Fandom: The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky
Subject: General
Title: we were infinite
Warnings: Quotes! So, some spoilers.
Notes: I almost didn't put this together because I figured, "Oh, Perks of Being a Wallflower is full of mixtapes, someone must have mixed that already" and I was ABSOLUTELY APPALLED that it was nowhere in fanmix's memories. SO. There's this. Also: some songs are in .mp4 format. You can convert them here.
o1. Blind Melon - No Rain: All I can say is that my life is pretty plain, I like watching the puddles gather rain.
So, this is my life. And I want you to know that I am both happy and sad and I'm still trying to figure out how that could be.
o2. The Smiths - The Boy with the Thorn in His Side: And when you want to live, how do you start? Where do you go? Who do you need to know?
"Do you always think this much, Charlie?"
"Is that bad?" I just wanted someone to tell me the truth.
"Not necessarily. It's just sometimes people use thought to not participate in life."
o3. Nirvana - Lithium: I'm so happy, 'cause today I found my friends; they're in my head.
Then, Patrick pointed at me, and said something to Bob.
"He's something, isn't he?"
Bob nodded his head. Patrick then said something I don't think I'll ever forget.
"He's a wallflower."
And Bob really nodded his head. And the whole room nodded their head. And I started to feel nervous in the Bob way, but Patrick didn't let me get too nervous. He sat down next to me. "You see things. You keep quiet about them. And you understand."
o4. Arcade Fire - No Cars Go
When we got out of the tunnel, Sam screamed this really fun scream, and there it was. Downtown. Lights on buildings and everything that makes you wonder. Sam sat down and started laughing. Patrick started laughing. I started laughing.
And in that moment, I swear we were infinite.
o5. The Beatles - Something: You're asking me, will my love grow? I don't know, I don't know.
I used to listen to it all the time when I was little and thinking about grown-up things. I would go to my bedroom window and stare at my reflection in the glass and the trees behind it and just listen to the song for hours. I decided then that when I met someone I thought was as beautiful as the song, I should give it to that person. And I didn't mean beautiful on the outside. I meant beautiful in all ways. So, I was giving it to Sam.
o6. Greg Laswell - Comes and Goes (In Waves): It comes and goes in waves, I am only let to wonder why. It comes and goes in waves, I am only let to wonder why, why I try.
and for the first time in my life, I understand the end of that poem.
And I never wanted to. You have to believe me.
o7. Belle & Sebastian - Get Me Away From Here, I'm Dying: Oh, I'll settle down with some old story, about a boy who's just like me. Thought there was love in everything and everyone, you're so naive!
After I read the poem that compares the woman's hands to flowers and rain, I put the book down and went to the window. I stared at my reflection and the trees behind it for a long time. Not thinking anything. Not feeling anything. Not hearing the record. For hours.
Something really is wrong with me. And I don't know what it is.
o8. Matthew Luke Sandoval - Pretty Good Year [Tori Amos cover]: Some things are melting now. Well, what's it gonna take till my baby's alright?
So tonight, he dropped me off at home. It was the night we went back to the park where men meet. And the night he saw Brad there with some guy. Brad was too into what he was doing to notice us. Patrick didn't say anything. He didn't do anything. He just walked back to the car. And we drove home in silence. On the way, he threw the bottle of wine out the window. And it landed with a crash. And this time he didn't try to kiss me like he had every night. He just thanked me for being his friend. And drove away.
o9. Explosions in the Sky - Our Last Days as Children
I wanted to tell you about us running. There was this beautiful sunset. And there was this hill. The hill up to the eighteenth green where Patrick and I spit wine from laughing. And just a few hours before, Sam and Patrick and everyone I love and know had their last day of high school ever. And I was happy because they were happy. My sister even let me hug her in the hallway. Congratulations was the word of the day. So, Sam and Patrick and I went to the Big Boy and smoked cigarettes. Then, we went walking, waiting it for it to be time to go to Rocky Horror. And we were talking about things that seemed important at the time. And we were looking up that hill. And then Patrick started running after the sunset. And Sam immediately followed him. And I saw them in silhouette. Running after the sun. Then, I started running. And everything was as good as it could be.
1o. Sea Wolf - I Made a Resolution: But before I open my eyes, I think I'll make this resolution: "No, I'm never gonna sing another sad song for as long as I live."
So, I guess we are who we are for a lot of reasons. And maybe we'll never know most of them. But even if we don't have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there. We can still do things. And we can try to feel okay about them.
