I will still be here when the dust has cleared - will you?
This was supposed to be an explicitly Heroes mix, but I couldn't quite get it work. A story began to emerge, so think of it as a little bit Heroes, a bit superhero-related comics/films and again, a little bit crack.

INTRO
the simpsons | save me superman!
david bowie | heroes
we can beat them for ever and ever
oh, we can be heroes, just for one day.
BEGINNINGS
bob dylan | the times they are a-changin' (unplugged)
the line it is drawn
the curse it is cast
the slow one now
will later be fast
as the present now
will later be past
the order is
rapidly fadin'.
the arcade fire | wake up
we're just a million little god's causin rain storms
turnin' every good thing to rust.
i guess we'll just have to adjust.
the beatles | revolution
you tell me that it's evolution
well, you know
we all want to change the world.
SOLIDARITY, YO
ben lee | we're all in this together
ask a scientist
its quantum physics
we're all in this together
and on the subway
we feel like strangers
but we're all in this together.
oasis | live forever
maybe i will never be
all the things that i want to be
but now is not the time to cry
now's the time to find out why
i think you're the same as me
we see things they'll never see.
PROTECT & SERVE
clap your hands say yeah | the details of the war
be careful with the details of the war.
dar williams | the great unknown
they said, "don't be alarmed, just don't try this at home"
and they were the mystery that made the world run
and we had the power, 'cause they were the sun
and we called them our heroes, and the future had come
they said, "look at the light we're giving you
and the darkness we're saving you from."
clap your hands say yeah | upon this tidal wave of young blood
there is danger in the night
there are things we can't control but
will we give ourselves a fright
when we become less than human?
TRY & TRY AGAIN/SHIT HITS THE FAN
red hot chili peppers | save the population
i put my cards upon the table
i do this because i am able
[...]
stay all night, we'll save the population.
bloc party | pioneers
if it can be broke then it can be fixed
if it can be fused then it can be split
it's all under control
if it can be lost then it can be won
if it can be touched then it can be turned
all you need is time
we promised the world we'd tame it
what were we hoping for?
[...]
ambition, tearing out the heart of you
carving lines into you
dripping down the sides of you
we will not be the last.
red hot chili peppers | fortune faded
you took the town by storm
now the mess you made is nominated
now put away your welcome
soon you'll find you've overstayed it
(hey now, every time i lose).
jill sobule | heroes (live)
why are all our heroes so imperfect?
why do they always bring me down?
FAILURE
bob dylan | a hard rain's a-gonna fall
but i'll know my song well before i start singin'.
dashboard confessional | the good fight
the martyr is meaningless
the campaign has died
in the planning stages and the fallen faces
are the singular proof that it was ever alive.
tom mcrae | end of the world news (dose me up)
and now you're searching, for a sign with your name
to define you the king of the game
what will you do when there's nothing left
for you to earn and for you to learn?
the postal service | we will become silhouettes
i stay indoors
because the air outside will make our cells
divide at an alarming rate until our shells
simply cannot hold all our insides in
and that's when we'll explode
(and it won't be a pretty sight).
HOPE
tom mcrae | stronger than dirt
and i will still be here
when the dust has cleared
will you?
(you will never get close to me
this is who we are).
BONUS
the fullerenes | superpowers
"great scott!"
the news reporters exclaim
as she saves another kitten
from a night in the rain
laws of quantum physics
slowly bend to her will
advanced mechanics
thermodynamics
easier still
once played the lotto
she won.
random notes: I've been DYING to use David Bowie's "Heroes" in this sort of mix for ages - I can't believe I haven't seen other fanmixes use it. No apologies for using "Wake Up" in this and the Sylar mix; it's a freakin' excellent, "whoa, superpowers!" realisation song. "We're In This Together" might just be on the bad side of perky 'n' twee. Personally, I fucking adore the part from "Details Of The War" to "Fortune Faded".
Edit: Now with added cover "art"! MS Paint FTW! Man, that fuschia(?) lettering is more godawful than I thought.
Comments/criticisms would be fab. (But not on the art, I know that's half-arsed crap. I did it.)
