Fanmix: Blue Lips (Being Human)
Deep apologies to people who only watch this community for the fic, but this is my first fanmix and I have nowhere else to put it. :P I don't expect to be doing a vast number of these, so I hope you don't mind.
Blue Lips: an Annie Sawyer Fanmix
This fanmix started many months ago with a few songs that strangely, seductively reminded me of our own Anna Clare Sawyer, and grew as I gave much more thought to her character and the arc of her growth in Being Human series 1. I hope it's as evocative for you as it is for me, and please give me your thoughts in the comments!
Thanks to intrikate88 for introducing me to some of this music, to Virginia Tingley for giving me permission to use her brilliant song, and to eveningwalk for textures I used to create the album art.
1. Regina Spektor - Blue Lips
he stumbled into faith and thought
God, this is all there is
the pictures in his mind arose
and began to breathe
and no one saw and no one heard
they just followed the lead
the pictures in his mind arose
and began to breathe
2. Jane Vain & the Dark Matter - These Ghosts
you know I can't be alone
can you be the light so I don't see these ghosts?
3. State Radio - Keepsake
one gonna hold my memories, another gonna close the door
one gonna leave me restless, another wanting more
you're gonna keep my soul, it was yours to have long ago
4. Nina Simone - I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to Be Free
I wish I knew how it would feel to be free
I wish I could break all the chains holding me
I wish I could say all the things that I should say
say 'em loud say 'em clear
for the whole wide world to hear
5. Jenny Lewis with the Watson Twins - The Big Guns
and I'll pretend that everybody here wants peace
have mercy, have mercy, have mercy on me
'cause we're tired and lonely and we're bloody
6. Poe - Not a Virgin
I've been open
and I've been closed like a book
and burned down like a written sin
so if you wanna play dirty my darling I'm gonna win
I'm not a virgin anymore
7. Shocking Blue - Venus
her weapon were her crystal eyes
making every man mad
black as a dark night she was
got what no one else had
8. Rilo Kiley - We'll Never Sleep (God Knows We'll Try)
we'll never sleep
God knows we'll try
the hospital is closed
and how long will it last
before we go insane?
9. Edmund Butt - Alex's Theme
[instrumental]
10. Lez Zeppelin - Winter Sun
[instrumental]
11. Virginia Tingley - Quiet People Are Better in Bed
it's true what they said
quiet people are better
quiet people are better
quiet people are better in bed
