Charlie Matheson/Bass Monroe Fanmix: Eyes Filled Up With Blue
So, it has been many many years since I made a fanmix but, alas, this show has really pulled the old school fandom out of me. I wasn't sure if people even do these things anymore but then I discovered all the lovely mixes already posted - adore! I've had this on my computer for a week or two, unsure if I was going to post it, but[Spoiler (click to open)]
in light of the raw wound that is The Preview, figured anything Bass-related ought to be shared.
Selected lyrics beneath the cut!

If You Were Me - Frightened Rabbit
Time passes
I accept the blame
And I accept that you might never care to see me again
At least we can shake off some shame
Still I quiver like a dying leaf in a violent wind
I don’t wish to be excused for this
My disguise and my excuses, they have worn so thin
May I ask, and answer honestly
Oh, what would you have done if you were me?
How could it go so wrong so quickly?
Oh, what would you do if you were me?
Don’t assume that I have found this easy
Oh, how would you feel if you were me?
Time passes
Kills everything
In its path, and then it buries us in history
Some bits, some bits seem to stick
Oh, I thought that you and I could be a timeless thing
And I have to ask, please answer honestly
What would you have done if you were me?
You'd Be Mine - Seven Nations
I see a shattered nation
I see a life of crime
I see a brilliant future going down, down, down
I feel these walls are closing
I think this is the end
Undaunted, falling, falling, descending like a cigarette unwanted
Would it make you happy if
Everyone around you smiled
Then you wouldn't have to hide
The world'd be yours
And you would be mine
I'd be your Rasputin in blue jeans
My predictions denied
I'd be your soul searching junkie
And you would be mine
I feel the anger rising
I taste a cake uneaten
I see a falling angel going down, down, down
I see a rich attorney
I see a case unbroken
My body shivers like a cold, cold misdirected heart
Would it make you happy if
Everyone around you smiled
Then you wouldn't have to hide
The world'd be yours
And you'd be mine
I'd be your prometheus stealing
From a nuclear sky
I'd be your insecure hero
And you would be mine.
Would it make you happy if
Everyone around you smiled
Then you wouldn't have to hide
The world'd be yours
And you would be mine
Bad Things - Jace Everett
When you came in the air went out
And every shadow filled up with doubt
I don't know who you think you are
But before the night is through
I wanna do bad things with you
I'm the kind to sit up in his room
Heart sick an' eyes filled up with blue
I don't know what you've done to me
But I know this much is true
I wanna do bad things with you, okay
Leap Year - Port O'Brien
Never been to a church on Sunday
Guess I always just felt alright
Never had much of a patience
Waiting on another, take _______
I'm not a protest marcher
I'm not a pundit's son
Never seen the right side of talking
Talking leads to driving unless you're on the run
And I will not forgive you but I might turn a blind eye
And I would love your better if your don't emit your light
I'd rather be a trigger than hold it all inside
The Way I Tend To Be - Frank Turner
(Admittedly, the second half of this one is more Miles/Rachel pre-Blackout so it's a bit of a two-for-one.)
Some mornings I pray for evening,
For the day to be done.
Some summer days I hide away
And wait for rain to come.
It turns out hell will not be found
Within the fires below,
But in making do and muddling through
When you've nowhere else to go.
But then I remember you,
And the way you shine like truth in all you do.
And if you remembered me,
You could save me from the way I tend to be.
The way I tend to be
Some days I wake up dazed my dear,
And I don't know where I am.
I've been running now so long I'm scared
I've forgotten how to stand.
Fumbling Towards Ecstasy - Sarah McLachlan
All the fear has left me now
I'm not frightened anymore
It's my heart that pounds beneath my flesh
it's my mouth that pushes out this breath
and if I shed a tear I won't cage it
I won't fear love
and if I feel a rage I won't deny it
I won't fear love
Companion to our demons
they will dance, and we will play
With chairs, candles, and cloth
making darkness in the day
It will be easy to look in or out
upstream or down without a thought
and if I shed a tear I won't cage it
I won't fear love
and if I feel a rage I won't deny it
I won't fear love
Love Is Paranoid - The Distillers
I step right off the edge
Let the blood rush to my head
I’m going down to where the lucky ones have bled
I lift the veil up to reveal A fascination
And if you crave it
Then you know that you are injured
And I’m holding on
And I’m holding on
For what you do to me
oh Baby there’s no measure
I've taken everything and
Now I want to give it
I left the lights off so you stumble in devotion
So easy
So easy
Its left unspoken
Boys Don't Cry - The Cure
I would say, I'm sorry
If I thought that it would change your mind
But I know that this time
I've said too much
Been too unkind
I try to laugh about it
Cover it all up with lies
I try and laugh about it
Hiding the tears in my eyes
'Cause boys don't cry
Boys don't cry
I would break down at your feet
And beg forgiveness
Plead with you
But I know that It's too late
And now there's nothing I can do
Misjudged your limits
Pushed you too far
Took you for granted
I thought that you needed me more
No Good for Me - The Corrs
I see a home in a quiet place
I see myself in a strong embrace
And I feel protection from the human race
It's not parental
But it's a fantasy, not a reality
And it's no good, no, no good for me, you have no idea
That I'm walking through the clouds
When you're looking at me
I'm feeling like a child
Vulnerability
I am shaking like a leaf if you move beside me
And you're all that I see
But it's no good for me
Panic Switch - Silversun Pickups
When you see yourself in a crowded room,
Do your fingers itch? Are you pistol whipped?
Do you step in line or release the glitch?
Do you think she'll sleep with a panic?
And I'll try to hold on tight tonight.
Pink slip, inviting me inside.
I want to burn skin and brand what once was mine,
But the red news came ripping in to fight.
If I go anywhere that you want me to go,
How do I know you'll still follow?
