NJO fanmix
Notes, cover art, song list, and zip behind the cut!
About
A lot of people hated the New Jedi Order. And if you read it without getting pissed at least every now and then, you're obviously not a Star Wars fan.
But still, it wasn't awful. It had redeeming qualities. So I decided I needed to make a mix. It shifted from a Solo Brat mix to an Anakin mix, to an Anakin and Tahiri mix, to a Luke, Mara, and Ben mix. In the end, I decided to make a general mix for most of the major characters. Sure, there are a few that didn't make it, and yes, I did favor some characters above others, because if I like a character better I'm more likely to find a song that fits them.
Anyway, enjoy!

Bono - Children Of The Revolution
Well you can bump and grind
If it’s good for your mind
But you won’t fool the children of the revolution
Oh no, no, no
Jaina, Jacen, and Anakin, and their friends are growing up and learning they must do their duty as Jedi and make difficult choices.
Guns ‘N’ Roses - Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door
Mama put my guns in the ground
I can't shoot them anymore
That cold black cloud is comin' down
Feels like I'm knockin' on heaven's door
Chewbacca dies, changing the game for the rest of the war.
Evanescence - All That I’m Living For
I can feel the night beginning
Separate me from the living
Understanding me
After all I've seen
Piecing every thought together
Find the words to make me better
If I only knew how to pull myself apart
Mara’s disease has left her fighting for her life, and hoping not to become another casualty, she tries to find what the cause of it is.
Heather Nova - Blood Of Me
You're the blood of me
You're the truth that hurts
You're the memory
You're the drug that works
Why do people change
When hearts still beat the same?
Han and Anakin are split and torn over Chewie’s death, and a rift has formed between Leia and Jaina.
U2 - Tryin’ To Throw Your Arms Around The World
Nothin’ much to say I guess
Just the same as all the rest

Like a fish needs a bicycle
When you’re tryin’ to throw your arms around the world
Luke is plagued with indecision, only wanting to keep everyone safe.
My Chemical Romance - Welcome To The Black Parade
He said, "Son when you grow up,
Would you be the savior of the broken, the beaten and the damned?"
He said "Will you defeat them,
Your demons, and all the non believers, the plans that they have made?
Because one day I'll leave you,
A phantom to lead you in the summer,
To join the black parade."
Ben is born, and the Skywalker legacy continues through him.
The Ark - One Of Us Is Gonna Die Young
We gotta hurry in our worry and get done today
Cause one of us is gonna die young
Let’s put our money where out mouth is and get out today
Cause one of us is gonna die young
The Mrykr Strike Team were young Jedi who were ready and willing to give their lives for the galaxy, and they proved it.
Megan McCauley - Die For You
And I bleed you since I've healed you
Your pain escapes through me
'Cause I breathe you, but I hate you
'Cause they say we could never be
It seems the pain's been traded
Since I pulled you through
And now my mind's been so jaded
And I would kill myself for you
I'd die for you
Anakin saved his brother from torture and he saved his sister from death while consumed by guilt.
Relient K - Who I Am Hates Who I’ve Been
Stop right there, I never should have said
that it's the very moment that
I wish that I could take back
I'm sorry for the person I became
I'm sorry that it took so long for me to change
Han worries that Anakin never knew how sorry he was for blaming him for Chewbacca’s death.
Everclear - I Want To Die A Beautiful Death
Everybody they just want to forget
Everybody wants to feel like they did when the sky looked good
And the world was perfect
I don't care
I just want to die pretty
I just want to get lost in the motion
I just want to get lost in my beautiful self
I just want to get lost in the city
I don't want to live forever
I want to die a beautiful death
Jaina wants to block out the pain of her brothers’ deaths by causing more.

I watch the heavens and I find a calling
Something I can do to change this moment
Stay close to me while the sky is falling
Don't wanna be left alone, don't wanna be alone

Papa Roach - Scars
I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
My weakness is that I care too much
My scars remind me that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel
Jacen’s view of the world is unsteady and constantly changing as he deals with his grief and the war.
Oasis - Little By Little
You know I didn't mean what I just said
But my God woke up on the wrong side of His bed
And it just don't matter now
Little by little we gave you everything you ever dreamed of
As little by little the wheels of your life have slowly fallen off
Little by little you have to live it all in all your life
And all the time I just ask myself why are you really here?
The Jedi fight for the support of the government that often shirks them even as they protect the citizens.
Elton John - Rocket Man
And all this science I don't understand
It's just my job five days a week
A rocket man, a rocket man
Luke carries the weight of the world on his shoulders while searching for Zonama Sekot.
The Calling - Our Lives
Cause these are the days worth living
These are the years we're given
And these are the moments, these are the times
Let's make the best out of our lives
Even if hope was shattered I know it wouldn't matter
These are the moments, these are the times
Let's make the best out of our lives
The good guys win and the bad guys get their special paradise planet, and they all embark on their own journeys to continue living their lives.
