Fanmix! Because That's What I Feel Like Doing
Also because I'm kinda liking Heroes again, a fair bit. And I wanted to share some musics. And so:
Admittedly there is no real, central theme here beyond "Songs That Remind Me of Heroes Characters/Events". But hey, I love the songs and I (mostly) love the characters, so here we are. Featuring songs about Sandra, Peter, Daphne, Claude...and others.
The Show Goes On
(The Beginning)
Read My Mind*- The Killers
The teenage queen, the loaded gun;
The drop-dead dream, the Chosen One,
A southern drawl, a world unseen;
A city wall and a trampoline.
Oh well I don't mind, if you don't mind
'Cause I don't shine if you don't shine
Before you jump,
Tell me what you find,
When you read my mind.
*This is a song entirely based on Heroes. I will not hear otherwise. Further proof can be found in the rest of the lyrics.
(Sylar)
A Boy Like Me- Patrick Wolf
A boy like me
Would never be seen
Fighting for peace
I want total chaos
And a holiday home in the east
(Adam)
A Good Idea At The Time- OK Go
Now, it’s true about my wealth
True about my taste
But you don’t need no help from me,
You'll lay yourself to waste
(Daphne)
Paper Planes- MIA
Sometimes I think sitting on trains
Every stop I get 'till I'm clocking that game
Everyone's a winner we're making our fame
Bonafide hustler making my name
(Isaac)
Last Words- The Real Tuesday Weld
I never saw the world the way the city looked to me today
I never thought the end would come this way
These are the last words
I'll say to you
Last night I dreamt that somebody had died
And it was one of us
I did the biggest thing that I could
But it was not enough
(Maya)
Al otro lado del rio- Jorge Drexler
El dia le ira pudiendo
poco a poco al frio.
Creo que he visto una luz
al otro lado del rio.
Sobre todo, creo que no todo esta perdido.
Tanta lagrima, tanta lagrima,
y yo soy un vaso vacio...
(Peter)
We Will Become Silhouettes- The Postal Service
And I'm looking through the glass
Where the light bends at the cracks
And I'm screaming at the top of my lungs
Pretending the echoes belong to someone
Someone I used to know
(Claude)
Of Angels and Angles- The Decemberists
There are angels in your angles
There's a low moon caught in your tangles
There's a ticking at the sill
There's a purr of a pigeon to break the still of day
(Sandra)
Ev’ry Time We Say Goodbye- Natalie Cole
Every time we say goodbye, I die a little,
Every time we say goodbye, I wonder why a little,
Why the gods above me, who must be in the know,
Think so little of me, they allow you to go.
(The Endgame)
The Show Must Go On- The Real Tuesday Weld
Well maybe we won’t be forgiven,
For all the things we’ve said and done,
But don’t you ever give up, or give in,
‘Cause you know,
The show must go on
Zip Link
for now and I'll do individual ones...later. I have added the individual links.
