Gen/Irene song!
Nov. 13th, 2010 08:54 amComing out of lurkage just to say that I happened to hear Alanis Morissette's "I Remain" yesterday, and it struck me that it describes Gen/Irene nearly perfectly. Srsly. I love it. :D
Have a listen!
How crass you stand before me
With no blood to fuel your fame
How dare you wield such flippancy
Without requisite shame
Your very existence becomes my secret mission's bane.
You bow to kiss my hand and I ignore ignited flame.
How I'm moved to meet you
Untouched I do remain
To some it seems foreign why I would steely forge ahead
This land entrusted to me knows not of hallowed secrets
I'll keep it to myself while your brave eyes swim in my head
Your charm cannot distract me from the path I'm born to tread
How I'm thrilled to know you
Unaffected I remain
How I've learned to like you
Undeterred I do remain
Less daunting as team?
And you, unlikely king, by my side.
And me, so much better for trusting you
My hand over your heart while you keep hindrances at bay
Color me surprised by how our union saves the day
How I've grown to need you
As my solo journey fades
How I love to love you
And how loyal I remain
I remain
I remain
I remain
I remain
I remain.

Wonderful QT song. I must have missed it the first time it was posted. There are actually several AM songs that suit the series. You can listen to some of them here.
