024☆ measure love by any success

May 20, 2011 02:35

TROLOL I AM BACK. BACK BECAUSE GDI, I HAVE TO POST THIS.

Okay, so this fanmix accompanies softshinythings's epic tale called Tired and Wired. It is the most epic thing ever and I am smitten with it to the bloody bones, I DON'T EVEN CARE. I'm still kind of amazed that someone combinded the trifecta AND managed to do it so flawlessly. Katy, my dear, I thank you endlessly for it. I look forward to new chapters more than I look forward to having breakfast, lunch and dinner. Also, Katy's done two amazing famixes that are so amazing and wonderful and mine isn't near that kind of perfection. They've been on loop for me lately so that goes as to saying how awesome they really are. This fanmix is something I sprouted out as I came to realization that my shuffle knew just exactly what I needed to hear whilst reading. I swear. We Looked Like Giants came on during a Ray/Walt segment and Eyes to Sledge and Snafu. IT WAS FATE. Besides, I truly adore Katy, she is a wonderful human being so I figured I'd do this to say my thanks and confess my love to her. Yeah, it's a big deal.

The mix is divided into two parts because 28 songs was too much for my poor iTunes. The graphic slides are in the second zip file. I didn't actually plan on doing these graphic slides since obviously they're totally not college-y and most of the guys don't actually look 18. Big fail on my part but I still wanted to make some graphics with them and it was quite difficult trying to narrow out their uniform details and whatnot. So in my own world, I figured these would be future scrapbook things but that's just me. D:
WHATEVER, ENJOY THE PRETTY.

If you haven't read T&W or have no idea who these fine gentlemen are, I suggest you get to watching Band of Brothers, The Pacific and Generation kill. The epic trifecta of epic, I say. THEY ARE EPIC. EVERYONE MUST WATCH THEM. And then you can read T&W, it's like an epic sprouted out of epics. An epic within an epic within an epic. Brrrrrmmmmmmm.

So yeah, without further ado! Enjoy the mix, tell ya wives and husbands and all that. ♥

in starlit nights I saw you
so cruelly you kissed me
your lips a magic world
your sky all hung with jewels

is that it's amazing that your life was mine

in our blood - horse feathers [roe ⇒ babe]
there are things you tend to say when you're alone
there are tones you tend to take when you're at home.
let me be that thorn, thistle, or key.
let me prove you'll unlock just for me



shelter - ray lamontagne [roe ⇒ babe]
i tell you what we're gonna do
you will shelter me my love
and i will shelter you
i will shelter you

dakota - stereophonics [joe ⇒ webster]

you made me feel like the one,
the one

what gets you through the night - the audition [webster ⇒ joe]
tried to find both my life and my love
took the time to write down all my thoughts
found that i need to let go of these
all of my worthless insecurities

gimme sympathy - metric [andy ⇒ eddie]
i'll remember someday
all the chances we took

come on baby, play me something
like "here comes the sun"

there's nothing that I could ever hide from you
oh you always knew me
you're the only one who knew me

open up your heart

that's me, that's me
the boy with the broken halo
that's me, that's me
the devil won't let me be



falling - florence + the machine [ray ⇒ walt]
fallen out of trees and i've fallen on my face
fallen out of taxis, out of windows too
fell in your opinion when i fell in love with you

epic last song - does it offend you, yeah? [ray ⇒ walt]
i say baby, babe i've loved you a long time
i try harder just to know you're all mine

we looked like giants - death cab for cutie [walt ⇒ ray] (guyssss, this song is so perfect for them, i can't even)
when every thursday
i'd brave those mountain passes
and you'd skip your early classes
and we'd learn how our bodies worked

hounds of love - the futureheads [hoosier ⇒ leckie]
i feel your arms surrounding me
i've always been a coward
and i don't know what's good for me
well, here I go
don't let me go



patient eye - midnight movies [leckie ⇒ hoosier]
a patient eye,
i wait for hours to land on mine
and rest your head for just the time it
takes to kiss your face one time

into the clouds - the sound of arrows [nixon ⇒ dick]
we could leave this place
and fly far away
let's escape this town
these streets and the cars and the crowds
then into the clouds

over my shoulder - i am kloot [dick ⇒ nixon]
nobody listened to a word i'd say
i didn't care who knew me then
someone stupid asked if we were friends, well

over my shoulder it goes,
back to a bar, we both used to know

electric avenue - eddy grant [whole 3rd floor!]
oh we gonna rock down to electric avenue
and then we'll take it higher

rock it in the daytime
rock it in the night
