[Fanmix] Darling, Everything's on Fire: a First Family of the FAYZ Mix
I've been rereading Michael Grant's GONE series (questionable capitalisation of the title his, not mine) in preparation of reading the latest, Fear, which was released earlier this year but which I haven't picked up until now. I should've been, but wasn't, prepared for the trauma that is caring about so many great characters in such a flipping awful situation, oh my goodness. Astrid Ellison is my YA queen. (She's not, Annabeth Chase is, but Astrid's up there.)
I made this mix ages ago; posting it now as I embark on Fear. If you haven't read the series, I highly doubt that this mix will spoil anything for you. If you're here because you like the series, introduce yourself because I know it's a small fandom and I don't know anyone yet. :) And if you're not here for GONE... enjoy some music that I like! :) x
Astrid to Pete
Safe and Sound - Taylor Swift (ft. The Civil Wars)
Don't you dare look out your window darling;
Everything's on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging on
Hold onto this lullaby
Even when the music's gone
Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be all right
No-one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound
Astrid
You Have to be There - Kerry Ellis
What is it Lord that you want that I am not seeing?
What in my innocent prayers am I failing to say?
Never before have I questioned the truth of your being
Never once have I dared
Never until today
All of a tremble, I stand on the edge of confusion
Who is to save me if into the darkness I fall?
Now that I need more than ever my Lord to be near me
Do you hear when I call?
Are you there after all?
You have to be there, you have to
My life I have placed in thy keep
And without you I am drifting on a dark and rising sea
You have to be there, you have to
Without you I'd drown in the deep
Too far, too far from land
The waters drag me down, I reach for your hand
Astrid to Sam
Light All My Lights - Seeker Lover Keeper
Oh, in the dark we could hide
But we're human
We're human, so we'll fight
And we can be higher than our hearts
And I'll be a fighter by your side
Oh won't you come, won't you
Light all my lights,
Won't you come, won't you
Fight all my fights
Fight all my fights
So long
And we'll all be so strong
We'll all be so strong
Sam to Astrid
Save Me - Automatic Loveletter
I don't know what I'm doing but it's got me living in my own hell
I'm lying through my teeth, I'm drunk as a leech
Confessing my sins to an angel
I'm begging forgiveness 'cause at the end of the world
I want to say that I lived
I don't want to give
My soul to the god damn devil
Save me, save me
I think I'm breaking
Am I going crazy?
Should anyone help?
I must be out of my mind
'Cause I'm not alright
No, I'm not okay
And I'll never see the light
'Til somebody saves me
Heartbreak Warfare - John Mayer
Lightning strikes
Inside, my chest to keep me up at night
Dream of ways
To make you understand my pain
Clouds of sulfur in the air
Bombs are falling everywhere
It's heartbreak warfare
Once you want it to begin,
No one really ever wins
In heartbreak warfare
If you want more love, why don't you say so?
If you want more love, why don't you say so?
Astrid
I Swear to God - Scattered Trees
Did you let him in on every secret,
Every on that we will never know
Until we're walking on your streets of gold?
And are you standing there right beside him
Assuring him I'll be just fine?
Well if you are then tell him you're not right
Where are you Jesus?
Where are you Jesus?
Where are you?
Please do not destroy us
I believe in you, I swear to God
Sam
Everybody's Changing - Keane
You're gone from here
And soon you will disappear
Fading into beautiful light
Cause everybody's changing
And I don't feel right
So little time
Try to understand that I'm
Trying to make a move just to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody's changing
And I don't feel the same
Fear - OneRepublic
When we were children we'd play
Out in the streets just dipped in fate
When we were children we'd say
That we don't the meaning of
Fear, fear, fear,
Fear, fear, fear
We don't know the meaning of...
Wish I
Didn't know the meaning of...
