Fanmix: Counting Stars [Torchwood: Jack/Ianto]
Is it still called a fanmix if it's based on my fanfic and I'm the one putting it together?
Anyway.
a Jack/Ianto fanmix
based on Counting Stars
All songs and album artwork (front and back covers, and an insert; two versions up) available for download here (shh). Let me know if any links don't work.
Some were ripped from Youtube, so apologies for any odd artwork that might crop up. iTunes is good about deleting any screengrabs you don't want... WMP, apparently not so much.
it’s a jigsaw puzzle life
and i’m trying to put the pieces together
Carry Me Home
The Hush Sound
The streets were flooded and in the tides were pessimists
So I just dove right in, I felt at home
I felt alive, I felt that I fit in
So I’ll just keep dreaming
Oh, oh, oh, won’t you carry me home
It’s the last time in life that I’ll ever try
A Beautiful Mess
Jason Mraz
And what a beautiful mess this is
Well, it’s like we’re picking up trash in dresses
Well, it kind of hurts when the kind of words you write
Kind of turn themselves into knives
And don’t mind my nerve, you could call it fiction
But I like being submerged in your contradictions, dear
sitting pretty at the end of the world
The Man Comes Around
Johnny Cash
Hear the trumpets, hear the pipers
One hundred million angels singin’
Multitudes are marchin’ to the big kettledrum
Voices callin’, voices cryin’
Some are born and some are dyin’
It’s alpha and omega’s kingdom come
it’s coming together now
but the edges are jagged
Epiphany
Staind
‘Cause it’s always raining in my head
Forget all the things I should have said
So I speak to you in riddles
‘Cause my words get in my way
Again
Janet Jackson
A wounded heart you gave
My soul you took away
Good intentions you had many
I know you did
I come from a place that hurts
an’ God knows how I’ve cried
interlude:
jack’s song
Back Where You Belong
.38 Special
I heard you’re askin’ how I’m feeling,
I guess I’ll play it day by day
I’m still around now, my heart is healing
But some things never gonna change
‘Cause now I know, love ain’t easy to find
I let you go, now I’m changing my mind
hit by a car but i don’t care
Save the Best for Last
Vanessa Williams
‘Cause there was a time when all I did was wish
You’d tell me this was love
It’s not the way I hoped or how I planned
But some how it’s enough
And now we’re standing face to face
Isn’t this world a crazy place
Just when I thought our chance had passed
You go and save the best for last
Don’t Dream It’s Over
Crowded House
There is freedom within, there is freedom without
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
There’s a battle ahead, many battles are lost
But you’ll never see the end of the road
While you’re travelling with me
gonna frame the pictures
dust ‘em every day and never let ‘em break
Like You’ll Never See Me Again
Alicia Keys
If I had no more time
No more time left to be here
Would you cherish what we had?
Was it everything that you were looking for?
Hope For The Hopeless
A Fine Frenzy
Cold in a summer breeze
Yeah, you’re shivering
On your bended knee
Still, when your heart is sore
And the heavens pour
Like a willow bending with the storm
You’ll make it
This is a Low
Blur
This is a low
But it won’t hurt you
When you are alone, it will be there with you
Finding ways to stay solo
‘cause you’re looking
and you see me
I’ll Stand By You
Pretenders
Don’t be ashamed to cry
Let me see you through
‘Cause I’ve seen the dark side too
When the night falls on you
You don’t know what to do
Nothing you confess
Could make me love you less
no shadows in my eyes now
or monsters under the bed
Perfect
Simple Plan
Hey Dad, look at me
Think back and talk to me
Did I grow up according to plan?
Do you think I’m wasting my time
Doing things I wanna do?
The Middle
Jimmy Eat World
Hey
You know they’re all the same
You know you’re doing better on your own
So don’t buy in
Live right now
Yeah, just be yourself
It doesn’t matter if it’s good enough
For someone else
Back On Top
Van Morrison
You saw me climbing to the top of the hill
You saw me meeting with the fools on the hill
Learned my lesson and I had my fill
Learned it all in vain
Went through it all again
Now I’m back on the top again
but this world’s a scary place
Victim of Reality
Pennywise
Because one good shot and you’ll end up dead
It’s violence on the streets and it will never end
The world is not built for me and you’re my next victim
Victim of reality
Voices screaming in my head telling me the path that I tread
It’s not sane but it’s where we’re fed
You’re gonna end up dead
interlude:
jack’s lament
Can’t Cry Hard Enough
Bellefire
Gonna look back in vain
And see you standing there
When all that remains
Is an empty chair
And now that you’re gone
I can’t cry hard enough
No, I can’t cry hard enough
For you to hear me now
take my hand and i’ll never let go
trust me and i’ll never lose faith
Run To Me
Nick Lachey
Over your head
Trying not to drown
Reaching for a breath
Before it drags you down
Caught in between
All the pain you feel
You lost control
You’re letting go
But I never will
this is the story of our lives
Return to Innocence
Enigma
Don’t care what people say
Just follow your own way
Don’t give up and use the chance
To return to innocence
That’s not the beginning of the end
That’s the return to yourself
The return to innocence
Soera would like to thank:
the wonderful blackbloodrunya, who created the gorgeous album artwork (version 2; cover posted here) at Soera's request (and redid the back cover twice after Soera changed her mind about the songs), and
the amazing Areale, who laughed politely at Soera's attempts at poetry, then helped her bash it into shape, and was also generally supportive through the madness of what-song-fits-I-can't-believe-I'm-using-Nick-Lachey.
