(This is a long post. I warn you in advance.)
I made a fanmix. First time doing so, and I really hope the files I uploaded online work. I haven't tried downloading yet so... who knows. (Link is at the bottom, if you don't feel like reading the rest of the journal.) [EDIT: I've gotten no problems so far, so the files DO work. Just informing.]
So. This is a Sirius/Remus fanmix, what else? My biggest shipping so naturally it deserves my test run and all. I'll list the songs here and also the pretty cover sheet thing.
(Click to make bigger) Awesome background, that is. I made it in Photoshop. I'm proud. The moon is my favourite part.
Song list and other info:
(song/artist/why chosen)
01: Out of Sight- Hoverphonics (I just think the lyrics fit PRETTY DARN WELL. And it's real catchy.)
Tell me why
Do you always forgive the things I do to you
You're too good
Or am I not too bad?
Those six years
Were the best that ever happen to me and you
No regrets after all this fear
Well always be best friends
Something between you and me
02: For the Actor- Mates of State
03: Let Love In: Goo Goo Dolls
04: The Promise- When in Rome (I've always loved this song, and it just seems to fit well. It's a good soundtrack song I guess.)
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say.
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be.
But if you'll wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me,
I promise, I promise you I will.
05: Fidelity- Regina Spektor (I wasn't going to include this song, but I did. I tried to figure out from whose point of view this could be from, but it kinda fits for both.)
I never loved nobody fully
Always one foot on the ground
And by protecting my heart truly
I got lost
In the sounds
...
Suppose I never, ever met you
Suppose we never fell in love
Suppose I never, ever let you kiss me so sweet and so soft
06: Young Folks- Peter, Bjorn, and John
07: The Real Thing- Gwen Stefani (Now, I don't really like this singer, but this song is OK. I heard it in an AMV I was watching and it stuck with me. Kinda catchy actully.)
08: Age of Consent- New Order
09: First Time- Lifehouse (This probably got overplayed by now, but I made this fanmix a while ago before the song got popular. Still, the lyrics are really spot on.)
I'm feeling alive all over again
As deep as the scars under my skin
Like being in love, you said, for the first time
Maybe I'm wrong, I'm feeling right
Where I belong with you tonight
Like being in love with you for the first time
10: Little Wonders- Rob Thomas (This has always been my Sirius/Remus song ever since I first heard it. The chorus always gives me chills for whatever reason. Basically a really good song.)
11: All Good Things- Nelly Furtado (Another song that gives me chills. The opening instrumentals have a renaissance feel I think. Pretty neat. And I adore the lyrics, especially the chorus.)
Well the dogs were barking at a new moon
Whistling a new tune
Hoping it would come soon
...
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end?
12: Memories- Within Temptation
13: Who Knew- Pink (This song is just ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. It fits so well. Like, this would be from Remus's point of view for sure. Think that in the time line of when MWPP left Hogwarts, three years later Sirius was sent to Azkaban, it all fits. I'm just astounded by it all. Yet, such a sad song. I would post the whole lyrics, but that would take up too much space. So go
here instead.)
14: How to Save a Life- The Fray (One of my all-time favourite songs. Had to be included, because it still fits.)
To download: Go
here. If the download doesn't work, then let me know. I'll re-upload it.
Thanks for putting up with my rambling. If you downloaded this fanmix, you are so AWESOME!
