Oh Lost. Look what you made me do. ;)

Will You Love Me Just a Little?
A 'Sawyer/Juliet in the 70s' Mix

Okay, all this season on Lost (what, I know, I'm not usually fandomy about it) I've been really enjoying all the Sawyer and Juliet interaction. They're buddies with matching rifles! She makes him go sit in a corner to calm down sometimes! They're so refeshingly straightforward and nonchalant with each other! Out of the DRAMATIC LOVE QUADRANGLE those two have always been the awesome ones, so it's no surprise I'm down with ditching their more emo counterparts.

Now I just want to watch them roll around the island kicking ass, frolicking in bell bottoms and enjoing the free love of the 70s! AND SO MY BRAIN CREATED THIS: I present to you my 'The Songs Sawyer and Juliet Totally Fell in Love to Back in '74-'77' mix! All the songs come from before 1977, though it skews earlier than intended. Clearly, the Dharma sub isn't a very reliable purveyor of records. I mean, Geronimo Jackson. It roughly follows the progression of their relationship and also the structure of "LaFleur".

THANKS FOR THE CRACK LOST! I swear, you suddenly move a pairing I like into the '70s and I just cannot resist. :D

01. Something in the Way She Moves (1968)
James Taylor

There's something in the way she moves,
Or looks my way, or calls my name,
That seems to leave this troubled world behind
If I'm feeling down and blue,
Or troubled by some foolish game,
She always seems to make me change my mind

And I feel fine anytime she's around me now,
She's around me now
Just about all the time
And if I'm well you can tell she's been with me now,
She's been with me now quite a long, long time
And I feel fine

Sawyer: Thanks for getting my back with that whole 'beach' issue.
Juliet: You should thank me, it was a stupid idea.
Sawyer: (grins) Well, what does that say about you agreeing with me?

02. Conversation (1970)
Joni Mitchell

He says she keeps him guessing
I know she keeps him down
She speaks in sorry sentences
Miraculous repentances -
I don't believe her

Tomorrow he will come to me
And speak his soul,
endlessly and he'll ask me why -
Why can't I leave her?
He comes for conversation
I comfort him sometimes
Comfort and consultation
He knows that's what he'll find

Juliet: We didn't get a chance to finish our conversation.
Sawyer: What conversation was that?
Juliet: The one where they started shooting at us.
The one where you were about to tell me how it felt to see Kate again.
Sawyer: I wasn't about to tell you anything.
Juliet: Why don't you tell me now?

03. Sister Golden Hair (1975)
America

Will you meet me in the middle, will you meet me in the air?
Will you love me just a little, just enough to show you care?
Well I tried to fake it, I don't mind sayin', I just can't make it

Well, I keep on thinkin' 'bout you, Sister Golden Hair surprise
And I just can't live without you; can't you see it in my eyes?

Sawyer: Well, what about me?
You really gonna leave me here with the mad scientist and Mr. I speak to dead people?
And Jin, who's a hell of a nice guy but not exactly the greatest conversationalist.
Juliet: You'll be fine.
Sawyer: Maybe. But who's gonna get my back?
Come on. Just give me two weeks, that's all I'm asking.
Two weeks.
Juliet: All right, two weeks.

04. In My Life (1965)
The Beatles

Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more

Sawyer: I had a thing for a girl once. And I had a shot at her, but I didn't take it.
For a little while, I'd lay in bed every night wonderin' if that was a mistake.
Wonderin' if I'd ever stop thinking about her.
But now I can barely remember what she looks like.
And her face it's... she's just gone. And she ain't ever coming back.
So, is three years long enough to get over someone? Absolutely.

05. Our House (1970)
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

Our house is a very, very, very fine house
With two cats in the yard
Life used to be so hard
Now everything is easy
'Cause of you

I'll light the fire
While you place the flowers in the jar
That you bought today

Juliet: Is that for me?

06. You Can Close Your Eyes (1971)
James Taylor & Joni Mitchell

So close your eyes
You can close your eyes, it's all right
I don't know no love songs
And I can't sing the blues anymore
But I can sing this song
And you can sing this song
When I'm gone

Seriously, I wound up loving the idea of this mix so much. Damn, I can't believe Lost created three years of relative happiness! I know we're supposed to interpret that scene about Kate as 'Sawyer sure is a good liar!' or OH THE IRONY HE SEES HER FACE AND IT ALL COMES RUSHING BACK but I just can't. Sawyer and Juliet are so awesome and functional. I love them. Watch it LOST, you're on notice.

LMAO! Also, I just realized the vocalists I picked to represent James and Juliet are James and Joni.
Unintentional, I swear. I'm not that cheesy. Okay, maybe I am, but I wasn't. XD

Thanks for listening!

WORD! So much WORD!

Ha, I think that's part of why people have taken to this ship so quickly. We just can't resist pairing awesome with awesome.

this is GOLD! *_*

Thanks! This mix has kind of been eating up my spare time for the last few days; I'm kind of in love with it. :D

Brilliant mix!
I'm not sure what exactly Lost has done to me lately, but it's done it huge!
I've just finished a season 3 re-watch and have moved into season 4 and you're so right about their awesomeness reigning above all. I totally agree!

I'm not sure what exactly Lost has done to me lately, but it's done it huge!
I don't know either! I've actually been trying to resist shipping Sawyer and Juliet all season, since I know Lost can't really forsake their love quadrangle. BUT THEY'RE IRRESISTIBLE.

Thanks for the comment! <3

Oh, I SO WAS WAITING for someone to do it! I love Seventies music and it was totally great. I'm snagging since I only had the CSNY one, thanks so much!! ♥ And beautiful art too!

I know, right? It had to be done! I love '60s and '70s music too, so I thought I'd take a stab at it. I hope you like the rest of the music! It's definitely all of the pretty acoustic variety rather than rock.

And beautiful art too!
Aw, thanks so much!♥

TOO. AWESOME.

That is all. :D

THANK YOU, I TRY! :D

THIS.

Seriously, this comment was enough to convince me to download the mix XD

Ha, yes! Really, it's hard to deny. It's nice to see people who have always been so great get to be happy for a while.

Thanks for downloading! Hope you like the music. :)

this is such a cute idea :)

Thank you! As soon as the idea occurred to me, I knew I had to make it. :)

Oh, I was thinking about doing something like this, but you did it SO much better than I ever could! This is epically awesome! :D

I know, mixes like this were inevitable! I have to admit, I was a little worried someone would post a mix with all these songs right before I posted mine. :D

If you're feeling inspired, you should definitely put something together! I'm sure it would be fab. I keep seeing your icons around and thinking "Ooh, who did that one? Oh, it's

marylou_gr!"

Thanks so much for the comment! And the 'epic', I'm flattered. <3

What an awesome idea! I love it. I'm downloading this right now so I can listen to it straight away, the song choices are so good :D And the art is so pretty too - I can't get enough of any S/J art!

I can't believe how much Sawyer/Juliet has eaten my brain over the last week, so thank you for this! It helps to fuel the obsession a lot ;)

Oh, thank you! It's always good to know when someone actually gives it a listen! I'm always so picky about the song choices. I hope you like the music! :D

I can't believe how much Sawyer/Juliet has eaten my brain over the last week, so thank you for this!
I hear ya! Sawyer/Juliet hit me hard and fast too. I've spent a good amount of time fiddling with this mix the last few days. But it's been fun! :D

Did I ever tell you you're my hero? Seriously. You are the wind beneath my wings bb! This mix is AWESOME! I want to see more Juliet/Sawyer in the 70s! Free love! Bell bottoms! I want to see Juliet make a daisy chain out of all the flowers that Sawyer gives her and put them in her hair! DON'T MESS THIS UP SHOW!

Seriously though, this mix is like the best idea to ever exist. I love it. Downloading now!

Nawww, you're making me blush! The idea for this mix occurred to me while I was making icons (soon to be posted XD) after our chat on your entry and would not let go of my brain until I finished it. THE ADVENTURES OF JULIET AND SAWYER IN THE '70S CONTINUE IN THE FORM OF SONG!

DON'T MESS THIS UP SHOW!
I'm campaigning for LOST to really subvert expectations and have a series of fluffy 70s flashbacks.

I want to see Juliet make a daisy chain out of all the flowers that Sawyer gives her and put them in her hair!
YES. This will be the first one! Maybe followed by them working on the VW van together (but Juliet's totally the one with skills doing all the tough stuff). And her flatironing his hair for work. Maybe catching a rogue polar bear that was about to eat a baby and then watching some island bootleg of Star Wars. I'd be ALL OVER THAT.

Thanks for downloading, bb! It makes me happy to know my mix is actually getting listened to. <3

Oh this is awesome! I was hoping someone would do this. Downloading. ♥

I know, it had to be done. I mean, Sawyer and Juliet have their own time period at the moment. :D

Thanks for downloading! I hope you like the music.

Great fanmix! But I've been trying to escape from Sister Golden Hair for 30 years and it keeps popping up like a bad penny on oldies (er, Classic Rock) stations.
Joni's Conversation - now that I haven't heard that in 25-30 years. What a better choice to have in your head. What album was that from?

Great fanmix! But I've been trying to escape from Sister Golden Hair for 30 years...
Ha, sorry about that! Not being a big radio person, I didn't even know it was overplayed!

What a better choice to have in your head.
Agreed! I wouldn't mind in the slightest, listening to Joni for a few days straight. Conversation is from Ladies of the Canyon, my favorite. <3

Thanks so much for the feedback! :)

Holy mother of all things in the ocean!
This is amazing! I love the concept, the pictures, the songs. Our House has gotta be one of my favourites for some reason. Meming this thing like mad, dude.
Also, since Sawyer_Juliet is my first comm, I'll work on getting that fanmix tag for you. I might have to ask my co-mod, but we'll get it. Thank you! <3

Aw, thanks so much! Your comment made me grin like crazy. I'm so glad you thought it all came together, I had to work on this until I thought everything was just right. <3

Our House has gotta be one of my favourites for some reason.
Our House was actually the first song I picked! Something about the tone, and of course, the flowers just instantly clicked with "LaFleur".

And don't worry too much about the tags if it's tricky! A lot of comms don't have a fanmix tag; I just like to request it. Thanks for putting together such a nice comm. I looooove your layout; it made me join immediately. :D

Thanks for downloading! :D

Thank you for downloading! James/Juliet/the 70s is totally my new OT3. I hope you like the music choices. :)

Thanks! I download your graphics too...

You're welcome, I'm glad you liked it. The graphics too! Maybe I should make them into colorbars or something because I really liked how the coloring turned out. :)

This is absolutely amazing!♥

Thank you!♥

This mix is amazing! I cannot wait to put it on a cd and listen to it during my road trip this weekend!

Thank you, I'm flattered it would make the road trip music! I'm afraid it won't last you very long; it's only 20 minutes! I could be a bit too picky in my song choices, but I always think my mixes are much stronger when simpler. XD Maybe I should send you some not-quite-as-good bonus tracks or something! ;)

Thanks again for the nice comment!♥

Oh, what a lovely mix. I'm not very familiar with the music of the 70s so I have the opportunity to view all of these solely through James/Juliet glasses and, oh, they are perfect. ♥

Though I am now having a mild panic attack about my mix. It pales in comparison, I fear.

Thanks so much! It's nice to get the perspective of someone who doesn't have too many expectations about the music of the 70s. I'm glad you liked the song choices, I was hoping I picked songs that would translate well to a modern audience! And, of course, fit James/Juliet. :)

Though I am now having a mild panic attack about my mix. It pales in comparison, I fear.
Aw, no! I think your mix is great! We're going for very different things. Mine is a very targeted "Only music from the '70s!" (which I then fudged a bit ;) ) and "Must fit into 'LaFleur'!" while your mix is more general, expressing the 'feel' and emotional shifts of the pairing. I think there's a equal place for listening to both!

Oh... I think I love you a little now. ^^

And Joni Mitchell <3 She's my hero!!

Hee, thaaaank you!

I love Joni; I was just thrilled to have an opportunity to put her on a mix. <3

Just when I was over the 70's music phase thanks to Life On Mars UK you came along and pulled this out of your magical hat :P.

I'd never expect them to pair but I'm downloading anyway because it's 70's LOST!

[There were rumours about that one of our favourite LOSTies will die at the end of season 5. God if they kill Juliet, I will shake my fist so hard...!]

I'd never expect them to pair but I'm downloading anyway because it's 70's LOST!

I know! This development happened to dovetail with my newfound enjoyment of Saywer/Juliet but I will download any '70s Lost mix someone puts together! :D What a fun plot twist and '70s music!

[Yikes, I hadn't heard that! It better not be Juliet. They can't kill an awesome character, especially not to simplify their love quadrangle. Also, not Daniel. All right, at this point I have a lost list. ;)]

This totally rocks! Thanks for uploading, it's a really sweet idea. The songs are perfect. : )

Aw, you're welcome! Just happy to be sharing the love of Sawyer/Juliet and of '70s music!

Thanks so much for the comment. ♥

Hey, I've never downloaded a fanmix (never wanted to) before, but this one is just toooooooo good to pass up! Um...only thing is, I don't know how to do it! Care to walk me through the motions?

I love that you and practically everyone else is on board with this pairing, I've loved them for a long, long time in my heart-of-hearts!

Wow, I'm flattered to be your first fanmix! At the bottom of the entry, you can click on a link that says "Download Zip (27 MB @ Megaupload)" which will send you to download a zip file. Double-clicking on that should give you all the tracks and the cover art. Sorry, in my layout the links don't really look like links! :D

I'm happy to see so many people excited about Sawyer/Juliet too! I thought for sure, with all the Sawyer/Kate love I see around, they wouldn't be this popular. I've liked the idea of them since the season 4 finale but my love has grown exponentially over the course of this season. It must be even more exciting when you've dug them all along! <3

Thanks so much for comment, and hopefully, the download!

This looks SO EPIC!

Thank you! It's a short mix but it was pretty intense to make! :D

I'm ashamed that I'm not caught up to s5 yet, but this post is just made of win! Mem'ing for when I get to s5!!

Oh man, sorry if my teaser was too spoilery! I wasn't sure how to get across the point of the mix without them!

Thank you! I'm honored to have a place in your mems. I have to say, I've been really enjoying s5 Lost so hopefully there's so good times in your future TV watching! :D
