So I missed by Big Bang posting date by a country mile, due both to RL and to the word-count spinning WILDLY out of control, but it's fiiiinally done and I'm posting it all this week. I did the fanmix myself, and I'm damn proud of it, I have to say. Will link to the main fic post page when it's up.
Notes: The art for this mix was made by my beautiful and talented
jou , thank you darling! Base for the art was taken from
Jessica Diamond's photostream on Flickr, with thanks and permission. ♥
Numb // U2
Don't move, Don't talk out of time, Don't think, Don't worry, Everything's just fine...Just fine
Don't grab, Don't clutch, Don't hope for too much, Don't breathe, Don't achieve
Or grieve without leave
He Doesn't Know Why // Fleet Foxes
Penniless and tired with your hair grown long
I was looking at you there, and your face looked wrong
Memory is a fickle siren song... I didn't understand
I Want You So Hard (The Boy's Bad News) // Eagles of Death Metal
I want you so hard, I want you so good
Oh can you trust me? Yeah you know you could
Our friends are talkin' and they're tellin' you:
"Leave him alone, 'cause the boy's bad news"
Crash (the '95 mix) // The Primitives
Here you go, way too fast-don't slow down, you're gonna crash
You should watch, watch your step, don't slow down, you're gonna break your neck
So shut, shut your mouth, 'cause I'm not listening anyhow
I've had enough, enough of you, enough to last a life-time through
Australia // The Shins
Dare to be one of us, girl,
Facing the android's conundrum,
I felt like I should just cry,
But nothing happens every time I take one on the chin
Ask // The Smiths
Shyness is nice, and shyness can stop you from doing all the things in life you'd like to
Shyness is nice, and shyness can stop you from doing all the things in life you'd like to
So if there's something you'd like to try, if there's something you'd like to try
Ask me, I won't say no, how could I?
Human Behavior // Bjork
If you ever get close to a human, and human behaviour
Be ready to get confused
There's definitely no logic to human behaviour
But yet so irresistible
Pool & Dive // The Replacements
Well I bet that you're gonna get wet
Even though we just met, I feel you coming alive
Take you to the pool and dive, take you to the pool and dive
Take you to the pool and dive show
The Twist // Frightened Rabbit
Did you blush then when our hips touched?
I can't tell, you are already red
Am I right? You give me the signs
Is that pink mist, or just lit dry ice
Wait // Huffamoose
Move back just a little, let me watch your hips sway
Hold me looser still, throw me like I'm wet clay
'Cause you're a feast I devour if you let me be the man of the hour
You got rhythm, I'm a cold shower
When My Boy Walks Down the Street // The Magnetic Fields
Butterflies turn into people when my boy walks down the street
Maybe he should be illegal he just makes life too complete...
Amazing he's a whole new form of life
Blue eyes blazing and he's going to be my wife
Just the Past // Peter Bjorn and John
Tell me, how do I get to know you?
You untie me as if I were a shoelace
You let out all I can hold between my buttons, but from you I get nothing
Sit Down // James
Now I'm relieved to hear that you've been to some far out places
It's hard to carry on, when you feel all alone
Now I've swung back down again, it's worse than it was before
If I hadn't seen such riches, I could live with being poor
Eyes as Candles // Passion Pit
I believed in you, so you believed in
Me, I cried out "God"
You dared me in the dark
I felt a hush fall quietly from my spark
so now I hide in piles of princely orange peels
It feels the way you told me how it'd always feel...
The Scientist // Coldplay
I was just guessing at numbers and figures
Pulling the puzzles apart
Questions of science, science and progress
Did not speak as loud as my heart
The Tower of Learning // Rufus Wainwright
All the sights of Paris
pale inside your iris
Tip the Eiffel Tower with one glance
Stained glass cathedrals with one glint
You smashed it with your eyes, what I'm looking for
One blink and then my heart wasn't there no more
Signal Fire // Snow Patrol
There you are, standing right in front of me
There you are, standing right in front of me
All this fear falls away to leave me naked
Hold me close, 'cause I need you to guide me to safety
I'll Believe in Anything // Wolf Parade
We've both been very brave, walk around with both legs
Wait for the scary day we both pull the tricks out of our sleeves
But I'll believe in anything if you'll believe in anything
Lovers in a Dangerous Time // Barenaked Ladies
When you're lovers in a dangerous time
Sometimes you're made to feel as if your love's a crime
Nothing worth having comes without some kind of fight
Got to kick at the darkness 'til it bleeds daylight
