Title: Your Name Is The Splinter Inside Me
Warnings: Spoilers for the show and possible spoilers for the books, incest.
Notes: This is what happens when you let
scorpiod1 watch your shows and then let her convince you to do things and fall prey to her sad kitten eyes (you should all be thankful this was not a Viserys/Dany mix). Apparently we are the people the ship the non-incestuous siblings in a show full of canon incest /o\ But this mix has a vague timeline that starts pre-series and ends at some point in the future with murky hints at the future of the show (I tried to keep as many spoilers from the books out of this as I’ve not read them because they scare me, I’ve only spoiled myself thanks to TV Tropes and Wikipedia and sometimes that knowledge helps shape my thought process). This is mostly in Robb’s POV (because Robb decided to speak to me), but some songs could be taken to have a dual POV, but as a whole this mix is the story of Robb and how he loves Jon and Robb’s angst and how Robb pines for his bastard brother, while dealing with all the responsibilities put onto his shoulders because of everything happening. It’s a lot about his feelings of frustration because this was not how he imagined anything would go and his crumbling idealism as he becomes increasingly pessimistic. This mix is pretty depressing and tragic (like the show) and was oddly difficult for me to make because I legitimately could not give it a happy ending and I ~need~ my happy endings.
Mix includes: front and back cover, single .zip file & individually uploaded links (all mp3), uploaded to Mediafire.
your name is a splinter inside me: a jon/robb mix
1.
Seashell || Seabear
a flock of owls know your name // will you promise me to stay the same? // buried my hands on the old cold sand // i looked up and saw all the sunlight on you again // night after night, i followed you home // light after light, i followed your footsteps on the snow // under the sea, black and deep // everything i give is everything that i keep
2.
Winter's Heir || Sea Wolf
a pheasant's feather for your thoughts // i said, don't shoot me with your buck shots // we listen for the sounds out there, raised our knives out of fear // it was a long, long cold year, but i think it's all becoming clear // and I've thought it through, i think i want it too // cause i saw you there upon your chair, in the light of winter's heir
3.
Your Past Life As A Blast || Okkervil River
your pretty face looks like an island rising from a sea that's slowly drying // when i'm saying, do ya, do ya want to sail out in the silence? // i'm asking, will ya, will ya come over here and do me violence? // press your ear up to my wrist, the blood is racing some way, going wherever // i'm saying, Will ya, will ya stand up tall and be my shelter?
4.
Fake Empire || The National
turn the light out, say goodnight // no thinking for a little while // let's not try to figure out everything at once // it's hard to keep track of you falling through the sky // we're half awake in a fake empire
5.
You Are A Runner And I Am My Father's Son || Wolf Parade
i was a hero, early in the morning // i ain't no hero, in the night // i am my father's son and i'll build a house inside of you // i'll go in through the mouth, i'll draw three figures on your heart // one of them will be me as a boy // one of them will be me // one of them will be me watching you run // watching you run into the high noon sun
6.
Mykonos || Fleet Foxes
a sun to maybe dissipate shadows of the mess you made // brother, you don't need to turn me away // i was waiting down at the ancient gate // you go wherever you go today // you go today
7.
I Follow Rivers || Lykke Li
be my only // be the water and i'm wading // you're my river running high, run deep run wild // i follow, i follow you, deep sea baby // i follow you // i follow // i follow you, dark boom honey // i follow you // he's a message, i'm the runner // he's the rebel, i'm the daughter waiting for you
8.
Ghost || Voxtrot
i have no choice but to be vicious on my feet // i never sleep, i never eat // i am learning how to be lost completely // i want to be found, be craved like things we push away // these patterns cut like every day // i need you to reach, i need you to need me // down by water's edge, under a dying tree // i let my body slip, so dead inside of me // but when i came around, some kind of milky face // shaking my bones, put me back in my place // i don't ever want to be alone like this, haunted by the presence of the things i miss
9.
No Sunlight || Death Cab For Cutie
you disappeared with the same speed the idealistic things i believed // the optimist died inside of me // no sunlight
10.
Winter || Joshua Radin
your name is the splinter inside me, while i wait // and i remember the sound of your november downtown // and i remember the truth // a warm december with you // but i don't have to make this mistake and i don't have to stay this way // if only i would wait // the walk has all been cleared by now // your voice is all i hear somehow, calling out winter
11.
Province || TV On The Radio
and all your memories are as precious as gold // and all the honey and the fire which you've stole // have you running through all your red-cheeked days, shaking loose these souls from their sacred hiding space? // hold your heart courageously as we walk into this dark place // stand steadfast erect and see that love is the province of the brave
12.
Violet Hill || Coldplay
was a long and dark december // when the banks became cathedrals and a fox became god // priests clutched onto bibles hollowed out to fit their rifles and a cross held aloft // bury me in armour when i'm dead and hit the ground // a love back home, it unfolds // and if you love me, won't you let me know? // i don't want to be a soldier, who the captain of some sinking ship would stow, far below // so if you love me, why d'you let me go?
13.
Set The Fire To The Third Bar || Snow Patrol
i find the map and draw a straight line // over rivers, farms, and state lines // the distance from 'A' to where you'd be // it's only finger-lengths that i see // i touch the place where I'd find your face // my fingers in creases of distant dark places // i'm miles from where you are // i lay down on the cold ground a i pray that something picks me up // and sets me down in your warm arms
14.
Darkness Descends || Laura Marling
can i just say i don't fear the light? // but darkness descends once more into my life // and suddenly we're all alone in silence // so i take a step away // i look up to the falling snow as it makes its home upon my face // well, i wouldn't want to ruin something i couldn't save // the gap will keep us safe, the gap will keep us safe
15.
Things || Frightened Rabbit
and the dust, it settles on these things // displays my age again // like a new skin made from old skin that'd barely been lived in // i didn't need these things // i didn't need them, oh // pointless artifact from a mediocre past // so i shed my clothes, i shed my flesh down to the bone and burned the rest
