Frankenmix 3.0: Meteorologies.
1. A song that mentions the sun.
Bic Runga - Say After Me
Raze to the ground,
I'll burn you down
Before you go and break me.
Burn like the sun
What has become
of you and me, my baby?
This song was almost my song for Fire, until I heard Jimi. I think it maybe would fit better under fire. Also, this song is Dairine/Roshaun OTP. (
lyrics. Moon glow, fire... burn like the sun? c'mon.) Also-also, this is the version she recorded live with the Christchurch Symphony Orchestra; there are minor lyrical differences, for example.

Tegan & Sara - Terrible Storm
We buried in the snow
I kept warm inside of your clothes
You swore that nothing would ever change
The way we were right then.
So nearly picked "Fast Times in Tahoe". But in the end decided I didn't like the tone.

Jimi Hendrix - Fire
I have only one burning desire,
Let me stand next to your fire.
(Oh! Move over, rover,
And let Jimi take over!)

Paul Simon - The Cool, Cool River
I believe in the future, I may live in my car
My radio tuned to the voice of a star
Song dogs barking at the break of dawn
Lightning pushes the edges of a thunderstorm
This lyric segment provies my journal title and subtitle, as well as my flist page title. I love it to pieces. Mmm.

The Muttonbirds - Wellington
I wish I was in Wellington
The weather's not so good
The wind it cuts right through you,
And it rains more than it should
But I'd be there tomorrow
If I only could,
Oh I wish I was in Wellington.
I miss my hometown a lot. :-/

Ella Fitzgerald - Between the Devil & the Deep Blue Sea
should hate you
But I guess I love you
You've got me in between
The devil and the deep blue sea.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=WR43P4GD 7. A song that mentions rocks.
Vienna Teng - My Medea
Inside the labyrinth walls
There lies a tiny child who sleeps alone
And as the daylight falls
The wind becomes so wild across the stone.
This song is gorgeous and amazing. Lush and beautiful. I think I actually d/ld it from someone else but mmmmm it's so lovely.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=4JMUWILR 8. A song that mentions the earth.
Poe - Fly Away
It makes sense that it should happen this way
That the sky should break, and the earth should shake
As if to say: Sure it all matters but in such an
unimportant way.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=5IRYBBKP BONUS TRACKS:
The Muttonbirds - Fear the Reaper
The seasons don't fear the reaper
Nor do the wind, the sun and the rain.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=HAFCTR3Q Crowded House - Four Seasons In One Day
Even when you're feeling warm
The temperature could drop away
Like four seasons in one day.
