it is tsn bigbang art time again! w00t!!
fandom: the social network (duh)
pairing: mark/eduardo
notes: a fanmix for
irrelephance's absolutely gorgeous and beautiful and feels-inducing fic,
a long way back to the light. everyone go and read it now! there are toasters with a temper, badass mutants, roof gardens, and other fabulous things! i'm so happy i got to make art for this fic, it's so amazing. also
irrelephance is the sweetest human and didn't even yell at me for doing everything last minute. thank you so much babe. (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)
i've never made one for fandomy purposes before, but i really put a lot of thought/love into this, so i hope it does the amazing fic justice. ♥ i tried to use songs that express eduardo's feelings pre-kirkland, everyone's struggles in a society that isn't always so welcoming towards the genetically-divergent, the feelings between mark and eduardo, the things they learn from each other, and just generally the beautiful friendship between everyone in the fic. I COULD GO ON AND RAMBLE ABOUT THE MEANING OF EACH SONG BUT LET'S CRACK ON WITH THE SHOW SHALL WE. here's the fanmix:
D O W N L O A D H E R E(ps. i tried to put the mix on 8tracks as well but it kept replacing one track with something else, so i gave up ;; sorry about that!)

The storm is coming but I don't mind
People are dying, I close my blinds
All that I know is I'm breathing now
I want to change the world
Instead I sleep

All I was searchin' for was me
Ooh, all I was searchin' for was me
Keep your head up, keep your heart strong
No, no, no, no
Keep your mind set, keep your hair long
Oh my my darlin' keep your head up, keep your heart strong
04.
Show me how pretty the world is
'Cause you're brilliant when you try
Show me how pretty the whole world is tonight
I never thought that I could be who I am
I never thought that I could see where I was
I always thought that all this was just wasn't me
I always thought that all this was could never be

Everybody’s been there,
Everybody’s been stared down by the enemy
Fallen for the fear
And done some disappearing,
Bowed down to the mighty
Don’t run, just stop holding your tongue
Maybe there’s a way out of the cage where you live
Maybe one of these days you can let the light in
07.
What do I do when my love is away?
(Does it worry you to be alone?)
How do I feel by the end of the day?
(Are you sad because you're on your own?)
No, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, going to try with a little help from my friends
08.
I was scared to be holdin' on
(My love it's only a wave of light)
To be holdin' onto you
(My love it's only a wave of light)
09.
And I love that here you live with me
Gives me the greatest peace I've ever known
'Cause I've been too long a lonely man
Yes, I've been too long a rolling stone
So let seasons turn
Grow paradise garden
And to my migration
The native has returned
