Oh, the boys on the radio. They crash and burn, they fold and fade so slow.
(SIGH. FIXED and re-posted. Sorry if you saw it before, but I'm such a hopeless perfectionist.)
I made one a while back for Super Junior, so I figured I might as well make a fanmix for SHINee (since they're currently my only fandom that hasn't imploded with scandal and drama.) I don't know how to make those nifty cd covers so I just included a picture of the band in case you have no idea who they are.
22 songs. Intro + 4 songs per band member + Outro. Heavy quotation of lyrics. I'll leave it up to you to decide whether the songs were chosen from the guys' povs or fangirls' pov (I think some are obvious and some are less so), loooool. ;D
Boys On The Radio
Onew + Taemin + Minho + Jonghyun + Key
Intro.
Boys On the Radio - Hole
Do what you want, 'cause I'll do anything and I'll take the blame. What's mine is yours, you can have all of it and I learned to beg. I want what's yours, oh, I'd give anything and I'll take the pain. I wait alone for what will never come and I throw it all away. If I let you in under my skin and risen every angel slain. He said he'd never ever go, heavens no, never ever go away. Baby, I've gone away. Oh, the boys on the radio. They crash and burn, they fold and fade so slow. In your endless summer night, I'll be on the other side. When you're beautiful and dying, all the world that you've denied. When the water is too deep, you can close your eyes and really sleep tonight. I know where you are running to, please come back, oh, come back again. I hear the truth, it's coming from you, oh, come back, come back again. In your endless summer night, I'll be on the other side. When the water is too deep, I will ease your suffering. When the glitter fades in morning, turn away and you will find my empty eyes. Your beauty blinds.
I know that you are rotten to the core.
I know that you don't love me anymore.
I know that you are rotten to the core.
{This song is the embodiment and summation of a kpop fan(atic)girl's state of mind on any given day. Adoration and entitlement. Desire and fury. Wild joy (commonly known as 'unf' or 'squee') when they make us happy and empty bitterness when they don't or can't. Intended to be tongue-in-cheek, of course, just like the entirety of this fanmix.}
Onew.
Instant Pleasure - Seth Swirsky
All I want to do is paint, but I hear the pay ain't great. I think I'll do it anyway. I go to Starbucks and hope some girl notices me. I try to sit cool, but that's not really cool. All I want is someone to love me and give me sex whenever I want it.
Motorcycle Emptiness - Manic Street Preachers
Each day living out a lie. Life sold cheaply forever, ever, ever. Just like lungs sucking on air. Survival's natural as sorrow, sorrow, sorrow. Living life like a comatose. Ego loaded and swallow, swallow, swallow. Under neon loneliness, motorcycle emptiness. Under neon loneliness, everlasting nothingness. All we want from you are the kicks you've given us.
Iron Flower - K's Choice
Thunder please explain why you ask me how I am, I'm fine. My youth, it is gone, it's a boot stuck in the ground. I will try hard to be a spark of power. I will never be your iron flower. Stone please explain why your silence makes more noise than thunder. Bones is it sane to obey me and the flesh you're under?
Voices - Jon Brion
Hey, it's me again. Plain to see again. Please can I see you every day? I'm a fool again. I fell in love with you again. Please can I see you every day? You didn't know what you were looking for until you heard the voices in your ears. Words don't come out right. I try to say it all so right. I hope you understand my meaning.
Jonghyun.
Multiply (Gonzales mix) - Jamie Lidell
Well, I'm sure it never used to be so hard, this hard. I used to get those kicks for free, but now I'm towing the line. This ain't no way to be, stuck between my shadow and me. I'll put it where the sun don't shine, although I'll tell you that I'm doing fine. I'm so tired of repeating myself, beating myself up. Wanna take a trip and multiply, at least go under with a smile.
It's Not the Spotlight - Beth Orton
It's not the spolight. It's not the candlelight. It's not the streetlights of some old street of dreams. It ain't the moonlight, not even the sunlight. But I've seen it shining in your eyes and you know what I mean. Sometimes I try to tell myself the light was never real. Just a fantasy that used to be the way I used to feel. But you and I know better even though it's been so long. Now if your memory really serves you well, you'll never tell me no wrong.
Time (The Revelator) - Ryan Adams (Gillian Welch cover)
Darling, remember when you come to me, I'm a pretender, I'm not what I'm supposed to be. But who could know if I'm a traitor? Time's the revelator.
Gypsy - Suzanne Vega
You're the jester of this courtyard with a smile like a girl's. Distracted by the women with the dimples and the curls. By the pretty and the mischievous, by the timid and the blessed. By the blowing skirts of ladies who promise to gather you to their breast. You have hands of raining water and that earring in your ear. The wisdom on your face denies the number of your years. With the fingers of the potter and the laughing tale of the fool. The arranger of disorder with your strange and simple rules. With a long and slender body and the sweetest, softest hands. And we'll blow away forever soon and go on to different lands. And please do not ever look for me, but with me you will stay. And you will hear yourself in song blowing by one day.
Key.
Robotboy - Robyn
Hey now, boy, where you been? Smashed up toy, are you lost again? Your circuit's blown, will you find your coordinates home? Your battery's low, did you crash again? Robotboy, do you need a friend? Hey, little droid, is your head on wrong? Hey, little prince, you lost control. Calendar boy, are you growing old? Your radar's jammed, shut your lasers down while you can. Hush now, boy, please give in. Robotboy, you've reached the end. Hey, little droid, let your x-ray shine.
Your Perfect Gene - Junior Bloomsday feat. Cadence Weapon
I wanna wreck you clean, covered up in dopamine. I wanna touch your perfect gene. The wolf who called me on my home phone said yeah, I'm interested in your bones. I wanna pick them clean, cover them in vaseline, then I'll have a pure machine.
Poor Boy - Tara MacLean
Poor boy, no one on his arm. He's got tongue for talent, got head off and your feet on. You want it, hungry now and begging for the skin. You wrap me in, take a look, take a lick, mmm, it's the cure for anything. You want my deepest thoughts, wanna catch me hot, well everybody's got their going rate. You said, you said I feel good all over. You said, you said there's never been another like me, like me, there's nobody like me. Baby, it's such a shame that you can't say the same.
Penitent - Suzanne Vega
Once I stood alone so proud, held myself above the crowd, and now I'm low on the ground. The mother and the matador, the mystic each were here before like me to stare you down. You appear without a face, disappear but leave your trace, I feel your unseen frown. I look for you in heathered moor, the desert, and the ocean floor, how low does one heart go? Forgive me all my blindnesses, my weakness and unkindnesses as yet unbending still. Struggling so hard to see, my fist against eternity, and will you break my will? Now what would you have me do? I ask you please. I wait to hear your voice, the word you say, I wait to see your sign, could I obey?
Minho.
Glory Box - John Martyn (Portishead cover)
I'm so tired of playing, playing with this bow and arrow. Gonna give my heart away, leave it to the other boys to play. I've been tempted too long, go on and give me a reason to love you. Give me a reason to want to be your man. Give me a reason, if you can. Try a little tenderness. I wouldn't care, only cry for you, cry for you. I might die for you too. Give me a reason to love you. Give me a reason, if you can.
Wake Up - Morel
You're tired and don't you know that when you wake he'll go? You're safe in there, where you lie, and when you wake you hear a cry. You called for love outside my door, an angel tells you there's no more love for the soft-core. It's time to wake up. So you see the dreams that you had never are gonna come true.
Hit - The Sugarcubes
This wasn't supposed to happen. I was happy by myself. Accidentally, you seduced me, I'm in love again. I lie in my bed totally still, my eyes wide open, I'm in rapture. This wasn't supposed to happen! How could you do this to me?
Go Your Own Way - The Cranberries (Fleetwood Mac cover)
Loving you isn't the right thing to do. How can I ever change things that I feel? If I could, maybe I'd give you my world. How can I when you won't take it from me? You can go your own way, you can call it another lonely day. Tell me why everything turned around? Packing up, shacking up is all you wanna do. If I could, baby, I'd give you my world. Open up, everything's waiting for you.
Taemin.
Head On - The Jesus and Mary Chain
As soon as I get my head round you, I come around catching sparks off you. I get an electric charge from you. This secondhand living just won't do. And the way I feel tonight, oh, I could die and I wouldn't mind. And there's something going on inside, makes you wanna feel, makes you wanna try, makes you wanna blow the stars from the sky. I can't stand up, I can't cool down, I can't get my head off the ground. As soon as I get my head round you, I come around catching sparks off you and all I ever got from you is all I ever took from you. And the world could die in pain and I wouldn't feel no shame. And there's nothing holding me to blame. Makes you wanna feel, makes you wanna try, makes you wanna blow the stars from the sky.
Sexy Boy - Scala Choir & Kolacny Brothers (Air cover)
Lyrics unnecessary and therefore, omitted.
Everywhere - Paul Devro (Fleetwood Mac cover)
Can you hear me calling out your name? You know that I've fallen and I don't know what to say. I'll speak a little louder, I'll even shout. You know that I'm proud and I can't get the words out. Something's happening, happening to me. My friends say I'm acting peculiarly.
Black Eyed Boy - Texas
No, I don't lack ambition. Can't you see what I hate? That it's you who is sinking, locked behind iron gates. You call me superstitious, tie me up with your deceit. I could never be malicious, though I seem so bittersweet. You should know you're falling into fiction. I can tell you're on some foolish mission. Your black eyed soul, you should know that there's nowhere else to go. My black eyed boy, you will find your own space and time.
Outro.
Replay (Rock remix) - SHINee
