You're Never Going Home//A2A fanmix

May 09, 2010 16:46






Song based on the now famous SUPERTHEORY. I guess if squint there are SPOILERS up to S3, but mostly as this is based on a theory it's mostly conjecture rather than anything else.



Over at a2ashes, it's a generally held belief that dead Alex is dead as well as other members of CID. The stars, Keats, Gene, and absence of Molly also point to this.

I started to create this fanmix when I heard Franz Ferdinand's "Ulysses". The song pretty much sums up Alex's journey in her realization, that she is dead. But before she can move on and leave this 1980s parallel world/purgatory she has to accept her death and leave behind the things she treasured in her previous life.

Feel it All / Feist

I love you more
I love you more
I don't know what I knew before
But now I know I wanna win the war

Alex is going to do whatever it takes to get home.

20 years of Snow / Regina Spektor

But I got to get me out of here
This place is full of dirty old men
And the navigators with their mappy maps
And moldy heads and pissing on sugar cubes

Life in the ‘80s wears on Alex; her focus on her way home starts to waver.

Suspended in Gaffa / Kate Bush

That girl in the mirror.
Between you and me
She don't stand a chance of getting anywhere at all.

Things don’t get any clearer for Alex.

Ulysses / Franz Ferdinand

Oh... Oh, then suddenly you know
You’re never going home
You’re never going home.

Dream of Sheep / Kate Bush

Oh, I'll wake up
 to any sound of engines,

Ev'ry gull a seeking craft.

I can't keep my eyes open

Wish I had my radio.

I tune in to some friendly voices

Talking 'bout stupid things.

I can't be left to my imagination.

She knows home is too far away, but that won’t stop her from dreaming of it.

Prettiest Star / David Bowie

So tired, it's the sky that makes you feel tried
It's a trick to make you see wide
It can all but break your heart, in pieces

The stars haunt her and mock her.

Front Row (Acoustic) / Metric

I'm in the front row with a bottle
Don't know what I can't decide
I'm in the front row, I'm a model
Don't know what I can't describe
Burnout stars they shine so bright

Alex, Gene & the stars.

One Last Breath / Creed

Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking
That maybe six feet
Ain't so far down

Alex is almost ready.

Landslide / Fleetwood Mac

Well, I've been afraid of changin'

'Cause I've built my life around you

But time makes bolder, children get older

I'm getting older too, well

Letting go of Molly.

Let it Be / The Beatles

And when the broken hearted people living in the world agree,
there will be an answer, let it be.
For though they may be parted there is still a chance that they will see,
there will be an answer. let it be.

Coming to terms.
