Fanmix : The Hunger Games : Family Tragedy
Title: Family Tragedy
Fandom: The Hunger Games
Subject: the Everdeen family
Notes:
This started out as me listening to a couple of certain songs over and over as self-therapy to get over Prim. Her death was easily the one that affected me most in Mockingjay, probably because she was the only character I had never considered would die. (Please tell me I'm not the only one :'( ) In fact, I somehow managed to stay relatively tearless throughout the whole book until Katniss started screaming at Buttercup that Prim was gone and never coming back, at which point I broke down and BAW'D. Anyway, I decided to throw a few more songs together and make a mix (or maybe 7 songs is more like an EP?). Please let me know what you think!
asdfjkl; can't figure out how to center my pic or make it bigger >:(

FAMILY TRAGEDY
{ a mix for the Everdeens }
the death of their father.
TWO DAUGHTERS & A WIFE drive-by truckers
memories replay before him,
all the tiny moments of his life.
lyin' round in bed on a saturday mornin',
two daughters and a wife.
& their mother retreats; katniss takes over.
I'LL TRY jonatha brooke
i am not a child now.
i can take care of myself.
i mustn't let them down now,
mustn't let them see me cry.
i'm fine.
& katniss loses her sister.
HOLLAND, 1945 neutral milk hotel
the only girl i ever loved
was born with roses in her eyes,
but then they buried her alive
one evening, 1945,
with just her sister at her side.
& her mother loses a daughter.
IF I DIE YOUNG the band perry
and life ain't always what you think it oughta be.
no, ain't even gray, but she buries her baby.
the sharp knife of a short life.
well, i've had just enough time.
& katniss goes home, alone.
LITTLE HOUSE amanda seyfried
i love this place, but it's haunted without you.
my tired heart is beating so slow.
& buttercup returns.
PLEA FROM A CAT NAMED VIRTUTE the weakerthans
why don't you ever wanna play?
i'm tired of this piece of string.
you sleep as much as i do now
and you don't eat much of anything.
& katniss begins the book.
WELCOME TO THE BLACK PARADE my chemical romance
sometimes i get the feeling she's watchin' over me,
and other times i feel like should go.
and through it all,
the rise and fall,
the bodies in the streets,
and when you're gone we want you all to know
we'll carry on.
we'll carry on.
and though you're dead and gone, believe me,
your memory will carry on.
