it's the thrill of the fight.
Hockey Reverse Big Bang art post the first. This is my "women who play hockey" mix, and it goes with speakingwosound's fic "It Takes Blood and Guts" (link to AO3). I have limited internets, so there's just a zip for the whole mix, no individual track links. Covers, listing, and ~lyric snippets under the cut. Also posted on the tumbler here.
it takes blood & guts to be this cool

&&
01. "Eye of the Tiger" - Jenn Grant (Survivor cover)
so many times, it happens too fast
you trade your passion for glory
don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
you must fight just to keep them alive
02. "River" - Joni Mitchell
oh i wish i had a river i could skate away on
but it don't snow here; it stays pretty green
i'm gonna make a lot of money
then i'm gonna quit this crazy scene
03. "When the City Lights Dim" - Cold Specks
i will teach these lungs to yearn
fill this hungry heart with things to burn
the cn tower will glow into me
guide my blood home
and i was as calm as a child
take it to the river, take it down slow
my oh my don't you know my will is good?
in the cold morning i heard them breathe
said, my oh my don't know my will is good?
04. "Help I'm Alive" - Metric
i tremble--they're gonna eat me alive
if i stumble they're gonna eat me alive
can you hear my heart
beating like a hammer
beating like a hammer
help i'm alive, my heart keeps beating like a hammer
hard to be soft, tough to be tender
05. "It takes blood and guts to be this cool but I'm still just a cliche." - Skunk Anansie
wash me oh so painfully clean
dissect my words with a fist full of your dreams
build me up and strike me down please
sign my name, sign my name
06. "Get Lucky" - Halestorm (Daft Punk cover)
we've come too far to give up who we are
so let's raise the bar and our cups to the stars
she's up all night 'til the sun
i'm up all night to get some
she's up all night for good fun
i'm up all night to get lucky
07. "Team" - Lorde
so all the cups got broke
shards beneath our feet
but it wasn't my fault
and everyone's competing for a love they won't receive
'cause what this palace wants is release
we live in cities you'll never see onscreen
not very pretty, but we sure know how to run things
livin' in ruins of a palace within my dreams
and you know we're on each other's team
08. "Infamous" - Tegan & Sara (live)
west coast has got me screaming
they've got me by the collar
if you want it, you come get it
you tell the east coast not to bother
if you need me
well baby, come and see me
09. "Grown Woman" - Beyoncé
they love the way i walk
'cause i walk with a vengeance
and they listen to me when i talk
'cause i ain't pretending
it took a while, now i understand
just where i'm going
know what i want and i know who i am
it's 'bout time i show it
10. "Local Rebel/'Anarchy in the UK'" - Emily Haines (live w. Tall Firs)
when i was 17 i thought i had a cause to champion
i was hopeful and naive, it was easy to believe in
i thought how hard can it be?
i'm not afraid of giving everything
everything
for passion
BONUS: "I Make the Dough, You Get the Glory" - Kathleen Edwards
i'm sure it's been said in the finer print:
you make me look legitimate
heavy rotation on the CBC, whatever in hell that really means
you're cool and cred like fogerty, i'm elvis presley in the seventies
you're the concord, i'm economy:
i make the dough, but you get the glory
