Squee! Dawson’s Creek season 4 DVDs on Tuesday!

😀

But I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t do some complaining… about the music changes, of course. Here’s the comprehensive list of replacement songs for the DVD release…

— The song I’m most depressed about losing is David Gray’s This Year’s Love. It was played over the final Pacey/Joey scene in the season premiere, which is one of my most favorite moments of the show. Ever. Sniffle. That song, to me, was like the theme for Pacey and Joey’s relationship in this season… *sigh*

Superman didn’t make the cut in 402. They messed with another one of my favorite Pacey/Joey scenes! * shakes fist*

— Yes! Never Saw Blue Like That in 403 is intact. Phew. I’ve always loved the way this song gave the Dawson/Pacey scene a hopeful tone.

Crazy For This Girl in 408 is gone, which is so bizarre to me because the song is on the official soundtrack (Volume 2). I guess they didn’t get clearance for the DVDs when that deal was inked. *shrugs*

— I have to say that I’m not all that sad to see that Takes My Breath Away was replaced in 414. I know that it’s played over a particularly significant Pacey/Joey scene but… I just wasn’t all that crazy about the song itself. I’m interested to hear the replacement.

— Bye bye to In the Sun from 416. This song introduced me to Joseph Arthur so I’m sad to see it go.

— I’m in shock (SHOCK, I tell you!) that Sweet Jane has been replaced in 418. Jen and Dr. Frost talk about the song in the first act so when it plays during the montage at the end, it serves as kind of a nice bookend to the episode. GUH.

— Another disappointment. No more Waiting For My Real Life To Begin in 421. This is from my second favorite Dawson/Joey scene of the season (the first being their scene together in Self-Reliance). Bah. It’s like all my favorites — gone!

— Well, at least they kept Fields Of Gold in 422. That’s a plus.

ARGH. I’m so conflicted. I love having DC on DVD but it’s not the same knowing that they’re not the “original” episodes.

  1. Wow! Season 4 DVDs are already out?! Didn’t they just release Season 3…or am I just suprisingly out of the loop on Dawson’s Creek DVD news.

    I can’t believe they took out "This Year’s Love"; that is the quintessential Pacey/Joey song! Even though I don’t play on buying these DVDs, it’s still the principle of the thing! 🙂

    I’m actually suprised they replaced so many of the soundtrack songs. Weird.

  2. huh what no! NOT THESE SONGS NOT SWEET JANE! NOT THIS YEARS LOVE *dies* not buying the dvds *pouts* lol no money either, but thats just ridiculous. Thats all the key songs and how odd that most of them are soundtrack songs. STUPID STUPID!

  3. Okay, question about the whole music change thing. Why do they have to change some songs, exactly? I’ve never quite understood. But I still think you should buy the DVDs. 😉 I mean, I know the music adds so much, but it’s still the same Pacey & Joey and how could you not want to watch "A Winter’s Tale" over and over? 😛
