mix - DC Comics: Batgirls - We Were Real
Fandom: DC Comics
Subject: Batgirls (Babs, Cass, and Steph)
Title: We Were Real
Notes: For this mix I wanted to use only upbeat songs sung by female vocalists. It proved to be a lot harder than I would have thought, which says a lot about my music collection (depressing, downbeat songs sung by men or instrumentals). I also wanted songs with a focus on something other than love. This mix fluctuated from anywhere between 20 to 6 songs, and at one point has "Little Seal Girl" from As Told By Ginger on it. I kid you not.
I wanted to do this mix because I really love all of the Batgirls. All three of them are such wonderful, inspirational figures for me. Each of these three women have their own individual strengths, and they've all helped each other and worked together. And as each of them has moved on from her cowl, they've only continued to grow and become even stronger. These are the sort of women I aspire to be.
01 | Pieces // Allison Iraheta
But maybe my screw ups
Is how I will know
Why can you let me hit the ground?
Not like I'm lost and can't be found
I don't wanna fight
Well take a few steps back tonight
I don't need you to save me
I'd rather crash and burn
Don't need you to tell me
How to live before I learn
02 | King of Anything // Sara Bareilles
I hate to break it to you babe
But I'm not drowning
There's no one here to save
Who cares if you disagree
You are not me
03 | As A Blonde // Fefe Dobson
Wanna take the road
Less traveled in
A different direction
Make some new mistakes
Forget the ones I've made
Cry some tears of joy
04 | Oh No! // Marina and the Diamonds
I just want to make a change
I just wanna change
I know exactly what I want and who I want to be
I know exactly why I walk and talk like a machine
I'm now becoming my own self-fulfilled prophecy
Oh, oh no, oh no, oh no
One track mind, one track heart
If I fail, I'll fall apart
Maybe it is all a test
Cause I feel like I'm the worst
So I always act like I'm the best
05 | Do It // Spice Girls
Remember things like this should be seen and never heard
Give a little respect to me & it will be returned
Keep your head down, keep your nose clean
Go back against the wall
Girl there's no way out for you
You are sure to fall
Who cares what they do
Because it's yours for the taking
So it's not for you anyway
Make your own rules to live by
06 | Song With A Mission // The Sounds
So don't you think I know whats wrong
You are acting like I don't witness stories
But you can't push us down
This song is not for you
Only for people living like we do, and not for the true
07 | Just Another Day // Jade Valerie
Some may say, some may say it was a big mistake for me to
Go go go
Bu I am water, life is rock, gotta find a way to
Flow flow flow
The road I chose, the road I chose, only god will know where it
Goes goes goes
08 | So Far So Great // Demi Lovato
Everyone says don't get your hopes up
Learn the ropes and climb the ladder
I know in the end that just being here is the best
And it only gets better, it only gets better
09 | Sometimes It's a Bitch // Stevie Nicks
There are days when I swear I could fly like an eagle
And dark desperate hours that nobody sees
My arms stretched triumphant on top of the mountain
My head in my hands...down on my knees
Sometimes it's a bitch...sometimes it's a breeze
10 | Rock What You Got (Fight Underdog Fight! Mix) // Superchick
This one's for originals
Who strike out towards the great unknown
Fear not the missteps, take the falls
The rock you find will be your own
