1. I Knew I Loved You - Savage Garden (Simon) Download
there's just no rhyme or reason | only this sense of completion | and in your eyes I see the missing pieces | ... | I knew I loved you before I met you | I think I dreamed you into life

Simon holds his baby sister for the first time.

2. Cure My Tragedy - Cold (Simon) Download
remember all the times that we used to play | you were lost and I would save you | I don't think those feelings will ever fade | you were born a part of me

Simon reminiscing about growing up with River. Also, title track, as "Born a Part of Me" is a lyric from this song.

still shaking | still in pain | you put me back together again

River when she first climbs out of the box aboard Serenity.

4. Virgin State of Mind - K's Choice (River) Download
now there's a key where my wonderful mouth used to be | dig it up, throw it at me | dig it up, throw it at me | where can I run to | where can I hide | who will I turn to | now I'm in a virgin state of mind

7. I Will Carry You - Clay Aiken (Simon) Download

carry you, carry you | when the stars go blind and the darkness starts to flood your eyes | when you're falling behind, I will carry you

Simon's devotion to River. The musical equivalent to, "Light it."

8. North and South of the River - U2 (Simon) Download
I've been doing it wrong all of my life | this holy town has turned me over | a young man running from what he didn't understand | ... | but love was not lost | it just got mislaid | north and south of the river

Simon's been trying to ignore his feelings.

9. A Man and a Woman - U2 (Simon) Download
little sister don't you worry about a thing today | take the heat from the sun | little sister I know that everything is not okay | but you're like honey on my tongue | ... | and you're the one | there's no one else | you make me want to lose myself | in the mysterious distance | between a man and a woman

Simon loves his little sister like a man loves a woman.

it's in the water baby | it's in the pills that pick you up | it's in the water baby | it's in the special way we fuck | it's in the water baby | it's in your family tree | it's in the water baby | it's between you and me

Simon would kill for River. She'd do the same.

11. House of Cards - Madina Lake (River) Download
it's late at night the worlds asleep | and I'm trying not to think | I take some pills 'cause my mind bleeds | I'm thinking what is wrong with me | ... | It's such a shame what I've become | after years of breaking down | my whole life has come undone | 'cause I'm trying to fake it all | and I know that you love someone | but that someone isn't me | isn't me, no

River's feelings on Simon's relationship with Kaylee.

(For the record, I am notorious for my bad taste in music. So...yeah. That explains the Clay Aiken & Savage Garden. And the abundance of U2 and Placebo. Heh.)

That song by Clay Aiken is the song that, if anyone were ever to listen to one of his songs, that'd be the one to listen to. I actually ended up vidding that song with Lord of the Rings, because it just works so well in these "completely devoted to each other" 'ships. But specifically these two lines gave me Simon/River vibes: "and the voices tell you turn around" being a reference to how River hears everyone's thoughts and feelings and how they effect her, and this line: "when the stars go blind" because one of the first times we actually see her happy and smiling is during...I believe it's "Bushwhacked," when she and Simon sneak out of the ship while the Alliance is looking in at it and the rest of the crew is being interrogated, and she turns around and looks a the stars and gets this big smile, even though Simon is obviously scared. So when the song says "when the stars go blind, I will carry you," it's like when seeing the stars, which had made her so happy in Bushwhacked, are gone, Simon will still be there to help her.

...yes, I am ridiculously in love with that one song. And the rest of his CD.

But er...anyway. Thanks. :)
