i was a baby when i learned to suck (but you have raised it to an art form)

[gyzym]

So, this is sort of a Steve/Danny fanmix, except not really, because it doesn't really have a cohesive theme or anything. It's more "here are some songs, some angsty, some ridiculously sappy, some random, that I've been listening to when thinking about Steve and Danny." I didn't do the thing where I write little blurbs for each one because I am tired, yo; I didn't give it a title because it didn't deserve one.

HOORAY, MUSIC, HERE WE GO.



wind it up - barenaked ladies

stop, drop and roll and I will tell you where I'm coming from
you've done a lot of yelling pointed at my eardrum
I'll offer all of me that you can lay your eyes on
I'll get right back to you once I get my disguise on

hearts on fire, you'll learn
end up with heartburn

wind me up, my dear
had it up to here

believe - the bravery

The faces all around me they don't smile they just crack
Waiting for our ship to come but our ships not coming back
We do our time like pennies in a jar
What are we saving for

There's a smell of stale fear that's reeking from our skins.
The drinking never stops because the drinks absolve our sins
We sit and grow our roots into the floor
But what are we waiting for

So give me something to believe
Cause I am living just to breathe
And I need something more
To keep on breathing for
So give me something to believe

already free - stuart davis

Something simple in me
woke up already free

A thousand stories removed
Living proof of nothing to prove

But I needed a push
to get me to see
Wherever I am
I'm already free

impressions - jarrod gorbel

you can't wash this off your skin
leave the wreckage of your sins
feels a lot like a new beginning

you're so young and impulse driven,
you've made all of the wrong decisions
you sacrifice someone else's time

get yourself in these predicaments
come undressed as the equivalent

lesson learned, pain well deserved

a place called home - kim richey

Well, it's not hard to see
Anyone who looks at me
Knows I am just a rolling stone
Never landing anyplace to call my own
To call my own

Well, it seems like so long ago
But it really ain't you know
I started out a crazy kid
Miracle I made it through the things I did
The things I did

Someday I'll go where there ain't no rain or snow
Til then, I travel alone
And I make my bed with the stars above my head
And dream of a place called home

good life - richard julian

it's a good life
if you want
so why the face
why so cynical
that won't earn you one thin dime
name of the game in two words:
be amenable

broom people - the mountain goats

'36 hudson in the garage,
all sorts of junk in the unattached spare room,
dishes in the kitchen sink,
new straw for the old broom,
friends who don't have a clue,
well meaning teachers,
but down in your arms,
in your arms, I am a wild creature

fit and dizzyspells - andrew bird

Comes and goes
Like in fits and dizzy spells
Like the weather

And it blows
Like it knows what's going wrong
Like it's clever

Has a name but the name goes unspoken
Weather vanes
Were all twisted and broken
So soldier on, soldier on

rescue - the waifs

When your boots are well worn in
And you’re tired of travelling
When you got nowhere to call your own
You know my place can be your home

To the rescue here I come

fall stories - girlyman

September's still summer, but the nights are like fall
tell me your fall stories,
every time you broke your heart

your love comes out your hands
it all comes out of your hands
make me remember who I am

lazy eye - silversun pickups

I've been waiting
i've been waiting for this moment all my life
but it's not quite right

and this 'real'
it's impossible if possible
at who's blind word
so clear but so unheard

i've been waiting
i've been waiting for this silence all night long
it's just a matter of time

buildings and bridges -- ani difranco

we are made to bleed
and scab and heal and bleed again
and turn every scar into a joke
we are made to fight
and fuck and talk and fight again
and sit around and laugh until we choke

fresh feeling -- the eels

You don't have a clue
What it is like to be next to you
I'm here to tell you
That it is good
That it is true

Birds singing a song
Old paint is peeling
This is that fresh
That fresh feeling

right moves - josh ritter

I said how is it that you come back to me
You don't need the stories of my scars or in the stars to tell you nothing's free
I traded all the innocence I ever had for hesitation
I said won't you tell me where you been
You put a finger to my lips and then you kissed me once and once again
The crickets all leapt up and met the moon with a standing ovation

Am I making all the right moves
Am I singing you the right blues
Is there a time when I could call you
Just to see how you are doing

concede - sister hazel

I've seen your inside, you stay inside
And I won't go for that
I've seen your quarters
Seen your crooked sacred pictures on the wall

Concede and believe me
I won't give up, I won't give out on you

fucking boyfriend - the bird and the bee

There is something wrong
And there is something right
When you can take me by the hand
And I will close my eyes

Would you ever be my
Would you be my fucking boyfriend

the start of something - voxtrot

Inside your room, you said, "You never really live
Until your back's against the wall, " oh did you really mean it?
I never break my gaze, if just to see this scar remain reflected in your eyes
I think it's time to go home

if you stay - richard julian

if you stay, could you leave the past behind
and if you go, then go, and go for real this time
but if you stay, then stay and leave it at that
but if you go, don't forget your hat

it gets chilly in new york, with the winter closing in
and the almanac reported a very bitter wind
blowing out
of your mouth
