It's fst time!
Okay, so this doesn't reflect as much of her as I would like. There aren't many songs about carrying the weight of the world gracefully and being the best possible person at a job you hate. But still.

1. Parting Pas De Deux (from The Swan Lake), Pyotr Ilych Tchaikovsky
Instrumental
2. Skylark, Linda Ronstadt
Oh skylark
I don't know if you can find these things
But my heart is riding on your wings
3. Happy Ending, Ayumi Hamasaki
I find nothing I want in a place like this
Which I escaped and tumbled into
I rip my feelings off my heart
And stick a smile on the mask
Please take me away from here
Before everything becomes a memory
4. My Skin, Natalie Merchant
I'm a slow dying flower
Frost killing hour
The sweet turning sour
And untouchable
O, I need
The darkness
The sweetness
The sadness
The weakness
I need this
5. Apres Moi, Regina Spektor
I uh must go on standing
You can't break that which isn't yours
I uh must go on standing
I'm not my own, it's not my choice
6. Little House, The Fray
Opens up for nobody
Figures out, she figures out
Narrow line, she can't decide
Everything short of suicide
Never hurts, nearly works
Something is scratching
Its way out
Something you want
To forget about
7. Firefly, Over the Rhine
Mmm firefly in the night sky
Only lights on the rise
After the killing frost
Where do you go
Firefly
My memory will not fail me now
My memory will not fail me
My memory will not fail me now
And the rest is history
8. Promenade 2 (from Pictures at an Exhibition), Modest Mussorsgy
Instrumental
9. Other Side of the World, K.T. Tunstall
All the muscles tighten in her face
Buries her soul in one embrace
They're one and the same
Just like water
10. The Lady is a Tramp, Ella Fitzgerald*
I like the free, fresh wind in her hair
Life without care
11. One More Hour, Randy Newman
One more hour
One more day
One more midnight fade away
One more sad song played for me
Bounus Track
12. The Sore Feet Song (used as Mushishi's opening theme), Ally Kerr
And every single step of the way
I pay
Every single night and day
I searched for you
Through sandstorms and hazy dawns
I reached for you
*I feel that this one bears further explanation. This song is what Tanyuu would be if she was under different circumstances. Plus, I think she'd love jazz if someone introduced her to it. I'll give more reasons for any others if asked, of course.
I hope you enjoy!
