This had been sitting among my iTunes playlist for a couple of months now, and I've finally decided to give it a cover art and upload it for others. There are no plot spoilers under the cut, just a season 4 casting spoiler that I think everyone knows by now.








Never Ending Story – Limhal
“Atlantis. I think we can go there.” Daniel Jackson said. Let the adventure of a lifetime begin.
Reach the stars
And fly a fantasy
Dream a dream
And what you see will be

Saluto L’inverno – Paola Turci
She has said goodbye to the man she loved, she has no regrets. Another life is starting for her in another planet, and she embraces it enthusiastically.
Al mio risveglio
È arrivata da un altro pianeta
Un'insolita ebbrezza
É la curiosità

Light the fire within - Leann Rhimes
They’re the world’s best and brightest, and they’re never going to give up, no matter what. She’ll make sure of that.
once in every lifetime
there's a chance to stand apart
we can show the world
our very best
reveal what's in our heart

The Real thing – Lisa Stansfield

This one reminds me of The Storm / The Eye (for obvious reasons) and works as a shipper song, too. Due to the content of the lyrics, I associate it with John/Elizabeth/Rodney.

Never mind the rain and the storm
Well keep each other warm
We got something stronger than strong
This is the real thing

Unbroken – Missy Higgins

The Pegasus Galaxy is darker than she expected. All her ideals, all her belief are shattered by the harsh reality of the war with the wraith. How long will she be able to hang on to them?

And inevitably, what we used to be will
Succumb to the pull of gravity
And you will never, no you will never see with virgin eyes again

I believe in you - Il Divo & Celine Dion

I tend to associate this song with both John and Elizabeth. The meaning is not necessarily romantic, though. She had faith in him when everyone thought he was nothing but trouble, he supports her decisions in return. They take care of Atlantis together.

Follow you heart
Let you love lead through the darkness
Back to a place you once knew
I believe, I believe, I believe
In you

Heaven out of hell – Elisa

Even the darkest hour is worth living in Atlantis…

Don't you wanna shake because you love
cry because you care
feel 'cause you're alive
sleep because you're tired

Boulevard of broken dreams – Green Day

I can associate this song with both ‘Before I sleep’ and ‘The real world’. When things go horribly wrong. Or feel horribly wrong.

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
and I'm the only one and I walk alone

Faith of the Heart – Russell Watson

When everything is falling apart around you, faith is the only thing that keeps you going.

I'm going where my heart will take me
I've got faith to believe I can do anything.
I've got strength of the soul, and no one's gonna bend or break me.

I won’t be lost – Natalie Imbruglia

‘The return, pt1’ Being away from Atlantis it’s more painful that she’ll ever admit, and she doesn’t want her friends to know how she really feels.

Smiling like a billionaire
Hoping you were unaware
The walls inside were caving in
My world had come apart again

I miss my sky – Heather Nova

Same as above. The separation from Atlantis is slowly destroying her from the inside, and she can’t move on. Not after all she’s seen and done.

I bury myself in the leaves to sleep
The sun so strong and rage so deep
I keep waking to find I've been dreaming again
And the sound of the ocean is not a plane

People have the Power – Patti Smith

In one of her first interviews on GW Torri mentioned suggesting the execs that Elizabeth’s personal item when she leaves for Atlantis in ‘Rising’ be a Patti Smith CD.
I picked this one since it makes sense that the expedition is trying to change the Pegasus Galaxy by getting rid of the Wraith.

I awakened to the cry
That the people have the power
To redeem the work of fools

Silver Lining – Amanda Ghost

The ultimate Elizabeth/Atlantis song. People are trying their best to undermine her work, force her to step back. But nothing can change her devotion to this city, the place where she truly belongs.

Silver lining
I bathe in your light
Ill always believe in your place in my life

Captain Nemo – Sarah Brightman

There are no words left at this point. Only tears.

"Wish I could stay here and play for a while
But I must be on my way..."
The warmest of smiles
Then he dived into the waves among the other whales
