Wow... so this is like... the first mix I have posted in awhile... I've been kind of dead on here ooooops... which is a little ridiculous, since I have like 5 mixes which are nearly complete. C'est la vie.
Right, right, what do I say about this mix? One of my biggest things when reading The Hunger Games was "OHMIFUCKINGGODFINNICK", from nearly the second he showed up in Catching Fire with his sugar cubes and his lack of shame about going around bare ass nekkid I was hopelessly in love with him. And then along came Annie, poor mad Annie ... and like I always do, I fell for the pairing where the gorgeous, semi-narcissistic boy is in love with a damaged little lunatic. What can I say? Gets me every time.
So this here mix follows them as children in District 4, to both of them being reaped in their respective Hunger Games, through to Finnick's first appearance in Catching Fire to the end of Mockingjay. And well, at 33 songs ... this mix sort of turned into a bleeding monster.... but anyway, enjoy, or something?
1. Swimming - Abel Korzeniowski
(instrumental)
2. Paradise - Coldplay
[Finnick]
When she was just a girl
She expected the world
But it flew away from her reach
So she ran away in her sleep
And dreamed of para- para- paradise
Para- para- paradise
Para- para- paradise
Every time she closed her eyes
3. Cast A Hook - Laura Veirs
[Annie]
Summer sky falling into the sea, taking part of me
See the bones on the sand in the light
All the heards of the sea rushing by, pay no mind
To the dancing reflections gone wild
And at night a fractured star fell
And pierced right through the thick of me
I cried out in pain and joy, yes
I'm not dead, not numb, not withering
Like a falling leaf who keeps her green
I'm turning bright in the sea
Where a merman with a twinkle casts a hook in me
4. When You Were Young - The Killers
[Finnick]
You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch him now, here he come
He doesn’t look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentleman
Like you imagined when you were young
5. Under Your Spell - Desire
[Annie]
I don't eat, I don't sleep
I do nothing but think of you
I don't eat, I don't sleep
I do nothing but think of you
6. Swim Until You Can't See Land - Frightened Rabbit
[Finnick]
Up to my knees now
Do I wade? Do I dive?
The sea has seen my like before, though it's my first and perhaps last time
Let's call me a baptist, call this a drowning of the past
She is there on the shoreline throwing stones at my back
So I swim until you can't see land
7. I Follow Rivers [Lost Sessions Version] - Lykke Li
[Annie]
Oh I beg you, can I follow
Oh I ask you why not always
Be the ocean where unravel
Be my only, be the water and I'm wading
You're my river running high, run deep run wild
8. Transatlanticism - Death Cab For Cutie
[Finnick]
The rhythm of my footsteps crossing flatlands
to your door have been silenced forever more.
The distance is quite simply much too far for me to row
It seems farther than ever before
Oh no.
I need you so much closer
I need you so much closer
9. What The Water Gave Me - Florence and The Machine
[Annie]
‘Cause they took your loved ones
But returned them in exchange for you
But would you have it any other way?
Would you have it any other way?
You couldn't have it any other way
‘Cause she’s a cruel mistress
And a bargain must be made
But oh, my love, don’t forget me
When I let the water take me
10. Night Terror - Jaques Digestives
[Finnick]
I woke up and she was screaming.
I'd left her dreaming.
I roll over and shake her tightly,
and whisper:
"If they want you, then they're gonna have to fight me,"
11. Born To Die - Lana Del Rey
[Annie]
Come on take a walk on the wild side
Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain
You like your girls insane
Choose your last words, this is the last time
Cause you and I, we were born to die
12. Rubik's Cube - Athlete
[Finnick]
The world is too heavy
Too big for my shoulders
Come take this weight off me now
1000's of answers
To one simple question
Come take this weight off me now
13. Wonderwall - Cat Power
[Annie]
Because maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all
You're my wonderwall
14. Here I Dreamt I Was An Architect - The Decemberists
[Finnick]
And I am nothing of a builder
But here I dreamt I was an architect
And I built this balustrade
To keep you home, to keep you safe
From the outside world
But the angles and the corners
Even though my work is unparalleled
They never seemed to meet
This structure fell about our feet
And we were free to go
15. Clam, Crab, Cockle, Cowrie - Joanna Newsom
[Annie]
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
16. Your Protector - Fleet Foxes
[Finnick]
You walk along the stream
Your head caught in a waking dream
Your protector's coming home
Coming home
As you lay to die beside me, baby
On the morning that you came
Would you wait for me?
The other one would wait for me
17. Transatlanticism - Kate Adams
[Annie]
I need you so much closer
I need you so much closer
I need you so much closer
18. Skinny Love - Bon Iver
[Finnick]
Come on skinny love just last the year
Pour a little salt, we were never here
19. Fish - Wye Oak
[Annie]
They who made you, they made me too
Quiet like you, violent like you
I've seen you there, wild in my dreams
When you return, go to the sea
Air is your permanent struggle to breathe
When you return, go to the sea
20. Down The Burning Ropes - James Vincent McMorrow
[Finnick]
Cause nothing moves in the warm air
And words that once would cut like a knife,
They just hang in the cloud and you're
Pushed by the lord,
But you're pulled by the crowds and
You're overboard, you're overboard
Oh my God, she's overboard
My love she's overboard
She's overboard
My love she's overboard
21. Love Song - Mariee Sioux
[Annie]
however far away I will always love you however
long I stay I will always love you whatever
words I say I will always love you I will always
love you
22. My Body Is A Cage - Arcade Fire
[Finnick]
I'm living in an age
Whose name I don't know
Though the fear keeps me moving
Still my heart beats so slow
My body is a cage that keeps me
From dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key
23. Sea Of Love - Cat Power
[Annie]
Come with me my love
To the sea, the sea of love
I want to tell you
How much I love you
24. Such Great Heights - Iron and Wine
[Finnick]
I am thinking it's a sign that the freckles
In our eyes are mirror images and when
We kiss they're perfectly aligned
And I have to speculate that God himself
Did make us into corresponding shapes like
Puzzle pieces from the clay
And true, it may seem like a stretch, but
Its thoughts like this that catch my troubled
Head when you're away when I am missing you to death
25. Never Let Me Go [Clams Casino Remix] - Florence and The Machine
[Annie]
And it's breaking over me
A thousand miles down to the sea bed
Found the place to rest my head
Never let me go
Never let me go
And the arms of the ocean are carrying me
And all this devotion was rushing out of me
In the crushes of heaven for a sinner like me
But the arms of the ocean delivered me
26. Your Bones - Of Monsters And Men
[Finnick]
In the spring we made a boat
Out of feathers, out of bones.
We set fire to our homes,
Walking barefoot in the snow.
Distant rhythm of the drum
As we drifted towards the storm.
Baby lion lost his teeth,
Now they're swimming in the sea.
27. Samson - Regina Spektor
[Annie]
You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first, I loved you first
Beneath the stars came fallin' on our heads
But they're just old light, they're just old light
Your hair was long when we first met
28. Set The Fire To The Third Bar - Snow Patrol & Martha Wainwright
[Finnick & Annie]
I'm miles from where you are,
I lay down on the cold ground
I, I pray that something picks me up
And sets me down in your warm arms
29. To Build A Home - The Cinematic Orchestra
[Finnick]
And I built a home
For you
For me
Until it disappeared
From me
From you
And now, it's time to leave and turn to dust
30. Dark Paradise - Lana Del Rey
[Annie]
Every time I close my eyes
It's like a dark paradise
No one compares to you
I'm scared that you won't be waiting on the other side
Every time I close my eyes
It's like a dark paradise
No one compares to you
But there's no you, except in my dreams tonight
31. See You Soon (Blue Room Version) - Coldplay
[Finnick]
So they came for you
They come snapping at your heels
They come snapping at your heels
But don't break your back if you ever heard this
But don't answer that
Cause in a bullet-prove vest
With the windows all closed
I'll be doing my best
and I'll see you soon
32. The Last Man - Clint Mansell
(instrumental)
33. My Love - Sia
[Annie]
My love, leave yourself behind
Beat inside me, leave you blind
My love, you have found peace
You were searching for release
You gave it all into the call
You took a chance and
You took the fall for us
You came thoughtfully
Loved me faithfully
You taught me honor
You did it for me
Tonight you will sleep for good
You will wait for me, my love
