Fanmix: Dead Like Me, George, Not Your Average Girl
Sorry flist, I didn't want to spam you today, but fanmix is taking a "long" time approving my post, and I want to be done with that challenge so here it is...

Title: Not Your average Girl

This fanmix is made of songs that reminded me of George Lass from Dead Like Me. I'll add more explanations whne I feel they're needed but most are just self-explanatory.
01. No Doubt - Just A Girl.mp3
Before she became a Reaper...
I'm just a girl, living in captivity
Your rule of thumb
Makes me worry some
I'm just a girl, what's my destiny?
What I've succumbed to
Is making me numb
02. Tori Amos - Cornflake Girl.mp3
George never was an average girl...
Never was a cornflake girl
Though that was a good solution
Hanging with the raisin girls
She's gone to the other side
03. Peter von Poehl - Travelers.mp3
I feel like this is what a Reaper's life is about...
We are travellers,
we go far
the only place we've never been to
is where we are.
And if our roads would cross
some day
I'm not sure we'd recognize our faces
anyway.
04. Queen - Bohemin Rhapsody.mp3
Her whole life as a Reaper is a farçe, a joke, the same way this song is. It fits perfectly IMO what being a Reaper is about.
Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide
No escape from reality
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see
05. Dido - Life For Rent.mp3
Getting a Second chance at life just means you have to try harder the second time around or does it?
But if my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine
06. Tori Amos - Bliss.mp3
Being a Reaper again.
Steady as it comes
Right down
To you
I've said it all
So maybe we're a Bliss
Of another kind
07. Regina Spektor - Après Moi.mp3
This fit George's more than often dark mood
Be afraid of the lame
They'll inherit your legs
Be afraid of the old
They'll inherit your souls
Be afraid of the cold
They'll inherit your blood
Après moi, le déluge
After me comes the flood
08. Jack Johnson - If I could.mp3
George's life is marked by her struggle with coming to terms with what she must do
From a friend on the phone
That didn't sound so good
The doctor gave him two weeks to live
I'd give him more if I could
You know that I would now
If only I could
09. Billy Idol - Dancing With Myself.mp3
Okay, this one might seem odd, but I've liked the way Geaorge grows accustomed to what she is now, and how she learn to deal.
So let's sink another drink
'Cause it'll give me time to think
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance
And I'll be dancing with myself
10. Nina Simone - Feeling Good.mp3
By the End of te tv movie, George has reached a place she never had before, she finally belongs somewhere, is good at a job, and is feeling good about herself. Through Death, she foudn herself.
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good
