Suddenly We're Older [a Third Generation Skins fanmix]
Full album art, tracklisting, and download links under the cut.
Guys, I love generation three. I love them so much.
The mix is a bit of a third part to my previous generation mixes, as it follows the same format. (Part one being Testament to Youth in Verse for the first generation and So Young & Tragic for the second generation.) So yeah, I don't know why that's particularly important, I just find it really satisfying haha.
The first song I knew I wanted on this mix was Josh Mann's cover of Bridges and Balloons. I was immediately reminded of it after Rich's episode. A harsher sounding male voice covering Joanna Newson? So perfect. Even if it doesn't have a hard enough sound for the character, I think it captures the relationship between him and Grace wonderfully. And um, I think I've started to ramble so I'm just going to stop here and let you go check out the mix yourselves.
Enjoy!

Suddenly We're Older
a Third Generation fanmix
Everyone
1. The Like - Fair Game
Just a teeny bit amoral
Fiercely pessimistic
But we're one big family
What's that darling?
Who says family doesn't kiss?
Oh, every gang's a bit incestuous
Franky
2. Bat For Lashes - Wilderness
Took off all of our armor
Every last single drop of gold
Rich
3. Josh Mann - Bridges and Balloons
Oh my love
Oh it was a funny little thing
To be the ones to've seen
Mini
4. Marina & the Diamonds - I Am Not A Robot (Clock Opera Remix)
You've been acting awful tough lately
Smoking a lot of cigarettes lately
But inside, you're just a little baby
It's okay to say you've got a weak spot
You don't always have to be on top
Better to be hated
Than love, love, loved for what you're not
Liv
5. Robots In Disguise - The Sex Has Made Me Stupid
He has made me stupid
She has made me stupid
We have made me stupid
I have made me stupid
Matty
6. Larrikin Love - Meet Me by the Getaway Car
Send my love to the city
Cause I'll be having an affair this summer
And this town's very gritty
So I'll be living off the life of another
Nick
7. Kanye West - Runaway
And I always find
Yeah, I always find something wrong
You been puttin’ up with my shit just way too long
Alo
8. Patrick Wolf - A Boy Like Me
And a boy like me
Should shut those books
Join the army
And a boy like me
Would never be seen
Fighting for peace
I want total chaos
And a holiday home in the east
Grace
9. Dawn Landes - Kids in a Play
We are like kids in a play
Set in the Victorian age
We only know what to say
Because we practiced at home
Everyone
10. Jeremy Warmsley - Craneflies
What a surprise
We grew up
