I've finally finished my wartime gen mix, which i've been working on on and off for the past like...6 months. Big thank you to
euterpeslullaby for the helping me hunt down appropriate songs!
01. James Blunt - No Bravery
Tracer lighting up the sky / It's another families' turn to die / A child afraid to even cry out says / He has been here
02. Ray LaMontagne - How Come
Government man spin his politics till he got you pinned / Everybody trying to reach out to each other / But they don't know where to begin
03. U2 - Sunday Bloody Sunday
And the battle's just begun / There's many lost, but tell me who has won? / The trench is dug within our hearts / And mothers, children, brothers, sisters / Torn apart
04. Grant Lee Phillips - Mobilize
My enemy is part of me / The last one that I wish to meet / In battle face to face
05. The Decemberists - The Soldiering Life
I never felt so much life / Than tonight / Huddled in the trenches / Gazing on the battle field / Our rifles blaze away / We blaze away
06. Poets of the Fall - Maybe Tomorrow is a Better Day
I do not deal the cards and I play a lousy hand / I celebrate no victories and my promises are sand
07. Dashboard Confessional - Several Ways To Die Trying
They're burning the roads they built to lead us to the light / And blinding our hearts with their shining lies / while closing our caskets cold and tight / But I'm dying to live
08. Placebo - The Bitter End
Everytime we're intercepted / Feels more like suicide / Slow and sad, come in silence / Arise a bitter mine / (See you at the bitter end)
09. Charlotte Martin - Steel
Well I've seen hell and back / I've hidden in the dark / With no one there at all, all, all / I've scraped us back to life / I've laced up both my boots / So try and twist the knife, knife, knife
10. Sarah Slean - Pilgrim
My disaster has come and gone / It left me / By the roadside / With my shadow / And one more song
11. Stars - Celebration Guns
So tomorrow there will be another number / for the one who had a name / a desert wind and a perverse desire to win / history buried in shame
12. Belle and Sebastian - I Fought In A War
I fought in a war, and I didn't know where it would end / It stretched before me infinitely, I couldn't really think / Of the day beyond now, keep your head down pal / There's trouble plenty in this hour, this day / I can see hope I can see light
