[the playlist] Room to Breathe - Faith and Christopher...
Download MegaUpload
01. Softer to Me - Relient K
The conversation got too deep, I shrug and tell you I don't know.
This life can get so hard, this world can be so cruel,
Sometimes I fall apart I feel just like a useless tool.
02. Drink in My Hand - The Classic Crime
And I know it's for me
That I'm out on these streets
Bleeding nightly for these people I meet
But it's you who I long for when I cannot sleep
It's enough, it could drive me to drink
03. Already Over, Part 2 - Red
My best defense, running to you
I can't resist, take all you want from me
Breaking slowly
04. Woman Like a Man (live unplugged) - Damien Rice
You wanna get burned
You wanna get turned
You wanna get fucked inside out
You wanna be ruled
You wanna be fooled
You wanna be a woman like a man like a woman like a man
05. Secret Smile - Semisonic
Nobody knows it but you've got a secret smile
And you use it only for me
06. Gypsy - Shakira
Not the homecoming kind
Take the top off
And who knows what you might find
Won't confess all my sins
You can bet I'll try it
But I can't always win
07. Criminal - Ringside
Cause the good people I know
They come and they go
Talking 'bout hospitals
Making room for criminals
And they look at me
They think I'm mad as can be
'Cos I got a criminal inside
That I just can't hide
And I'm frustrated
I try to medicate it
But nothing's as strong
As the damage I've done
08. We Still Need a Song - Hawksley Workman
And maybe anger is your only choice
But maybe heart and fist and human voice
Might be the better way
Be the way.
09. Falling Away with You - MUSE
so I'll love whatever you become
and forget the reckless things we've done
I think our lives have just begun
I think our lives have just begun
10. I Want It All - Depeche Mode
And I've crossed the line again
A line I drew in sand
Still you give me everything
And everything's not enough
I'm ready but not willing
To give myself to you
Sometimes
11. Junkie - Poe
I know how to wear the costume
I know how to wear the mask
I even like the feel of having to ask
I like the sound of your whistle
I like the way you wear your grin
I even like the taste of my will caving in
12. Whiskey - Royal Bliss
I love that way you move. All the things that drive me crazy.
What a way to spend my life. To wake up next to you.
Can I take just a little more?
13. These Are the Days - The Exies
Suddenly there's beauty in
The way my heart is caving in
And every scar reminds me how
I can't deny
14. Knife Party - Deftones
I can float here forever
in this room we can't touch
the floor
in here
we are all anemic
in here anemic and sweet so
go get your knife
15. Better Sorry Than Safe - Halestorm
I'm not scared
Cause I know there's something out there waiting for me
And I swear
That I'll find it someday
Just wait and see
I don't care
That you call me crazy
I can't stay cause I need room to breathe
There's nothing left to say
Better sorry than safe
Bonus Track - Ladylike - Storm Large and the Balls
She's great
and she knows
How to wear the pants and the rest of your clothes
What the fuck is ladylike
It's lady's like to do
What the fuck
Like you
Yeah just like you
yeah, just like you
* Notes: Based off of RP from takea-stepback Faith Lehane (BtVS) & Christopher Hitchcock (Everworld). They are currently entwined into the SPN story arc itself, but there is a lot of other fandoms crossing into it and making it all sorts of hilarious. Personally, I'm looking forward to Faith going to fight Sylar and Illyria trying to make Sylar her new pet.
Most of these songs are from the Faith POV (save for about three of them), but it's not as if Christopher has had a picnic of a life either. This is probably as close to a working healthy relationship as Faith figures she'll get and that even includes her being attracted to Christopher's friend and bailing on the entire situation and heading across the country. She sees Sam and thinks that with the demon blood in her, that it's just a matter of time before she's back and being pushed to those darker places, but with Christopher at least she doesn't feel like she's quite so crazy for thinking about that.
Shakira is on here because it was stuck in Megs' head and then it got stuck in mine and there is something very Faith-like about a song like that, even if it is sung by Shakira. Faith is just glad I didn't put any Sarah McLachlan on this one like I did when I made a soundtrack for her and Linus.
