rows & rows of big dark clouds: A Nathan/Haley Fanmix
This fanmix has been a long time coming, given my propensity for writing Naley angst fics (including my work-in-progress, I'm Looking Through You). Nathan and Haley have had so many storms to weather, but they've endured through it all and come out stronger. A few of the songs are from the show itself; most others are my own selections.
Lyrics, art, and a download link can be found under the cut. The album art was made by the lovely, talented caitlinangela, partner in nearly all my endeavors. Please comment if you're taking; this is my first fanmix and I'd love to know what people think!
The cut is being a bit finicky; if this slaughters your friends list, my sincerest apologies and I'll try to fix it!
rows & rows of big dark clouds
a Nathan and Haley fanmix
1. Rain - Patty Griffin
It's hard to listen to a hard, hard heart
Beating close to mine
Pounding up against the stone and steel
Walls that I won't climb
Sometimes a hurt is so deep, deep, deep
You think that you're going to drown
Sometimes all I can do is weep, weep, weep
With all this rain falling down
2. She Has No Time - Keane
Well, think about the lonely people
And think about the day she found you
Or lie to yourself
And see it all dissolve around you
She says she has no time for you now
She says she has no time for you now
She says she has no time
3. Breathe Me - Sia
Ouch, I have lost myself again
Lost myself and I am nowhere to be found
Yeah, I think that I might break
Lost myself again and I feel unsafe
Be my friend, hold me
Wrap me up, unfold me
I am small and needy
Warm me up and breathe me
4. I’m Looking Through You [cover] - The Wallflowers
Why, tell me why, did you not treat me right?
Love has a nasty habit of disappearing overnight…
I’m looking through you-where did you go?
I thought I knew you-what did I know?
You don’t look different, but you have changed
I’m looking through you-you’re not the same
5. My Body Is A Cage [cover] - Peter Gabriel
My body is a cage
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key
I’m standing on a stage
Of fear and self-doubt
It’s a hollow play
But they’ll clap anyway
6. With Or Without You - U2
Through the storm, we reach the shore
You give it all but I want more
And I'm waiting for you
With or without you
With or without you
I can't live with or without you
7. All You Want - Dido
I hear your key turning in the door
I won't be hearing that sound anymore
And you and your sin
Can leave the way you just came in
Send my regards to her…
8. Glass - Ingrid Michaelson
Rolled around on kitchen floors
Tied my tongue in pretty bows with yours
And now we pass, and just like glass
I see through you; you see through me like I’m not there.
You could make my head swerve
Used to know my every curve
And now we meet on the street
And I am blind; I cannot find the heart I gave to you.
9. Don’t Tell Me - Avril Lavigne
Don’t think that your charm and the fact that your arm is now around my neck
Will get you in my pants; I’ll have to kick your ass and make you never forget
I’m gonna ask you to stop, thought I liked you a lot but I’m really upset
Get out of my head, get off of my bed-yeah, that’s what I said.
Did I never tell you that I’m not like that girl, the one who throws it all away?
Did you think that I was gonna give it up to you, this time?
Did you think that it was something I was gonna do, and cry?
Don’t try to tell me what to do, don’t try to tell me what to say
You’re better off that way.
10. Fallen - Sarah McLachlan
Truth be told, I’ve tried my best
But somewhere along the way
I got caught up in all there was to offer
And the cost was so much more than I could bear…
Though I’ve tried, I’ve fallen
I have sunk so low
I messed up; better I should know
So don’t come ‘round here
And tell me ‘I told you so.’
11. 8 x 10 - Fefe Dobson
Don’t only wanna dream about you, yeah
But a dream like this should never be this hard
If I should live this life without you, yeah
I’d come back and try it from the start.
And I’ll show you love, ‘cause we’re all alone
Put business aside, ‘cause life passes by
And I’ll part your hair when it’s in your eyes, love
Little red houses down under in my mind
Got an 8x10 for you to sign.
12. I Shall Believe - Sheryl Crow
Broken in two, and I know you’re onto me
That I only come home when I’m so all alone
But I do believe
That not everything is gonna be the way you think it oughta be
Seems like every time I try to make it right it all comes down on me
Please say honestly you won’t give up on me, and I shall believe.
