Arthur & Eames fanmix - The Art of Civilized Bushwhacking…
This took me a ridiculous amount of time. Seriously.
(And I’m not even perfectly happy with it but whatever…)
Arthur & Eames fanmix - The Art of Civilized Bushwhacking…
The fanmix is divided in two, like two sides of the relationship between them. As a (possible) couple, but mostly as two people gravitating around each other. People that would be a great fit together, but who never work things out right (I had Alain Delon & Romy Schneider in mind while doing this, go figure…). Of course, it’s pretty open to interpretation (I just tend to over think everything).
Opening.
Side One - Right Place, Wrong Time…
Prelude
Gustavo Santaolalla - “De Ushuahia A La Quiaca”
Instrumental.
1 - The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion - “Right Place, Wrong Time”
“I was in the right place, but it must have been the wrong time
I was sayin' the right things, but I must have used the wrong line
I was on the right trip, but I must have used the wrong car
Head is in a bad place and I wonder what it's good for
I was in the right place, but it must have been the wrong time
My head is in a bad place, but I'm havin' such a good time”
2 - Metric - “Gold, Guns, Girls”
“All the gold and the guns in the world
(couldn't get you off)
All the gold and the guns and the girls
(couldn't get you off)
All the boys, All the choices in the world
I remember when we were gambling to win
Everybody else said better luck next time
I don't wanna bend, Let the bad girls bend
I just wanna be your friend
Is it ever gonna be enough”
3 - Band of Horses - “Factory”
“The elevator, in the hotel lobby has a lazy door
The man inside is going to a hotel room
He jumped out right after seeing just the very sight of me
Decided he better hike it to the second floor
Its temporary, this place I'm in
I permanently wont do this again
My belongings scattered across the hotel floor”
4 - Yodelice - “Free”
“Lies set me free
Lies keep me from my fear
Lies believe in me
Lies heavenly shelter
Thank you for pretending that
I don't cry and I don't care
That my heart is made of clay
And I will keep sailing away”
5 - The Heavy - “What You Want Me To Do?”
“What you want me to do
What you want me to say
How you need me to be?
I can be that way
What you want me to do
What you want me to say
How you need me to do?
‘Cause I can do that…”
6 - Depeche Mode - “Lie To Me”
“So lie to me
But do it with sincerity
Make me listen
Just for a minute
Make me think
There's some truth in it”
7 - Block Party - “Better Then Heaven”
“Never been a big fan of things
But I'm growing so fond of you
You get sadder the smarter you get
And it's a bore
You get sadder the smarter you get
And it's a bore”
8 - Emilie Simon - “The Way I See You”
“Help me fix the things that are broken
O-oh, before you leave
I've been trying to think it over
O-oh, I know it's time to grieve
O-oh, the way I see you is not really the way you want me to
O-oh, the way I see you
O-oh, the way I see you is not really the way you want me to”
09 - Massive Attack - “The Hunter Gets Captured By The Game”
“I had to lay such a tender trap
Hoping you might fall into it
Love hit me with a sudden slap
One kiss and then I knew it
Oh, my plans didn't work out like I thought
'Cause I had laid my trap for you but it seems that I got caught”
10 - Blue October - “Chameleon Boy”
“I changed my color for you
I shed my coat with caution
I lack the beauty you display
See here there are the bruises
And some were self-inflicted
And some showed up along the way
So I nod my head”
11 - Jimmy Eat World - “Closer”
“Everyday I get a little closer, dear
Will you love me darling when I get there?
I'll need sunshine, I'll need rest
Pour us whiskey, water, kiss”
12 - Corinne Bailey Rae - “Trouble Sleeping”
“Could it be I'm suffering
Because I'm never give in?
Won't say that I'm falling in love
Tell me I don't seem myself
Couldn't I blame something else?
Just don't say I'm falling in love
Some kind of therapy
Is all I need
Please believe me
Some instant remedy
That can cure me completely”
13 - Jimmy Eat The World - “Feeling Lucky”
“There's a chance, one of us will give in soon
I could ask, but what's an answer gonna prove?
I try to get mad, but the fever drops
My heart can't break 'cause the beating stops
Yeah, suck that lucky feeling right out of me.”
14 - OneRepublic - “Waking Up”
“We cut ties
We tell lies
We hate change
And we wanna claim where we feel
We take toes
We rake yours
Yeah we dig holes
And we're digging right in your fears”
15 - We Are Scientists - “That’s What Count”
“We shouldn't think about last night,
nobody's proud of what they've done.
Oh, let's not argue about what's right,
let's just agree that it was fun, fun”
16 - Gustavo Santaolalla - “La Partida”
Instrumental.
