I know that I just did a big music spam, but since I somehow missed the third frankenmix challenge, I'm just going to count it as that. So, without any further ado, here's my offering for
frankenmix 4.0, hosted by
calikali!
1. A song that could have written about/for you.
anna begins by counting crows
"these seconds when i'm shaking leave me shuddering/ for days," she says/ and i'm not ready for this sort of thing.
2. A song for that bad day to end all bad days.
waltz #2 (xo) by elliot smith
it's okay, it's alright, nothing's wrong/ tell mr. man with the impossible plans to just leave me alone.
3. A song about the end of the world.
do the evolution by pearl jam
crawled the earth/ now i'm higher/ 2010 watch it go to fire.
4. A song about the devil.
unravel by bjork
the devil collects it/ with a grin/ our love/ in a ball of yarn.
5. A song that reminds you of your favorite pair of jeans.
fake plastic trees by radiohead
but i can't help the feeling/ i could just blow through the ceiling/ if i just turn and run.
6. A song for lying to your mother.
the way we get by by spoon
we make love to some weird sin/ we seek out the taciturn/ that's the way we get by.
7. A drunk song.
gigantic by the pixies
gigantic, gigantic, gigantic/ a big big love.
8. A song for truth.
it's all understood by jack johnson
and fact is only what you believe/ and fact and fiction work as a team.
9. A song you could have written about somebody else.
what sarah said by death cab for cutie
but i'm thinking of what sarah said:/ that "love is watching someone die."
10. A song to listen to while watching a fire burn.
feeling a moment by feeder
turning to face what you've become/ bury the ashes of someone/ broken by the strain.
11. A song about an angel.
waiting on an angel by ben harper
hope you come to see me soon/ 'cause i don't want to go alone.
12. A modern-day lullaby.
on of these things first by nick drake
i could be yours so true/ i would be, i should be through and through/ i could have been/ one of these things first.
