fanmix: your devotion has the look of a lunatic's gaze (theon/robb/jeyne)
(TRACK LIST AND ZIP.)
THEON GREYJOY
(who, it sometimes seemed, spent his whole life captive)
white winter hymnal
BIRDY
i was following the pack / all swallowed in their coats / with scarves of red tied ’round their throats / to keep their little heads / from fallin’ in the snow / and i turned ’round and there you go / and, michael, you would fall / and turn the white snow red as strawberries / in the summertime
i will follow you into the dark
DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE
if heaven and hell decide / that they both are satisfied / illuminate the ‘no’s on their vacancy signs / if there's no one beside you / when your soul embarks / then i'll follow you into the dark / in catholic school / as vicious as roman rule / i got my knuckles bruised / by a lady in black / and i held my tongue as she told me / "son, fear is the heart of love" / so i never went back
for the widows in paradise, for the fatherless in ypsilanti
SUFJAN STEVENS
morning comes in paradise / morning comes in light / still i must obey / still i must invite / if there's anything to say / if there's anything to do / if there's any other way / i'd do anything for you
exile vilify
THE NATIONAL
exile / it takes your mind again / exile / it takes your mind again / oh, you meant so much / have you given up? / does it feel like a trial? / does it trouble your mind the way you trouble mine? / does it feel like a trial? / now you're thinking too fast / you're like marbles on glass / vilify / don't even try / vilify / don't even try
we will become silhouettes
THE SHINS
i've got a cupboard with cans of food / filtered water and pictures of you / and i'm not coming out / until this is all over / and i'm looking through the glass / where the light bends
at the cracks / and i'm screaming at the top of my lungs pretending / the echoes belong to someone / someone i used to know / and we become silhouettes / when our bodies finally go

ROBB STARK
(who wasn’t quite a hero)
viva la vida
SCALA AND KOLACNY BROTHERS
it was a wicked and wild wind / blew down the doors to let me in / shattered windows and the sound of drums / people couldn't believe what i'd become / revolutionaries wait / for my head on a silver plate / just a puppet on a lonely string / oh, who would ever want to be king? / i hear jerusalem bells a-ringing / roman cavalry choirs are singing / be my mirror / my sword and shield / my missionaries in a foreign field / for some reason i can't explain / i know st. peter won't call my name
the apocalypse song
ST. VINCENT
all your praying moments amount to just one breath / please keep your victory / but give me little death / it's time / you are light / i guess you are afraid of what everyone is made of / so take to the streets with apocalypse refrain / your devotion has the look of a lunatic's gaze
to the lighthouse
PATRICK WOLF
the day our house collapsed / i went down stream / i followed the swans / like i follow my dreams / oh! i was living on borrowed time / in a borrowed house / for a borrowed crime / in need of help i came to your door / saw the spike of the railing from the 28/3rd floor / singing "build your castle, stop collecting stones / and the river bed shall not be your home"
england
THE NATIONAL
i don't even think to make / i don't even think to make / i don't even think to make corrections / famous angels never come through england / england gets the ones you never need i i'm in a los angeles cathedral / minor singing airheads sing for me / put an ocean and a river between everybody else / between everything, yourself, and home / put an ocean and a river between everything, yourself, and home
kids
MGMT
you were a child / crawlin' on your knees toward it / makin' mama so proud / but your voice was too loud / we like to watch you laughing / you pick the insects off plants / no time to think of consequences / control yourself / take only what you need from it / a family of trees wantin' / to be haunted.

JEYNE WESTERLING
(who was a queen entirely by accident)
doves
CAKE BAKE BETTY
and every time we have to part / i sit and shoot the doves in my back yard / i dig a hole / in search of kites / i lose my grip / oh, how that string it bites / and the dogs they rip my feet / they make me watch the girls / the dancing queens / i am not the one to blame / i am not the horse in this here game
for the widows in paradise
THE GOOD NATURED
morning comes in paradise / morning comes in light / still i must obey / still i must invite / if there's anything to say / if there's anything to do / if there's any other way / i'd do anything for you / i was dressed in embarrassment / i was dressed in white / if you had a part of me / will you take your time?
song for the dead
SEA WOLF
a comma of silence relieves all the violence / you've dragged into bed / with the sheets soaking red / it's a glimmer of light / through a prism / that's calling a truce / with your beautiful hair / so displayed on the chair / and your head on the arm / and your legs in the air / and the words dancing out / from your lips / like a sad ballet
hope in the air
LAURA MARLING
a friend is a friend forever / and a good one will never leave, never / but you've never been south of what blows off your mouth / you will never understand ever / you speak minds handed down to you / by the lies handed down by your truth / and your angels that dance to your will / will mask your scrambling youth / i forgave you your short comings / and ignored your childish behavior / left a kiss on your head / and before i left, said / ‘stay away from fleeting favor’ / oh, pick up your rope, lord / sling it to me / if we are to battle / i must not be weak
national anthem
LANA DEL REY
tell me i'm your national anthem / red, white, blue's in the skies / summer's in the air and baby / heaven's in your eyes / i'm your national anthem / money is the reason, we exist / everybody knows it / it's a fact / kiss, kiss / i sing the national anthem / while I'm standing / over your body / hold you like a python
