17 \What song(s) always reminds you of that One Fandom Moment? (Link us to the musics!)

I wracked my brain on this one, let me tell you, and then finally it came to me.

The show was 21 Jump Street. In the season four episode Come from the Shadows, Doug Penhall, class clown, falls in love with an illegal immigrant from El Salvador, Marta. So she won't get deported, they marry, and the authorities believe it's an marriage of convenience (which it's not, not really) and they deport her. When she goes back to El Salvador, Marta vanishes and, later in the season when Doug travels to El Salvador to find her, we learn that she's been killed.

There's a beautiful montage that shows them falling in love and being damn adorable and it's set to "Fragile" by Sting and every time I hear this song, I think of Doug and Marta.

If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the colour of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay
Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetime's argument
That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could
For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are

On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are how fragile we are

On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are how fragile we are
How fragile we are how fragile we are


I think the ep is on YouTube, when I'm on the computer, I'll link it.
