mix: Star Trek Big Bang '11 - Beneath the Waters - Trust to Mend the Broken
Fandom: Star Trek AOS
Subject: ennyousai's fic, Beneath the Waters, written for startrekbigbang
Title: Trust to Mend the Broken
Notes: I love retellings of fairy tales, and ennyousai's was no exception. It's a beautiful love story that stretches from Earth to the far reaches of space. Go check it out, because it is really wonderful. I had such a fun time creating this mix. One line of the story really influenced the style of this mix. See if you can figure out which one it is.
Additionally alaria, who created beautiful artwork for the story created some gorgeous cover art based off of her equally beautiful banner, ensuring visual continuity and prettiness. Remember to go and drool over her beautiful art.
I also created my own covers, which you can find at the end of this post. All cover art is included in the download link. Click the song titles for individual download links.
Beneath the Waters: story by ennyousai | art by alaria
01 | Strangers // The Kinks
Where are you going, I don't mind
I've killed my world and I've killed my time
So where do I go, what do I see
I see many people coming after me
So where are you going to, I don't mind
If I live too long I'm afraid I'll die
So I will follow you wherever you go
If your offered hand is still open to me
Strangers on this road we are on
02 | So Far Away // Carole King
Long ago I reached for you and there you stood
Holding you again could only do me good
Oh, how I wish I could
But you're so far away
One more song about moving along the highway
Can't say much of anything that's new
If I could only work this life out my way
I'd rather spend it being close to you
03 | Let's Spend the Night Together // Rolling Stones
Don't you worry 'bout what's on your mind (Oh my)
I'm in no hurry I can take my time (Oh my)
I'm going red and my tongue's getting tied (tongues's getting tied)
I'm off my head and my mouth's getting dry.
I'm high, But I try, try, try (Oh my)
Let's spend the night together
Now I need you more than ever
Let's spend the night together now
04 | Touch Me // The Doors
Now, I'm gonna love you
Till the heavens stop the rain
I'm gonna love you
Till the stars fall from the sky for you and I
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Now touch me, baby
Can't you see that I am not afraid?
05 | 'Til Kingdom Come // Coldplay
The wheels just keep on turning,
The drummers begin to drum,
I don't know which way I'm going,
I don't know what I've become.
For you, I'd wait 'til kingdom come,
Until my days, my days are done.
Say you'll come and set me free,
Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me.
06 | How to Disappear Completely // Radiohead
I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here, I'm not here
In a little while
I'll be gone
07 | Within You Without You // The Beatles
We were talking-about the space between us all
And the people-who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion
Never glimpse the truth-then it's far too late-when they pass away.
We were talking-about the love we all could share-when we find it
08 | Sunshine of Your Love // Cream
I'll be with you darling soon,
I'll be with you when the stars start falling.
I've been waiting so long
To be where I'm going
In the sunshine of your love.
09 | Slow Pony Home // The Weepies
Four years or so ago, I rode a pony, called him "Truth"
We didn`t know the way so it took us till today to get here
10 | Dice // Finley Quaye & William Orbit
I was crying over you
I am smiling I think of you
Misty morning and water falls
Breathe in the air if you care, you compare, don't say farewell
Nothing can compare
To when you roll the dice and swear your love's for me
11 | Marching Band // Joe Brooks
It's me and you against the world now
Take my hand, let's find a marching band
That beats the rhythm of our hearts
We're the fire, the flames
They can't put out our faith, like oxygen
So breathe it in, be with me now
It's us against the world
12 | A Fond Farewell // Elliott Smith
I see you're leaving me
And taking up with the enemy
The cold comfort of the in-between
A little less than a human being
A little less than a happy high
13 | Take A Giant Step // The Monkees
Come with me, leave yesterday behind
And take a giant step outside your mind
You stare at me in disbelief
You say for you there's no relief
But I swear I'll prove you wrong
14 | Moth's Wings // Passion Pit
But you run away from me
And you left me shimmering
Like diamond wedding rings
Spinning dizzily down on the floor
15 | Love Burns // Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
And now it's all so clear somehow
Nothing really matters now
Now we're gone and on our way
Now she's gone love burns inside me
16 | If There's a Rocket Tie Me To It // Snow Patrol
And I knew the beat since it matched your own beat
I still remember it from our chest to chest and feet to feet
The easy silence then was a sweet relief to this hush
