OOC : Wanda's Playlist

[daughter_of_m]

This is mostly for tm_rogue who asked for it and semihero_pietro who didn't know most of my music - but of course it's fun for all :)

I am addicted to fanmixing and I have seriously over 50 songs that "belong" to Wanda (Someday I'm going to put together all my Wanda mixes and playlists and create a huge all encompassing story-mix). So this is just a taste as it were, and specifically related to the Wanda found here in TM-Land.

[Intro]

Humpty Dumpty, Aimee Mann

Say you were split, you were split in fragments
And none of the pieces would talk to you
Wouldn't you want to be who you had been?
Well, baby I want that, too

So better take the keys and drive forever
Staying won't put these futures back together
All the perfect drugs and superheroes
Wouldn't be enough to bring me up to zero

[Magneto]

Confessions of a Broken Heart (Daughter to Father), Lindsay Lohan

I dream of another you the one who would never (never)
Leave me alone to pick up the pieces
A daddy to hold me, that's what I needed

This is the title track for my first Wanda mix. It's pretty obvious.

Destroyed, Within Temptation

Did you ever look behind?
Aren't you afraid of the pieces you'll find?
I have failed you
But you have failed me too
It's so easy to destroy and condemn
The ones you do not understand
Do you ever wonder if it's justified?

Okay this song is seriously ABOUT Magneto and his children. I refuse to believe otherwise.

[Pietro]

Lose Your Way, Sophie B. Hawkins

And when you cry I feel the sky
Burst open in my veins
If loving you makes a slave of me
Then I'll spend my whole life in chains

Wanda is Pietro's whole world.

Pills, The Perishers

I hope my smile can distract you
I hope my fists can fight for two
So it never has to show
And you’ll never know

This is a circa House of M song, Pietro will do anything to save his sister. They're so screwed up.

Not Like the Other Girls, The Rasmus

No more blame, I am destined to keep you sane
Gotta rescue the flame
Gotta rescue the flame in your heart
No more blood, I will be there for you my love
I will stand by your side
The world has forsaken my girl

My favorite Wanda&Pietro song. Sometimes I give it to others in her life but it always comes back to Pietro because I honestly believe no one could ever love her as much as he does. And he will spend his last breath trying to save her from herself.

[Steve]

To Be Loved, Curtis Stiger

You deserve to be loved
You deserve something real
Time to heal
Time to feel

I admit these two are my Avengers OTP. I | starspangledcap for playing along! This song is about life's pressures and looking for love where you can.

So She Dances, Josh Groban

A waltz for the chance i should take
But how will i know where to start?
She's spinning between constellations and dreams
Her rhythm is my beating heart

And this is the should we or shouldn't we song. I used it in my wallpaper.

This track got left out of the zip accidentally so it can be d/l by itself here.

[Wanda]

Nobody's Home, Avril Lavigne

I couldn't tell you why she felt that way,
She felt it everyday.
And I couldn't help her,
I just watched her make the same mistakes again.

This song has belonged to Wanda since I first heard it.

Everything Burns, Ben Moody featuring Anastacia

Til everything burns while everyone screams
Burning their lies, burning my dreams
All of this hate and all of this pain
I'll burn it all down as my anger reigns

This song represents Avengers Disassembled.

Wanda, Lunchboxx

There are precious few decisions that Wanda has to make
Her life controlled by demons, both the sleeping and awake
Whatever's gonna happen it's gonna happen fast
It always does, it never seems to last

This song represents the post-Disassembled/pre-House of M Wanda and is the first example of "don't name your kid Wanda". So sad and if it weren't written before House of M came out I'd think it was literally written for her.

Let Go, Frou Frou

So, let go,let go
Jump in - oh well, what you waiting for?
It's all right
'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown

Here we have post-House of M Wanda, where I began with her in TM (and my journal title).

Never Far Behind, Aly&AJ

I am sending you a message
Don't ever think that it's too late
When you care about someone
There is always room for change
You're allowed to make mistakes
It's a part of every life
I don't see you any different
The truth is shining in your eyes

And here's where we are in the current TM story with all the various muses trying to bring Wanda back to herself. This song would (probably will, knowing me) be the first song on the House of TM mix - it can be seen from the pov of Wanda's friends to her and Wanda to them. They all want to fix each other.

[Coda]
Out of My League, Stephen Speaks

All the times I have sat and stared
As she thoughtfully thumbs through her hair
And she purses her lips, bats her eyes as she plays,
With me sitting there slack-jawed and nothing to say
Cause I love her with all that I am

I wanted to end on a positive note. I don't know why this song says Wanda to me except that I can imagine the above stanza representing an Avengers meeting and being from the pov of nearly any of them. Wanda is magical and everyone loves her, even now.

Super Secret Bonus Track:

[Pyro]
Wanda, Brian Stace

Why do you hurt me and treat me like you do?
What have I ever done to deserve this from you?
Would you do the things you do
If you were me and I were you?

For every action there is reaction
Broken hearts don't just happen

Hee - this is only here 'cause TM Pyro likes to make fun of TM Wanda - this is another "don't name your kid Wanda" super-depressing song.
