ps. I made you a mix. I hope you like Taylor Swift!
Again, Jackie asked for a mix for the story she's going to start writing soon. Um. THIS TOOK WAY LONGER THAN I THOUGHT IT WOULD, and I'm still not entirely sure about it but... if nothing else, the songs are good. Also: Taylor Swift is not actually on this mix. I know, I know. SO DISAPPOINTING.
o1. Ryan Adams - Two: I got a really good heart, I just can’t catch a break. If I could, I’d treat you like you wanted me to, I promise.
o2. Julie Doiron - The Songwriter: They call me a songwriter. But you, you’re a songwriter.
o3. Little Joy - Unattainable: Oh, if you find yourself for once a lonely one, I’ll be waiting here with open arms.
o4. Ani Difranco - Nicotine: Love is a puzzle; some pieces they adjoin. It’s not like that with us, but I keep flipping that coin.
o5. Josh Ritter - Paint Your Picture: It’s tracing out your hollows, it is filling in your lines. There your curl finds you as you silhouette the window. When my brush forgives itself, spills lines upon your pillow, finds you standing in the middle of the lines you’ve laid down before. Try to trace my picture into yours.
o6. Counting Crows - Colorblind: I am covered in skin. No one gets to come in…
o7. Tori Amos - Sometimes Things Break [live improv]: Some things fall, does that mean I’m not worth hanging on for?
o8. Trespassers William - Fragment: Say, “I’m tired, I’m tired of being lonely.” Spell it out for me. If I lean, if I lean in, so close to you, I want to know there’s no space between me and you.
o9. The Arcade Fire - Crown of Love: I carved your name across my eyelids, you pray for rain I pray for blindness. If you still want me, please forgive me.
1o. The National - Start a War: You were always weird but I never had to hold you by the edges like I do now. Walk away now, and you’re gonna start a war.
11. Matt & Kim - I’ll Take Us Home: Here we stand with a wolf-like shadow. Here we stand in the end. Hey, New York, here’s our wolf-like shadow. Hey New York, our old friend.
12. Jenny Owen Youngs - First Person: And sure there’s a chance that we’ll both end up broken or split, but that’s my kind of risk.
ETA 6-20-10: Annnd the story is written. some pieces they adjoin; get out of here and go read.
