i actually have no idea o: it seems like a skins type song, though, doesn't it? ahhh both of those just fit so perfectly for bastogne/the lingering sweetness & angst of these boys. and the voxtrot was a last minute addition, BUT I THINK IT ADDED A SLIGHTLY HARSHER/MORE BOYISH EDGE that the mix kind of needed, since the rest is so soft & melancholy. asdjk i adore octoberman's music, but they must not be too well known because i can't find lyrics for their songs anywhere /dies. /CRYING. I WAS SURPRISED BY HOW ANGSTY THIS MIX ENDED UP. I THOUGHT YOU WOULD BE FLUFFIER, BOYS. WHAT ARE YOU DOING
( ... )
Lovely, beautiful mix. Funnily enough, I heard "Young Blood" a couple of days ago and thought to myself, "what a great song for Band of Brothers..." Hmm, you know what they say about great minds ;)
thank you so much! and ugh, yes, young blood totally reminded me of this pairing and is the whole reason i ended up with a mix for them =D enjoy the mix, bb! ♥
This is a gorgeous mix, absolutely gorgeous. I love the story you tell here (or the story that I see in my head with these tracks idk.) The use of "Dog Days" as a transition between life in the war and post-war life gave me chills. And that last song? My heart.
If this mix was a fic, I'd be getting it professionally printed and bound right now. As it stands, I will have to content myself with hugging my ipod. This is so lovely. (It makes me want to write them -- I can't think of a greater compliment, actually. I never thought I'd want to write them until now!)
wow, this is pretty much the most lovely comment ever! i totally had a story in mind with this mix/wanted them to be chronological and give that sense of events (and a love story!) SO I LOVE THAT THAT TOTALLY CAME ACROSS FOR YOU ♥ ahh (:
(AND WRITE THEM, WRITE THEM. they always deserve more love!) thank you so much for the lovely praise, bb!
So after having your mix on repeat for the past 24 hours (and showing no signs of stopping, oh wow) I did end up writing something. It in no way tries to tell the story you told here -- and I couldn't pull that off if I tried -- but I figured I ought to at least give you a link since this is what got me writing. So good. Anyway, no pressure to read it AT ALL but credit where credit's due (and also, any chance to reiterate how much I love this fanmix. I love it a lot. It's really great.)
Anyway! I posted it on my fic journal; it's called Leave it all.

one quick thing though, mix is gentle beats, not gentle push (:
