Streetlight People - a Ryan/Taylor fanmix
In honor of the last episode of The OC airing tonight *sobs*, I decided that I would do something to celebrate my love for the show that has meant so much to me over the years. It was my first obsession, and basically what got me into fandom.
Although Seth/Summer is probably my number one OC OTP, my love for Ryan/Taylor is so great that I just had to make a fanmix for them. Obviously, Rylor has only developed this season, but I found myself quickly falling in love with them. I loved watching their characters develop and grow together. Ryan has changed so much since the beginning, which is really the essence of the show, and he's actually happy now, and I think Taylor is a large part of that. But this was fun, so I may make a Seth/Summer fanmix sometime in the very near future.
But anyway, this is my first fanmix, so I'd love any feedback. Most of these songs are very optimistic, but there are a couple more angsty songs. And of course, there's some Journey. Do not insult Journey!
Unfortunately, I have no zip file because my connection is really not ready to handle that, so I hope individual song links are okay for everyone.
A big thanks to blackbird_fly for the help! You're the best!
I've rambled enough, so enjoy! (Oh, and there aren't any spoilers for the finale. Only aired episodes.)
BALANCE BEAM blue october
one: you've got to take it kind of slowly
two: you've got to hurry up and make your move
three: you've got to tell her that she's pretty
four: you've got to be the perfect gentleman
when you shake the walls, you've got to make 'em bend
yeah you're got to show her that she's pretty
she's so pretty
you're the balance beam
and i keep falling all around this fairy tale
FLOWERS IN THE WINDOW travis
when i first held you i was cold
a melting snowman i was told
but there was no one there to hold
before i swore that i would be alone forever more
wow, look at you now
flowers in the window
its such a lovely day
and i'm glad that you feel the same
STRANGE WAY honestly
who will i be today
when all is said and done?
if i ask will you stay
forever is never long enough
SUSPENDED matt nathanson
when you lead me
and fit around my tongue
it's so easy, to forget that i'm lost
spent all of my life
waiting for answers
to lift me, to numb me, to define it all
SWAY bic runga
let all the things you mean to me
come tumbling out my mouth
indeed its time, tell you why
i say it's infinitely true
7 KEYS aqualung
it wasn't open
but somehow you let yourself in
closed off and broken
i never wanted to go there again
i wasn't waiting
but you came at just the right time
weary and wasted
i never knew i could feel so alive
PAPERWEIGHT joshua radin & schuyler fisk
paperweight on my back
cover me like a blanket
mess up my bed with me
kick off the covers i'm waiting
every word you say i think
i should write down
don't want to forget come daylight
REST OF MY LIFE michelle featherstone
we hold hands,
we take walks and talk,
and laugh about things
i'll tell you what,
this could be the way,
that every day was meant to be
SHE IS LOVE oasis
i don't know where you come from
no i haven't got a clue
all i know is i'm in love
with someone who loves me too
LOVE YOU 'TIL THE END the pogues
i just want to see you
when you're all alone
i just want to catch you if i can
i just want to be there
when the morning light explodes
on your face it radiates
i can't escape
i love you 'til the end
DON'T STOP BELIEVIN' journey
don't stop believin'
hold on to that feelin'
streetlight people...
Taylor: It’s hard dating someone who doesn’t tell you how
they feel, and always having to interpret hand squeezes, and...
Ryan: I love you.
Now excuse me while I go cry over the loss of the show.
