Fanmix: The L Word - Shane/Carmen - Pretty & Tragic
So this is the first legitimate fanmix I've made in awhile and the first one I've ever posted online. Obviously after watching so much of The L Word in such a short period of time and completely falling in love with Shane/Carmen I just HAD to get some energy out and make this! And seriously, Carmen is like my favorite character ever. Ya know, besides Kara and Wesley and our Big Damn Heroes... um, but other that that! lol. It really wasn't meant to be so angsty, but then again maybe it should be...! I've been working on this literally non-stop for the past three days. And damn people know what they're talking about when they say that making the album art is HARD, yo. It took me hours, but actually turned out well I think, even if it's different than what I originally planned.
Anyway, I really hope you like it, please download away (just don't claim the mix or art as yours is all I ask), and if anything's not working or needs a reupload let me know. I'd really love to hear what you think so please comment if you download (or even if you don't)!
All songs are .mp3 files; the ZIP includes every song and the album art.
This mix is about the passion, attraction, difficulties, issues, and ultimately love and respect that Carmen and Shane share. Their relationship has always been a struggle of pulling and pushing against each other despite - or perhaps because of? - their feelings.
An ode to the hottest, cutest, most heartbreaking couple on The L Word!
01 - New - No Doubt
my normal hesitation is gone
and I really gravitate to your will
are you here to fetch me out
'cause I've never had this taste in my mouth
...
why am I so curious
this territory is dangerous
I'll probably end up at the start
I'll be back in line with my broken heart
02 - Crooked Teeth - Death Cab for Cutie
'cause I built you a home in my heart
with rotten wood, it decayed from the start
...
I'm a war of head versus heart
and it's always this way
my head is weak, my heart always speaks
before I know what it will say
03 - LaLa - Lucy Pearl
04 - It's OK - Tracy Chapman
you can be pretty and tragic
I'll try to keep the walls from falling down
you can be beautiful and fabulous
I'll try to keep the walls from falling down
I can't reach the pain you feel
but I'll try to keep the walls from falling down
if you can hold on, lose your fear
I'll try to keep the walls from falling down
05 - Dice - Finley Quaye & William Orbit
nothing can compare to when you roll the dice
and you swear your love's for me
06 - Underneath It All - No Doubt
there's times where I want something more, someone more like me
there's times when this dress rehearsal seems incomplete
but you see the colors in me like no one else
and behind your dark glasses you're, you're something else
...
you've used up all your coupons and all you've got left is me
and somehow I'm full of forgiveness, I guess it's meant to be
07 - Sway - Bic Runga
don't stray, don't ever go away
I should be much too smart for this
you know it gets the better of me sometimes
when you and I collide I fall into an ocean of you
pull me out in time, don't let me drown
08 - Metal Heart - Garbage
I wish I had a metal heart, I could cross the line
I wish that I was half as good as you think I am
...
I want to be dependable, I want to be courageous and good
I want to be faithful so that I can be heroic and true
I want to be a friend you can rely on, you can lean on and trust
I want to understand so I can forgive and be willing to love
09 - The District Sleeps Alone Tonight - The Postal Service
you seem so out of context in this gaudy apartment complex
a stranger with your door key, explaining that I'm just visiting
and I am finally seeing why I was the one worth leaving
10 - It's Only Love - Heather Nova
I used to think that I knew what we needed
I just assumed we would always be fine
now I don't think that we lost the feeling
but we let everything build up inside
...
there's a part of you I'm trying to reach
still a part I don't know
tell me, is devotion a gift or a thief
do you wish I'd let go
11 - The Scientist - Johnette Napolitano
tell me your secrets and ask me your questions
oh, let's go back to the start
running in circles, coming up tails
heads are a science apart
12 - Nothing Better - The Postal Service
so please back away and let me go
I can't, my darling I love you so... oh, oh
tell me am I right to think that there could be nothing better
than making you my bride and slowly growing old together
don't you feed me lines about some idealistic future
your heart won't heal right if you keep tearing out the sutures
13 - Ex-Girlfriend - No Doubt
I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex-girlfriend
I hope I hold a special place with the rest of them
and you know it makes me sick to be on that list
but I should have thought of that before we kissed
...
your wildness scares me, so does your freedom
you say you can't stand the restrictions
I find myself trying to change you
if you were meant to be my lover I wouldn't have to
14 - Try - Nelly Furtado
all of the moments that already passed
we'll try to go back and make them last
all of the things we want each other to be
we never will be, we never will be
and that's wonderful, and that's life
that's you, baby, and this is me, baby
and we are... free in our love
15 - Sometimes It Be That Way - Jewel
and I'm sorry if you had to explain it like this
I'm sorry I was a point you were destined to miss
and I'm sorry I spoke to you irreverently
down in the hollow by the old olive tree
and I'm sorry if my heart breaking ruined your day
oh well, sometimes it be that way
16 - Promising Light - Iron & Wine
time and all you gave
I was the jerk who preferred the sea
to tussling in the waves
tugging your skirt, singing please, please, please
...
but now I see love
there in the scab where you pinched my leg
now I see love
there on your side of my empty bed
