The only fellow who works "Always" better than Peeta
Now I've slept some, finally did my laundry and threw away some of the papers that clutter my desk, I'm in much better spirits. Granted, I still haven't booked a hostel for my stay in NY (the process of looking for them has been ruining my afternoons since Monday) and I absolutely have to do that, whereas I don't have to pick up and go to Chicago - but I sort of want to and then maybe I don't - it's hard, okay, decisions are a bitch in my universe. I don't know if going for two days is worth paying $400+ for the plane, too. Eh.
ANYWAY, to the music! The second installment is my take on Severus and Lily. See, I assume they didn't just fall out one fair morning, and I certainly hope Lily didn't marry James straight out of Hogwarts, so in that tortuous space is the setting of this fanmix. They were best friends, and they loved each other, and it was that kind of once in a lifetime relationship that grows strong naturally, fundamentally a part of each of them-- but Severus can be misguided and abrupt and not the easiest guy to be around, and Lily can see good in everyone, not only in Severus, which is sort of the problem. Then, I imagine, just because Lily falls in love with James, doesn't mean she doesn't care for Sev, and when she finds out about the Death Eaters in some form, I don't suppose it's simple to rip out that part of yourself. That's where I specifically have this very defined mental image of Lily once in a while indulging in wishful thinking and praying that Sev not kill - that's how I interpret Keep the Streets Empty for Me, as Lily's prayer for safety.
Sadly, have no credit for this beautiful art, found it on photobucket; well, it's not mine in any case.
secret door Arctic Monkeys
Fools on parade cavort and carry on for waiting eyes
that you would rather be beside than in front of
But she's never been the kind to be hollowed by the stares
She swam out of tonight's phantasm
Grabbed my hand and made it very clear
There's absolutely nothing for us here
poison prince Amy Macdonald
It's something I don’t see
Why would a genius be trippin' on me?
Why he can’t see is that I’m looking through his eyes
Some kind of poison prince, with your eyes in daze
never you mind Semisonic
Sometimes it takes all my time guessing why I can't figure it out
Sometimes it takes all my energy just to forget about
All the memories that I'd be better off without
Are you sorry that we wasted our time? Never you mind
the nerve The Republic Tigers
Say you will, or that you wish you could, convincingly
'Cause you're makin' me feel like I'm a real live human boy
And she said, What's that you got? Robotic insides?
I know I'm not black blooded, so we should dance right now
And wisen up later
tesselate Tokyo Police Club
And all the kids who cut their knees on that old schoolyard fence
were holding out for posterity and self-defense
We beat them down again
The divide is clear in the coming year
So, lovely dancer, call and answer
Trade our places in the night
Broken hearts tessellate tonight
oceanographer's choice The Mountain Goats
I don't know why I'm so persuaded
That if I think things through
Long enough and hard enough
I'll somehow get to you
I don't mean it when I tell you
That I don't love you any more
the past is a grotesque animal of Montreal
The past is a grotesque animal and in its eyes you see
how completely wrong you can be
Perceive me in the radiance of terror dreams
and you can betray me
But you know, no matter where we are
we're always touching by underground wires
black sheep Sneaker Pimps
If you see me you'll be crossing the street
or kick me and then leave me to bleed
If looks could kill wouldn't need all the pills
but I take what it needs to be easy with the black sheep now
you've escaped Aloha
To escape you must've been brave
it was a frightening case
Do you see out of the corner of your eye
that I'm standing by your side?
keep the streets empty for me Fever Ray
Following this stream up north,
where do people like us float?
A lot of hope in one man tent
There's no room for innocence
okay i believe you, but my tommy gun don't Brand New
Oh, it's so hard to have someone to love
Keeping quiet is hard
'Cause you can't keep a secret if it never was a secret to start
Oh, it hurts to always have to be honest with the one that you love
you know you're right Nirvana
I will move away from here
You won't be afraid of fear
No thought was put into this
I always knew it would come to this
