Here’s a vote for the next ep.

“Maybe” by Isbells

‘m walking through the streets of my town when I look up 
there’s a girl 
she has got a black dress on and she covers her face 
from the sun 
all my troubles are gone when she passes me by when she 
gives me her beautiful smile I wonder what she’s all 
about but before I could ask she was gone 
I don’t know who you are you don’t know who I am maybe 
you will be mine 
and we’ll have a beautiful child a house and a dog 
[ From : http://www.elyrics.net/read/i/isbells-lyrics/maybe-lyrics.html ]
we’ll travel a lot 
but the moment’s gone so maybe not 
day after day I’m looking for you I’m loosing my mind 
over thee but no one can
bring me down ‘cause I believe in you and me 
I don’t know who you are you don’t know who I am maybe 
you will be mine 
and we’ll have a beautiful child a house and a dog 
we’ll travel a lot 
but the moment’s gone so maybe not / maybe

“Winter Air” by Annasay

The snow is falling down
I pull you near
The city sounds fade and disappear
City lights blur behind you ears
Your lips are warm
Even in winter air
Even in winter air

As I hold your hand
We walk familiar streets
Made brand new
Now that you’re here with me
I see your eyes
You look so happy now
As the white snow flakes
Land on your dark eyebrows
Land on your dark eyebrows

There is so much I want
I want to say to you
Do you feel alive
When I’m next to you?
Do you think that love
Can exist so soon?
I’m hoping that
You feel the way I do
You feel the way I do

We walk up the steps
To your house front porch
We say goodbye
Under the midnight sky
I’m leaving you
Looking in your eyes
I see your smile
It says your heart is mine
It says your heart is mine

Your heart is…

I think that I might
Be falling for you
I love who you are
And every little thing you do
There’s a certain something
When it’s me and you
I’m hoping that
You feel the way I do!
I do!

Only time will tell
If this is something true
If it’s a passing stage
Cause everything we have is new
This all seems to good
To good to be true
But I’m glad I get
I get to be with you!
With you!
With you!
With you!
I get to be with you….

The snow is falling down
I pull you near
The city sounds fade and disappear
City lights blur behind you ears
Your lips are warm
Even in winter air….

“This Time Tomorrow” by Trent Dabbs

So there my friend, you’re in the deep end.
Just hanging on to hope by a loose thread.
Well it’s never good, to try and play pretend.
But maybe what’s broken, can start to shine.

And you’ll find, this time tomorrow.
We’ll decide where it will all go, in this life.

Those younger years, never saw yourself standing here.
They disappeared, all the moments you held so dear.
Start keeping them close, waves come and go.

And you’ll find, this time tomorrow
We’ll decide where it will all go, in this life

Let it play out, I hope that the sun,
I hope that the sun, finds you now.
Let it play out, I hope that the sun,
I hope that the sun, finds you now.

And you’ll find, this time tomorrow,
We’ll decide where it will all go, in this life.

Elena to Stefan, Damon to Elena. ….and everyone to everyone. Sheesh, is it Season 4 yet????

“Don’t You Remember” by Adele

When will I see you again?
You left with no goodbye,
Not a single word was said,
No final kiss to seal any scene,
I had no idea of the state we were in,

I know I have a fickle heart and a bitterness,
And a wandering eye, and heaviness in my head,

But don’t you remember?
Don’t you remember?
The reason you loved me before,
Baby, please remember me once more,

When was the last time you thought of me?
Or have you completely erased me from your memory?
I often think about where I went wrong,
The more I do, the less I know,

But I know I have a fickle heart and a bitterness,
And a wandering eye, and a heaviness in my head,

But don’t you remember?
Don’t you remember?
The reason you loved me before,
Baby, please remember me once more,

Gave you the space so you could breathe,
I kept my distance so you would be free,
And hoped that you’d find the missing piece,
To bring you back to me,

Why don’t you remember?
Don’t you remember?
The reason you loved me before,
Baby, please remember me once more,
Baby, please remember you used to love me 


When will I see you again?

Sep 22

Here’s a vote for either-
a) Damon finally getting to hold Elena and know she’s alive, or
b) Elena finding Stefan after she turns 

“That Home” by Cinematic Orchestra

There is a house built out of stone
Wooden floors, walls and window sills
Tables and chairs worn by all of the dust
This is a place where I don’t feel alone
This is a place where I feel at home

‘Cause, I built a home
For you, for me

Until it disappeared
From me, from you

And now, it’s time to leave and turn to dust

Out in the garden where we planted the seeds
There is a tree as old as me
Branches were sewn by the color of green
Ground had arose and passed it’s knees

By the cracks of the skin I climbed to the top
I climbed the tree to see the world
When the gusts came around to blow me down
I held on as tightly as you held onto me
I held on as tightly as you held onto me

‘Cause, I built a home
For you, for me

Until it disappeared
From me, from you

And now, it’s time to leave and turn to dust

Here’s a vote for Elena trying to decide if she should choose death or undeath.

“World Spins Madly On” by The Weepies

Woke up and wished that I was dead
With an aching in my head 
I lay motionless in bed
I thought of you and where you’d gone
and let the world spin madly on

Everything that I said I’d do 
Like make the world brand new
And take the time for you
I just got lost and slept right through the dawn 
And the world spins madly on

I let the day go by 
I always say goodbye
I watch the stars from my window sill 
The whole world is moving and I’m standing still

Woke up and wished that I was dead 
With an aching in my head 
I lay motionless in bed
The night is here and the day is gone
And the world spins madly on

I thought of you and where you’d gone 
And the world spins madly on.

Here’s a vote for Elena struggling when Katherine comes BACK, BITCHES.

“Cracks” by Freestylers, featuring Belle Humble

Sep 22

This is a vote for so many TVD things that I can’t even write them all here. Just listen to it. LISTEN, DAMMIT.

“Wherever You Will Go” by Charlene Soraia

So lately, been wondering
Who will be there to take my place
When i’m gone, you’ll need love
To light the shadows on your face
If a great wave shall fall
It would fall upon us all
And between the sand and stone
Could you make it on your own?

If i could, then i would
I’ll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low
I’ll go wherever you will go

And maybe i’ll work out
A way to make it back some day
To watch you, to guide you
Through the darkest of your days

If a great wave shall fall
It would fall upon us all
Well i hope there’s someone out there
Who can bring me back to you

If i could, then i would
I’ll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low
I’ll go wherever you will go

Run away with my heart
Run away with my hope
Run away with my love

I know now, just quite how
My life and love might still go on
In your heart, in your mind
I’ll stay with you for all of time

If i could, then i would
I’ll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down lowI
‘ll go wherever you will go

If i could make you mine
I’ll go wherever you will go
If i could turn back time
I’ll go wherever you will go
I’ll go wherever you will go

Here’s a vote for the song for Damon and Stefan coming to grips with Elena being a vampire in Season 4.

“Hiding Place” by Aushua

My face was long
when I heard a whisper in her song
and it pulled me by the wrists
like the words of a hypnotist
make the silence break
yeah, when they snap, you wake.

I heard it all before,
promise not to anymore
but I’m just listenin’ to the breeze
I ain’t beggin,’ sayin’ please
there ain’t nothin’ wrong
tryin’ not to bare the bone
tryin’ hard to hide alone
and she bursts into my room
carryin’ a Bible and a broom
screamin’ let me in

but I’m just hearin’ her singin’
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Hearts in trouble but it won’t break
‘cause the whispers in the dark
oh, they’ll never know your name
I aint sayin’ I believe
and I’m not sayin’ you’re to blame
but you call this thing love
and I don’t think they’re the same

It’s just a hiding place.
Oh, on the island, just breathe 
it treats you kindly, but time
oh, no, it’s never quite as sweet
til you’re standing on the brink of the open door
can’t bring you in
ever since a child I’ve been
chasin’ an image in my head of …
on my bed, under a cloud of sheets

Yeah, I could always hear her singin’
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

My hands are tied but they won’t stay
‘cause I’ll chew all on the ropes like they were sugarcane
won’t stand there with fallen hands and silently wait
til you swear your eyes had seen what you never heard ‘em say
can’t erase this … before it drives you insane
and your knees and your whole soul start to tremble and shake
and think of who you were before you gave it away
and you spend all your money tryin’ to feel the same.

Gimme some of that hiding place

I’m reblogging this in honor of Rachael, who’s going through some really hard times tonight. Please, please, please drop by her blog and send her kind thoughts.

Here’s a vote for Stefan’s song to vampire-Elena.

“Safe” by Westlife

Hard to find a way to get through
It’s a tragedy
Pulling at me like the stars do
You’re like gravity
Even if the wind blows
It makes it hard to believe

How yuo gonna love
How you gonna feel
How you gonna live your life like the dream you have is real
And if you lost your way
I will keep you safe
We’ll open up all the world inside
I see it come alive tonight
I will keep you safe

Doesn’t even matter to you
To see what I can see
I’m crawling on the floor to reach you
I’m a wreck you see
When you’re far from home now
Makes it hard to believe

So how you gonna love
How you gonna feel
How you gonna live your life like the dream you have is real
If you’ve lost your way
I will keep you safe
We’ll open up all your world inside
Till you come alive tonight
I will keep you safe

We all fall down
We all feel down
Cause rainy days and summer highs
The more we pray the more we feel alive

How you gonna love
How you gonna feel
How you gonna live your life like the dream you have is real
How you gonna love
How you gonna feel
How you gonna live your life like the dream you have is real

If you’ve lost your way
I will keep you safe
We’ll open up all your world inside
So you come alive tonight
I will keep you safe

Well I will keep you safe
I will keep you safe

Here’s a vote for the song in the bg when Elena convinces Damon to stay.

“If You Wanna Go” by Joy Williams

One more time
sitting in a silent stare
and I’m the only one that’s here
Let’s just get it all out
Gimme every single word
even if it’s gonna hurt…

Cuz too many nights
falling asleep
with all of these doubts
stuck in between us
being polite is getting us nowhere now…

So if you wanna stay, just stay
if you wanna go, if you wanna go
just go
So if you wanna stay, just stay
if you wanna go, if you wanna go
just go
go far away, go far away…

so let’s just fight
maybe you could find some tears
and I could feel something real again
you and i know we need to figure this out
tell me is it too late now…

Cuz too many nights
falling asleep
with all of these doubts
stuck in between us
being polite is getting us nowhere now…

So if you wanna stay, just stay
if you wanna go, if you wanna go
just go
So if you wanna stay, just stay
if you wanna go, if you wanna go
just go
go far away, go far away…

We built too much just to stand and watch it fall apart…
It hurts too much just to stay the way we are…

So if you wanna stay, just stay
if you wanna go, if you wanna go
just go
So if you wanna stay, just stay
if you wanna go, if you wanna go
just go
go far away, go far away…

This is a vote for so many things I can’t list them all. Personally, I could see the first verse being Elena and Stefan finally making up and going upstairs (if you know what I mean), then cutting to Damon closing the door behind him and walking out / looking back longingly during the first set of ‘bye bye’s as the camera pans out on him walking away into the dark; then for the next verse cutting to Caroline in her room looking at a picture/text/something of Tyler but then on ‘don’t look down’ she looks out her window and sees Klaus (maybe even just a hallucinated one or a reflection in the window… since he’s in Tyler lol). …at least, that’s what my head sees when this song plays haha. This one works in so many ways. I’d love to hear you guys’ interpretations. What do you hear? Tell me!

“Breathless” by Miranda Lee Richards

Brothers, your hands are tied 
Sleepless, the battle wages higher 
“All aboard!” you hear the captain say 
Take what’s yours, only what you can carry in your arms 

Before I met you, my life was a series of chances 
Before I met you, my mind, it was racing all of the time 
Bye, bye, bye, bye,
Bye, bye, bye, bye 

Dodging arrows, the ones that strike you down 
They hit the walls behind us without a sound 
Elevate yourself to the higher plane 
And don’t look down; you will only scare yourself 

Before I met you, my life was a series of chances 
Before I met you, my mind, it was racing all of the time 
Bye, bye, bye, bye, 
Bye, bye, bye, bye 

Lay down on a sandy beach
It’s a bad world, no place for us to be 
So hold the ones you love dear and closest to your heart 
Tell them how you feel; they might not know it ‘cause you never show them 

Before I met you, my life was a series of chances 
Before I met you, my mind, it was racing all of the time 
Bye, bye, bye, bye… 
Bye, bye, bye, bye

Here’s a vote for the song playing when Damon tries to walk away from Elena so she can be happy (we all know how far he’ll get).

“Heart & Mind” by Kina Grannis

I write you letters from right to left
See if you have desire yet
To decipher what I said
And learn secrets from my head

It was hard for me to say
Those three words that are so brave
Almost kept them locked away
Deep inside where they’d be safe

Always trying to find
A safer place to hide
Always felt I was protecting my…
Heart and mind
Heart and mind
But it seems like to really feel alive
I cannot hide
My heart and mind

I don’t know why I get shy
Tucked away inside my mind
Scared to let someone inside
I sit silent in disguise

Always trying to find
A safer place to hide
Always felt I was protecting my…
Heart and mind
Heart and mind
But it seems like to really feel alive
I cannot hide
My heart and mind


The day I found the strength inside me
just by finally realizing
is it truth that is inside 
that I really cannot hide
my heart and mind…

Always felt I was protecting 
my heart and mind
but it seems like to really feel alive
I cannot hide my heart and mind
I cannot hide my heart and mind…

EDIT: LOL, wow guys, my bad, turns out this was already in the show. LOL! I guess I know I’m picking good TVD songs at least. HA. IMHO, though, the way they used it really squandered such a moving and well-fitting song.

Here’s a vote for Elena’s feelings towards the Salvatores in season 4 (though personally I think the lyrics also skew towards Damon talking to Elena, especially ‘change your mind and say you’re mine’…oh, hell, ALL THE LYRICS… I’m voting this the unofficial Damon theme song for season 4 haha).

“Stay” by Hurts (featured ep. 2x13, “Daddy Issues”)
My whole life waiting for the right time

To tell you how I feel.
Know I try to tell you that I need you.
Here I am without you.
I feel so lost but what can I do?
‘Cause I know this love seems real
But I don’t know how to feel.

We say goodbye in the pouring rain
And I break down as you walk away.
Stay, stay.
‘Cause all my life I’ve felt this way
But I could never find the words to say
Stay, stay.

Alright, everything is alright
Since you came along
And before you
I had nowhere to run to
Nothing to hold on to
I came so close to giving it up.
And I wonder if you know
How it feels to let you go?

You say goodbye in the pouring rain
And I break down as you walk away.
Stay, stay.
‘Cause all my life I’ve felt this way
But I could never find the words to say
Stay, stay.

So change your mind
And say you’re mine.
Don’t leave tonight
Stay.

Say goodbye in the pouring rain
And I break down as you walk away.
Stay, stay.
‘Cause all my life I’ve felt this way
But I could never find the words to say
Stay, stay.

Stay with me, stay with me,
Stay with me, stay with me,
Stay, stay, stay, stay with me.

Here’s a vote for a possible ending song for episode 4x01, where Damon convinces Elena not to give up on herself, and complete the transition. 

“Perfect” by Hedley

Falling a thousand feet per second, you still take me by surprise.
I just know we can’t be over, I can see it in your eyes.
Making every kind of silence, takes a lot to realize
Its worse to finish then to start all over and never let it lie.
And as long as I can feel you holding on. I won’t fall, even if you said I was wrong.

I’m not perfect but I keep trying cause that’s what I said I would do from the start.
I’m not alive if I’m lonely, so please don’t leave. Was it something I said or just my personality?

Making every kind of silence, It takes a lot to realize
Its worse to finish then to start all over and never let it lie.
And as long as I can feel you holding on. I won’t fall, even if you said I was wrong.

I know that I’m not perfect but I keep trying cause that’s what I said I would do from the start.
I’m not alive if I’m lonely, so please don’t leave. Was it something I said or just my personality?

When you’re caught in a lie, and you’ve got nothing to hide,
When you’ve got nowhere to run, and you’ve got nothing inside.
It tears right through me, you thought that you knew me, you thought that you knew..

I’m not perfect but I keep trying cause that’s what I said I would do from the start.
I’m not alive if I’m lonely, so please don’t leave. Was it something I said or just my personality?
I’m not perfect but I keep trying cause that’s what I said I would do from the start.
I’m not alive if I’m lonely, so please don’t leave. Was it something I said or just my, just myself?
Just myself? Myself? Just myself?

I’m not perfect, but I keep trying.
