mix & picspam; (rock and roll, my) little girl
title: (rock and roll, my) little girl
pairing: will/rachel
fandom: glee
warnings: teacher/student relationship
spoilers: none
notes: after the will/puck mix i did, i had to do one for my otp. i suppose this is almost an alternative version to that mix, although it follows a different storyline. title from the amazing song by robert francis which prompted this whole mix. even if you don't download this, just please go youtube that song because it's stunning.
front cover | back cover
as usual the story this mix conveys (or, i hope it does at least) is totally AU but i tried to twist certain scenes in the show so it's as close to canon as possible without actually being canon. i worry sometimes that i make this far too complicated to be understood simply through graphics/songs :/ i hope it makes sense. if worst comes to worst, you can always ask and i'll just spell out the plot with words lol.
originally this whole thing was in colour, but then, i don't know, black and white seemed to fit them better so i took all colour out apart from that one image in the last panel, which i don't think i've ever done before. i've also included a lot of songs with female vocals because i feel that was the best way to express rachel (not simply because duh, she's female, but she just begs for something lighter.) that's another first for me too.
the last panel was thrown in at the very last minute; i was going to end it with 'darkness into day' but i decided i wanted an optional optimistic future-ending too. this pairing has enough angst attached already :')
keri noble - talk to me
there you are again
I see you all the time
we haven't really met yet
but you know, I don't mind
'cause I think today's the day
tristan prettyman ft. jason mraz - shy that way
there's always too much talking
and I wanna just keep walking
but I keep staring baby
keep staring
though I may not know the right things to say
I'll get it out to you one day
alanis morisette - hands clean (acoustic)
you're essentially an employee and I like you having to depend on me
you're kind of my protege and one day you'll say you learned all you know from me
I know you depend on me like a young thing would to a guardian
I know you sexualize me like a young thing would and I think I like it
this could get messy
but you don't seem to mind
crash parallel - see right through me
well I can hide out in your eyes
and pick out all the things that I like
well I know you're just a friend and nothing more
so what am I fighting this time
am I falling too fast?
am I falling too hard?
did I think this through?
I never think things through
trapt - ready when you are
are you having trouble keeping up
seeing this thing through
I want to know who you're running from, me or you
you're too confused to open up, feel the way I do
I want to know who you're thinking of 'cause I really have no clue
kate nash - nicest thing
all I know is that you're so nice
you're the nicest thing I've seen
I wish that we could give it a go
see if we could be something
he is we - happily ever after (acoustic)
skip to the ending
who'd like to know?
I'd like to know
are there other moments?
can you tell me, do i end up
do i end up happy?
inhale, breathe steady, exhale
like we're ready, if you're ready or not
snow patrol - grazed knees
I should've said I'd not come back here
your breakfast will get cold
I really have to go
it's easier to lie and be safe
time and time again I'm half stalled
one giant leap of faith is easy
when everyone you ask is so sure
onerepublic - all we are
you were shaded with patience
your strokes of everything that I need just to make it
and I can see that
lord knows i've failed you, time and again
but you and me are alright
we won't say our goodbye's
you know it's better that way
we won't break, we won't die
it's just a moment of change
robert francis - little girl
you were just too young and just too smart
probably the best candidate for a broken heart
rock and roll my little girl
rock and roll in your big big world
in a drunken state I call your name
from the bottom of my soul to the blood in my veins
those days in the car when I couldn't pull through
you sang to me and all I wanted was you
the canvas waiting - darkness into day
I wish I had met you years ago
I could have used more time with such a gentle soul
but if I had met you years ago would you still be someone I know
I wish you had met me years ago because I was better then
and I've been here before but its different
and I lost myself in search of this
now I'm losing you and I don’t know what to say
and you don’t know what to think
so we let it fade
bonus:
goo goo dolls - still your song
the time that I've wasted so bitter and faithless
is wearing me down now, down now
so can you hear me, would you sing along
or turn me down, forget I ever wrote this for you
so can you hear me or has it been too long
I know that I was wrong
and this is still your song
