Fanmix: Antebellum (LQEVSL)

Sep 17, 2011 23:32

So here comes my biggest creation to the date!
This is a fanmix for my Gone With The Wind kind-of-sequel "Antebellum". It is currently only in spanish, and is a project that I've been working on since I was fourteen. It takes place 8 years after the end of Gone With The Wind and focuses on the relationship between Ella Kennedy (Scarlett's daughter) and Beau Wilkes (Ashley and Melanie's son) and the reconciliation between Scarlett and Rhett. For now it's only in spanish, but music can be appreciated by anyone! :)
This took forever, so I would like to hear your comments, recommendations, etc. Specially if you're taking it.
I know that Gone With The Wind isn't very popular, but I seriously hope that music-lovers will love it the same. I tried to recopile songs with folkey-americana-country undertones and trew some instrumentals here and there.
Thanks! I hope you'll enjoy it.





Part I
Scarlett



Silent Night - Antonio Breschi 
(Instrumental)

Heart of My Own - Basia Bulat

Back home
What do I hold?
For the maid or the mother I'll be
If only the loom and a thread will hold.
It is work too but as that I hear it
Tomorrow I'll mend it
The empty bones.

There are the roses that come without seekin'
They are the ones that I have to sow.
In your verses that I have repeated
The way that I was when I used to know.

Foot On The Manger - Iron & Wine

Awake through the night, and this flood water around her
Reminds her of the time and low country boys
And their bottles without her, though she's on their minds

Hands in black mud, at the foot of the manger
She'll always be young and free to be wrong
A black lamb licks the dirt off her feet with its tongue

We are blessed, aren't we?
In the shade of these large auburn leaves
Unexpectedly we arrive where we're all meant to be

Awake through the night, and she prays in the morning
For distance from harm and low country boys
With their wealth of protection and mean battle-arms

Lover of the Light - Mumford & Sons

In the middle of the night, I may watch you go
There'll be no value in the strength of walls that I have grown
There'll be no comfort in the shade of the shadows thrown
But I'll be yours if you'll be mine

Stretch out my life and pick the seams out
Take what you like, but close my ears and eyes
Watch me crumble over and over

I have done wrong, so build your tower
But call me home and I will build a throne
And wash my eyes out never again

But love the one you hold
And I'll be your goal
To have and to hold
A lover of the light

Skin too tight and eyes like marbles
You spin me high so watch me as I glide
Before I tumble homeward, homeward

I know I tried, I was not stable
Flawed by pride, I miss my sanguine eyes
So hold my hands up...breathe in, breathe out.

Speeding Cars - Imogen Heap

here's the day you hoped would never come
don't feed me violins
just run with me through rows of speeding cars
the papercuts, the cheating lovers
the coffee's never strong enough
i know you think it's more than just bad luck

there there, baby
it's just text book stuff
it's in the ABC of growing up
now now, darling
don't lose your head
none of us were angels
and you know I love you, yeah

sleeping pills know, sleeping dogs lie
never far enough away
glistening in the cold sweat of guilt
I've watched you slowly winding down for years
you can't keep on like this
now's a bad a time as any




Landslide - Gwyneth Paltrow and Naya Rivera

I took my love and I took it down
Climbed a mountain and turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow-covered hills
Till the landslide brought it down

Oh, mirror in the sky - What is love?
Can the child within my heart rise above?
Can I sail through the changin' ocean tides?
Can I handle the seasons of my life?
I don't know, I don't know

Well, I've been afraid of changin'
Because I've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder, even children get older
And I'm getting older, too

You Could be Happy - Snow Patrol

You could be happy and I won't know
But you weren't happy the day I watched you go
And all the things that I wish I had not said
Are played on lips 'til it's madness in my head

Is it too late to remind you how we were?
But not our last days of silent, screaming blur
Most of what I remember makes me sure
I should have stopped you from walking out the door

You could be happy, I hope you are
You made me happier than I'd been by far

Somehow everything I own smells of you
And for the tiniest moment it's all not true
Do the things that you always wanted to

Without me there to hold you back, don't think, just do
More than anything I want to see you go
Take a glorious bite out of the whole world

After the Storm - Mumford & Sons

And after the storm,
I run and run as the rains come
And I look up, I look up,
on my knees and out of luck,
I look up
Night has always pushed up day
You must know life to see decay
But I won't rot, I won't rot
Not this mind and not this heart,
I won't rot.
[...]
And now I cling to what I knew
I saw exactly what was true
But oh no more.
That's why I hold,
That's why I hold with all I have.
That's why I hold.

I won't die alone and be left there.
Well I guess I'll just go home,
Oh God knows where.
Because death is just so full and man so small.
Well I'm scared of what's behind and what's before.

And there will come a time, you'll see, with no more tears.
And love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears.
Get over your hill and see what you find there,
With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair.

Storms - Fleetwood Mac

Every night that goes between
I feel a little less
As you slowly go away from me
This is only another test

Every night you do not come
Your softness fades away
Did I ever really care that much
Is there anything left to say

[...]

I haven't felt this way I feel
Since many a year ago
But in those years and the lifetimes past
I did not deal with the road

And I did not deal with you I know
Tho the love has always been
So I search to find an answer there
So I can truly win

So I try to say
Goodbye my friend
I'd like to leave you with something warm
But never have I been a blue calm sea
I have always been a storm

Part II
Rhett




The Vikings Have Their Tea - John Powell

(Instrumental)

Dustbowl Dance - Mumford & Sons

The young man stands on the edge of his porch
The days were short and the father was gone
There was no one in the town and no one in the field
This dusty barren land had given all it could yield

I've been kicked off my land at the age of sixteen
And I have no idea where else my heart could have been
I placed all my trust at the foot of this hill
And now I am sure my heart can never be still
So collect your courage and collect your horse
And pray you never feel this same kind of remorse

Seal my heart and brake my pride
I've nowhere to stand and now nowhere to hide
Align my heart, my body, my mind
To face what I've done and do my time

[...]

Well yes sir, yes sir, yes it was me
I know what I've done, cause I know what I've seen
I went out back and I got my gun
I said, "You haven't met me, I am the only son"

Boston - Augustana

In the light of the sun
Is there anyone?
Oh it has begun
Oh dear, you look so lost
Eyes are red and tears are shed
Some world you must have crossed

You said, You don't know me
You don't even care
Oh yeah
She said, you don't know me
You don't wear my chains
Oh yeah - yeah

The essential yet appealed
Carry all your thoughts cross an open field
When flowers gaze at you
They're not the only ones

[...]

I think I''m going to Boston
I think I'll start a new life
I think I''ll start it over
No one knows my name
I'll get out of California
I'm tired of the weather
I think I'll get a lover
I'll fly ''em out to Spain

I think I'm going to Boston
I think that I''m just tired
I think I need a new town
To leave this all behind
I think I need a sunrise
I'm tired of the sunset
Here it's nice in the summer
Some snow would be nice
Oh yeah

Vermillion Pt. 2 (Acoustic)  - Slipknot

She seemed dressed in all of me
Stretched across my shame
All the torment and the pain
Leaked through and covered me
I'd do anything to have her to myself
Just to have her for myself
Now I don't know what to do
I don't know what to do
When she makes me sad

She is everything to me
The unrequited dream
A song that no one sings
The unattainable
She's a myth that I have to believe in
All I need to make it real is one more reason




Swept Away - The Avett Brothers

Well you send my life a whirling
Darling when you're twirling
On the floor
Who cares about tomorrow?
When you swept me away
Yeah you swept me away

I see the end of the rainbow
But what more is a rainbow
Than colors out of reach
If you come down to my window
And I climb out my window
Then we'll get out of reach

Then you swept me away
Yeah you swept me away

You said with such honest feeling
But what'd you really mean
When you said that I'm your man
Well how my darling can it be
When you have never seen me
And you never will again

Tumbling Down - Paolo Nutini

I see the sun light, I see the rain
I feel the river flow like it's running through my veins 
There is a fire burning I feel it's pain
There's a storm alive in the sky 'til now and we won't ever be the same

There's nowhere left to hide your pretty face It's making a move for everything

Tonight we'll leave I guess that's how it's gotta be
The World the world comes tumbling down
And I wish I could stay but I know it wont never be that way
The World the world comes tumbling down

Birds (Neil Young Cover) - As Tall As Lions

Lover, there will be another one
Who'll hover over you beneath the sun
Tomorrow see the things that never come
Today

When you see me
Fly away without you
Shadow on the things you know
Feathers fall around you
And show you the way to go
It's over, it's over.

Nestled in your wings my little one
This special morning brings another sun
Tomorrow see the things that never come
Today

Part III
Antebellum (General)




Mother's Journey - Yann Tiersen
(Instrumental)

In the Night - Basia Bulat

All the hopes that you've been holding on to for so long
And the fires you've been chasing down now are all gone
I can tell you are a long way from the one you love
Oh the night it takes so long to fall

Oh in the night, oh in the night, oh in the night
I will hide away my fortunate son
He's soon to fall, but let him go
But I'll always know my life is not the only one
No, no

[...]

Smoke and shadows fall, follow me
To my heart like I come so
Heavy so that I can
Still not believe the
Words that you sing so
Carry on your own
No, no

All my life has been a wander in the fireside
All the weather made is cold enough to hold me now
And a heart like yours should never have to hold it now
But sometimes it takes the night to fall

Autumn - Joanna Newsom

driven through by her own sword
summer died last night, alone
even the ghosts huddle up for warmth
autumn has come to my hometown

friendly voices, dead and gone
singing star of the country down
even the ghosts help raise the barn
here now in my hometown

[...]

i may have changed
it's hard to gauge
time won't account for how i've aged
would i could tie your lying tongue
who says that leaving keeps you young

and i have got no control
over my heart, over my mind
over the hills, the rainclouds roll
i, winter, here wait for a sign

to cast myself out over the water
riven like a wishbone
you'd hardly guess
i was my own mother's daughter
i, a naturally (given alone)
and i lay low when i return
and i move like a gurney whose wheels are squeakin'
alone in a home
and i laugh when you speak
of my pleasure-seekin'

Family - Dar Williams

Can you fix this? It's a broken heart 
It was fine, but it just fell apart 
It was mine, but now I give it to you 
'cause you can fix it, you know what to do

Let your love cover me 
Like a pair of angel wings 
You are my family

We stood outside in the summer rain 
Different people with a common pain 
A simple box in that hard red clay 
Where we left him to always remain

[...]

And the child who played with the moon and stars 
Waves a snatch of hay in a common barn 
In the lonely house of Adam's fall 
Lies a child, it's just a child that's all




Southern Anthem - Iron & Wine

Just like the way that you ran to wine
When they made the new milk turn
Jesus, a friend in the better times
Let your mother's bible burn
Freedom, a fever you suffered through
And the dog drank from your cup
Frozen, the river that baptized you
And the horse died standing up

But when a southern anthem rings
She will buckle to that sound
When that southern anthem rings
It will lay her burdens down

Just like the way you lost your guns
When they cut the clothesline loose
Jesus, a friend of the weaker ones
Said, "I'm all they stole from you"
Freedom, a thistle that withered dry
Still a baby in your hands
Frozen, the ground refused to die
And the guitar rose again

Oh, Atlanta - Allison Krauss

Same old place
Same old city
What can I do?
I'm falling in love

I'm just an old hound dog
Roaming around, oh Lord
I've got all this and Heaven above

Oh, Atlanta
I hear you calling
I'm coming back to you one fine day
No need to worry
There ain't no hurry cause I'm
On my way back to Georgia
On my way back to Georgia

I get a feeling in me
When I remember all those crazy days and crazier nights
Can't you hear the music playing?
You must have heard them saying
We're gonna rip 'em up and light up the night

June Hymn - The Decemberists

Hear the hymn to welcome in the day
Heralding a summer's early sway
And all the bulbs all coming in 
To begin
Thrushes beating battle with the wind
Disrupts my reverie again

Pegging clothing on the line
Training jasmine, how divine
And up the arbor to your door
And more
Standing on the landing with the war
You shouldered all the night before

But once upon it
The yellow bonnet
Garland all the lawn
You were waking
Day was breaking
A panoply of song
The summer comes to Springville

Baronet of ivory in the trees
Expanding on its empire by degrees
And all the branches burst abloom
And boom
Heaven sent the cardinal maroon 
To decorate our living room

Homeward, These Shoes - Iron and Wine

Homeward the new road meanders
Washed out the old road as to what did I bring
Flowers, a verse about springtime
Perchance in the treeline she's awaiting for me

Homeward these shoes worn to paper
Thin as the reason I left here so young
Homeward and what if I see her
There in the doorway I walked away from

White house asleep on the hillside
Firm as a habit I struggled to shed
Homeward with heaven above me
Old road behind me, a door up ahead

End Titles - Danny Elfman

(Instrumental)

Part IV
Rhett/Scarlett




An Unwelcomed Friend - Michael Newman
(Instrumental)

Antebellum - Vienna Teng

In the fall,
we circle through the leaves
and talk about the little ones.
And we smile, but never say too much.
The moment always vanishing.
One by one the neighbors' lights come on.
Our October day is almost gone.

[...]

In the spring,
we climbed the rolling hills
and talked about our budding plans.
And we smiled,
our faces like a mirror
showing us our secret sides.
But then the fights:
the sharp words splintering the night,
how I couldn't be what you'd need
but oh how I could make you bleed

I know the border lines we drew between us
keep the weapons down,
keep the wounded safe;
I know our antebellum innocence
was never meant to see the light of our armistice.
But how much would I give to have it back again?
How much did we lose
to live this way?

You'll go home, I'll stay here
seasons keep on marching
I'll stay here, you'll go home
with only strangers watching

The Ice is Getting Thinner - Death Cab for Cutie

We're not the same, dear, as we used to be
The seasons have changed and so have we
There was little we could say and even less that we could do
To stop the ice from getting thinner under me and you

We buried our love in the wintery grave
A lump in the snow was all that remained
But we stayed by its side, as the days turned to weeks
And the ice kept getting thinner with every word that we'd speak

When the spring arrived, we were taken by surprise
When the flows under our feet bled into the sea
And nothing was left for you and me

We're not the same dear and it seems to me
There's nowhere we can go with nothing underneath
Then it saddens me to say what we both knew was true
That the ice was getting thinner under me and you

The Years Seal Their Beauty - Iron & Wine

Settle down my frazzled bride
You might frighten the children awake
With that tempest you hang on your face
You raise your fist and it trembles there
Like a branch tapping the window pane
In the summertime before the rain
In the summertime before the rain

Come lay thee down my supple bride
The years seal their beauty in you
Like our time with our mothers can do
But how long now since we've been in school?
And we drew who we wanted to be?
We made love to our sincerity
We made love to our sincerity

Sitting down, my frazzled bride said
"God takes the anger I save
When I save it to throw in your face"
But winter's here with it's memories
And it's clear that we don't want the truth
It''s just comfort I'm wanting from you



Hold On To What You Believe - Mumford & Sons

I
I can't promise you that I won't let you down
And I
I can't promise you that I will be the only one around
When your hope falls down
But we're young
Open flowers in the windy fields of this war-torn world
And love
This city breathes the plague of loving things more than their creators

I ran away
I could not take the burden of both me and you
It was too fast
Casting love on me as if it were a spell I could not break
When it was a promise I could not make

But what if I was wrong?

But hold on to what you believe in the light
When the darkness has robbed you of all your sight

And now this land
Means less and less to me without you breathing through its trees
At every turn
The water runs away from me and the halo disappears
And the hole when you're not near

Judgement - Iron & Wine

Judgement comes when I'm all alone
Like a spyglass on the furthest coast
Favored now that it's left behind

When you talk to me you could swallow me

Nighttime brings me a place I fear
Where I hear your words and feel you near
Fingers only to find a frozen memory
Sometimes clothes chosen long ago
A direction down a gravel road
Makes you wish you could take them back

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Days walk on and when there's no sound
I go straight to you and find you down
Kneeling next to the water where I left you
Knee-deep now in the creek I made
From the landscape lost I want to save
Save it now or be punished more

When you talk to me you could swallow me

Caledonia - Paolo Nutini

I don't know if you can see, the changes that have come over me
In these last few days, I've been afraid that I might drift away
So I've been tellin' old stories, singing old songs
That makes me think about where I came from
And that's the reason why I seem so far away today

Let me tell you that I love you
And that I think about you all the time
Caledonia, you're callin' me and now I'm going home
And if I should become a stranger
You know that it would make me more than sad
Caledonia, you're the best friend I've ever had

Well I have moved, and I've kept on movin'
And I've proved the points that I needed proovin'
And I've lost the friends I needed loosin'
And ound others on the way
And I have kissed the ladies and left some cryin'
Stolen dreams...oh, there's no denying
And I've partied hard with coattails flyin'
Somewhere in the wind

Part V
Ella/Beau




Bubbly - Vitamin String Quartet
(Instrumental)

Only the Young - Brandon Flowers

Look back in silence
The cradle of your whole life
There in the distance
Losing its greatest pride
Nothing is easy, nothing is sacred, why?
Where did the bow break?
It happened before your time

And there were people there
Lovely as you'd ever care
Tonight, maybe you can start again
Laughing in the open air
Have yourself another dream
Tonight, maybe we can start again

Only the young can break away, break away
Lost when the wind blows, on your own
Only the young can break away, break away
Lost when the wind blows, on your own

Daydreamer - Adele (Beau)

Daydreamer, sittin' on the seat
Soaking up the sun he is a
Real lover, makin' up the past and feeling up his girl like he's never felt her figure before
Her joy 
Looks good when he when he walks, he is the subject of their talk
He would be hard to chase, but good to catch and he could change the world with his hands behind his back, Oh

You can find him sittin'' on your doorstep
Waiting for the surprise
It will feel like he's been there for hours
And you can tell that he'll be there for life

Daydreamer, with eyes that make you melt
He lends his coat for shelter because he's there for you when he shouldn't be
But he stays all the same, waits for you and then sees you through
There's no way I could describe him
All I say is, just what I'm hoping for

I was a Daughter - Basia Bulat (Ella)

If you call tomorrow I will dream I was a daughter
Weavin through these brand-new silver streams
Turned into dusty roads that we both wandered on
We prayed to perfect Avalon
We wished for anyone to take us home

If you want to build this house with me
Oh what a story
This is how they'll all remember me
We were the lucky ones that would survive the flood
With potted flowers in our blood
Pretendin that we don't know where we bleed
All the pretty fall

We fell asleep but we couldn't hear their little words
We swam in the rivers, sang with the birds
Gave away our hearts before we knew what they were
What a pretty fall
(don't sing too loud, they are asleep)
Didn't even know
(don't sing too loud, they are still dreaming)
We sang out with the birds
(don't sing too loud, they are asleep)
Gave away our hearts before we knew what they were
(don't sing too loud, they are asleep)
What they were
Oh what they were




Roll Away Your Stone - Mumford & Sons

Roll away your stone, I’ll roll away mine
Together we can see what we will find
Don’t leave me alone at this time,
For I'm afraid of what I will discover inside

Cause you told me that I would find a hole,
Within the fragile substance of my soul
And I have filled this void with things unreal,
And all the while my character it steals

Darkness is a harsh term don’t you think?
And yet it dominates the things I see

It seems that all my bridges have been burned,
But you say that’s exactly how this grace thing works
It’s not the long walk home that will change this heart,
But the welcome I receive with the restart

[...]

Stars hide your fires,
These here are my desires
And I won't give them up to you this time around
And so, I’ll be found with my stake stuck in this ground
Marking the territory of this newly impassioned soul

But you, you’ve gone too far this time
You have neither reason nor rhyme
With which to take this soul that is so rightfully mine

Half Acre - Hem (Ella)

I am holding half an acre
torn from the map of Michigan
and folded in this scrap of paper
is a land I grew in

Think of every town you've lived in
every room you lay your head
and what is it that you remember?

Do you carry every sadness with you
every hour your heart was broken
every night the fear and darkness
lay down with you

A man is walking on the highway
A woman stares out at the sea
and light is only now just breaking

So we carry every sadness with us
every hour our hearts were broken
every night the fear and darkness
lay down with us

But I am holding half an acre
torn from the map of Michigan
I am carrying this scrap of paper
that can crack the darkest sky wide open
every burden taken from me
every night my heart unfolding
my home




Clam, Crab, Cockle, Cowrie - Joanna Newsom (Beau)

Oh don't, don't you lift me up
like I'm that shy, no no no no no,
just give it up
There are bats all dissolving in a row
into the wishy-washy dark that cannot let go
and I cannot let go
so I thank the lord
and I thank his sword
though it be mincing up the morning, slightly bored

O, morning without warning like a hole
and I watch you go
There are some mornings when the sky looks like a road
There are some dragons who were built to have and hold
And some machines are dropped from great heights lovingly
and some great bellies ache with many bumblebees
(and they sting so terribly)

I do as I please
Now I'm on my knees
Your skin is something that I stir into my tea
And I am watching you
and you are starry, starry, starry
and I'm tumbling down, and I check a frown
Well, just look around
It's why I love this town
just see me serenaded hourly! celebrated sourly!
dedicated dourly; waltzing with the open sea
Clam, crab, cockle, cowrie
will you just look at me?

Pressing Flowers - The Civil Wars

Meet me in the garden where the weeds grow tall
Down by the gate
I got a secret that I might tell
It'll give me away

Meet me on the back porch where ivy climbs
Where they sat on the swing
Soak up the color of the midday sun
While the ocean sings

Ooh
Whatever you do
Ooh
Keep it with you

You and I
Well we're just pressing flowers
They die
But they're ours

Meet me in a poem of an iron bed
Wipe the dust away
Meet me in the tin tabs (?) from long ago
Trace the lines of my face
