Forever In My Heart: A Dom/Mal Fanmix
One of this month's challenges over at inception_land is to create a fanmix. Though I've been making playlists of songs I associate with various works of fiction for many years, this is the first time I've ever made a real fanmix with front and back cover art.
1. Truly Madly Deeply / Savage Garden
YouTube link
The happy couple falls more deeply into love, and more deeply into dreams.
I'll be your dream, I'll be your wish
I'll be your fantasy
I'll be your hope, I'll be your love
Be everything that you need
I'll love you more with every breath
Truly, madly, deeply do
I will be strong, I will be faithful
'Cause I'm counting on
A new beginnin'
A reason for livin'
A deeper meanin', yeah
And I want to stand with you on a mountain
I want to bathe with you in the sea
I want to lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me
2. I Build This Garden For Us / Lenny Kravitz
YouTube link
"We built for years. Then, when that got stale, we started in on the memories."
I build this garden for us
In this garden
Our children will grow
Darling this is a must
We'll be so happy
Our little family
So full of love and trust
And darling when we're old
We'll close the gates and lock the door
Our love will never fade away
When it's pure it's forever last
3. Lay Down / Beatnik Turtle
Web link (where song can be streamed or downloaded)
"You're waiting for a train. A train that will take you far away."
Lay down
Across the tracks
Lay down
There'll be no goin' back
Put your head on the ground
And don't make a sound
Lay down, lay down
4. Old Souls / Jessica Harper (From the "Phantom of the Paradise" soundtrack)
YouTube link
"To wake from that. From decades lived. To be old souls thrown back into youth. It was hard."
Our love is an old love, baby
It's older than all our years
I have seen in strange young eyes
Familiar tears
We're old souls in a new life, baby
They gave us a new life to live and learn
Some time to touch old friends and still return
Our love is a strong love, baby
We give it all and still receive
And so with empty arms we must still believe
All souls last forever so we need never fear goodbye
A kiss when I must go...no tears...in time...we kiss hello
5. Pearl of the Stars / Coheed and Cambria
YouTube link
"MAL, NO!"
The pill she takes
The pain with which she drowns
Our baby sleeps next door
She's made it down
She's my angel
From the west
There will never be a one
To take her place
6. Forever / Nevermore
YouTube link
"Are these the 'experiments' you do every night?"
In this neon black gloom I still see her face
She comes to me bringing darkest hour, I am forlorn
The pain is reborn
You are forever in my heart, you never died
You are forever I still wonder where you are
I know you're dreaming, I know you're at peace
I'll meet you in the dreamtime
Whenever you call me I'll go under, I'll swim through you
7. Sway / Bic Runga
YouTube link
"Because building dreams out of your own memories is the surest way to lose your grip on what is real and what is a dream."
And there's no cure, and no way to be sure
Why everything's turned inside out
Instilling so much doubt
It makes me so tired - I feel so uninspired
My head is battling with my heart
My logic has been torn apart
And now it all turns sour
Come sweeten every afternoon
8. In My Dreams / Kanan Road
YouTube link
"I thought you might be missing me..."
"I am. But I can't trust you anymore."
I know I need to find a way
To break free from your memory
'Cause if it takes any longer to get over you
You just might be the death of me
I never took you for granted, I always told you
Have no fear and I'll be right here
But I missed the sign that said
You fell out of love
And now you're in my dreams
And you won't let me forget a thing
And now you're in my dreams and you won't let go
9. Stay / Shakespeare's Sister
YouTube link
"Admit it, Dom. You don't believe in one reality anymore. So choose. Choose your reality like I did. Choose to be here. Choose me."
If this world is wearing thin
And you're thinking of escape
I'll go anywhere with you
Just wrap me up in chains
But if you try to go alone
Don't think I'll understand
Stay with me
Stay with me
In the silence of your room
In the darkness of your dreams
You must only think of me
There can be no in between
When your pride is on the floor
I'll make you beg for more
Stay with me
Stay with me
You'd better hope and pray
That you make it safe
Back to your own world
You'd better hope and pray
That you'll wake one day
In your own world
Coz when you sleep at night
They don't hear your cries
In your own world
Only time will tell
If you can break the spell
Back in your own world
10. Silent Lucidity - Queensryche
YouTube link
The top spins one last time... but no one is watching.
You're lying safe in bed
It was all a bad dream spinning in your head
Your mind tricked you to feel the pain
Of someone close to you leaving the game of life
So here it is another chance
Wide awake you face the day
Your dream is over...
Or has it just begun?
