ionicThis ended up having a shippy angle, because that's how I roll, but it can also read as really strong BFF love. (I hope you like it!)

1. You Only Live Once - The Strokes
2. I Am a Scientist – The Dandy Warhols
3. All You Need is Me – Morissey
4. Young Folks - Peter Bjorn and John
5. I'm the Man Who Loves You - Wilco
6. All We Have Is Now - The Flaming Lips
7. Keep It Together - Guster
8. I Walk the Line - Johnny Cash
9. You're My Best Friend - Queen
[When the world doesn't agree with Rodney, generally the world is wrong, John learns quickly enough. At least in Rodney's head (and sometimes in John's own, but Rodney's ego doesn't need to know that).]
You Only Live Once – The Strokes
29 different attributes
And only 7 that you like,
20 ways to see the world,
Or 20 ways to start a fight.
[Rodney sometimes gets on John's nerves; it's part of his charm. John, of course, must return the favor. Rodney hates this song, because he thinks it's ridiculous. In John's head, it becomes Rodney's song for that reason.]
I Am a Scientist – The Dandy Warhols
In me the scientist
Always get stuck on always trying this
I try to live on science alone.
Analysis and freaky sensitivity
We've gotta live on science alone.
[Complaining: one of Rodney's fondest pastimes. Antagonizing: one of John's fondest pastimes. This song would probably also remind Rodney of John; all they need is each other (and coffee and ZPMs and the Team).]
All You Need is Me – Morissey
You hiss and groan and you constantly moan,
but you don't ever go away.
That's because all you need is me.
You roll your eyes up to the skies, mock horrified,
but you're still here.
All you need is me.
[John's prickly when it comes to personal crap and Rodney has all the subtlety of a sledgehammer. Somehow this works.]
Young Folks – Peter Bjorn and John
If you knew my story word for word,
had all of my history.
Would you go along with someone like me?
I did before and had my share it didn't lead nowhere.
I would go along with someone like you.
I'm the Man Who Loves You – Wilco
All I can be is a busy sea
of spinning wheels and hands that feel for
stones to throw and feet that run.
But if I could you know I would
just hold your hand and you'd understand
I'm the man who loves you.
[For all the times disaster strikes, and things that go wrong in every possible way and then some; they can only take it one day at a time.]
All We Have Is Now – The Flaming Lips
As logic stands you couldn't meet a man
who's from the future.
But logic broke as he appeared he spoke
about the future.
"We're not going to make it".
[There are so many almost-ends. John wonders this about himself and Rodney; he decides the answer is yes.]
Keep It Together – Guster
So far away from everyone
and everything starts today.
Keep it together.
Can we keep it together?
We're singing a new song now
and everything starts today.
Can we rise? Can we get along all right?
[It's easier to not question, but over the years John comes to know what Rodney means to him and everything that entails.]
I Walk the Line – Johnny Cash
I find it very, very easy to be true
I find myself alone when each day is through
Yes, I'll admit that I'm a fool for you
Because you're mine, I walk the line.
You're My Best Friend – Queen
You're the best friend
that I ever had.
I've been with you such a long time.
You're my sunshine.
And I want you to know
that my feelings are true
I really love you
