1. "All These Things That I Have Done" by The Killers - My new Naruto/Sasuke/BabyNinja/Leaf theme song.

[Naruto]
When there's nowhere else to run
Is there room for one more son?
One more son
If you can hold on
If you can hold on, hold on
I wanna stand up, I wanna let go
You know, you know - no you don't, you don't
I wanna shine on in the hearts of men
I want a meaning from the back of my broken hand
Another head aches, another heart breaks
I am so much older than I can take
And my affection, well it comes and goes
I need direction to perfection, no no no no

Help me out
Yeah, you know you got to help me out
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the back burner
You know you got to help me out

[Sasuke]
And when there's nowhere else to run
Is there room for one more son?
These changes ain't changing me
The cold-hearted boy I used to be

Yeah, you know you got to help me out
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the back burner
You know you got to help me out
You're gonna bring yourself down
Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down
Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down

[all the ninjas of Konoha, babyninjas, notsobabyninjas, on and on]
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier (x10)
...
Yeah, you know you got to help me out
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the back burner
You know you got to help me out
You're gonna bring yourself down
You're gonna bring yourself down
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the back burner
Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down

Over and in, last call for sin
While everyone's lost, the battle is won
With all these things that I've done
All these things that I've done
If you can hold on
If you can hold on

2. "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)" by My Chemical Romance - My new Logan Echolls theme song. Yup. Veronica Mars must be my new tv fandom if I'm picking out songs.

[Logan]
Well if you wanted honesty, that's all you had to say.
I never want to let you down or have you go, it's better off this way.
For all the dirty looks, the photographs your boyfriend took,
Remember when you broke your foot from jumping out the second floor?
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
You wear me out
What will it take to show you that it's not the life it seems?
(I'm not okay)
I told you time and time again you sing the words but don't know what it means
(I'm not okay)
To be a joke and look, another line without a hook
I held you close as we both shook for the last time take a good hard look!
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
You wear me out
Forget about the dirty looks
The photographs your boyfriend took
You said you read me like a book, but the pages are all torn and frayed
I'm okay
I'm okay!
I'm okay, now
(I'm okay, now)
But you really need to listen to me
Because I'm telling you the truth
I mean this, I'm okay!
(Trust Me)
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
Well, I'm not okay
I'm not o-fucking-kay
I'm not okay

Your icon! I LOVE IT!

(Um. Sorry. That was completely off topic from the post. But I couldn't not comment on it)

It took quite a bit of work, actually, getting it down to icon size, and then making the font legible once it's downsized. Luckily it's black and white so having 12 or 15 different frames didn't matter for size.

I gave the fanartist an email asking if I could use it and giving him/her a copy, but so far no response.


...As punishment for your off-topic reply, DOWNLOAD THE SONGS. AND LISTEN TO THEM. AND THINK OF BABYNINJAS AND LOGAN. ;)

I actually already have the Killers song. octopedingenue sent it to me a couple of weeks ago. She related it to Ed, though. It seems like a lot of the songs that remind me of Ed could also remind me of Naruto and a lot of the songs that remind me of Naruto could also remind me of Ed. I never thought of them as being a lot alike, but maybe the kind of are in some ways.

Anyway. I don't have the other one, though. So I shall download it now. :D

I related it to Ed, too. And Alphonse. Actually, at first it was an Edward song for me. But this week it's morphed into a Konoha song in my head.

I never thought of them as being a lot alike, but maybe the kind of are in some ways.

I know. They're so different, but in some ways are alike. I think I really connected it with both Ed and Naruto in this part:

Help me out
Yeah, you know you got to help me out
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the back burner
You know you got to help me out

Ed needs help and love and attention and someone (Alphonse, Winry, his father, or otherwise) to care about him. Not to let him fall by the wayside. Naruto needs that too, very badly. Edward's always had Alphonse, but sometimes Al isn't enough. And Naruto now has a couple of people... but he's been so long without people before Iruka and before team 7 and before Jeraiya that those scars run deep. And of course Sasuke, his best friend, had to LEAVE them. For evil. The jerk. That couldn't have helped Naruto's trust issues.

That Killers song is one of my favorites. I'm not sure I ever looked up the lyrics, though - they're kinda different from what I've been singing. *grin*
