General (meme) - Relationships - Another Word For Thesaurus
Resurrecting an old meme, because it sounded fun when I was sitting in traffic last week. :P
Meme rules:
1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first article title on the page is the name of your band.
2. http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four words of the very last quote is the title of your album.
3. http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/
The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.
4.Use your graphics program of choice to throw them together, and post the result in your own journal.
5. Make a mix (if you want to).
Okay, so I actually started to work on this last week. I was thinking it would just be a fun, fast, easy way to get my ass working on mixes. I do have one I need to finish for the International Day of Femslash after all. Anyway, it started with getting the name and artwork, then deciding what sound "the band" would have. Of course, it evolved into something completely unexpected. I tried to tell a general story with this mix. It's basically about two people. They are both in love with two other people, and when those relationships do develop, it's a forgone conclusion that things will end badly. And they do. But in the ashes of those heart break, these two people turn to each other and become lovers. At first that's all it is pure and simple. But then it slowly gets more serious, one may realize that before the other. But they both eventually realize that they were meant to be. And while this may not be their first love, or what they had expected; that doesn't make it any less special or real.
tl;dr Who takes memes way to seriously? I DO!
Strawberry Gloss - Jill Sobule
Older girls with the Sun-In hair
then my best friend became aware
of the boys after school
she began to wear
strawberry gloss
Someday, some way
love will be calling, and I will be falling
some time, I'll find someone to love me, too
Something to Talk About - Badly Drawn Boy
Ipso Facto
Using up your oxygen you know
I'm shallow
Callin' out for extra help
You've got to let me in or let me out
Hot Air Balloon - Owl City
I'll be out of my mind
and you'll be out of ideas pretty soon
so let's spend the afternoon in a cold hot air balloon
leave your jacket behind
lean out and touch the tree tops over town
I can't wait to kiss the ground wherever we touch back down
We drank the great lakes like cold lemonade
and both got stomach aches, sprawled out in the shade
swore to death, you held your breath
and I tried not to yawn
you made my frown turn upside down and now my worries are gone
Makeup - Dressy Bessy
They say, it's all over
I'm your, lucky clover
I'm not, good at guess it
Why not, you confess it
You said, you & I
would read fairy tales
again one night &
you & I
would make up adventures in our minds
Just A Dream - Great Northern
Long roads never cast the long burning embers
Of your heart
When the sun rose the surface,
It removed the reflection of you
Long roads don't mean anything to me now
They're gone...
And done...
Into the sun...
For now...
Pick up your stones and go to work on my bones
Then tell me if I'll be alright
Quiet As A Mouse - Margot and the Nuclear So and Sos
When I woke I was alive in somebody's room
I felt life and love and hope infesting my bones
Wake up you've got a lot of things to do
Wake up the sun is rising without you
Cheer Up (You Miserable Fuck) - David Ford
And dust, it settles on shelves
Will you shake me from myself
And tell me I'm alright?
And all the time on your own
The flowers have grown
Under your feet
Hallie - Mobius Band
Hallie I still love you anyway,
You don't have to take back what you said,
You're so full of yourself, you're so full of yourself,
There's no room for anything else
Oh no, oh no, oh no
At the start, your face lit like a church
And cross myself deaf, dumb and getting worse,
So we tumble inside the length of your dress,
No one's talking to anyone else,
Oh no, oh no, oh no
Don't Die In Me - Mirah
The mighty continents divided
For a second time in all history
They found themselves just floating
Free from all responsibility
Without the weight of being whole
Some fruits evolved all on their own
But if you want something back
All the things that got cracked
When I felt like you lied to me
And all the million mistakes
And the kicks in the face
But I don't want you to die in me
So when you say what you want
That you need what you got
Don't forget to be kind to me
Silver Stallion - Cat Power
I'm gonna find me a reckless man
Razor blades and ice in his eyes
Just a touch of sadness in his fingers
Thunder and lightning in his thighs
And we're gonna ride
We're gonna ride
Ride like the one-eyed Jack of Diamonds
With the Devil close behind
We're gonna ride
We're gonna ride...
I'm The Man Who Loves You - Wilco
All I can see is black and white
And white and pink with blades of blue
That lay between the words I think on a page
I was meaning to send to
You, I couldn't tell if it'd bring my heart
The way I wanted when I started
Writing this letter to you
But if I could, you know I would
Just hold your hand and you'd understand
I'm the man who loves you
Little Red Bird - Lisa Marr Experiment
Little red bird held my fortune,
held my fortune ‘neath her wing.
Little red bird held my fortune.
Listen to her sing.
Parentheses - The Blow
And when you're holding me
We make a pair of parentheses
There's plenty space to encase
Whatever weird way my mind goes
I know I'll be safe in these arms
Air Pollution - Page France
I once adored a chemical reaction
her eyes were made from pieces of the moon.
But now I fight the angels for a halo,
she feels that she has nothing left to prove
We once owned dreams of being something useful,
a sword someone would keep at their side
a friction that would spark a revolution
a radio in tune with the sky
