mix: built a home, for you, for me (until it disappeared) (dom/mal)
Medium. Film
Fandom. Inception
Subject. Dom Cobb/Mal Cobb
Title. Built A Home, For You, For Me (Until It Disappeared)
Notes. (POSSIBILITY OF SPOILERS FOR THE FILM AHEAD, BEWARE.) Ouch. These two, THESE TWO. They left me feeling achy and heartbroken and wanting more. What we see is that theirs is a relationship faded and discordant; once blissful, now characterized heavily by guilt and longing and nostalgia. I won't say too much more for fear of spoiling people who haven't seen the film yet, but basically, Marion and Leo were so completely compelling and magnificent in every respect that they had me invested in these two from the get-go. I don't know if this mix will make sense to anyone else quite the same way it does to me, because while some of these songs are lyrically pretty spot-on, others I picked for the general atmosphere and images they create. It's difficult to tell whether atmosphere and imagery will translate quite the same way from individual to individual but generally, I hope they will. Enjoy!
"You're waiting for a train, a train that will take you far away.
You know where you hope this train will take you, but you can't be sure.
But it doesn't matter, because we'll be together."
to build a home • the cinematic orchestra
tables and chairs worn by all of the dust / this is a place where i don't feel alone, this is a place where i feel at home / 'cause, i built a home, for you, for me / until it disappeared
empty house • air
(instrumental)
to the lighthouse • patrick wolf
i am sorry that you came to find / great, great minds against themselves conspire
death is a disease • clint mansell
(instrumental)
forever growing centipedes (la dolce vita remix) • the faint
we'll seal ourselves in a timeless web / if every second we make new futures, we'll see how long we can hide from death
climbing up the walls (fila brazilia remix) • radiohead
and either way you turn, i'll be there / open up your skull, i'll be there, climbing up the walls
halo (goldfrapp remix) • depeche mode
you wear guilt, like shackles on your feet / like a halo in reverse ... bring your chains, your lips of tragedy / and fall into my arms
reckoner (nosaj thing remix) • radiohead
because we separate like ripples on a blank shore / reckoner, take me with you
lovely head • goldfrapp
i fool myself to sleep and dream / nobody's there, no one but me / so cool, you're hardly there / why can't this be killing you / frankenstein would want your mind, you lovely head
the city surf • jamin winans
(instrumental)
where is my love? • cat power
where is my love? where is my love? / safe and warm, so close to me, in my arms finally / there is my love, there is my love / horses galloping, bring him here to me
gone away • my brightest diamond
far away you've gone, and left me here / so cold without you, so lonely dear / may, june, july, i count the time / every minute i go takes the smell of your clothes further away
winter: lux aeterna • kronos quartet
(instrumental)
signs (saycet remix) • bloc party
i could sleep forever these days, 'cause in my dreams i see you again / but this time fleshed out fuller faced, in your confirmation dress
bye bye mon amour • ludovico einaudi
(instrumental)

Comments are crack. I get all dizzy with glee over them so LEAVE 'EM. Also, posting this to tumblr as your own just ain't cool, man. Not that I'm assuming any of you would, but, you know. Just putting it out there.
