unspoiled monsters, a red garden fanmix
I am not quite sure how this was inspired, it just came to me from nowhere, but I thought I should show a good dedication to a series that I have loved for years. I tried to tell a story with both the songs and the series itself, because the underlying story of the series is definitely one that is hidden in the most subtle moments. One single point drawing to an entire story with wonderful depth.
A gift for my best friend in the entire world, bingomassacre (who rewatched the series with me this month), I present to you:

( a red garden fanmix )
the beginning
her space holiday - the young machines
New York, 2010. A mysterious string of supposed suicides seem to be showing up more and more, but a deeper meaning behind these "suicides" holds a completely different world―a world full of an age-end battle for survival. Four girls, connected by the death of their friend, find themselves piecing together the pieces of this world while trying to hold onto the threads of their old one.

The woman in the suit announces their deaths, tells them of their borrowed lives, of how they must fight to live. For she, and all the ones who precede and succeed her, must do the same.
the fights
justice - genesis
Men with sharp teeth, dog-like features, who seem to still resemble human men in some strange way. A red flower brings the butterflies at night, calling the girls with their nervous hands and tired minds; an eye for an eye, a life for a life.
hervé girardot
bloc party - hunting for witches (crystal castles remix)
hervé and lise
cleast eatwood - rabbit hole
animus and doral
skrillex - scary monsters and nice sprites
A battle between two families―Montagues and Capulets―one cursed with immortality and the other with a dying lineage. A young handsome man dedicated to his sister and the quiet girl who knows nothing more than her simple life, in which she will forget entirely.
(A curse upon both your houses)

cut copy - hearts on fire
kate ashley
la roux - reflections are protections
rose sheedy
antony and the johnsons - swanlights
rachel benning
sefiros - too late
claire forrest
emancipator - soon it will be cold enough to build fires
the final battle
air - talisman
I'll kill you as many time as it takes, he tells her.
To which, she replies, And I'll come back every time!
epilogue
the kilimanjaro darkjazz ensemble - embers
The battle has been won, but the victory is bittersweet. The brother cannot save his sister, the girls will not remember who they are, but here the five of them stand―together―hand-in-hand. The connection between them sinks into the ground, becoming nothing but ash scattering in the wind.
The red flowers begin to bloom, cascading over the entire island, as the four girls wake up to a new beginning.
