fanmix: tennis: wimbledon 2009 final
I started this the day after the 2009 Wimbledon final, a little less than two weeks later I'm satisfied with it. The songs mostly focus on Andy and the aftermath but not all of them (especially Dream On by Aerosmith, I've wanted to put that on a Roger fanmix forever). It's bittersweet but making it was definitely theraputic.

01. losing touch - the killers
you console me in my darkest hour
and tell me that you always hear my cries
i wonder what you got conspired
i'm sure it was the consolation prize
02. best of you - foo fighters
i was too weak to give in
too strong to lose
03. the sound of settling - death cab for cutie
i've got a hunger
twisting my stomach into knots
that my tongue has tied off
04. tiny little fractures - snow patrol
is there a place I can go
is there a light to get me there
if i've forgotten what to say
it's because all words are dust
05. battle for the sun - placebo
i will brush off all the dirt
and i will pretend it didn’t hurt
06. map of the problematique - muse
life
will flash before my eyes
so scattered and lost
07. andy, you're a star - the killers
on the field i remember you were incredible
hey shut up, hey shut up, yeah
08. dream on - aerosmith
half my life is in books written pages
live and learn from fools and from sages
you know its true
all the things come back to you
09. square one - coldplay
under the surface trying to break through
deciphering the codes in you
i need a compass, draw me a map
10. falling down - muse
i’m falling down
and fifteen thousand people scream
they were all begging for your dream
11. not your year - the weepies
breathe through it, write a list of desires
make a toast, make a wish, slash some tires
paint a heart repeating, beating "don't give up, don't give up, don't give up"
12. i'm a broken heart - the bird and the bees
all, all of our moments
have just become ailments
i'm haunted all of every day
13. everything's not lost - coldplay
when you thought that it was over
you could feel it all around
and everybody's out to get you
don't you let it drag you down
14. ask me how i am - snow patrol
has nobody asked you how you are?
you look like you might not last the day
15. the beginning after the end - stars
will we wake in the morning and know what it was for
up in our bedroom after the war?
