(no subject)
I have no idea why I did this. I'm not a fanmix-making person. Heck, I'm not even a fanmix-downloading person mostly because I never know where to search for these things. I was listening to the radio the other day (and by 'other day' I mean about three weeks ago) and I swear three songs played in succession which could all have been sung by Puck to Kurt or vice versa. I figured it was just *~meant to be*~ to do something with that. Soooo here we have it, my first ever fandom fanmix! Drumroll please, Finn...
I've Got You Under My Skin - Frank Sinatra
I'll be honest, I just wanted some Rat Pack all up in here. Puck singing 'Lady is a Tramp' is one of my favourite performances from the show and I think Mark Salling has the perfect voice for this style. I saw this song as something that comes pre-romantic relationship, when the two boys are just figuring out there's something there.
I'd sacrifice anything come what might / for the sake of having you near / in spite of a warning voice that comes in the night / and repeats, repeats in my ear / don't you know, little fool, you never can win? / Use your mentality, wake up to reality. / But each time that I do just the thought of you / makes me stop before I begin / 'cause I've got you under my skin
If You're Not The One - Daniel Bedingfield
This is one of the ones from the radio. I had a moment of semi paying attention to it --> taking notice of the lyrics --> imagining Kurt singing it --> dying of cute.
I don't wanna run away but I can't take it, I don't understand / If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Love Will Keep You Up All Night - Backstreet Boys
I love this song so much and I was really happy to get a BSB song in here 'cause I'm a total loser like that :D This is an early-relationship song from Kurt's POV: that moment when he realises he's *~in love*~
Nothing good in life is scripted. / It's not like we predicted / that the one you want / is gonna be the one you thought
Accidentally in Love - Counting Crows
Realisation on both sides. We have to ignore the pronouns in this song :'D
So she said what's the problem baby? / What's the problem I don't know / Well maybe I'm in love (love) / Think about it every time / I think about it / Can't stop thinking 'bout it
Goodnight and Go - Imogen Heap
Another Kurt POV one. No real reasoning behind this one other than the idea of him trying to fight his feelings (and failing) being kinda cute.
Why'd ya have to be so cute? / It's impossible to ignore you. / Must you make me laugh so much? / It's bad enough we get along so well...
Fast Car - Tracy Chapman
Finally, Puck's POV! This was the second fateful-radio-show song and again, I could picture Puck sitting on a stool playing guitar while he sang this to Kurt. Adorbs;;
You got a fast car / and I got a plan to get us out of here. / I been working at the convenience store, / managed to save just a little bit of money. / We won't have to drive too far / Just 'cross the border and into the city. / You and I can both get jobs / and finally see what it means to be living
Summerbreeze - Emiliana Torrini
Another Puck song, showing he can be thoughtful and he really does care.
It might have been a while / since you've been loved / by one who really loves you. / It might have been a while / since you could trust / that someone really cares
Crazy For You - Adele
I'm running out of words. This is Puck trying to prove to Kurt how he feels.
And every time I'm meant to be acting sensible / you drift into my head / and turn me into a crumbling fool
Life After You - Daughtry
This is one of my favourite songs ;o; I actually went back and forth as to whose POV this should be from. My first thought was Puck because again, I could imagine him singing it and playing his guitar, but then I thought that the second verse suited Kurt more. Buuut then I went back to Plan A, mostly because I imagined the story to go with it: Puck storming off after an argument and his car breaking down. When he lifts the bonnet (or 'hood' if you're American) and smoke is pouring from his engine, all he can think is "I wish Kurt was here because he knows about cars and could probably fix this", and then he realises how stupid the argument was and runs back home. THE END. Bonus secret: I almost gave up on this whole fanmix and just wrote this fic, but then I remembered I don't like writing songfic. Aaaand now this note is ridiculously long and I should just shut up. SORRY.
Believe me I won't stop at nothing / to see you so I've started running. / All that I'm after is a life full of laughter / as long as I'm laughing with you. / I'm thinking that all that still matters is love ever after / After the life we've been through / 'cause I know there's no life after you
Trying to Live My Life Without You - Bob Seger
I found this song on my itunes and have no idea how I got it, but when I listened to it I realised it could easily be a Puck song, one he sings trying to get Kurt to forgive him.
I had the worst reputation in town / for chasing all the women around. / I thought changing my way of living was hard to do / but theres nothing could prepare me for the changes you put me through
Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now - Starship
The song that started it all! This was the first one that I heard on the radio that made me go, "heh, this could totally be a Puckurt song..." It's pretty sappy but at the same time I think it's a song for unexpected couples who have a strong bond.
I'm so glad I found you / I'm not gonna lose you / Whatever it takes I will stay here with you. / Take it to the good times, / see it through the bad times, / whatever it takes is what I'm gonna do. / Let 'em say we.re crazy, what do they know? / Put your arms around me baby / don't ever let go. / Let the world around us just fall apart. / Baby we can make it if were heart to heart
You'll have to download the .zip to find out what the bonus song is! I debated including it properly on the FST but then I figured it could just be a cute little extra.
Get the .zip, including the front and back covers, here!
I am actually pretty pleased with how this all turned out, especially the artwork. I'm also glad it's done so now I can stop thinking about it XD Also this post is such a mess of html, I'm amazed I didn't mess anything up.
