3 Hook feelings T.T)

You found me - The Fray (I already loved The Fray, this song was just a confirm. Found this one out thanks to this video here)

Human - Christina Perri (oh, Christina. God bless her precious soul. This song never fails to make me emotional and when I listen to it as the music for this video here, I lose it. All of our characters, their pain, their weaknesses. They are fairytales but they couldn’t really be more Human)

God this episode destroyed my heart. Let’s go on.

We might fall - Ryan Star (want to cry on a quiet summer night on the gentle chords of a sad song? Listen to this damn thing. LISTEN TO THIS LITTLE SHIT WHILE IT WREAKS ALL THE SELF CONTROL YOU HAVE AND MAKES YOU BURST INTO TEARS. First time I listened to it, it was in this tribute to Neal Cassidy. I never loved this character, never accepted what he did to Emma. But I do miss him from time to time watching this show. He had a great potential, definitely deserved better and MRJ is a precious cinnamon bun that has to be protected)

Already gone - Sleeping at Last (this is a cover of the original song by Kally Clarkson, and ,thanks to this heartbreaking video of my babies suffering for one another, I discovered Sleeping at Last and fell in love with all of Ryan’s songs and covers. Really, go listen to some of them if you don’t know Sleeping at Last, then come back and cry with me :)

Wicked game - Chris Isaak (one of my all time favorites to play on the piano. In this video there’s an amazing cover of the song by Marie Digby. In love with this as well)

Wherever you will go - Charlene Soraia (already knew the original version by The Calling, but this version here is my undoing. Found this thanks to this CS video, which is one of my favorites of the two of them. The lyrics represent everything they are: never giving up on each other, always there for one another without scaring the other off or pushing them too hard. Ah, True Love. It became one of the songs I so jealously keep in my heart. It was also my first dance with my dad at my eighteenth birthday, btw. So yeah, I’m a huge fucking mess over this)

It is you (I have loved) - Dana Glover (loved Shreck, loved the video, loved the “Don’t you know, Emma? It’s you” moment)

Above and Beyond - Audiomachine (No lyrics, just music. Perfect background music to CS’s journey home and one of the best musical compositions around. Bravo)

The Words - Christina Perri (I mean, do I need to say more? Again, bless Christina and her talented soul. When this song came out, my whole world was shaken, and not just because Colin was in every single scene of the damn video but also BECAUSE of the lyrics. “The scariest part is letting go”, how true)

Animals - Neon Trees (one of the best videos with the funniest moments of the cast at cons and in bloopers. I’ll never really get over how blessed we were, I don’t want to say goodbye to them. Sigh.)

Wings - Birdy (I once saw a fanmade trailer about season 3b, and it was so beautiful I cried. You get it, I am an emotional one. But when it comes to this show I can’t control myself, especially when I see something so well made it touches my chords. Unfortunately, I can’t find this video anymore… I just remember it being about Emma’s faith and belief in her parents and her family. Begged my singing teacher to make me record this and sing this, how pathetic.)

Timeless - Airbone Toxic Event (again, do I need to say more? Their love really is timeless, no matter how or when their story ends)

Never let me go - Florence + the Machine (check this beautiful CS AU video, one of my favorite Neverlan tropes)

Lovesong - Adele (during an interview, Colin mentioned that Hook would sing a Love song to Emma if he ever got the chance. Some people started sharing this one, I think it just fits)

And that’s it! Again, I just want to keep this here so I can always have them together when nostalgia hits me. Check the videos and the songs out, if you want!

(I will keep updating this)

This show has really ruined me in the most beautiful of ways, I will forever miss it.
