The Dark I Know Well [a Charles/Erik AU fanmix]
Full album art, tracklisting, and download links under the cut.
So for the past few weeks I've been working on three different Charles/Erik mixes. I've gotten a bit ridiculous, I know. This is actually the one I started last, but is surprisingly the one I've finished first.
I just fell in love with the Detective/Serial Killer AU written by hero_for_ghosts and couldn't stop thinking about it. Seriously, I was working on the other mixes and going "This song definitely reminds me of Charles/Erik, but it makes me think of the CK-verse more than anything else..." and it simply got to the point where I just had to mix for it.
(Also guys, I'm ridiculous excited that I asked mad_teagirl to make the cover art for this because it's just gorgeous, isn't it? Seriously, I can't get over how absolutely perfect it is.)
I've nothing else to say other than I hope this mix does hero_for_ghosts's fantastic fic justice!

The Dark I Know Well
a Charles/Erik fanmix
inspired by hero-for-ghosts's story
3 - One hell of a mess, but at least it's easy clean-up.
1. Vitamin String Quartet - The Ghost Of You
[Instrumental]
4 - YOU DESERVE TO DIE LIKE THIS.
2. Tunng - Secrets
Tell me frankly
Tell me again
What you told me out on the street
3. Echo & the Bunnymen - The Killing Moon
Under blue moon I saw you
So soon you'll take me
Up in your arms
1 - Run while you still can.
4. Mogwai - I Know You Are, But What Am I?
[Instrumental]
5. Interpol - Wrecking Ball
Nobody told you
That I could just waltz through
And shake up your style
5 - Down the drain and out of your mouth.
6. Le Loup - Grow
It’s not that I don't want to
It’s just that then I'll never be the same
7. Tunng - Bullets
We're catching bullets in our teeth
It’s hard to do but they're so sweet
And if they take a couple out
We try to work things out
We catching bullets with our heads and hearts
And all the darkest parts of us
It's strange to find such light
In such endless night
6 - The Division Bell.
8. Beck - Walls
Because you know that we're better than that
But some days we're worse than you can imagine
And how am I supposed to live with that
With all these train wrecks coming at random
9. The Vines - Spaceship
Mother said: get me out
Brother meant: get me out
7 - Living lower, feeling higher.
10. Grizzly Bear - Foreground (Instrumental Version)
[Instrumental]
8 - A walk-on part in the war; a lead role in a cage.
11. Arctic Monkeys - Pretty Visitors
Your legs start running and your leg gets caught
Cannot be nineteen, it's perfectly placed for the reasonably frightening
Pulled from the after taste, you'll have to slip away
And I'm happy to say
Behold as the crook in a hammock plays
All the pretty visitors came and waved their arms
And cast the shadow of a snake pit on the wall
12. Vitamin String Quartet - The Dark I Know Well
[Instrumental]
13. Bloc Party - Plans
So kiss me before it all gets complicated
I've got a taste for blood
14. Beck - Little One
Go to sleep
We're so tired now
Altogether in a snake pit of souls
2 - Some time around midnight.
15. Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Bad Things
When you came in the air went out
And every shadow filled up with doubt
I wanna do bad things, I wanna do bad things
I wanna do bad things with you
16. Depeche Mode - I Feel You
I feel you, each move you make
I feel you, each breath you take
11 - His body is a battlefield.
17. Ivri Lider - Telephone
Stop callin'
Stop callin'
I don't wanna think anymore
18. Interpol - Lights
Strong as you seem
Old as you behave
That’s why I hold you
19. Hurts - Illuminated
Time waits for no one
So do you want to waste some time tonight?
Don't be afraid of tomorrow
Just take my hand
I’ll make it feel so much better tonight
9 - Burning out, going harder.
20. Adrian Johnston - Guilt
[Instrumental]
21. Greg Laswell - Your Ghost
Slide down your receiver
Sprint across the wire
Follow my number
Slide into my hand
10 - My bullet makes no distinction.
22. The Last Shadow Puppets - Black Plant
Why would you say sorry?
Oh why would you?
23. Gary Numan - Absolution
I would swim across oceans
Just to talk with you
I would climb a tall mountain
Just to look at you
I'd give my soul to the devil
If you asked me to
I would walk out of heaven
Just to be with you
This is absolute
This is absolution
24. Christopher O’Riley - Bulletproof
[Instrumental]
