Everybody don't want to be saved

Man, I spend a sort of ridiculous time on my fanmixes. I've been working on this one for months. Have to find songs that not only sound right to the subject for me, but also sound kind of okay together. There was one song, called "Angel-Land" where the lyrics started out something about how the singer isn't a Superman, and there was more about how

Fanmixes are fun. :D My problem is that I become obsessed with a single verse from a song the entirety of which doesn't quite fit, so I give up in a huff. Lately I've been bananas over the beginning of a Regina Spektor song that goes,
Somedays aren't yours at all,
They come and go
As if they're someone else's days
They come and leave you behind someone else's face
And it's harsher than yours
And colder than yours
They come in all quiet,
Sweep up, and then they leave
And you don't hear a single floor board creak
They're so much stronger
Than the friends you try to keep
By your side
...but the song as a whole doesn't suit any of my notions, heh. Totally gonna check out your mix when it's done. ^.^

Even tbe titles *are* kinda cool. Like flicking through chapter titles in a book I want to read.

erhdfhadfh I can't wait to see this finished. CAN. NOT. WAIT.

Also, I enjoy reading about your process for making them, because I am A GIANT NERD. When I make them I'm kind of the same way, seems like. I'm cool with it in others' mixes if they choose not to pay close attention to detail? But for my own I can't stand not fixing the data on mixes, or when the ~flow~ is off between songs, or something, adlfhnadfg. <3

...also I am totally looking up that Angel-land song because it sounds like it may or may not be exactly what I am looking for, for one of my own mixes? /hijacker

Also, I am not a random stalker, I am/was spades_fire I just have a new journal for geekery now, so. Yes. Hi. :D
