006. Fanmix: Carter/Blair: I Know the Places You Call Home
Medium: Television
Fandom: Gossip Girl
Subject: Carter Baizen/Blair Waldorf
Title: I Know the Places You Call Home
Notes: I like the idea of Carter's wanderlust being a product of loneliness and Blair relating to that, even as she's the one that is drawing back to the lifestyle that he sincerely wanted to abandon once--hence the title of the mix. The order of the songs kind of has a significance, although maybe that's just in my head. It's supposed to start with Blair at the bar during the end of "Age of Dissonance" and continues to when Chuck finds her and Carter together before becoming AU when Carter realizes that Blair is possibly using him, although initially it doesn't matter. They somehow hightail it out of Manhattan, at which point Blair starts to feel uneasy about their non-relationship and bails, just as Carter is getting attached...or something like that. Yeah, IDRK.
"Starter" - The Cardigans (mp4)
New beginning again
A bit closer to the end
"Send Him Away" - Franz Ferdinand*
I don't mean to claim or own you
Or maybe I would like to
But I need whatever side of love is there
*Kind of Carter/Blair/Chuck
"Toxic" - Yael Naim
With a taste of your lips, I’m on a ride
You're toxic, I'm slipping under
"Vicious Streak" - New Order
My aim is true
My vision is clear
My thoughts are crude
Whenever you're near
"Lasso" - Phoenix
Wear your real eyes
No, you don’t realize
What you say yes to
But you say yes too
"Last Day of Magic" - The Kills
What if you move
What if you hide
There's only so much you can miss
Before we both collide
"Turn It On" - Franz Ferdinand
I'll never be alone, yeah (Turn it on)
You know I follow you to Rome, yeah (Turn it on)
I know the places you call home, yeah (Turn it on)
You know I'll get you on your own, yeah (Turn it on)
"What Ever Happened?" - The Strokes (mp4)
I wanna be beside her
She wanna be admired
You say, "Please don't make this harder"
No, I won't yet
