I've always had this weird fascination for mixtapes. It started in the spn rps fandom where I downloaded one or two fanmixes; and i simply adored them. In the Merlin fandom they are much more present and the ones I downloaded there have really showed me how much fun you can have with them. I'm addicted to music, have been for as long as I could remember, and so I've been playing with the thought of making my own mixtape for a little while. Last night I posted a meme in my personal journal where people could request things from me and I got two fanmix requests; one from
roguemouse for a Bradley/Colin fanmix and one from
kikai_no_yume requesting a Merlin (Merlin/Freya) one. At first I thought this wouldn't be easy, but then later when I was trying to fall asleep all these songs came to mind and I just couldn't stop thinking about this fanmix anymore.
And so these fanmixes were born rather easily. I'm not sure if they're any good, but these are all songs I've adored for a long time :) so I hope you guys will enjoy them too.

MF oo1.
Adele - Chasing Pavements. I've made up my mind,
No need to think it over.
If i'm wrong I am right,
No need to look no further.
This ain't lust,
This is love but.
oo2.
Chairlift - Bruises. I tried to do handstands for you;
But every time I fell for you.
I'm permanently black and blue, permanently blue for you.
oo3.
Blink 182 - First Date. When you smile, I melt inside.
I'm not worthy for a minute of your time.
I really wish it was only me and you.
I'm jealous of everybody in the room.
Please don't look at me with those eyes.
Please don't hint that you're capable of lies.
I dread the thought of our very first kiss.
A target that i'm probably gonna miss.
oo4.
Caesars palace - Jerk it out. No I can't hear nothing; cause I got my head up in the clouds.
I'll bite of anything that I can chew.
I'm chasing cars up and down the avenue.
but that's okay.
oo5.
Meatloaf - Paradise by the Dashboard lights. Do you love me?
Will you love me forever?
Do you need me?
Will you never leave me?
Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life?
I gotta know right now!
oo6.
Joshua Radin - Only you. All I needed was the love you gave,
All I needed for another day,
And all I ever knew,
Only you.
oo7.
Tori Amos - Sorta Fairytale. I pulled back the hood
and I was talking to you;
And I knew then it would be
a life long thing.
oo8.
Rusted Root - Send me on my way. I would like to reach out my hand.
I may see you, I may tell you to run.
You know what they say about the young.
oo9.
Bon Iver - Blindsided. Would you really rush out for me now?
o10.
Broder Daniel - Whirlwind. The only one I love;
was a superstar.
o11.
Paul Kalkbrenner - Sky and Sands. I found myself alive,
in the palm of your hand.
As long as we are flying,
All this world ain't got no end.

SS oo1.
Empire of the sun - Walking on a dream. Is it real now;
When two people become one.
I can feel it:
When two people become one.
oo2.
Tommy James & The Shondells - Crimson and Clover. Now I don't hardly know her,
But I think I could love her.
oo3.
Mum - We have a map of the piano. Please don't flow so fast,
You little mountain noise.
I'll close my eyes and bite your tongue.
oo4.
The Fray - Over my head (Cable car). Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head.
With eight seconds left in overtime,
She's on your mind.
oo5.
Foo Fighters - Wheels. Well I wanted something better man
I wished for something new
And I wanted something beautiful
And wish for something true
Been lookin' for a reason man
Something to lose
oo6.
Bon Iver - Skinny Love. I tell my love to wreck it all
Cut out all the ropes and let me fall
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Right in the moment this order's tall
oo7.
Regina Spector - Samson. You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first
oo8.
The Calling - Wherever you will go. If I could turn back time
I'll go wherever you will go
If I could make you mine
I'll go wherever you will go.
oo9.
Millow - Out of my hands. An empty house, a setting sun
At four a.m.
Some battles fought are battles won
But this ain't one of them
One more shadow cast
You went down so fast
You went down so fast.
o10.
Lamb - Gorecki. If I should die this very moment
I wouldn’t fear
For I’ve never known completeness
Like being here
Wrapped in the warmth of you
Loving every breath of you
Still in my heart this moment
Or it might burst
Could we stay right here
Until the end of time until the earth stops turning
Wanna love you until the seas run dry
I’ve found the one I’ve waited for
o11.
Sinéad O'Connor - Troy. I know you're always telling me
That you love me
Just sometimes I wonder
If I should believe
Oh, I love you
God, I love you
I'd kill a dragon for you
I'll die
But I will rise
And I will return
The Phoenix from the flame
I feel like this last fanmix needs a little explanation.
kikai_no_yume asked for: Merlin/Freya: Something light themed, like when Merlin had a bounce in his steps and hummed because he was so happy. Before she died. That's basically the first couple of songs; then the songs turn a little darker and deal with loss of a loved one; and then near the end they're more about finding a new love. And you all know who I'm talking about; -coughs- I'm a slash girl, okay? I can't change overnight XD That and I don't really have a lot of happy-love-songs.
Anyway, I hope
roguemouse and
kikai_no_yume like these songs I picked out for their fanmixes and the graphics I made XD. And that anyone else who downloads these enjoys them too ^_^
