as the wife would say: look, i made a thing.
This makes far more sense if you check out faerietalebook, the comm where allthelivesofme, auri_mynonys and I are posting our fics in this fairy tale universe. We've basically combined just about every Grimm fairy tale with Peter Pan, Alice in Wonderland, and the Wizard of Oz, twisted everything into darker or weirder shapes, and wrote whatever our imaginations fancy. This is a world where Beauty has been cursed with ugliness for her vanity, where the "charming" Prince keeps a harem, where Little Red Riding Hood is a heartless assassin, and where Alice falls in love with Snow White. Hope you enjoy our new spins on these old tales, and check out this accompanying soundtrack!
01. main titles | rachel portman
[instrumental]
02. boats and birds | gregory and the hawk
if you be my boat
I'll be your sea
a depth of pure blue just to probe curiosity
ebbing and flowing and pushed by a breeze
I live to make you free
I live to make you free
but you can set sail to the west if you want to
and past the horizon till I can't even see you
far from here where the beaches are wide
just leave me your wake to remember you by
{Wendy & Hook | Wendy & Peter}
03. rangers | a fine frenzy
The paths have been crossed
The crumbs are gone and the way, and the way is lost
Melancholy phantoms eye our skins
And poisoned apples falling with the wind
Hear the sigh of the trees
Those who enter here never leave
Further in the hole we go
Saddest creatures tugging at our
Cutting through the twilight, sword in hand
Strangers once united against the land
At the sound of the bells
They're pulling paper lanterns from their shelves
{The Resistance against the Red Queen}
04. sinking friendships | jonsi
My lips are pale blue
My shivering half-moon
My lost night's slowest tune
Is the end of the end of the end
We're sinking friendships
We drown more and more
{The Mermaids}
05. violet hill | coldplay
I took my love down to violet hill
There we sat in snow
All that time she was silent still
Said if you love me, won't you let me know?
If you love me, won't you let me know?
{Alice & Snow White in the Resistance}
06. white rabbit | jefferson airplane
When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen's "off with her head!"
Remember what the dormouse said;
"Keep YOUR HEAD
{Alice & the White Rabbit | in the face of madness}
07. HOWL | florence + the machine
Now there's no holding back, I'm making to attack
My blood is singing with your voice, I want to pour it out
The saints can't help me now, the ropes have been unbound
I hunt for you with bloody feet across the hallowed ground
Like some child possessed, the beast howls in my veins
I want to find you, tear out all of your tenderness
And howl, howl
{Red Riding & the Prince}
08. clash of the titans | immediate music
[instrumental]
09. little secrets | passion pit
Mother I can tell what you've been thinking
staring at the stars on your ceiling
thinking once there was a power that you were wielding
and now I've hit the mark
stabbing at the dark
and I cannot help but ignore the people staring at my scars
{The Prince's dawning awareness.}
09. shape shifter | local natives
My king, I'm humbled before you, I bow
Moods like you're pulled by the moonlight, somehow
How is the language we're speaking the same?
Shape shifter have you discovered a change?
Psycho, you killer, you cancer, my friend
Why don't you give me an answer for when
When you'll let it go
{The Prince to Red Riding}
10. liquid diamonds | tori amos
I'm liquid running
there's a sea secret in me
it's plain to see it is rising
but I must be flowing liquid diamonds
calling for my soul at the corners of the world
I know she's playing poker with the rest of the stragglers
calling for my soul at the corners of the world
{The Red Queen}
11. rabbit heart (raise it up) | florence + the machine
I must become a lion hearted girl
Ready for a fight
Before I make the final sacrifice
We raise it up, this offering
We raise it up
This is a gift, it comes with a price
Who is the lamb and who is the knife?
Midas is king and he holds me so tight
And turns me to gold in the sunlight
{The Women of Faerietale.}
12. kids | mgmt
You were a child
Crawling on your knees toward it
Making momma so proud
But your voice is too loud
We like to watch you laughing
You pick the insects off plants
No time to think of consequences
{Peter Pan and the Lost Boys}
13. hurt makes it beautiful | hugo
You don't know what beautiful is
Until I tell ya.
And you don't know what value is
Until I sell ya.
You don't feel what freedom does,
Until I jail ya.
And you don't know dedication
Until I fail ya.
I forgive you
Cause I love you,
That's why I cut you,
Just to heal you.
Just for the feel of you
{Red Riding to the Prince}
14. rootless | marina and the diamonds
Tracking my roots through the snow
No home sweet and no sweet home
I've got nowhere to go
I'm rootless, I'm rootless
{Snow White}
15. girls like you | the naked and the famous
And your heart, is a stone
Buried underneath your pretty clothes
Don’t you know people write songs about girls like you?
What will you do when something stops you?
What will you say to the world?
What will you be when it all comes crashing
Down on you little girl?
What would you do if you lost your beauty?
How would you deal with the light?
How would you feel if nobody chased you?
What if it happened tonight?
{Beauty is cursed}
16. forbidden friendship | john powell
[instrumental]
17. the wolves (act i and ii) | bon iver
Someday my pain
Someday my pain will mark you
Harness your blame
Harness your blame, walk through
With the wild wolves around you
In the morning, I'll call you
Send it farther on
{The Wolf to Beauty}
18. maybe i'm just tired } as tall as lions
If love comes your way
Don't be afraid
Unlock the box your heart's encased
Hope it won't change
{Dorothy and the Tin Man}
19. moon | sia
I watch you spin from afar
I drink you in and breath you out
I'm camouflaged by the timeline
I'm camouflaged when the sun shines
Two ships passing in the night
Two lips pressing ground the tides
{Wendy & Hook}
20. lost watch | seabear
I love the way
You say my name
It sounds different every day
I used to think
That I'd seen you walk way
Too many times
Now I know
You're here to stay
Now it's you and me who walk away
{Beauty & the Wolf}
21. islands | the xx
I don't have to leave anymore
What I have is right here
Spend my nights and days before
Searching the world for what's right here
Underneath and unexplored
Islands and cities I have looked
Here I saw
Something I couldn't overlook
{Wendy & Hook}
22. forget me not | the civil wars
Forget me not my dear, my darling
Forget me not my love
I'm coming home real soon
Please leave a light on for me
Tell me that you'll always be true
And you'll be the only one for me
{Wendy & Hook}
23. swim until you can't see land | frightened rabbit
Dip the toe in the ocean. Oh how it hardens and it numbs.
And the rest of me is a version of man
built to collapse into crumbs
And if I hadn’t come down
To the coast to disappear
I may have died in a land-slide
Of the rocks, the hopes and fears.
So swim until you can’t see land.
Swim until you can’t see land.
Swim until you can’t see land
Are you a man or are you a bag of sand?
{Mister Smee and the Mermaid}
24. wonderwall (remix) | oasis / inspired
Shut the gates at sunset
After that you can't get out
You can see the bigger picture
Find out what it's all about
You're open to the skyline
You won't want to go back home
In a garden full of angels
You will never be alone
But oh the road is long
The stones that you are walking on
Have gone
With the moonlight to guide you
Feel the joy of being alive
The day that you stop running
Is the day that you arrive
And the night that you got locked in
Was the time to decide
Stop chasing shadows
Just enjoy the ride
{Alice & Snow White}
25. life in the mountains | philip glass
[instrumental]
