|The Boom and Swell, a Lost fanmix

Jul 17, 2011 12:53

Fandom: Lost
Subject: general
Notes: For jjverse. Unfortunatly, I don't have go-to songs for any of the JJ fandoms so it took me awhile to come up with a theme and then come up with songs. What I ended up with was a very general Lost fanmix based mostly on the situations the characters find themselves in. A lot of this is ocean related because one of my favorite things about the show is the setting and how the ocean is unpredictable and can represent many emotions.

I have a back cover with song titles on it here but I'm not feeling it.

Björk
"Wanderlust" (recording from Voltaic)
I have lost my origin
And I don't want to find it again
Whether sailing into nature's laws
And be held by ocean's paws

Wanderlust! relentlessly craving
Wanderlust! peel off the layers
Until we get to the core

The Deadly Syndrome
"Wolves in the Garden"
All that's left to see is
What kind of flowers we'll become
I'm sure we'll be the kind
That bring children out into the sun

Okkervil River
"Lost Coastlines"
...but we find that the maps he sent to us
don't mention lost coastlines.
Where nothing we've actually seen has been mapped or outlined
and we don't recognize the names upon strange signs.

And every night finds us rocking and rolling on waves wild and wide,
well we have lost our way, nobody's gonna say it outright.

The Decemberists
"Oceanside"
But oh, if I could only get you oceanside
To lay your muscles wide
It'd be heavenly
And oh, if I could only coax you overboard
To leave these lolling shores
To get you oceanside

Shearwater
"Meridian"
And over the ocean
winging low
I saw the first wave
and the flares that fall
like fireflies
on the islands

In the boom and swell
from the waves to the heights
reverberations
of our old lives

|06|
Wolf Parade
"Dear Sons and Daughters of Hungry Ghosts"
I got a hand
So I got a fist
So I got a plan
It's the best that I can do
Now we'll say it's in God's hands
But God doesn't always have the best goddamn plans, does he?

Wild Beasts
"The Devil's Crayon"
We are so many tiny pieces
...
and we are so many clambering hands
...
We are so much moulded dough

|08|
The Horrors
"Sea Within a Sea"
Marching to the sea
their dreams stay in the shadows
their dreams stay firmly rooted in the shallows
See the scraping sky
See my destination there tonight

The Decemberists
"From My Own True Love (Lost At Sea)"
Four score years
Living down in this rain swept town
Sea salt tears
Swimming around as the rain comes down

Mr. Postman, do you have a letter for me?
Mr. Postman, do you have a letter for me?
A letter for me
From my own true love
Lost at sea

Iron & Wine
"Resurrection Fern"
In our days we will live
Like our ghosts will live
...
In our days we will say
What our ghosts will say:
We gave the world what it saw fit
And what'd we get?
