I Mixed You a Tape

[fueschgast]

I did this Fanmix Yourself meme. What a piece of work that was! For some songs I was spoilt for coice, for others it was hard to find something fitting. I did my bestestest to use as little Muse as possible, but 8tracks said that 4 were still 2 too many. Thanks for making this meme even harder, 8tracks!


Listen here.

1. a song you'd kick zombie ass to during the apocalypse
   Muse - Stockholm Syndrome
   This song kicks ass, so it makes it a good soundstrack for anything that requires asskicking. Also running.
2. a song you've heard live
   Wir sind Helden - 23:55: Alles auf Anfang
   A fun song musically and lyrically. I love how Wir sind Helden play with words, but I'm not going to the trouble of trying to translate their lyrics again.
3. a song that reminds you of your favorite fictional character
   Panic! at the Disco - Always
   I could make a whole fanmix with songs that remind me of Jim Moriarty! "I'm a fly that's trapped in a web, but I'm thinking that my spider's dead". Jiiiiim! ;__;
4. a song that was your middle school/high school anthem
   Matchbox Twenty - Bent
   Oh god, it was so weird to listen to that song again! Back then this song was a bright spot, but listening to it now took me back to a time of depression and anxiety.
5. a song that reminds you of your best friend
   Juli - Wir beide
   The lyrics actually are about best friends, so yeah.
6. a song that would play in the movie trailer of your life
   Wir sind Helden - The Geek
   Sorry, another German song. But hey, it has some English in it! If you're on my friends list, you can see the lyrics and a translation.
7. a song that reminds you of somewhere
   White Lies - Bigger Than Us
   While none of them were Muse, all of the songs I considered for this were about Wembley. I chose Bigger Than Us, because it's my favorite of the non-Muse songs I heard there live.
8. a favorite song from last year
   Sherlock S2 soundtrack: Prepared to do Anything
   Reichenfeels!
9. a song with a color in the title
   Foo Fighters - The Deepest Blues Are Black
   It even has 2 colors in the title, ha!
10. a song that would be your own country’s national anthem
    Muse - Knights of Cydonia
    Is it normal that I knew the answer before this meme asked the question? You see, one day Musers will totally live on Mars, so of course our anthem will be a song with a Mars region in its title.
11. a song by an artist you're not-so-secretly crushing on
    Ewan McGregor - Your Song
    Since I couldn't find any clips of Andrew Scott singing, you get a song sung by my earlier favorite actor.
12. a song that reminds you of your favorite season
    Relient K - Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
    I couldn't find anything that reminds me of spring, so I went with my second favorite season (Christmas, not winter) instead.
13. a song you play when you need to go on a crying jag
    Inception soundtrack: Time
14. a song you'd like to kiss to
    Snow Patrol - Signal Fire
    Well, kissing isn't my thing, so I chose a song for cuddling.
15. a song with lyrics you'd like to tattoo on yourself
    The X-Files - Fight the Future soundtrack: Teotihuacan
    I could neither remember nor find a song with tattoo-worthy lyrics, so I chose an instrumental.
