Maybe if We're Loud We'll Stay Alive - A Jimmy/Abby Mix

Jul 12, 2009 18:26





Well. I feel as if I need some sort of explanation for this here mix. Time line wise, it's all over the place. Starts perhaps before they arrive on the island, in Jimmy's point of view. There's a bit of denial, a bit of anger, a bit of acceptance for the relationship and the love he lost all those years ago. Transatlanticism, like in the show, marks the revival of their relationship, which, amidst the fear and pain, is a desperate love. An 'all or nothing' love. It's this stage, also, where it transitions from Jimmy's point of view, into their shared view.  Somersault comes into play during the scene in the garage, followed by Wasteland, which seemed like no better way to describe what they were leaving behind. I think Perfect Ending, sums it all up quite nicely; If you made it; just be glad that you did and stay there. There's no perfect ending.

Nothings Ever Going To Stand In My Way (Again) - Wilco
Waste the days, waste the nights
Try to downplay being uptight
Oh, you're right, but I believe
A kiss is all we need

Left and Leaving - The Weakerthans
Memory will rust and erode into lists of all that you gave me:
a blanket, some matches, this pain in my chest,
the best parts of Lonely, duct-tape and soldered wires,
new words for old desires,
and every birthday card I threw away.

Ghost of a Good Thing - Dashboard Confessional
Just bend the pieces till they fit
Like they were made for it
But they weren't meant for this

Transatlanticism - Death Cab for Cutie
The rhythm of my footsteps crossing floodlands to your door
Have been silenced forever more.
I need you so much closer.

Colly Strings - Manchester Orchestra
Besides, don't release me until it's over
And besides, you can't believe without bleeding

Hope for the Hopeless - A Fine Frenzy
Still, when you're heart is sore
And the heavens pour
Like a willow bending with the storm, you'll make it
There's hope for the hopeless.

Set the Fire to the Third Bar - Snow Patrol feat. Martha Wainwright
I touch the place where I'd find your face
My finger in creases of distant dark places

No One Would Riot For Less - Bright Eyes
Well wake, baby, wake.
But leave that blanket around you, there's nowhere else safe.
I'm leaving this place, but there's nothing I'm planning to take;
Just you, just you, just you, just you-

Common Reactor - Silversun Pickups
Cut even if we barricade the door and seal it with the
Blood found on the floor
We're always going to cross the finish line
While everybody wants to run and hide

Somersault - Decoder Ring
In my heart, you'll stay
In my heart, with me.

Wasteland - Augustana
Cause it's 5 o'clock
The hour stops the sunlight
Through the summer sand, we're living in
We're living in a wasteland

The Perfect Ending - Straylight Run
And if it's over
Just remember what I told you
It was bound to happen
So, just keep moving on
There's no perfect endings
No perfect endings
