Raise Hell Character Mixes
I'm not dead (just very busy and incredibly ill)! I've been working on the next chapter of Raise Hell when I'm not sleeping--which I seem to be doing tons of, lately. Still, it's been a while and I feel awful about that. To make it up to y'all, and hopefully tide you over, I'll post the character mixes I made forever ago here for your listening pleasure.
A couple quick notes about the mixes: 1) The tracks are meant to be reflective of the character's thoughts and feelings throughout the fic, from the beginning to the end--I'm not 100% pleased with the order in which I put the tracks, but I think it's an over-all decent job. 2) There are two tracks on Gabe's mix which lyrically don't have shit to do with the story's plot, which is why you won't see any lyrics listed beneath them. Still, I included them because thematically, they fit the sound and over-all mood of the mix(es), and seemed like the sort of thing Gabe would have on his iPod.
Enjoy!
Jimmy Reed||I Know It's A Sin
She’s stood and watched me
From the side
Oh, she hung her head and cried
But I know whoa-oh, it’s a sin
It’s a sin
Pistol Annies||(I Feel A) Sin Comin' On
Please Jesus don’t hold me back
I know it ain’t mine but I want it so bad
The smoke and the whiskey
Got me feeling easy
And after I’ll fade into black
Brandi Carlile||Raise Hell
I’ve been down with a broken heart
Since the day I learned to speak.
The devil gave me a crooked start
When he gave me crooked feet.
But Gabriel done came to me
And kissed me in my sleep,
And I’ll be singing like an angel
Until I’m six feet deep.
Jaydiohead||Wrong Prayer
Now when the rules is blurred, as they is, and were
What am I to do but pray, pray the Lord forgive me
Pray I survive what I’m about to go through
Pray
The Black Keys||Strange Desire
I don’t wanna go to hell,
But if I do,
It’ll be ‘cause of you,
And a young man’s,
Gonna make mistakes,
Till he hits the brakes,

My heart’s on fire,
With a strange desire
Soap & Skin||Me & the Devil
Me and the Devil
Walking side by side
And I’m gonna see my man
‘til I get satisfied
Mikky Ekko||We Must Be Killers
I woke up, I was stuck in a dream
You were there, you were tearing up everything
And we all know how to fake it baby
And we all know what we’ve done
We must be killers
Children of the wild ones
Killers
Where we got left to run?
Killer
MSMR||Dark Doo Wop
It’s all gone to shit, it’s out of our hands
Baby if you could’ve known, you’d have hatched a plan

*
If we’re gonna die, bury us alive
If they’re searching for us they’ll find us side by side
That’s my, that’s my man
The National||Fireproof
You’re fireproof

How’d you get so far?

You’re a needle in the hay
You’re the water at the door
You’re a million miles away
Doesn’t matter anymore
The Civil Wars||Devil's Backbone
Don’t care if he’s guilty, don’t care if he’s not
He’s good and he’s bad and he’s all that I’ve got

Don’t take that sinner from me
Oh don’t take that sinner from me
The Neighbourhood||Female Robbery
Had me on both my knees,
Praying to whatever is in heaven please send me a felon,
And don’t let the police know.
*
Anything, anything,
Don’t tell them anything,
Anything, please.
Yelawolf (feat. Ed Sheeran)||London Bridge
I’ll be coming up when the sun goes down
Rollin’ like a rock ’til I hit the ground
Running from the law but I can’t be found
Only my God can track me now
Mikky Ekko||Who Are You, Really?
So you’re feeling tied up to a sense of control
And make decisions that you think are your own
You are a stranger here, why have you come?
Why have you come, lift me higher, let me look at the sun

I watch your jaw drop open with an eager stare,
I’ll be your dream tonight,
Your wish has come to life,
Don’t wanna change my mind,
So don’t you take your time,
*
Whoa, the world ain’t ending, but it might as well be,
Whoa, I’ll rock you like the sea,
Buildings ain’t crumblin’, but they might as well be,
Whoa, so let’s not think and just,
*
Move like you stole it
The Black Keys||Sinister Kid
Your mother’s words
They’re ringing still
But your mother don’t
Pay our bills
*
A sinister kid is a kid who
Runs to meet his Maker
A drop dead sprint from the day he’s born
Straight into his Maker’s arms
And that’s me, that’s me
The boy with the broken halo
That’s me, that’s me
The devil won’t let me be
Jaylib||The Heist

Jaydiohead||Lucifer's Jigsaw

Stepped out the car, put my steel, to the side of his face
