Battlestar Galactica Fanmix - For New Caprica
oxymoronassoc and I are going to fill up the hiatus with fanmixes!! This one's spoilery if you haven't seen the finale. Very, very spoilery. We didn't plan for it to be this long, it... just kind of all added up. I hope you like it!
PART 1
The Postal Service - Brand New Colony
we'll cut our bodies free from the tethers of this scene / start a brand new colony / where everything will change
Laura Veirs - Wind is Blowing Stars
spring will come and so will fall / all my enemies have finally fled / they've finally fled and gone
The Weakerthans - Fallow
out under the disraeli, with rusty train track ties / we'll carve new streets and sidewalks, a city for small lives / and say that we'll stay for one more year
Kings of Convenience - Know How
is history recorded / does someone have a tape? / surely I'm no pioneer / constellations stay the same
Vienna Teng - Shine
in this desert land / I know some rain must fall / see where we began / we've come so far / on this harbor shore / we hear the ocean call / in our minds at war / we have so far to go
The Arcade Fire - Neighbourhood #1 (tunnels)
and since there's no one else around / we let our hair grow long / and forget all we used to know / then our skin gets thicker / from living out in the snow
Death Cab for Cutie - Blacking Out the Friction
I don't mind the weather / I've got scarves and caps and sweaters / I've got long johns under slacks for blustery days / I think that it's brainless to assume that making changes to your window's view will give a new perspective / and the hardest part is yet to come
The Lucksmiths - What You'll Miss
then you noticed the dust still dropped / and danced through the bedroom window light / it's the woodsmoke smell of winter / it's the sad things that you'll miss
Feist - Gatekeeper
well they tried to stay in from the cold and wind / making love and making their dinner / only to find that the love that they grew in the summer / froze
Sarah Slean - Eliot
workers and lovers make their living space neat / bent out of shape over what to eat / I dream of eliot but I am discrete / 'cause its sometimes wise just to shut your eyes
Mirah - Cold Cold Water
but it can be a lonely place / desire comes, desire fades / there's a bright one caught your fancy eye / it's okay so long as you stay mine
Nickel Creek - Reasons Why
I don't remember one jump or one leap / just quiet steps away from your lead / I'm holding my heart out but clutching it too / feeling this short of a love that we once knew / I'm calling this home when it's not even close / playing the role with nerves left exposed
PART 2
Grandaddy - Summer Here Kids
listen to the songs keep yourself at home / cause summer here kids / summer here totally lies / tourist info said I'd have a good time / summer here kids / all of them awful lies
Sufjan Stevens - Detroit, Lift Up Your Weary Head (Rebuild! Restore! Reconsider!)
once a great place / now a prison / all I can say / all I can do / people mover: bad decision
The Shins - Young Pilgrims
a cold and wet November dawn / and there are no barking sparrows / just emptiness to dwell upon
Ani Difranco - Worthy
look at the human race / the whole planet at arm's length / and we don't deserve this place / what good is a poker face / when you've got an open hand
Modest Mouse - Trailer Trash
eating snow flakes with plastic forks / and a paper plate of course, you think of everything / short love with a long divorce / and a couple of kids of course / they don’t mean anything / live in trailers with no class
Dar Williams - February
and february was so long that it lasted into march / and found us walking a path alone together / you stopped and pointed and you said "that's a crocus," / and I said "what's a crocus?" and you said "it's a flower" / I tried to remember, but I said "whats a flower?" / you said "I still love you."
Iron & Wine - Radio War
now we lie on the floor / while the radio war / finds its way through the air of the dead market square / and a beast never seen / licks its red talons clean / sara curses the cold / "no more snow, no more snow"
Radiohead - Street Spirit (Fade Out)
I can feel death, can see it's beady eyes / all these things into position / all these things we'll one day swallow whole / and fade out again and fade out again / immerse your soul in love
Kings of Convenience - Live Long
you looked around you, nobody had taken / any notice of what you saw / against the evening sky a formation / a million black birds looking like one
Cat Power - Evolution
better call with some resistance / better way to feel no shame / better call with some persistence / that way you feel nothing at all / better call on evolution / better way to make a revolution / better make your mind up quick
John Vanderslice - Exodus Damage
you said this would happen, and just like that, it did / wrong about the feeling, wrong about the sound / but right to say we would stand down
Antje Duvekot - Ocean
we are infants / you are old / we've been bottling mountains / now we will do as we are told / we have been fighting this no-win war / we will not fight anymore / for we have come to your shore / to lay down our swords
