I figured with Glee starting tonight I better get this out before I chicken out about posting it completely. It's actually sad how long this has been sitting on my hard drive.
Oh this mix! It's been in the making for months and finally, finally, there was nothing left to do with it but post it. And even now I still don't feel like I'm really done with it. Part of me is still unsure, because I've listened to it so many times in these last few months, that I'm not sure that what I wanted to express with the mix is as clear anymore, or maybe it is but I just can't see it with all my thoughts about it. The way I imagined it and built it is how my brain saw this
fic of my going, but at the same time it's also telling a completely different story that at the moment is only alive in my head. At the time I felt these are the songs I felt expressed my ideas on them the best, and how I hoped that their story would go.
With the back nine starting I'm pretty confident in the fact that the show is not going in the direction of this particular ship, not seriously, but as long as I get hilarious, crazy, and (hopefully) sweet moments between these two then I'll be happy. It's what fandom is for. ;)
At any rate, ENJOY and ignore my confuzzled thoughts.
01 | little lion man; mumford & sons
tremble for yourself, my man,
you know that you have seen this all before
tremble little lion man,
you'll never settle for any of your scores
your grace is wasted in your face,
your boldness stands alone among the wreck
learn from your mother or else spend your days biting your own neck
02 | criminal; fiona apple
I've been a bad bad girl
I've been careless with a delicate man
And it's a sad sad world
When a girl will break a boy
Just because she can
Don't you tell me to deny it
03 | neighborhood #1 (tunnels); arcade fire
You change all the lead
sleepin' in my head,
as the day grows dim
I hear you sing a golden hymn.
04 | all hail the heartbreaker; spill canvas
I will sleep another day
I don't really need to anyway
What's the point when my dreams are infected
With words you used to say
I will breathe in a moment
As long as I keep my distance
I wouldn't want to go messing anything up
So don't go worrying about me
It's not like I think about you constantly
So maybe I do, but that shouldn't affect
Your life anymore
05 | bright lights; matchbox twenty
From all I'm up against out in this world
Maybe, maybe, maybe
You'll find something
That's enough to keep you
But if the bright lights don't receive you
You should turn yourself around
And come on home
06 | not the doctor; alanis morissette
What are you hungry for
I don't want to be the glue that holds your pieces together
I don't want to be your idol
See this pedestal is high and I'm afraid of heights
I don't want to be lived through
A vicarious occasion
07 | the only living boy in new york; simon & garfunkel
Half of the time we're gone but we don't know where,
And we don't know where.
Here I am.....
08 | secret smile; semisonic
Nobody knows it but you've got a secret smile
And you use it only for me
09 | fake empire; the national
Turn the light out say goodnight
no thinking for a little while
lets not try to figure out everything at once
It’s hard to keep track of you falling through the sky
we’re half-awake in a fake empire
