this is the story of a girl.
I’m not vain, I swear. I just want you to know who I am. So I put together a mix of all my favourite music, or at least the stuff that I feel illustrates my character effectively. A lot of people will hate it, but luckily for me, a lot of people aren’t going to read it. Or download it. So why don’t you take a shot and browse my seventeen-track memix?
ONE
Feeling Good - Michael Bublé
Scent of the pine, And I know how I feel
It’s a new dawn, It’s a new day
It’s a new life, For me
TWO
I Love Rock N’ Roll - Joan Jet & the Blackhearts
I saw him there by the record machine
He must have been about seventeen
The beat was going strong, playing my favourite song
THREE
Spotlight - Mutemath
And when you feel the war cannot be won
You’re gonna die to try what can’t be done
FOUR
Man in the Mirror - James Morrison (cover)
You know the lyrics. A wonderful cover.
FIVE
Old Stone - Laura Marling
And honey, I was never gonna change
And honey, you were never gonna change
Don’t you love, but don’t you love it that way?
SIX
Rabbit Heart (Raise it up) - Florence + The Machine
And Midas is king and he holds me so tight
And turns me to gold in the sunlight
SEVEN
John Wayne Gacy Jr. - Sufjan Stevens
I’m not a freak. It’s the most beautiful song
About a serial killer that I’ve ever heard.
EIGHT
Poker Face - Lady GaGa
I think you know the lyrics.
NINE
Pain - Jimmy Eat World
Anyone can make what I have built
Better now, anyone can make the take the same white pills
TEN
Natalie’s Rap - the Lonely Island
LOLGASM. I’m a huge Natalie Portman fan, too. She’s just one of those remarkable women.
ELEVEN
O, Saya - A. R. Rehman feat. MIA
Oscar nominated song, mostly instrumental
TWELVE
Dream on - Aerosmith
Dream until your dreams come true
Dream until your dream comes through.
THIRTEEN
Kissing You (Romeo + Juliet Theme) - Craig Armstrong
Another instrumental; a very pretty song.
FOURTEEN
To Roam - Robert Pattinson
You’d know, you’d know it; you’d know where my eyes roam
Through the fog and hail, a scene amidst the snow
FIFTEEN
Teeth - Lady GaGa
I promised that I wouldn’t put an artist on this list twice,
But this song is just so different: I love it. (It’s fierce.)
SIXTEEN
Numb/Encore - Linkin Park feat. Jay-Z
I’ve become so numb, I can’t feel you there
Become so tired - so much more awake
I’m becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me, and be less like you.
SEVENTEEN
Break - The Cinematics
I like my loneliness
And the thoughts it brings
The darkness can sometimes be a
Pleasure to me.
