In Our Bedroom After the War - An Eliot/Parker/Hardison Fanmix
I didn't forget your requests, but I had to take this out of my system ^^
This post is dedicated to xxzauberinxx, aredhel4, criandomalvas, luxbella, __sele__, xliriumx, snitch_rbk, musicalbubbles, targaryen and komadreja because they're AWESOME. Ok, that's a lot of people..but trust me, they are ;)
I said this was going to be a non-shippy fanmix and...well, I think it works both ways. I was thinking about the history of these three lonely, broken people who've spent their wholes lifes as outcasters and how now they've found each other. And even if they'll never admit it, they actually like having each other around. They finally belong to something that means something to them and even if they only have one thing in common, they make it work. And yes, they have their little fights but at the end of the day, they accept each other's flaws and just enjoy each other's company. They stick together because they cover their blind spots, not just in the line of work but in their lives too.
I've tried to express that with the songs I picked, so that's probably why some of them can be seen as love songs. Even if it's a dysfunctional kind of love (a very cute and fun to watch one ^)
About the artwork..Yeah, I have no idea where that came from. I can only say it actually made sense in my head. I guess I was going for something fun and pulp. I didn't wanted to do anything too angsty because despite of their past, and how broken and emotionally crippled they are, this it's not an angsty relationship, it's surprisingly innocent and naive, which is why I find it so wonderful and refreshing...And the idea of these three characters as some kind of "twisted" superheroes from a comic book was too irresistible (They use their "superpowers" to help people, after all, even if they usually break the law to do it...)
The fact that it seems like they're always looking for trouble is probably guilty of the explosion behind them. And because I like this show's explosions a little bit too much :p
IN OUR BEDROOM AFTER THE WAR - An Eliot/Parker/Hardison Fanmix
Download the zip (songs + graphics) here or here
01. Ask - The Smiths || Play / Download
If it's not love
Then it's the bomb
Then it's the bomb
That will bring us together
02. Metric - Gimme Sympathy || Play / Download
Don't go, stay with the all-unknown
Stay away from the hooks
All the chances we took
We're so close to something better left unknown
03. Fair - Remy Zero || Play / Download
When you'd hide your songs would die
So I'd hide yours with mine
And all my words were bound to fail
I know you won't fail
04. Fake Empire - The National || Play / Download
Turn the light out, say goodnight
No thinking for a little while
Let's not try to figure out everything at once
It’s hard to keep track of you falling through the sky
We’re half-awake in a fake empire
05. Christmas TV - Slow Club || Play / Download
It's okay to have scars, they will make you who you are
It's okay to have fear, as long as you're not scared of coming here
And in the middle of the night, just call if you wanna talk
'Cause you know that I wanna talk too
06. The Modern Leper - Frightened Rabbit || Play / Download
I'm lying on the ground now
And you walk in through the only door
Well, I have lost my eyesight like I said I would
But I still know
That that is you in front of me
And you are back for even more of exactly the same
Well, are you a masochist?
You love a modern leper on his last leg.
07. You Are No God - Laura Marling || Play / Download
We will never leave this place,
We need never feel alone,
We will learn to feel quite clean
In this new skin that we have grown
Because our young and healthy bones
Would never lead us astray.
08. Tender - Feeder || Play / Download
Turn over everything
Time can heal us again
I'm tender in your arms
Reaching inside of me
Bringing the love I need
The loneliness has gone
09. Fill Our Wounds - In-Flight Safety || Play / Download
We are the fire
We don't back down
It's in our blood
Red
Pound for pound
(......)
It's in our bed and in our room
We are in love though we leave too soon
We open up to become strong
We are in love
We don't know with what.
10. In Our Bedroom After the War - Stars || Play / Download
We won, or we think we did, when you went away, you were just a kid
And if you lost it all, and you lost it, we will still be there when the war is over.
Lift your head and look out the window
Stay away for the rest of the day and watch the time go
Listen the bird sings, listen the bells rings
All the living are dead, and the dead are all living
The war is over and we are beggining
Here it comes, here comes the first day
Here it comes, here comes the first day
It starts up in our bedroom after the war.
This last one is a bonus track because some lines work for the trio, but I think the whole song actually works better for the 5 members of the family team.
11. [Bonus Track] Till the End of Time - DeVotchKa || Play / Download
And everybody knows where this is heading
Forgive me for forgetting
Our hearts irrevocably combined
Star-crossed souls slow dancing
Retreating and advancing
Across the sky until the end of time
Like sisters and brothers we lean on each other
Like sweethearts carved on a headstone
Oh why even bother, it’ll be here tomorrow
It’s not worth it sleeping alone.
