This is my first fanmix, so please be gentle..! The mix basically includes songs which I feel fit with James, Juliet and their relationship together. The first few tracks fit best with the beginning of their relationship and the happier times they had, whilst the latter selection are more related to the angstier times they had towards the end of the season, particularly "The Incident" and the aftermath. Although, saying that, some of the songs can work both ways too! I tried to order them chronologically with that in mind, but I think each song does speak for itself.
Apologies for the artwork as well - if I was any good at graphics I would have included some pretty caps instead of just quotes :)
You still got my back?
Absolutely.
01. Better Man - James Morrison There was a time
I had nothing to give
I needed shelter from the storm I was in
And when it all got too heavy
You carried my weight
And I want to hold you
And I want to say
That you are all that I need
For you, I give my soul to keep
You see me, love me
Just the way I am
For you I am a better man
I said you are the reason
For everything that I do
I'd be lost, so lost, without you
You’ll be fine.
Maybe. But who’s gonna get my back?
02. Not Giving Up - Daniel Merriweather So I’m not giving up on love
You know our history
Girl we were meant to be
Why should I give you up my love
It was you and me
Now I’m left with nothing
Do you remember the flowers I sent, they don’t grow in September you know
You said you didn’t feel loved, you know better girl
But that was the story you told
You said that you tried and you tried
You kept telling those lies to yourself
What you feel you can’t hide
You won’t find it in nobody else
It feels like I can never let you go
Cause it just intensifies my pain
I wish there was a way to let you know
That being without you is not the same
You were amazing today.
Thank you for believing in me.
03. You Set Me Free - Michelle Branch You're in my heart
The only light that shines
there in the dark
Cause I wanted to fly,
so you gave me your wings
And time held its breath so I could see, yeah
And you set me free
When I was alone
You came around
When I was down
You pulled me through
And there's nothing that
I wouldn't do for you
I love you.
I love you too.
04. She Is - The Fray This is going to bring me to my knees
I just want to hold you close to me
She is everything I need that I never knew I wanted
She is everything I want that I never knew I needed
She is everything
(I needed)
She is everything
I’m doing it for her.
05. Hand Me Down - Matchbox 20 I'm here for the hard times
The straight to your heart times
Whenever it ain't easy
You can stand up against me
And maybe rely on me
And cry on me, yeah
Oh no, no, no
Some day they'll open up your world
Shake it down on a drawing board
Do their best to change you
They still can't erase you
From what I've seen
You're just a one more hand me down
Cause no one's tried to give you what you need
So lay all your troubles down
I am with you now
Lay them down on me
Oh yeah
You're just one more hand me down
And all those nots don't give you what you need
So lay all your troubles down...on me
Whatever happens I’ve got your back, remember?
06. Blue Eyes - Cary Brothers Cause Blue Eyes
You are all that I need
Cause Blue Eyes
You're the sweet to my mean
Fess it up, dot on the palm of your hand
I can help you to stand
Saved it up for this dance
Tell me all the things you can
I just wanna sing a song with you
I just wanna be the one that's true
Cause Blue Eyes
You're the secret I keep
Cause Blue Eyes
All the lights on and you are alive
But you can't point the way to your heart
So sublime, when the stars are aligned
But you don't know
You don't know the greatness you are
I’m with you.
07. Make this go on forever - Snow Patrol We have got through so much worse than this before
What's so different this time that you can't ignore
You say it is much more than just my last mistake
And we should spend some time apart for both our sakes
The last girl and the last reason to make this last for as long as I could
First kiss and the first time that I felt connected to anything
The weight of water, the way you told me to look past everything I had ever learned
The final word in the final sentence you ever uttered to me was love
If I never meet you...then I never have to lose you.
08. Forgive Me - Evanescence Then you look at me
You're not shouting anymore
You're silently broken
I'd give anything now
to kill those words for you
Each time I say something I regret I cry "I don't want to lose you."
But somehow I know that you will never leave me, yeah.
Cause you were made for me
Somehow I'll make you see
How happy you make me
I can't live this life
Without you by my side
I need you to survive
Where do you think you’re going, blondie?
09. Against All Odds - The Postal Service I wish I could just make you turn around
Turn around and see me cry
There's so much I need to say to you
So many reasons why
You're the only one who really knew me at all
So take a look at me now
There's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
But take a look at me now
There's just an empty space
But to wait for you is all I can do
And that's what I've gotta face
Don’t you leave me.
It's ok.
Don’t you leave me.
10. Set the fire to the third bar - Snow Patrol feat. Martha Wainwright After I have travelled so far
We'd set the fire to the third bar
We'd share each other like an island
Until exhausted, close our eyelids
And dreaming, pick up from
The last place we left off
Your soft skin is weeping
A joy you can't keep in
I'm miles from where you are,
I lay down on the cold ground
And I, I pray that something picks me up
and sets me down in your warm arms
I love you James, I love you so much.
11. I Will Remember You But I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Dont let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
Im so afraid to love you, but more afraid to loose
Clinging to a past that doesnt let me choose
Once there was a darkness, deep and endless night
You gave me everything you had, oh you gave me light
12. Destiny - Zero 7 On a clear day
I'll fly home to you
I'm bending time getting back to you
Old moon fades into the new
Soon I know I'll be back with you
I'm nearly with you
I'm nearly with you
When I'm weak I draw strength from you
And when you're lost I know how to change your mood
And when I'm down you breathe life over me
Even though we're miles apart we are each other's destiny
