So I had originally hoped to have this thing out before Season 4 premiered, but you know, the best laid plans of Mice and Men (especially since I know that this season is going to just dump all over my OTP). The sad, sad fact of the matter being that I had been working on this mix since Season 2 ended. No, seriously, that whole time, and then I kept putting off finishing it because ... well, I have no idea why. But with Season 4 coming I was like "This is it! I will sit down and finish it!!!! .... later." So it wasn't until like three days ago that I really began to crack down, and it ended up taking way longer then I thought it would. Oh well, what can you do?
Anyway. I know that tons and tons and tons of people are *NOT* on board with this ship, and that the majority of True Blood Fans out there much prefer Eric/Sookie, but I can't help it, I always have and always will love Sookie and her southern gentlemen Mr.Compton. And hand to God, I will go down with this ship. It doesn't hurt at all that I am totally in love with Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer. But enough of my inane babble, here be the music.
1. Fidelity - Regina Spektor
[Sookie]
I never loved nobody fully
always one foot on the ground
and by protecting my heart truly
I got lost in the sounds
I hear in my mind
all these voices
I hear in my mind
all these words
I hear in mind
all this music
and it breaks my heart...
2. Dear Catastrophe Waitress - Belle & Sebastian
[Bill]
Dear catastrophe waitress
Dear catastrophe waitress
I'm sorry that you seem to have
The weight of the world over you
I cherish your smile
There's a word of peace on your lips
Say it, and with tenderness I'll cherish you
Dear catastrophe girlfriend
Dear catastrophe girlfriend
I'm sorry if he hit you with a full can of Coke
It's no joke
Your face is bleeding
You'll soon be leaving this town
To the clowns who worship
No one but themselves
No one but themselves
3. Hounds of Love - Kate Bush
[Sookie]
When I was a child
Running in the night
Afraid of what might be
Hiding in the dark
Hiding in the street
And of what was following me
Now hounds of love are hunting
I've always been a coward
And I don't know what's good for me
4. Fragile Bird - City and Colour
[Bill]
These cold nightmares,
They make her worse for wear.
Lost in the dark,
She's got a heavy heart.
And when she wakes,
In her fragile state.
Well she calls my name,
Hoping that I keep her safe.
5. Safe and Sound - Azure Ray
[Sookie]
with every word, I live again
through the eyes of another
we'll meet at night wet from the rain
and surprise each other
with how we take away the pain
could you be the one to find me safe and sound?
love is how it's lost, not how it's found
6. Red Right Ankle - The Decemberists
[Bill]
This is the story of the boys who loved you
Who love you now and loved you then
And some were sweet and some were cold and snuffed you
And some just layed around in bed
And some, they crumbled you straight to your knees
Did it cruel, did it tenderly
Some, they crawled their way into your heart
To rend your ventricles apart
This is the story of the boys who loved you
7. Clam, Crab, Cockle, Cowrie - Joanna Newsom
[Sookie]
I do as I please
Now I'm on my knees
Your skin is something that I stir into my tea
And I am watching you
and you are starry, starry, starry
and I'm tumbling down, and I check a frown
8. Conversation 16 - The National
[Bill]
I'm a confident liar
Had my head in the oven so you'd know where I'll be
I'll try to be more romantic
I want to believe in everything you believe
I was less than amazing
Do not know what all the troubles are for
Fall asleep in your branches
You're the only thing I ever want anymore
Now we'll leave the silver city 'cause all the silver girls
Gave us black dreams
Leave the silver city to all the silver girls
Everything means everything
I was afraid, I'd eat your brains
I was afraid, I'd eat your brains
'Cause I'm evil
'Cause I'm evil
'Cause I'm evil
9. Holding Out - Sharon Van Etten
[Sookie]
And the right thing to do is wait
Holding out
Holding out
Holding out for you
I am strange, believed in fairy tales at a young age
Circumstance now I kick my self in the pants
Down the street talk to you, tires screech
Isn't it strange I had a chance now were holding out
Hoping that the last string won't break
I'm nodding out
With a smile stuck on my face
And then you came to me in a far away way
And I'm bring you something I want you to have
It's the biggest part of my heart that I still got
Hoping arms
Know I'll be holding out
I'll be holding out
10. Heartbeat - Blackbud
[Bill]
Oh tell me what is colour,
When all the world is black and white,
And tell me what you reach for,
When all the stars are out of sight,
Oh tell me what you'd give,
To be woken by a kiss in the morning light,
Do you feel alright,
You know much more than I do,
I just stay so safe at home,
Much too scared to feel what I do,
Must you always live alone,
You make my heart beat,
Fall down at your feet,
You make my heart beat,
I fall down at your feet
11. Wonderwall - Cat Power
[Sookie]
And all the roads that lead you there were winding
And all the lights that light the way are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you
But I don't know how
I said maybe
You're going to be the one that saves me
And after all
You're my wonderwall
12. Brand New Colony (Acoustic) - Ben Gibbard
[Bill]
I'll be the waterwings
That save you if you start drowning
In an open tab when your judgement's on the brink
I'll be the phonograph
That plays your favorite albums back
As you're lying there, drifting off to sleep
I'll be the platform shoes
And undo what heredity's done to you
You won't have to strain to look into my eyes
I'll be your winter coat
Buttoned and zipped straight to the throat
With the collar up so you won't catch cold
I want to take you far
From the cynics in this town
And kiss you on the mouth
We'll cut our bodies free
From the tethers of this scene
Start a brand new colony
Where everything will change
13. Wish You Were Here - Rasputina
[Sookie]
How I wish,
How I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls
swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have you found?
The Same old fears.
Wish you we're here
14. Love Will Tear Us Apart - Hawksley Workman
[Bill]
Do you cry out in your sleep, all my failings exposed?
Get a taste in my mouth as desperation takes hold
Is it something so good just can't function no more?
When love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
15. Old Stone - Laura Marling
[Sookie]
And Honey I was never gonna change,
And honey you were never gonna change
But you love, don't you love, it that way?
Old stone, ten thousand years and you're still on your own
Don?t you love, don't you love, me that way?
16. Fast Blood - Frightened Rabbit
[Bill]
and now I, I tremble,
because this fumble
has become biblical
I feel like I just died twice
was reborn again
for all our dirty sins
and the fast blood, fast blood, fast blood
hurricanes through me
and then it rips my roof away with her fire heads
this is the longest kiss
good night
good night
and then I fall down
I stumble
and she said, good night
17. Animals - Sara Lov
[Sookie]
You and I, we'll never realize
Fleeting moments that pass by
Are all we ever have.
Either in doubt or never in doubt,
Always run away, always run away.
What kind of animal are we?
I always knew you'd make a fool of me.
And I could never look you in the eye,
You prove me right so do not ask me why.
What kind of animal are we?
I should have never let you into me.
But I never, never learned to swim
Until you came around and pushed me in
18. No One's Gonna Love You - Band of Horses
[Bill]
It's looking like a limb torn off
Or altogether just taken apart
We're reeling through an endless fall
We are the ever-living ghost of what once was
But no one is ever gonna love you more than I do
No one's gonna love you more than I do
And anything to make you smile
It is my better side of you to admire
But they should never take so long
Just to be over then back to another one
But no one is ever gonna love you more than I do
No one's gonna love you more than I do
19. Turning Tables - Adele
[Sookie]
Next time I'll be braver,
I'll be my own savior.
And if I'm the cause for me,
Next time I'll be braver,
I'll be my own savior,
Standing on two feet.
I won't let you close enough to hurt me, no.
I won't ask you, you to just desert me.
I can't give you what you think you gave me.
It's time to say goodbye to turning tables.
To turning tables
20. Slow Show - The National
[Bill]
I better get my shit together, better gather my shit in
You could drive a car through my head in five minutes
From one side of it to the other
I wanna hurry home to you
Put on a slow, dumb show for you
Crack you up
So you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
God I'm very very frightening
I'll overdo it
You know I dreamed about you
For twenty-nine years before I saw you
You know I dreamed about you
I missed you for
For twenty-nine years
