Fanmix for apocabigbang

[fangie_yin]

This is a mix I made for parka_girl's apocabigbang fic. Mostly instrumental with a hint of trip-hop (Massive Attack) and alternative rock and some hopefulness on the side. Some of the songs I see specifically as Gerald/Marcus (Open your Eyes -Marcus/Gerald- and Colorblind -Gerald/Marcus- and When the world ends -Marcus/Gerald) but the others try to convey the situations they find themselves in (either through the lyrics or the melody), from the beginning to the end and beyond. It's probably not as desperation-tinged and dark as one would expect. Boo me for that D: You could also interpret some of the song choices as befitting the PoVs of the other characters involved. Just read this fic when it's posted because it's amazing.

I keep listening to this mix these days. It also fits general pensive/angsty moods ;)

1. Dave Matthews Band - When the world ends
Oh, when the world ends
We'll be burning one
When the world ends
We'll be sweet makin' love
Oh, you know when the world ends
I'm going to take you aside and say
Let's watch it fade away, fade away
And the world's done
Ours just begun

2. Two steps from hell - Moving mountains
~instrumental~

3. Portishead - Machine gun
I saw a saviour
a saviour come my way
I thought I'd see it
at the cold light of day
but now I realise that I’m
Only for me

4. Craig Armstrong/A.R. Rahman - Storm
~instrumental~

5. Massive Attack - Teardrop
Love, love is a verb
Love is a doing word
Fearless on my breath
Gentle impulsion
Shakes me makes me lighter
Fearless on my breath

6. Audio Machine - House of cards
~instrumental~

7. Audioslave - Shadow on the sun
Staring at the loss
Looking for the cause
and never really sure
Nothing but a hole
To live without a soul
and nothing to be learned
I can tell you why
people go insane
I can show you how
You could do the same
I can tell you why
the end will never come

8. Saltillo - The opening
~instrumental~

9. Counting Crows - Colorblind
Taffy stuck and tongue tied
Stutter shook and uptight
Pull me out from inside
I am ready
I am fine
I am covered in skin
No one gets to come in
Pull me out from inside
I am folded and unfolded and unfolding
I am colorblind

10. Snow Patrol - Open your eyes
Get up, get out, get away from these liars
'Cause they don't get your soul or your fire
Take my hand knot your fingers through mine
And we'll walk from this dark room for the last time
Every minute from this minute now
We can do what we like anywhere
I want so much to open your eyes
'Cause I need you to look into mine

11. Max Richter - On the nature of daylight
~instrumental~

12. Thom Yorke - Harrowdown Hill
Did I fall or was I pushed?
And where's the blood?
I'm coming home
To make it all right
So dry your eyes
We think the same things at the same time
We just can't do anything about it

13. Adele - Hometown glory
Shows that we ain't gonna stand shit
Shows that we are united
Shows that we ain't gonna take it
Shows that we ain't gonna stand shit
Shows that we are united
Round my hometown, memories are fresh
