welcome to the hamptons || a fanmix for the show revenge
a childhood, amanda's innocence, all taken too soon.
taylor swift ft. the civil wars || safe & sound
don't you dare look out your window
darling, everything's on fire
the war outside our door keeps raging on
hold onto this lullaby
even when the music's gone, gone
reminded every day that she was the daughter of a "terrorist."
gary jules || mad world
their tears are filling up their glasses
no expression, no expression
hide my head, i want to drown my sorrow
no tomorrow, no tomorrow
time to face the graysons. amanda's been preparing her whole life for this.
muse || hysteria
yeah, it's holdin' me
morphin' me
and forcin' me to strive
to be endlessly
cold within
and dreaming i'm alive
the hamptons: where everyone's hiding a secret and their deepest vices.
placebo || post blue
it's in the water baby
it's in the pills that pick you up
it's in the water baby
it's in the special way we fuck
it's in the water baby
it's in your family tree
it's in the water baby
it's between you and me
daniel meets "emily" (and this fits, in essence, the guise of their relationship).
the fratellis || chelsea dagger
chelsea, chelsea, i believe
that when your dancin' slowly, suckin' your sleeve
the boys get lonely after you leave
it's one for the dagger and another for the one you believe
setting aside the plan for something amanda didn't expect: jack. love. them.
girl named toby || holding a heart
give in, it's so hard to start
live in my skin
the bruises are useless
against it
i'll try all I can to find a soft place to land
come down, come down, come down
steered off course, but amanda had to pick up the pieces and move on.
starsailor || i don't know
i don't know what love is
i don't know what love is
i don't know what love is
but i think i had it
retribution is the only thing keeping her going.
snow patrol || ways & means
i never knew the taste of blood 'til now
it's clear i never should've known
breathing fire was never this much fun
so there's a dark side in us all
maybe i can do it
if i put my back into it
i can leave here if i wanted
but there's nowhere else i can go
as indestructible as amanda is, she's also vulnerable. broken. nolan sees it.
sia || i'm in here (piano version)
i'm crying out
i'm backing down
i am feeling it all
stuck inside these walls
tell me there is hope for me
is anybody out there listening?
everyone's sacrificed to be a sinner here.
florence + the machine || seven devils
seven devils all around you
seven devils in your house
see i was dead when i woke up this morning
and i'll be dead before the day is done

notes: for tvholics. this fanmix was my attempt to "lay out," timeline-wise, some parts of amanda's life that shaped the show, since she's the character the show is centered on. but there are a few songs dedicated to revenge in general. i don't usually post these in my journal because i like to keep my graphics stuff separate from my personal stuff, but i was pretty proud of how this turned out, so... i hope you guys don't mind.
i wanted to pick a mix of softer and "harder" songs because revenge is basically full of ups and downs, love and heartbreak, truths and lies, and flawless take-charge women and nolan and their vulnerabilities. i could also imagine each of these songs being in the actual soundtrack, and i really wanted them to fit that kind of feel.
"seven devils" is a bit of a cheat since it played in the season one finale, but i don't care because it's amazing and chilling and perfect for everything this show chooses to be. these songs are all from my itunes playlist because i was too lazy to seek out new ones, but that doesn't make them fit any less!
