Whole of the Moon: An X-Files Fanmix
So, this has actually been made, music-wise, for near two years. I've just never had time or the creativity to make the art. I'd been planning on finding someone with actual talent to make the cover art, but alas. Hopefully, it's ok. So I have for your pleasure, 14 songs totaling an hour. Enjoy!!
1) X-Files Theme (Dado Paranormal Activity Mix): DJ Dado
Chosen because it’s a much less common heard version of the theme. The electronics and speed give it a whole new level. (It's my ringtone, too!)
2) Brandenburg Concerto #2 In F: JS Bach, performed by Peter Wohlert and the Berlin Chamber Orchestra
The first thing the aliens will ever hear from us.
(Little Green Men)
3) The Whole of the Moon: Mandy Moore
And you know how it feels
To reach too high, too far, too soon
You saw the whole of the moon
Now it’s ground while you filled the skies
I was dumbfounded by truth, you cut through lies
Scully, season seven or eight. She looks back on how Mulder’s always know, while the truth has always been hidden from her.
(Within, Without)
4) Because of You: Kelly Clarkson
Because of you
I find it hard to trust
Not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you, I am afraid
I lose my way
And it’s not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry
Because I know that’s weakness in your eyes
I’ve seen this in a few other XF mixes, but I look at it a little differently. Mulder had a hard childhood that helped make him the man he is. He’s seen his sister abducted, then been refused the acknowledgement from his parents, both who took their dissatisfaction of The Project and the sacrifices that came with it out on Mulder.
(Anasazi-Paper Clip, Demons)
5) Angel: Sarah McLachlan
So tired of the straight line
And everywhere you turn
There's vultures and thieves at your back
And the storm keeps on twisting
You keep on building the lie
There’s something about Mulder. He’s spent all this time for something only he believes in, something no one will confess to him. And there’s always someone ready to take him down or find something to blame him for, be it the FBI, his family, or the Syndicate.
6) The Sky Is Broken: Moby
See the storm is broken
In the middle of the night
Nothing left here for me
It’s washed away
Scully looks in on herself, her past, and maybe finds a little enlightenment.
(All Things)
7) Spooky: Imogen Heap
You always keep me guessing
I never seem to know what you are thinking
And if a girl looks at you
Yeah, for sure your little eye will be a-winking
Oh I get confused, I never know where I stand
And then you smile and hold my hand
Love is kind of crazy with a spooky little boy like you
Scully looks on her relationship with Mulder. She’s not always sure exactly where she stands, but it’s a hell of a ride she can’t miss.
8) We’re In This Together: Nine Inch Nails
You and me
We're in this together now
None of them can stop us now
We will make it through somehow
You and me
If the world should break in two
Until the very end of me
Until the very end of you
Not only is Nine Inch Nails a big fan of XF, this song seems written just for Mulder and Scully. Us verses Them rules the day with these unorthodox agents fighting the powers that be.
9) Stigmatized: The Calling
I believe in you
Even if no one understands
I believe in you, and I don't really give a damn
Stigmatized
We live our lives on different sides
But we keep together, you and I
Their lives are different, even their purposes are different to begin. But through it all, they’ve come to depend on one another and even if no one else believes in them, at the end of that day all that matters is that they have each other.
10) Right Here: Staind
But you always find a way to keep me right here waiting
You always find the words to say to keep me right here waiting
And if you chose to walk away I'd still be right here waiting
Searching for the things to say to keep you right here waiting
Mulder’s always running off to chase leads, leaving Scully behind. Sometimes even his thought process leaves her science-driven brain in the dust. But somehow, she’s always willing to stay, and Mulder’s only ever wanted that.
11) Remember When It Rained: Josh Groban
Remember when it rained.
Felt the ground and looked up high
And called your name.
Ohhhhhh, remember when it rained.
In the darkness I remain.
Tears of hope run down my skin.
Tears for you that will not dry.
Two times we see revelations in the rain, where two souls connect and a connection is formed. The rain is for epiphanies, for changes, for moving ahead.
(Pilot, Requiem)
12) Have A Little Faith In Me: Mandy Moore
Well I’ve been loving you for such a long, long time
Expecting nothing in return
Just for you to have a little faith in me
You see it’s time, time is our friend
‘Cause for us there is no end
And all you gotta do is have a little faith in me
Mulder’s never expected anything from Scully besides a little faith. Faith in him, faith that we can’t see everything with just our eyes. Sometimes, our heart speaks to us, too.
(Memento Mori)
13) Brand New Colony: The Postal Service
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
We'll give ourselves new names
(Identities erased)
The sun will heat the ground
Under our bare feet
In this brand new colony
In the wake of the finale, Mulder and Scully are on the run, their son is gone, and there are still those out there who want to harm the public. They’ve got to start over, but all that matters is that they’re together, again.
(The Truth)
14) I Survived You: Clay Aiken
I survived the crash
Survived the burn
Survived the worst, yeah, baby, but I learned
Survived the lies
Survived the blues
Almost killed me but I survived the truth
And when you wrote me off like I was doomed
I survived you
For over ten years people have tried to bring Mulder and then Scully, too, down. But they’ve managed to hold on, to fight for the truth. The Syndicate, the aliens, beauracracy, none of it has stopped Mulder. They’ve always been under estimated and at the end of the day, they might be on the run, but they’re still alive. It’s a bit of Mulder’s f-you to Cancer Man, his father, and even Diana Fowley.
