I love Pam & Jim & Falling Slowly!
I love Pam & Jim & Coffee Shop!
I've written in my other blog how much I like the song "Falling in love at a coffee shop" by Landon Pigg. Who wouldn't love it? It's gentle and sweet, nothing angsty at all.
And then today, I came upon a fanvid of Pam & Jim from The Office set to Landon Pigg's song! Oh my gosh, how perfect is that! The fanvid covers the awkwardness of Pam & Jim from the earlier seasons, hence the song being a perfect partner to it. And then it goes into the slow but steady falling of the two, complemented wonderfully by the song's final lines.
It would have been perfect if there was a coffee shop scene, but the only characters I remember being in a coffee shop were Dwight & Jan, and Pam & Angela.
Here we go. Pam & Jim with Falling in love at a coffee shop. Lyrics after the video.
Falling in love at a coffee shop
by Landon PiggI think that possibly, maybe I’m falling for you
Yes theres a chance that I’ve fallen quite hard over you.
I’ve seen the paths that your eyes wander down
I want to come tooI think that possibly, maybe I’m falling for you
No one understands me quite like you do
Through all of the shadowy corners of meI never knew just what it was about this old coffee shop
I love so much
All of the while I never knew
I never knew just what it was about this old coffee shop
I love so much
All of the while I never knewI think that possibly, maybe I’m falling for you
Yes theres a chance that I’ve fallen quite hard over you.
I’ve seen the waters that make your eyes shine
Now I’m shining tooBecause oh because
I’ve fallen quite hard over youIf I didn’t know you, I’d rather not know
If I couldn’t have you, I’d rather be aloneI never knew just what it was about this old coffee shop
I love so much
All of the while I never knew
I never knew just what it was about this old coffee shop
I love so much
All of the while, I never knewAll of the while , all of the while
It was you

I love Pam & Jim
They're both playful (but not destructive), sweet (but not cloying) and talented (and are starting to shine in their own ways). I love how they interact with each other -- Pam in the reception area, Jim at his desk.
I enjoyed the tension a lot in Seasons 1-3. It was heartbreaking, with neither timing working out for them just right, but hey, it paid off in the end. I think. Let's see what happens when The Office goes back to production. Please give the writers what they want!!!
This video on YouTube is lovely, lovely, lovely. It's Pam and Jim from the earlier seasons, with the title of the song "Almost Lover" very fitting.
Your fingertips across my skin
The palm trees swaying in the wind
Images
You sang me Spanish lullabies
The sweetest sadness in your eyes
Clever trick
Well, I never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me
[Chorus]
Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do
We walked along a crowded street
You took my hand and danced with me
Images
And when you left, you kissed my lips
You told me you would never, ever forget
These images
Well, I'd never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me
[Chorus]
Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do
I cannot go to the ocean
I cannot drive the streets at night
I cannot wake up in the morning
Without you on my mind
So you're gone and I'm haunted
And I bet you are just fine
Did I make it that
Easy to walk right in and out
Of my life?
[Chorus]
Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do
