01. Modest Mouse - The World At Large [Daniel's POV: Before he get's to the island.]
I like songs about drifters - books about the same.
They both seem to make me feel a little less insane.
Walked on off to another spot.
I still haven't gotten anywhere that I want.
Did I want love? Did I need to know?
Why does it always feel like I'm caught in an undertow?
02. Alexi Murdoch - All My Days [Desmond's POV: When's he's sailing around on another boat, thinking about Dan.]
Well many a night I found myself with no friends standing near
All of my days
I cried aloud
I shook my hands
What am I doing here
All of these days
For I look around me
And my eyes confound me
And it’s just too bright
As the days keep turning into night
Now I see clearly
It’s you I’m looking for
All of my days
03. Fountains of Wayne - All Kinds of Time [about Daniel, in a way. That metaphorically he is like the guy in this song... you'll see :)]
He looks to the left
He looks to the right
And there in a golden ray of light
Is his open man
Just as he planned
The whole world is his tonight
04. Jack Johnson - Adrift [Desmond's POV]
This was a scene worth waking up for
When I woke up
You planted me in my own body
Don't know why
But somehow it just feels so wrong
When you're sad I will be lonely
But when you rise again I'll become the sun
I will shine down upon you
As if you were the only one
Your voice is your own, I can't protect it
You'll have to sing
A verse no one has ever known
Don't be afraid
'Cause no one ever sings alone
Your way will never be too much for me
Your ideas have always been your own
And this moment keeps on moving
We were never meant to hold on
05. Way Out West - Don't Forget Me [Daniel or Desmond's POV]
There's just one thing that I need to say
before I close my eyes and walk away
There's just one thing that I need to feel
Before I walk away against my will
There's just one thing that I need to hear
Before I walk away for the last time
There's just one thing that I need to see
Before I take this chance and set us free
Don't forget me
Don't regret me
Don't suspect me
Don't neglect me
The memory of this still reminds me of you
The memory of this still reminds me
The memory of this still reminds me of you
That is where you'll find me
Stars in your eyes
Did you take the time to realize
Can you count the stars in your eyes
Did you take the time to realize
06. Jason Wade - From Where You Are [Daniel or Desmond's POV]
So far away from where you are
The miles have torn us way apart
And I miss you
Yeah I miss you
So far away from where you are
And standing underneath the stars
And I wish you
Were here
So far from where you are
These miles have torn us way apart
And I miss you
Yeah I miss you
Yeah I wish you
Were here
07. Landon Pigg - Can't Let Go [Desmond's POV: Sometime in the future when Dan and Des are off of the Island.]
And then we saw our paths diverge
And I guess I felt OK about it.
Until you got with another man,
And then I couldn't understand
Why it bothered me so.
How we didn't die we just
Never had a chance to grow.
I can't let go
No, I can't let go of you
You're holding me back without even trying to.
I can't let go
I can't move on from the past.
Without lifting a finger you're holding me back.
And it might not make much sense
To you or any of my friends
Though somehow still you affect the
Things I do.
And you can't lose what you never had
I don't understand why I feel sad
08. Patrick Watson - Drifters [Daniel and Desmond]
We are drifting away
Follow everyday
Soon we’ll have nothing to say
We’ll be too far away
We’ll be too far away
Too far away
From where we started today
Where we started today
We’ll be too far away
Cause we are drifting
Farther everyday
Well I will remember
Even if I’m drifting far away
But I will remember
Even if I’m fading all away
Oh I dip my hands into the sea
Oh I want to pour the ocean over me
And after all their tide have swallowed all the shore
I couldn’t find you anymore
09. KT Tunstall - Beauty of Uncertainty [Daniel's POV]
You might not see me
But trust that I'll stay
But there's no sense in traveling
If we've already been that way
Night is a matter
Hidden in grass
Bite like a light depends on the ways
To see how long it lasts
But you know better
You stand your ground
It might just stain a little
But she knows you're sticking around
10. Maroon 5 - Nothing Lasts Forever [Daniel or Desmond's POV]
If you don't know
Then you can't care
And you show up
But you're not there
But I'm waiting
And you want to
Still afraid that I will desert you
Everyday
With every worthless word we get more far away
The distance between us makes it so hard to stay
But nothing lasts forever, but be honest babe
It hurts but it may be the only way
11. Vienna Teng - Between [Daniel and Desmond]
We are not together here
Though we lie entwined
To make room for the other presence
We both draw back in our minds
I have a prophecy
Threatening to spill into words
This growing certainty
of Over
There once was a time I was sure of the bond
When my hands and my tongue and my thoughts were enough
We are the same but our lives move along
and the third one between replaces what once was love
12. Umbrellas - Ships [Daniel and Desmond]
Just like ships, we float through each other's lives
Through the waters of beauty and grace
We will one day dock at the same port
And give rest to our weary legs
Like the stained glass, time slows down
I wish I could sleep, I wish I could dream
13. Crowded House - People Are Like Suns [Daniel and Desmond: One of my all-time favorite songs that I've tried to include on previous fanmixes but here it actually fits :)]
People are like suns
Science will enable us to hear
To be crystal clear
To make diamonds in the shifting sand
Better take all the love that you got in a single hand
And they come and they go
In the fullness of time
People are like suns
They are burning up inside
People are like suns
Breathing into life
All that's good in us
