Fanmix: Hard For Breathing
Medium: Television
Fandom: Glee/Popular
Subject: Beth/Mackenzie
Format: All mp3. Ten tracks.
A/N: My new favourite cracktastic crossover ship, which I have affectionately dubbed Mackizzle. Or Macbeth, because that's fucking hilarious. And nobody says a word about "Bethany". Not a word. I'm dutiful about canon when it comes to names and I'm a sucker for shortened versions. Samantha and Mackenzie, hello? I've had to bump Popular up about a decade to make the timeline coincide with Glee. So Mac and Drizzle are less than a year apart in age. And don't even get me started on the geographics. The McFamily don't live in Los Angeles anymore, deal with it.
This started out as a total brain fart - it doesn't deserve to be glamorized as some huge, amazing brain wave. It was a passing thought that just happened to make a loud entrance. In the space of about 80 seconds my brain decided they were going to be upgraded from regular BFFs to bestest friends with awkward, gay sexual tension. Because I love when there's something in towns water supply. Huge gay families make me happy.
This is the first time I've tried to make a mix that goes for genre rather than lyrics. It turns out I had a lot more acoustic (or at least what I consider to be 'acoustic' save for two songs) music in my library than I realised. On that note, you have no idea how hard I had to restrain myself from putting any Taylor Swift songs in this damn thing. The same goes for Colbie Caillat. I feel the rage coming in waves from you right now Kirsty. I know how much you loved that ukulele.
Most of these seem pretty self explanatory. Kirsty put the angst bug in my head and even though everything always works out in the end it's a little bumpier than I would originally have had it play out. Because I like fluffy puppies, not dead ones. So while Mac's all comfortable about her sexuality and totally lusting after her best friend the Drizz takes a while longer to realize she's completely capable of reciprocating those feelings with great enthusiasm. Still, the majority of these songs are from Mac's point of view, and squarely directed at Drizzle (I seriously can't call her Beth. Nobody can.) and take place at varying points in the timeline- some before, after and during a falling out, the great epiphany, and so on.
Whatever. Download link after the lyrics. The MSN conversation that spawned this mix is included in the rar. You don't have to read it, it's there for Jenny. ♥
we are birds | brighten
If you're a bird then I'm a bird
But if you can't fly then neither will I
Cause in love is not the right time to die
Her wings are spread
She's stuck here on the ground
She's not heavy, she's my world
I'll carry her around
I hear her breathing, that's my favorite sound
collide | howie day
I'm open, you're closed
Where I'll follow you'll go
I worry I won't see your face
Light up again
Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills my mind
I somehow find you and I collide
I'm quiet you know
You make a first impression
I've found I'm scared to know
I'm always on your mind
she's so high | tal bachman
She's blood, flesh and bone
No tucks or silicone
She's touch, smell, sight, taste and sound
But somehow I can't believe
That anything should happen
I know where I belong
And nothing's gonna happen
that kind of love | alison krauss
Who would sell their soul for love
Or waste one tear on compromise
Should be easy enough
To know a heartache in disguise
But the heart rules the mind
And the going gets rough
Pride takes the fall
When you find that kind of love
I can't help feeling like a fool
Since I lost that place inside
Where my heart knew its way
And my soul was ever wise
what are you waiting for | my favourite highway
It's never that
It's never quite that innocent
So take it back
All the words you thought you said, but never had
You never had
To say a word, don't say a word
Just hold me close
Hold me close and let me go and then you'll know
You need to know exactly what you're letting go
You're letting go
So walk away and take it slow
somebody's me | enrique iglesias
I hate being on my own, and everyone can see that
I really fell, and I'm going through hell
Thinking about you with somebody else
Somebody wants you
Somebody needs you
Somebody dreams about you every single night
Somebody cant breathe
Without you it's lonely
Somebody hopes that one day you will see
That somebody's me
How, how did we go wrong
It was so good, and now it's gone
And I pray at night that our path's soon will cross
What we had isn't lost
Cause you are always right here in my thoughts
hazy | rosi golan
What if I fall and hurt myself
Would you know how to fix me
What if I went and lost myself
Would you know where to find me
If forgot who I am
Would you please remind me
Cause without you things go hazy
little house | amanda seyfreid
I love this place
But it's haunted without you
My tired heart is beating so slow
Our hearts sing less than we wanted
We wanted
Our hearts sing 'cause
We do not know
You can catch me
Don't you run
The fire's here to stay
To light the night
To help us grow
Please don't make a fuss
It won't go away
The wonder of it all
The wonder that I made
I am here to stay
two is better than one | boys like girls feat. taylor swift
I remember every look upon your face
The way you roll your eyes
The way you taste
You make it hard for breathing
Cause when I close my eyes and drift away
I think of you and everything's okay
I'm finally now believing
That maybe it's true
That I can't live without you
And maybe two is better than one
But there's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
And I'm thinking two is better than one
stolen | dashboard confessional feat. lulu
This one only gets one line, but this song is in here because of the melody, and the feelings it inspires (in me, at least) rather than fitting lyrics. Plus it's in my Top 10 All Time Favourite Songs and I'd given up hope of ever using it in a mix so it's damn well going in here.
Watch you spin around in your highest heels
You are the best one of the best ones

Also. In case it's not already obvious, I'm crazy anal about this stuff. I love casting people, so very, very much. Drizzle and Mac both have that crazy blonde/brunette tween hair. It all depends on the lighting as to what colour it really appears to be. For clarity, Drizzle has dark blonde hair and Mac is ambiguously brunette. It's much more obvious/pronounced in the album art. So stick with that. And you get one guess which of them is the popular girl and which is the hopeless romantic who sits in the back of class drawing on her jeans.
I think long and hard about these things. Don't judge me.
