Finally an update. Wow.
It's been awhile since my last update. I've changed my layout: the general layout was not mine but I did make the banner ^-^ Pretty layout makes me happy, yay!
Another fanmix: this time, it's a Wes/Lily (from Stephenie Meyer's The Host) one entered at the_host_novel contest. Didn't win anything (since I'm the only entry -.-") but it's fun to make cuz I just adore this pairing.
Medium: Books
Fandom: The Host
Subject: Wes & Lily
Warning: Spoilers infested
Title: Little Bit of Heaven, Little Bit of Hell
Notes: The story of Wes and Lily’s relationship - from the point when he tries to get her attention, to him finally getting the girl, to his death and what she felt thereafter. I keep thinking up songs that are really depressing because of what happened to Wes; so the majority of the songs I’ve chosen ended up being that way.
01 At the Beginning - Richard Marx & Donna Lewis
We were strangers starting out on our journey
Never dreaming what we'd have to go through
~
When I lost hope you were there to remind me
This is the start
~
And Life is a road and I want to keep going
[They met each other in a situation where human species are in constant danger hiding from the souls, but this is where everything begin.]
02 Quando, Quando, Quando - Michael Bublé & Nelly Furtado
When will you say yes to me
Tell me quando quando quando
You mean happiness to me
Oh my love please tell me when
~
Every moments a day
Every day seems a lifetime
Let me show you the way
To a joy beyond compare
[Wes has been infatuated with Lily since he first came to live in the caves.]
03 When I’m With You - Faber Drive
When I’m with you I'll make every second count
Cause I miss you
Whenever you're not around
When I kiss you
I still get butterflies years from now
I'll make every second count when I'm with you
~
Still I'm lying here tonight
Wishing I was by your side
Cause when I'm not there enough
Nothing feels right
[Wes misses Lily during the days-long raid; and he feels like time is always limited when they’re together because the souls can attack any moment.]
04 Sunday Morning - Maroon 5
Sunday morning rain is falling
Steal some covers share some skin
Clouds are shrouding us in moments unforgettable
You twist to fit the mold that I am in
~
That may be all I need
In darkness she is all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
~
Fingers trace your every outline
Paint a picture with my hands
[Just a song to describe a normal, relaxing day in the caves for the couple.]
05 Young Love - Gavin Degraw
For the young lovers
Taking the hill
One plants a flag
While the other is killed
~
Young love is sacrifice
Young love is tough
Young love is innocent
Young love is us
[Their relationship is still new - it’s fragile, it’s intense. It’s everything that young love should be.]
06 Valentine’s Day - Linkin Park
I used to be my own protection, but not now
Cause my path has lost direction, somehow
A black wind took you away, from sight
And held the darkness over day, that night
~
And the ground below grew colder
As they put you down inside
But the heartless wind kept blowing, blowing
[Lily’s emotion after knowing of Wes’ death and during his burial.]
07 Dreaming with a Broken Heart - John Mayer
When you're dreaming with a broken heart
The waking up is the hardest part
~
Wondering could you stay my love?
Will you wake up by my side?
No she can't
cause she's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
[Lily keeps thinking he will be back by her side when she wakes up. But she knows it can never be. Switch all the ‘she’s in the song to ‘he’.]
08 Happy Ending - Mika
No hope, no love, no glory
No Happy Ending
This is the way that we love
Like it's forever
Then live the rest of our life
But not together
~
A little bit of heaven, but a little bit of hell
~
This is the hardest story that I've ever told
No hope, or love, or glory
Happy endings gone forever more
[There is no happy ending in Lily and Wes’s relationship.]
09藍眼睛 - 張韶涵 & 蘇打綠
[Blue Eyes - Angela Chang & Sodagreen]
你的眼睛 藍色的一面海
總是太安靜 像是會有暴風雨
呼喚一個夏季 也許那天都逝去
海面閃著淚 像夢境
Your eyes are blue as the sea
Always too serene as if a storm is coming
Calling for a summer, perhaps that day will fade away
Surface of the sea sparkled with tears like a dream
你的眼睛 閃爍的一面海
平靜地嘆息 灑了一片碎玻璃
穿過一座島嶼 也許那天都死去
海浪都沉默 累不累
Your eyes are twinkling like the sea
Sighing calmly, scattering pieces of broken glass
Passed by an island, perhaps that day will die away
Waves are silenced, tired or not
作一場冒險的表演 走過千秋萬歲 寂寞的雲煙
下雨天 沒有地點可以擱淺
拍一張分別的紀念 努力遠走高飛 失眠的海面
地平線 彩虹消失在一瞬間
Let’s have ourselves a daring performance
Walked through many a decades, the lonely clouds and smoke
Rainy day - there’s no place to put aside
Take a photo for remembrance
To try as hard as we could to run away - the sleepless surface of the sea
At the horizon, the rainbow disappears in a flash
其實從頭到尾 誰又得到了水仙
其實從頭到尾 走了錯誤的航線
讓海水都沒去你我的臉 閉上眼
回到原點 一個語言兩個世界
From the beginning to the end, who has gotten the Narcissus?
From the beginning to the end, we’ve walked the wrong path
Let water washed over our faces, close your eyes
Return to the starting point - one language, two worlds apart
[Lily and Wes are taking a risk, a daring step, in this relationship when they decide to walk into this together. Who would’ve guessed that the happiness is so short-lived?]
10愛在記憶中找你 - 林峰
[Love is Searching for You in My Memories - Raymond Lam]
我對你 這一生 哪個可比
我與你 差一些 永遠一起
邂逅時間場地 似連場好戲
要自何頁說起
In this life, who could compare to you?
You and I - so close - we can be forever together
The location and time we met is like a series of drama
On which page shall we start?
愛太重 深呼吸 欠缺空氣
愛太美 輕輕的 卻載不起
愛情來到時候 似明媚天氣
它走了 突然驟變雪落雨飛
Love, too heavy; take a deep breath - not enough oxygen
Love, too beautiful; so light, but can’t carry it
When love comes, it’s like good weather has arrived
When it’s gone, snow and rain suddenly fall
如果可以恨你 全力痛恨你
連遇上亦要躲避
無非想放下你 還是掛念你
If I’m able to hate you - spend all my energy to despise you
Even if we met by chance, I’ll have to escape
I just want to let you go, but I still miss you
誰又會及我傷悲
前事最怕有人提起
就算怎麼伸盡手臂
我們亦有一些距離
Who will be as miserable as I am?
Always afraid someone may bring back memories of the old days
No matter how hard I stretch my arms
We’re still separated by some distance
你太遠 該怎麼 說對不起
你太近 一轉身 卻已高飛
快樂也許太短 似場流星雨
一眨眼 就如幻愛怕又記起
You’re too faraway - how should I apologize?
You’re too near - when I turn around, you’re already gone
Perhaps happiness is too short-lived like a comet shower
With the blink of an eye, like a dream but afraid to remember
我情願我狠心憎你
我還在記憶中找你
I wish I could hate you
I’m still searching for you in my memories
[It was so close - so close, and they could have lived this life together until the end. But Wes has left her, and Lily can only search for him in her memories.]
