Things I Wish I Remembered (A Donna Noble Fanmix.)
Donna Noble knows she isn't clever, even if it is her mother telling her so- but she isn't stupid, either. She wouldn't pay attention to the way she can't remember anything significant happening for months, like she's been living in some sort of fugue state, but for the sad way Grandad looks at her or the way Mum treats her like she'll break, or the way her friends ask if she's finally done traveling. Nothing's changed, but why does she feel like everything has and she missed it (again?) So she tries to change and her attempts go... nowhere. She wants to know why. She wants to know why she's the same person and everyone acts like she shouldn't be. (And also? why she keeps finding the things she shouldn't see when she temps in various offices. That would be nice for starters.)
She wants to know what she missed this time, and what she's supposed to remember.


Noah - Chelsea Logue
[she wishes she could remember why she has this nagging feeling she let somebody down.]
there's an ache in my soul, growing and spinning with time.
where the war meets the wall, blood rushes along mind.
saw the words in his eyes reading pain and shame,
and he's looking on the dawn,
and the ocean as it sweeps away.
and i tried to save him, i tried to save him,
but i am not jesus, i cannot carry that load.
and i tried to save him, i tried to save him,
but i am not jesus, i cannot do this on my own.
i look up from my crawling, watching who would go up,
like the sky is falling, and he's waiting for it to let up.
i reach out with my hands, i reach out, i reach out
and i tried to save him, i tried to save him,
but i am not jesus, i cannot carry that load.
and i tried to save him, i tried to save him,
but i am only a girl, i cannot catch his boat.
he's got to do it on his own. he's got to man that ship alone.
he's got to turn the sails towards the dawn,
because before too long, he might be gone.
when the water comes, when the water comes,
when the water comes, you better save yourself.

Try to Change - Mother Mother
[she wishes she knew what to put on the list of things to change in her life.]
i carry a cane, 'cause I tried to change, and i tried too hard so i hurt my leg and well, overall, i just stayed the same.

Stuck on Repeat - Little Boots
[she wishes she knew why she can't seem to change a thing.]
and i don't remember how it started and i don't know how to make it stop. every time i try and reach the bottom, something pulls me right back to the top. you've got me stuck on repeat.

Redbird - Heather Nova
[she wishes she could fly.]
i saw the redbird fly, bright flame against the sky, burning against the sun, am i the only one?

Bring on the Wonder - Susan Enan
[she wishes she could see what was beautiful when she looks at beautiful things.]
i fell through the cracks at the end of our street, let's go to the beach, get the sand through our feet. bring on the wonder, bring on the song, i pushed you down deep in my soul for too long.

How Can I Keep From Singing? - Enya
[she wishes she knew the words to the song echoing in her head.]
my life goes on in endless song, above earth's lamentations. i hear the real though far-off hymn that hails a new creation. through all the tumult and the strife, i hear its music ringing. it sounds an echo in my soul: how can i keep from singing?

You, Sailor - Erin McKeown
[she wishes she could demand it all back, whatever it may be.]
oh i might stutter, i might falter,
sail uncharted waters,
drowning, lost, then found,
drowning, lost, then found.
i am a king! you can't deny me my kingdom!
you, sailor, on the lonely sea, will you turn and promise me
you'll always be alive?

New Thing Now - Shawn Colvin
[she wishes there was a meaningful prologue to the story she's starting...now.]
sometimes I see the half and not the whole, sometimes I see the face and not the soul, sometimes I think this place has no part for anyone who ever had a heart. this is your new thing now.

Past in Present - Feist
[she wishes she knew what brought her back here.]
so much past, inside my present, inside my past, inside my present. feeling it from dark to bright, when a wrong becomes a right, when a mountain fills with light: it's a volcano, it's a volcano.

Mud on My Shoes - Thea Gilmore
[she wishes she were whole.]
i've got mud on my shoes, i've got a hole in my head. i've got mud on my shoes, i've got a hole in my head. it is high fashion, it is highly suspect. we're one groove short of a record, oh we're a forty-four. we're one groove short of a record, oh we're a forty-four.

Travelin' Shoes - Elvin Bishop
[bonus. doctor locked in the back of her head, told to never make a sound lest he ruin everything: he just wishes he could see clearly and run for the stars, again. and what is that incessant racket that persists in emanating from donna's mouth?]
this situation is driving me insane. somebody fetch my coat and hat and hand me my walking cane. gotta put on my travelin' shoes. (i talked and talked and talked, she didn't hear a word i said.)
