For The Years Of Sadness [a Jeyne Poole fanmix for the bigbang_mixup]
Full album art, tracklistings, and download links under the cut.
Welcome to the first of two mixes I made for the bigbang_mixup. It was such a strange experience mixing without a specific character, series, or plot line in mind. I was scared that I had mixed something that was unable to translate into a proper story, but I had nothing to fear because both my mixes were claimed by wonderfully talented individuals who really captured this music in their stories.
The fic shinebunny wrote to accompany this mix is absolutely BEAUTIFUL. It's called Girl on Ice and it's just... it's lovely and heartbreaking and I don't know what to say about it other than it's perfect. (And that you should read it right now!)
The gorgeous album art was done by the always fantastic mad_teagirl. <3

For The Years Of Sadness
a Jeyne Poole fanmix
1. First Aid Kit - When I Grow Up
When I grow up
I want to live near the sea
Crab claws and bottles of rum
That’s what I’ll have
Staring at a seashell
Waiting for it to embrace me
2. Port O'Brien - Tree Bones
Now we're a little bigger
Still we have to cry
Pine by the sea my namesake
Soon will rot away
Watch the beetles eat bark
On another day
Mama will no longer be
3. Dario Marianelli - The End Of Childhood
[Instrumental]
4. Luke Leighfield & Jose Vanders - Blindsided
I crouch like a crow
Contrasting the snow
5. My Brightest Diamond - To Pluto’s Moon
I slam against the wall of permanence
And like a ghost I am spinning
In circles the dance of pluto's moon
6. Abigail Washburn - Bring Me My Queen [Daytrotter Version]
She takes all my love
Takes all my notions
Tears them all down to the ground
Oh, bring me my queen
7. Ensemble - Things I Forget
They come, they go
Things I collect
8. The Saturday Morning Canasta Club - I’ve Just Seen A Face
I have never known
The likes of this, I've been alone
And I have missed things and kept out of sight
But other guys were never quite like this
9. Alela Diane - Dry Grass and Shadows
There are things that I've seen in my head
While I'm sleeping in bed
Do not wither in the morning light
10. Diane Cluck - Wild Deer at Dawn
Look at the wild deer
Tumbling out from the wood to drink by the shore
I count twenty-seven or more
Sun rises up from our oars
11. Scala & Kolacny Brothers - Colorblind
Pull me out from inside
I am folded and unfolded and unfolding
I am colorblind
12. Dario Marianelli - The Call Within
[Instrumental]
13. Florence + The Machine - What The Water Gave Me
The world's a beast of a burden
You've been holding on a long time
And all this longing
And the ship's are left to rest
That's what the water gave us
14. Basia Bulat - Once More, For The Dollhouse
Your dreams are so quiet
Don't you need them anymore?
15. Ólafur Arnalds - Þau hafa sloppið undan þunga myrkursins
[Instrumental]
16. Sarah Slean - The Rose
For the years of sadness I will not mourn
For in the deepest darkness courage is born
