028. what a lovely way to burn
or so the story goes
Twilight; Edward/Tanya
for anythingbutgrey. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEAR. EVEN THOUGH THIS IS MY FOURTH TWILIGHT MIX WTFWTFWTF.
I planned for this to be a ficmix, but the fic exploded on its own so I made a fic and a mix. Technically, I've been working on this for mooonths, adding and removing songs from time to time, but the idea finally came through at the last minute. Edward is Robert Pattinson and Tanya is Anne V (took me about three models to finally get her right!).
Anyway, I wanted this to sound sleazy and dark but also sexy and dream-like, in a way. Onto the mix:
01. broken social scene | her disappearing theme
instrumental
02. massive attack | dissolved girl
shame, such a shame / i think i kind of lost myself again / day, yesterday / really should be leaving but i stay / say, say my name / i need a little love to ease the pain / i need a little love to ease the pain / it's easy to remember when it came / 'cause it feels like i've been / i've been here before / you are not my savior / but i still don't go
03. portishead | numb
unable so lost / i can't find my way / been searching, but i have never seen / a turning, a turning from deceit / 'cause the child roses like / try to reveal what i could feel / i can't understand myself anymore / but i'm still feeling lonely / …a faithless path to roam / deceiving to breath this secretly / this silence, a silence i can't bear
04. radiohead | house of cards
i don't wanna be your friend / i just wanna be your lover / no matter how it ends / no matter how it starts / forget about your house of cards / and i'll do mine / forget about your house of cards / and i'll do mine / fall off the table / and get swept under / denial, denial
05. sneaker pimps | 6 underground (nellie hooper edit)
talk me down, safe and sound / too strung up to sleep / wear me out, scream and shout / swear my time's never cheap / i fake my life like i've lived / too much, i take whatever you're given / not enough / overground, watch this space / i'm open to falling from grace / calm me down, bring it round / too way high off your street / i can see like nothing else / in me you're better than i wanna be
06. tricky | overcome
you sure you want to be with me? / i've nothing to give / won't lie and say this loving's best / whoa, leave us in emotional peace / mmm, take a walk take a rest, a taste of this / don't wanna be on top of your list / monopoly improperly kissed / we overcome in sixty seconds the strength we had together / but for now, emotional ties they stay severed / and when there's trust there'll be treats / when we funk we'll hear beats
07. meiko | fever (ella fitzgerald cover)
sun lights up the daytime / moon lights up the night / i light up when you call my name / and you know i'm gonna treat you right / you give me fever when you kiss me / fever when you hold me tight / fever in the morning / fever all through the night / everybody's got the fever / that is something you all know / fever is such a nuisance / fever started long ago
08. tom mcrae | for the restless
and i keep my secrets well / move on and never tell / some day they'll show / and you raised me to be cruel / you raised me like a bruise / i'm bleeding still / so for the restless / not the peaceful sleeper / this song's for you / and for the faithless / not the true believer / this song's for you / she comes to me in dreams / a train wreck beauty queen / now i remember her / and everything you love will break / you're running out of things to make you / feel alive
bonus: the notwist | good lies
we'll remember good lies / when we carry them home / with us to our bedside table / and our coffee sets / we'll remember good lies / when they're always with us / in our beds, even when we shake our heads / let's just imitate the real / until we find a better one / let's just imitate the real / until we find a better one
individual songs | zip
The zip file doesn't include the bonus song, but there is an .xml file which you can import to iTunes and all the songs will be in order automatically. You have to import the songs to your library first, though.
Comments appreciated!
