and she's chosen to believe
After the angst of my last mix, I thought it might be nice to have a sweet, romantic, easy-going, mellow mix for Alex and Tony.
This mix is from Tony's point of view, because I can't seem to get enough of this particular adorable psychologist (it's the eyes). I would say it's set post-series, while Tony is waiting for Alex to deal with her family stuff, and while he has plenty of time to ponder the full extent of his feelings for her, and the potential that's right in front of him, to change his life for the better.
Basically, he loves her. No surprises there. So, this is his love letter to her.
(Wow. I'm full of mush today.)

Fever Dream - Iron & Wine
some days like rain on the doorstep
she'll cover me with grace in all she offers
sometimes i'd just like to ask her
what honest words
she can't afford to say

And Then You - Greg Laswell
how my love it spins me round
how my love its let me down
how my thoughts they spin me round
how my thoughts they let me down
and then there's you

Drinking Song - Rob Dougan
i want to weave a musical spell
that leaves you unwell
and thinking of me every day
i want to play you a tune
that leaves you marooned
and troubled each time i'm away
i want to write a simple song
that's so frequently sung
that you call me to have the thing banned
whose charm so endears
that whole nations cheer and sigh
when you take my hand

When She Believes - Ben Harper
well the good lord is such a good lord
with such a good mother too
they have blessed me
in the good graces of you
now i have heard a hundred violins crying
now i have seen a hundred white doves flying
but nothing is as beautiful
as when she believes
in me

After The Bombs - The Decemberists
after the bombs subside
and this long, low campaign
calls it good for the night
we meet in the streets
we meet in a bar's cold light
we grip at our hands
we hold just a little tight
after the bombs subside

Orange Sky - Alexi Murdoch
when i am alone
when i've thrown off the weight of this crazy stone
when i've lost all care for the things i own
that's when i miss you
you who are my home
and here is what i know now
it goes like this
in your love
my salvation lies in your love
