Many of these are exceedingly good songs, regardless of FK associations, so I recommend listening to them. I hope you find a few that you enjoy!
Yes, "Self Control" and "Rebel Son" are definitely very, very strong Nick associations, and "When I Look at You" is indeed Janette's perspective on Nick today being troublingly both like and unlike the man she used to know long ago.
The "She's Like the Wind" fanvid that I knew was a Nick/Natalie interpretation, about Nick loving Natalie and her not knowing, and him not wanting her to know, because he felt she was much too good for him. "Can't Fight This Feeling" is also a Nick/Nat romantic interpretation, as I know it. And if I remember correctly, "Holding Out For a Hero" is also Nick/Nat, but from Natalie's view -- or perhaps from the perspectives of Natalie, Schanke, and Stonetree, all three.
"Making Love out of Nothing at All" is one of those that didn't belong to a fanvid, but is my own, personal FK association. FK-wise, I hear the song as Lacroix's perspective. Lacroix/Nick, in fact, solely from Lacroix's view. For me, that song is Lacroix winding himself up, speaking about himself, and then, after a long, rising preamble, subsiding to privately marvel, in awe and frustration and confusion, at how Nick does it, recovering from being deeply hurt by each loss to love others again and again, Nick opening himself and putting his heart on the line to care, from nothing to everything, over and over, as Lacroix never does and never would and never could, and has told and tried to force Nick not to do... yet Nick does. Most of the song is the singer bragging about his own power, but the refrain is the singer humbled.
