Closer
a Helen/John fanmix
~
This fanmix was born from a collaboration of my truly amazing friend lalaithh and myself. One which included us staying up until 6 am and theorizing over relationships and Stargate and Sanctuary, over and over for days while listening to Muse and a massive mix of Muse and booze-induced singing (and occasionally watching the same substance-induced dancing, which, let me tell you, was hilarious), followed by waking up to the smell of coffee and starting it over again. Summer days, how I miss you.
But, I digress.
The songs themselves may need a little explanation here and there, because some of them were put on because they triggered images of particular situations in my head that might not be so obvious for everyone at first, but.... just let your imagination run free, and I think you'll either see something similar, or get your very own interpretation of it. In my idea, this fanmix is all about their controversial relationship and feelings and past, and it's because of that controversiality that one song might say the exact opposite as the other, and still, they can fit.
We decided that the cover art should not be in a CD format, but in ancient, hardcore casette form. So. There you have it.
Closer ~ Kings Of Leon
Your shimmy shook my bones,
Leaving me stranded all in love on my own
Do you think of me?
Where am I now baby, where do I sleep?
It feels so good but I am old
200 years of chasing taking its toll
And it's coming closer
Turn It On ~ Franz Ferdinand
You don't wanna know how I manage alone
Oh no, you don't wanna know what goes on when I'm on my own
You don't wanna know how I plan on my own
Oh no, you don't wanna know how I know when you're on your own
I'll never be alone, yeah (turn it on)
You know I'd follow you to Rome, yeah (turn it on)
I know the places you call home, yeah (turn it on)
You know I'll get you on your own, yeah (turn it on)
Map Of The Problematique ~ Muse
Can't get it right
Get it right
Since I met you
Loneliness be over
When will this loneliness be over
A Sorta Fairytale ~ Tori Amos
And I was talking to you
And I knew then it would be
A life long thing
But I didn't know that we
We could break a silver lining
And I'm so sad
Like a good book
I can't put this day back
A sorta fairytale
With you
A sorta fairytale
With you
Blinding ~ Florence + The Machine
Seems that I have been held, in some dreaming state
A tourist in the waking world, never quite awake
No kiss, no gentle word could wake me from this slumber
Until I realise that it was you who held me under
Felt it in my fist, in my feet, in the hollows of my eyelids
Shaking through my skull, through my spine and down through my ribs
No more dreaming of the dead as if death itself was undone
No more calling like a crow for a boy, for a body in the garden
No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love
No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love
No more dreaming like a girl so in love with the wrong world
Resistance ~ Muse
(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
But it should've been right
Let our hearts ignite
Are we digging a hole?
This is outta control
It could never last
Must erase it fast
But it could've been right
(It could be wrong, could be)
I Go To Sleep ~ Sia
I was wrong, I will cry
I will love you till the day I die
You were all, you alone and no one else
You were meant for me
Shattered ~ William Fitzsimmons
I'm a homeless man who's trying (And I do not have a home yet)
Find a place to lay his head
Find some comfort in this journey (Just another taste of pleasure)
At least before I'm dead
There she is inside, waiting on another
Chance to make it right
There she waits until
Her brokenness can brake her
And finally be still
Going Under ~ Evanescence
Now I will tell you what I've done for you
Fifty thousand tears I've cried
Screaming deceiving and bleeding for you
And you still won't hear me
Don't want your hand this time I'll save myself
Maybe I'll wake up for once
Not tormented daily defeated by you
Just when I thought I'd reached the bottom
I'm dying again
Exogenesis: Symphony Pt 1: Overture ~ Muse
I can’t forgive you,
And I can’t forget
How You Remind Me ~ Nickelback
This is how you remind me
Of what I really am
This is how you remind me
Of what I really am
It's not like you to say sorry
I was waiting on a different story
This time I'm mistaken
For handing you a heart worth breakin'
I've been wrong, I've been down
Been to the bottom of every bottle
These five words in my hea
Scream "Are we having fun yet?"
Yet? Yet? Yet? No, no
Little Lion Man - Mumford And Sons
But it was not your fault but mine
And it was your heart on the line
I really fucked it up this time
Didn't I, my dear?
Closer ~ Nine Inch Nails
Help me
I broke apart my insides
Help me
I've got no soul to sell
Help me
The only thing that works for me
Help me get away from myself
