Title: In The Grip of a Hurricane
Warnings: Spoiler-rific, particularly for The Last Olympian.
Notes: Most songs are in mp3 format, but there might be some in m4a. Inspired by this mix by my darling mythologiced and the fact that while trying to make a generic mix, my iTunes decided I needed to make my own Percy/Annabeth mix.
1. Everybody Loves Me - OneRepublic Percy is alternatively popular and hated at Camp Half-Blood, especially by Annabeth. Oh my, feels just like I don't try Look so good I might die All I know is everybody loves me Head down, swaying to my own sound Flashes in my face now All I know is everybody loves me Everybody loves me 2. Light Me Up - The Pretty Reckless As a daughter of Athena, Annabeth is smart, pretty, and a brilliant strategist, but she finds Percy's ignorance somewhat annoying. Despite this, the two are drawn to each other. Is what I'm saying seem to haunt you? Well, that's okay Cause what I'm saying about you is not okay I've got it on my mind to change my ways But I don't think I can be anything other than me 3. Other Side of the World - KT Tunstall Annabeth and Percy seem to spend a significant amount of energy hiding what is bothering them, despite the fact that they seem to be growing closer together. On comes the panic light Holding on with fingers and feelings alike But the time has come To move along Then the fire fades away But most of everyday Is full of tired excuses But it's too hard to say I wish it were simple But we give up easily 4. 15 Step - Radiohead Each fight puts everything back at square one, and it happens a lot - especially in regards to Luke. How come I end up where I started? How come I end up where I went wrong? I won't take my eyes off the ball again First you reel me out and then you cut the string 5. Talking to Sirens - Thirteen Senses Annabeth convinces Percy to let her listen to the siren's song as they pass by, but he ends up going to retrieve her after she cuts her bonds and swims toward them. He pulls her underwater long enough to help her recover from the vision shown to her. And you must have come quickly When you heard the sirens talk to me And you know your way perfectly And you have such rhythm in your feet 6. Feel the Silence - Goo Goo Dolls [SPOILER] Luke's betrayal is a very sore spot for Annabeth, who wants to believe that he can still be saved. Percy tries to comfort her, but nothing he says can seem to console her, nor can he ever say what he feels. And if we feel the silence Holding this all inside us Looking for something more to say I don't know where I'm going Only know where I been But you move through my soul like a hurricane wind We've been so lost for so long I don't know how to get back again 7. Fill My Little World - The Feeling [SPOILER] "'You know...' She brushed her hair behind her ear, like she does when she's nervous. 'This whole thing with Beckendorf and Silena. It kind of makes you think. About..what's important. About losing people who are important.'" You misunderstand me All I wanted was some evidence that you really like me (you really like me) 8. Starlight - Muse [SPOILER] Percy takes a dip in the Styx in order to be evenly matched with Luke and it is Annabeth's voice that helps strengthen his lifeline and her memory that pulls him out of the river. I just wanted to hold you in my arms My life you electrify my life let's conspire to ignite all the souls that would die to feel alive I'll never let you go 9. Maps - Yeah Yeah Yeah They may not like each other 100% of the time, but Annabeth recognizes that sometimes she needs Percy's help. Made off Don't stray My kind's your kind I'll stay the same Pack up Don't stray Oh, stay stay stay Oh, stay stay stay 10. Hurricane Drunk - Florence + The Machine [SPOILER] When Annabeth shows up early for a 'date' with Percy, she finds him with Rachel Dare, who seems to know that Percy is a demigod. Percy tries to explain, but Annabeth seems too angry to want to discuss it, much to Percy's confusion. And you can't save me now I'm in the grip of a hurricane I'm gonna blow myself away I'm going out, I'm gonna drink myself to death And in the crowd, I see you with someone else I brace myself 'cause I know it's going to hurt But I like to think at least things can't get any worse 11. Mountain and the Sea - Ingrid Michaelson Percy may be a "Seaweed Brain", and Annabeth might never admit it, but she will be there for him the way he is there for her. You call me a mountain And I call you the sea I'll stand tall and certain And watch you swallow me You can move me if you want to You can move a mountain, you can move a mountain You can move me if you want to You can move everything, you can move everything 12. Perfect Circle - Katie Melua Though Annabeth still harbors some feelings for Luke, she seems to be drawn more and more to Percy, who seems to share a common bond with her. Why am I fighting, what's it for, Must let my mask drop to the floor. My scars I shouldn't hide from the people who are on my side, Rolling up my sleeves to fight against, All the things I locked up and all the things I fenced. But it's time to let it out so we can build a brand new castle. 13. Ocean Size - Goldfinger All Percy ever wanted from Annabeth was the truth, but extracting it is always harder than he anticipates - especially when she knows more about him than he knows about himself. Now you're acting like you just don't care Like you could find this one anywhere It isn't fair My life is an open book My feelings and my meanings Are oceansized Long before I ever met you 14. Cant' Help Falling In Love - Ingrid Michaelson Despite their differences, their actions speak louder than any words they manage to get out. Wise me say, 'Only fools rush in' But I can't help falling in love with you Shall I stay? Would it be a sin if I can't help falling in love with you 15. Love Story Meets Viva La Vida - Jon Schmidt [Instrumental] When the world you know may end at any moment, it's important to take stock of the small moments of happiness the gods grant you.
