Trust is inadvisable during a war. Trust remains a personal failing.

 

1. Heroes & Thieves

Vanessa Carlton

"Heroes and Thieves at my door
I can't seem to tell them apart anymore"

 

2. When You Were Young

The Killers

"You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
To save your from your old ways
You play forgiveness"

 

3. Cracking Codes

Andrew Bird

"You don't need a secret code
No need to play at being spies
And though I may speak to you in tongues
We don't need Rosetta Stone
To know how this song is sung"

 

4. Close Friends

James Newton Howard

 

The lists of dead keep coming. Regrettable actions are taken.

 

5. The Riley Boys

Carol Denney

"It’s so hard to read the news
And so beautiful outside
And the world that seemed so wide
Now seems so broken"

 

6. I'll Be Good

Jaymes Young

"I've been cold, I've been merciless
But the blood on my hands scares me to death"

 

A relationship starts as if it had always been. 

 

7. Parking Lot-Dialogue

Cast (A Star Is Born Soundtrack)

 

"Tell me something, boy
Aren't you tired tryin' to fill that void?
Or do you need more?"

 

8. Who You Love (feat. Katy Perry)

John Mayer

"And I tried to run before
But I'm not running anymore
'Cause I've fought against it hard enough to know

that you love, who you love"

 

The chaos of war brings strains and separations.

 

9. Love Brought Weight

Old Sea Brigade

"Love brought weight to this heart of mine
Gone to waste in due time"

 

10. In These Arms

The Swell Season

"You are restless
I was somewhere less secure...

...Cause maybe I was born to hold you in these arms
Maybe I was born to hold you in these arms"

 

Garak leaves. Cardassia is always first.

 

11. King

Lauren Aquilina

"Rid of the monsters inside your head
Put all your faults to bed
You can be King again"

 

It doesn't cure the longing.

 

12.  Ode To A Friend

Old Sea Brigade

"This is me thinking
I think all about you"
