Where the Sky Loves the Sea - Rose/Doctor fanmix
This is my first attempt at a fanmix, and I'm hoping it will help me actually write some Doctor/Rose fic, as I'm having a hard time writing them. I've seen some great mixes, and I thought I'd share some songs that I really like. This is probably very eclectic, I really hope it appeals to somebody out there ^^;;;
See below for a list of 16 songs, lyrics, and snippets about how the music/lyrics relate to Rose and the Doctor (in my opinion). Title taken from Tales of Brave Ulysses by Cream, which is on this album. Artists on the album include Radiohead, Death Cab for Cutie, The Blow, Cake, Portishead, Evanescence, Bush, and Dave Matthews Band. The total time is about 66 minutes.
The zip file with all the music, the art (plus an icon), and the samples of lyrics is available HERE. (it's 75 MB)
Please please let me know if you're snagging it- feedback is great!
Also, be sure to let me know if there are any problems. Remember, first time here... >.>
Thanks!
1. none except you // emptyself
and for days afterward i held onto the feeling you'd given to me
and your face just remained like a flash in my eyes,
brighter than anything i'd seen.
[Nine meets Rose]
2. jigsaw falling into place // radiohead
Just as you take my hand
Just as you write my number down
Just as the drinks arrive
Just as they play your favorite song
Jigsaws falling into place
[Nine and Rose feel a connection to each other as they begin their travels together.]
3. love again // baxter
I need a friend
I need you
I need a friend to take me home again
I need you to make it true
[Rose helps heal the Doctor of the traumatic events of the Time War.]
4. frozen // collide
grasping on the galaxy
warmed here by the sun
floating to infinity
collapse and come undone
[The Doctor shows Rose the wonders of the universe, including Woman Wept and the destruction of Earth.]
5. the big u // the blow
I must admit
I've been a little bit afraid of your relationship
with the universe
I know that you, you love him best,
I can see the way he lights you up.
I can feel him pounding there in your chest
[Mickey watches as Rose and the Doctor grow closer, and he can do nothing to stop it. That doesn't mean it doesn't hurt.]
6. short skirt/long jacket // cake
I want a girl with a mind like a diamond
I want a girl who knows what's best
I want a girl with shoes that cut
And eyes that burn like cigarettes
[Ten/Rose; She's everything he wants.]
7. passenger seat // death cab for cutie
Then looking upwards
I strain my eyes and try
To tell the difference between shooting stars and satellites
From the passenger seat as you are driving me home
[Ten and Rose travel time and space together. Everything is perfect.]
8. distant voices // bush
Beneath the magic of her lace
Are a thousand lonely faces she can't place
I'm gonna find my way to the sun
If I destroy myself, I can shine on
[Ten burns up a star so that he can say goodbye to Rose.]
9. your star // evanescence
I can't see your star
and I'm alone now
me and all I stood for
[Rose, immediately after the Doctor disappears, leaving her heartbroken at Bad Wolf Bay.]
10. some devil // dave matthews band
You said always and forever
Now I believe you baby
You said always and forever
Is such a long and lonely time
[Ten, immediately after losing Rose.]
11. mysterons // portishead
Still holding on,
This ocean will not be grasped.
Refuse to surrender,
Strung out until ripped apart,
Who dares, who dares to condemn
[Rose won't give up on the Doctor, and searches for a way to return to him while struggling to maintain hope.]
12. chainmail // curve
I watch your back as you walk without care,
See the daggers in a million stares,
I sit and wait while the night closes in.
Sitting pretty,
Not in focus.
Hiding edges,
As my needs must.
Watching waiting,
For a detail.
System error,
Sent by chain mail.
[Rose gets back to her universe, and looks for the Doctor.]
13. pachuca sunrise // minus the bear
Midnight on a beach in the Mediterranean
And I miss you
Even here, taking it all in
The sand, silvered, carries the moon on its shoulders
Is it possible to put this night to tune, and move it to you?
Don't cry, I'll bring this home to you,
If I can make this night light enough to move
Don't cry, i'll bring this home to you
[The Doctor realizes the best solution to his counterpart's existence, but at great cost to his own happiness. Rose and Human!Ten are left on the parallel world, and the Doctor is left alone, again.]
14. parentheses // the blow
And when you're holding me
we make a pair of parentheses.
There's plenty space to encase
whatever weird way my mind goes,
I know I’ll be safe in these arms
If something in the deli aisle makes you cry
you know I’ll put my arm around you
and I’ll walk you outside,
through the sliding doors,
why would I mind?
[Rose and Human!Ten adjust to life together in the parallel world.]
15. tales of brave ulysses // cream
And you see a girls brown body dancing through the turquoise,
And her footprints make you follow where the sky loves the sea.
And when your fingers find her, she drowns you in her body,
Carving deep blue ripples in the tissues of your mind.
[Rose and Human!Ten enjoy the simple pleasures of life together.]
16. honeythief // halou
And when I'm lost
You search for me
And when I doubt
You're my belief
I'm supposed to be
The stronger one
You always seem
To prove that theory wrong
[The love story of Rose and her Doctor.]
Enjoy!
