Fanmix: Star Crossed World
At last! My completed Doctor Who Fanmix. If you'd like, you can download the art, songs, and the whole shebang at Mediafire!(here)
I've also uploaded the individual songs and art, so if you want to be picky/choosy, you can do that as well! Behind the cut I've highlighted bits and pieces of why I chose each song, lyric wise. The album has a heavily hinted Doctor/Rose subtext, of course, but I think a lot of it captures just the feeling of exhiliration that is time/space travel - still, this thing was more of a b*tch to make than I thought - lol. So, please, enjoy!
1. Coldplay - Square One
You're in control, is there anywhere you wanna go?
You're in control, is there anything you wanna know?
The future's for discovering
The space in which we're travelling
2. Stars - The Night Starts Here
The night starts here, the night starts here,
forget your name, forget your fear
The night starts here, the night starts here,
forget your name, forget your fear
3. Keane - Atlantic
I hope all my days will be lit by your face
I hope all the years will hold tight our promises
I don't want to be old and sleep alone
An empty house is not a home
I don't want to be old and feel afraid
4. Arcade Fire - Rebellion (Lies)
Sleeping is giving in, no matter what the time is. sleeping is giving
in, so lift those heavy eyelids.
people say that you'll die faster than without water. but we know it's
just a lie, scare your son and scare your daughter.
people say that your dreams are the only things that save ya.
come on baby in our dreams, we can live our misbehaviour.
everytime you close your eyes lies, lies!
5. The Killers - Spaceman
And you know I might
Have just flown too far from the floor this time
Cause they're calling me by my name
And the zipping white light beams
Disregards the bombs and satellites
6. Muse - Starlight
Far away
This ship is taking me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die
Starlight
I will be chasing the starlight
Until the end of my life
I don't know if it's worth it anymore
7. Bloc Party - Pioneers
If it can be broke then it can be fixed, if it can be fused then it can be split
It's all under control
If it can be lost then it can be won, if it can be touched then it can be turned
All you need is time
We promised the world we'd tame it, what were we hoping for?
8. Goldfrapp - Lovely 2 C U
I wanna get out of here
Inhale your sky
A beautiful place to be
So I don't know why
9. Shiny Toy Guns - Le Disko
Now hold onto me pretty baby
If you want to fly
I'm gonna melt the fever sugar
Rolling back your eyes
We're gonna ride the race cars
We're gonna dance on fire
We're the girls Le Disko
Supersonic overdrive
10. Queen - Crazy Little Thing Called Love
This thing called love I just can't handle it
This thing called love I must get round to it
I ain't ready, crazy little thing called love
11. Gwen Stefani - Dangerzone
I can't imagine how hard it must be to be you
Adopting all your history it's hard being me too
Are your secrets where you left them? cause now your ghosts are mine as well
I think it's time I met them and I think it's time you tell
12. The Shins - New Slang
New slang when you notice the stripes, the dirt in your fries.
Hope it's right when you die, old and bony.
Dawn breaks like a bull through the hall,
Never should have called
But my head's to the wall and i'm lonely
13. Maroon 5 - Secret
I know I don't know you
But I want you so bad
Everyone has a secret
But can they keep it
Oh no they can't
14. The Church - Under The Milky Way Tonight
And its something quite peculiar,
Something that's shimmering and white.
Leads you here despite your destination
Under the milky way tonight
15. Tori Amos - Digital Ghost
It started as a joke
Just one of my larks to see
If somehow I could reach you so
I swam into your shores
Through an open window
Only to find you all alone
Curled up with machines
Now it seems you're slipping
Out of the land of the living
16. Snow Patrol - What If This Storm Ends
What if the storm ends?
And I don't see you
As you are now
Ever again
The perfect halo
Of gold hair and lightning
Sets you off against
The planets last dance
Just for a minute
The siilver-forked sky
Lifts you up like a star
That I will follow
But now it's found us
Like I have a found you
I don't wanna run
Just overwhelm me
* Bonus Tracks
Coldplay - Politik
Look at the earth from outer space
Everyone must find a place
Give me time and give me space
Give me real don't give me fake
Give me strength, reserve control
Give me heart and give me soul
Give me time, give us a kiss
Tell me your own politik
And open up your eyes, open up your eyes
Stars - The Beginning After The End (instrumental, save for end quote):
oh the blood and the treasure and the losing it all
the time that we wasted
and the place where we fall
will we wake in the morning and know what it was for,
up in our bedroom
after the war?
On other notes...
Looking forward to Summer Writing/Fanart Challenege at conchords_slash. I have...an idea up my sleeve...oh me and my smut-filled cranium!
Also working on Ten II/Rose setences for 1_sentence! Yes, I am addicted to that comm - its hard but easy?
Still haven't forgotten my other FOTC plot bunnies either - they're just sort of...nesting?
AND YAY! JIM PARSONS EMMY NOM! NOM, NOM, NOM! I'm glad Jemaine is nominated too but, shall speaketh the blasphem, and say I hope Jim wins. LOVE Jemaine but really, Jim deserves it for that whole Rock/Paper/Scissors/Lizard/Spock speech alone.
And let me just say, in general, the Emmy noms this year are pretty stellar. For once a lot of people/shows I like are nominated - whether they win or not is up for debate but the fact they even got noms? I'm kinda amazed with the Emmy...academy or whatever/whoever does the noms...'cause normally I could care less.
LASTLY - started watching the original Star Trek series since hubby caved and got a PS3 (ala blu ray) player - it's pretty awesome with its' I-look-like-I-shot-this-in-my-basement sets. Still working through Torchwood as well!
Ta ta for now, loves!!
