fanmix: it's a whole other company (band of brothers)
Oh, another fanmix! If my GPA suffers this semester, clearly, we know why.
I guess a little foreword to the mix that is to follow: I have no idea why I spent so much time working and thinking about this. Let's just say I started with like 50+ songs and somehow managed to wheedle it down to 21. Which is still kinda a lot, but whatever. Um! It's image heavy, way image heavy, and each song is available individually. Enjoy!
IT'S A WHOLE OTHER COMPANY; zip file
I treasure my remark to a grandson who asked, "Grandpa, were you a hero in the war?"
"No," I answered, "but I served in a company of heroes."
oo1. MISADVENTURES OF THE CAMPAIGN KIDS; king of prussia
we anticipate reactions to our points before the guns are drawn
that's preemption of our own
oo2. WHEN THE SHIP COMES IN; bob dylan
then they'll raise their hands, sayin' we'll meet all your demands
but we'll shout from the bow your days are numbered
and like pharoh's tribe, they'll be drowned in the tides
and like goliath they'll be conquered
- Don't do anything stupid? Who the hell does he think he's talking to? A bunch of morons who
volunteered to jump out of a perfectly good airplane. Can you get any more stupid than that?
- Probably not.
oo3. KEEP YOUR EYES AHEAD; the helio sequence
don't look back when you hear it -
you'll go back when you hear again
oo4. WATERLOO SUNSET; the kinks
and they don't feel afraid
as long as they gaze at
waterloo sunset - they are in paradise
oo5. THE LUCKY ONE; au revoir simone
so let the sun shine, let it come
to show us that tomorrow is eventual
we know it when the day is done
We're paratroopers, Lieutenant. We're supposed to be surrounded.
oo6. THE URGENCY OF NOW; the second band
i left town on the first of march
drove to paris in my old car
to see if i could find something in my heart
oo7. THAT'S WHEN I REACH FOR MY REVOLVER; moby
mother taught me patience, the virtues of restraint
father taught us boundaries, the knowledge we must go
oo8. BROKEN WINDOW; arcade fire
if they want it they can take it, they don't need no reason why
the night they took you from me i saw the broken window and i cried
oo9. HISTORY SONG; the good, the band and the queen
a storm upstream's far away
the hangers-on save the day
We weren't particularly elated at being here. Rumors are that Krauts are everywhere and hitting hard.
Farthest from your mind is the thought of falling back. In fact it isn't there at all. And so you dig your hole
carefully and deep, and wait, not for that mythical super man, but for the enemy you had beaten twice before
and will again.
(Currahee Scrapbook)
o1o. JOHNNY; gowns
with your guns and drums and drums and guns
the enemy nearly slew you
my darling dear you look so queer -
johnny, i hardly knew you
o11. ALL IS VIOLENT, ALL IS BRIGHT; god is an astronaut
instrumental
o12. WHERE IS HOME?; bloc party
in every headline we are reminded that this is not home for us
...[there was] more time for thinking and more loneliness in foxholes at the front than in secure homes,
and time is measured in other ways than by clocks and calendars.
(Glenn Gray)
o13. HOME OF THE BRAVE; spiritzualized
i'm gonna rip it up, tear it out
gotta get it off of my soul
o14. REQUIEM; m. ward
well, in war he was a tiger
when it was over like a dove
he summoned all his strength in the climb
it suffered all of his strength in the fall
o15. KISS OF DEATH; john murphy
instrumental
There were missing chairs at home. They belonged to the men who had been killed,
badly wounded, or had broken.
(Stephen Ambrose)
o16. THIS IS HOW IT GOES; aimee mann
this is how it goes
you'll get angry with yourself
and think you can think of something else
and i'll hear the clanging of the bells
o17. KNOCKIN' ON HEAVEN'S DOOR; bob dylan
mama, put my guns in the ground
i can't use them anymore
that long black cloud is coming down
i feel i'm knockin' on heaven's door
o18. PAPER SCARS; lovedrug
fall into pairs like ugly fish
too rare for extinction, i know
Accepting the absurdity of everything around us is one step, a necessary experience:
it should not become a dead end.
(Albert Camus)
o19. LAST FLOWERS TILL THE HOSPITAL; radiohead
and i can't face the evening straight
you cannot for me escape
houses move and houses speak
if you take me there you'll get relief
o2o. THE FUNERAL AT SEA; the second band
the great storm has abated
the drizzle fills the air
This night has spread the morning far beyond despair
o21. IN OUR BEDROOM AFTER THE WAR; stars
and if there's no one there, then there's no one there
but at least the war is over
it's us
yes, we're back again
here to see you through, till the day's end
and if the night comes - and the night will come
well at least the war is over
Men, it's been a long war, it's been a tough war. You've fought bravely, proudly for your country. You're a special group.
You've found in one another a bond, that exists only in combat -
among brothers.
