I Carry Your Heart With Me - A Kradam Fanmix

Sep 18, 2009 22:32

So this pretty much took me forever, and I've actually been thinking about it for weeks. Side A is the angst side and, unsurprisingly, has more songs than the happier side B. Side A is all about the separation right now and the belief that there were lost chances and missed opportunities this summer, so listeners beware. Side B, however, is a bit of a fail song wise because I ended up taking a couple from the same artist. I just couldn't really get into the happy vibe since it's the last official day Kradam are together and all, but Side B represents my dream future for them. It's optimism and happy endings and love.

I think it goes without saying that this is a mix meant to be tinhatted.

P.S. Ignore the art fail. I don't even own photoshop. Download link below track list.



SIDE A

If It Kills Me (Casa Nova Sessions) - Jason Mraz

Well, all I really want to do is love you
A kind much closer than friends use

But I still can't say it after all we've been through


And all I really want from you is to feel me

As the feeling inside keeps building

And I will find a way to you if it kills me, if it kills me

Well, how long can I go on like this, wishing to kiss you

Before I rightly explode

And this double life I lead isn't healthy for me in fact it makes me nervous

If I get caught I could be risking it all

Well, baby there's a lot that I miss in case I'm wrong

White Blank Page - Mumford and Sons

Can you lie next to her and give her your heart, your heart?
As well as your body, and can you lie next to her and confess your love, your love?
As well as your folly and can you kneel before the king and say ‘I’m clean’, ‘I’m Clean’?
But tell me now where was my fault, in loving you with my whole heart?
But tell me now where was my fault, in loving you with my whole heart?

You desired my attention but denied my affections, affections

West Coast - Coconut Records

And we both go together if one falls down

I talk out loud like you’re still around

And i miss you

I’m going back home to the west coast

I wish you woulda put yourself in my suitcase

I love you

Standin all alone in a black coat

I miss you

I’m goin back home to the west coast

Lady Luck - Stereophonics

We're falling now, can't make it stop
Our arms are open for the thing we want
But what we want just can't have
What could've been but the timing's bad
Don't cry cry baby now
You're my my Lady Luck

As Much As I Ever Could - City and Colour

Love of mine,
Won't you lay by my side,
And rest your weary eyes,
Before we're out of time,
Give me one last kiss,
For soon, such distance,
Will stretch between our lips,
Now the day's losing light.

Bring me your love, tonight.
Bring me your love, tonight.

No I am not where I belong,
So shine a light and guide me home.

Last of Days - A Fine Frenzy

The world carries on without you
But nothing remains the same
I'll be lost without you
Until the last of days

Bulletproof Weeks - Matt Nathanson

I'm talking to what's left of you

And watching what I say

Counting all the freckles on your perfect face

You open your window

And sit on your bed

Just waiting for right words to come

So what happened to bullet proof weeks in your arms

What happened to feelin' cheap radio songs

What happened to thinking the world was flat

What happened

Yeah what happened to that

Just Friends - Jason Reeves

Hey, what did you think I'd say?
You're everything that I ever wanted
And this kind of thing doesn't just come around
Every time you go looking for it

I don't wanna be just friends
That's something I can't understand
I don't wanna be just friends
Not now, not ever
Those two words are bullets in my chest
"just friends"

SIDE B

Please Forgive Me - David Gray

Please forgive me
If I act a little strange
For I know not what I do.
Feels like lightning running through my veins
Every time I look at you
Every time I look at you

Help me out here
All my words are falling short
And there's so much I want to say
Want to tell you just how good it feels
When you look at me that way
When you look at me that way

They Bring Me To You - Joshua Radin (Note: definitely my "Kradam on stage together" song)

Moon pours through the ceiling tonight
Embraces us tight
Shows me we're right for each other
And as we lie here and let the world fade away
The sunrise tries to end it while we try to stay

The rest of my life can't compare
to this night, whoa oh
And only the heartaches have given me sight, oh oh
They bring me to you, yeah yeah
They bring me to you, yeah yeah
They bring me to you, whoa oh
They bring me to you, yeah yeah

It's all about the first night and last,
Some people say
Well I love you so much more tonight,
More than yesterday

Can't get you out of my mind - Aqualung

A kiss is not just a kiss

A smile is more than a smile

Maybe we get together, maybe forever

Maybe just for a while

I've seen the look in your eyes

I've seen you wondering why

There's a center of gravity

Bring you near to me

Nearer all the time

Thought you'd never be mine

I thought I was wasting my time

Darling every I think of you

I can't believe it's true

That you're here by my side

All My Mistakes - The Avett Brothers

I made decisions some right and some wrong
And I let some love go I wish wasn't gone
These things and more I wish I had not done

But I can't go back
And I don't want to
'Cause all my mistakes
They brought me to you

I have some "friends" they don't know who I am
So I write quotations around the word friends
But I have a couple that have always been there for me

Be Mine - David Gray

From the very first moment I saw you
That's when I knew
All the dreams I held in my heart
Had suddenly come true
Knock me over, stone-cold sober
Not a think I could say or do
'Cos baby when I'm walking with you now
My eyes are so wide
Like you reached right into my head
And turned on the light inside
Turning on the light
Inside my mind, hey
Come on baby it's ok
Rainy, shiny, night or day
There's nothing in the way now
Don't you see?
Be mine! Be mine!

7 Keys - Aqualung

It wasn't open
But somehow you let yourself in
Closed off and broken
I never wanted to go there again.

I wasn't waiting
But you came at just the right time
Weary and wasted
I never knew I could feel so alive.

Darling believe
You're closer than anyone has even been
Oh baby don't leave me alone
I'm yours for eternity
You hold the seven keys to my soul.

The End - Jason Reeves

cause it's not over till it's over
every ending's a new beginning
one more chance to get it right
one more chance to get it wrong
its not over till it's over
sometime's nowhere leads to somewhere
and it all starts again
in the end

In the end I see it's all up to me
to figure out where I should be
im gonna find a way from here

Bonus Song: Forgot to add this one to Side B, and it kind of didn't fit in anyway. It's Sigur Ros' "Hoppipola", and every time I imagine a grand, romantic reunion between Kradam, the moment when things are right for them, this song is playing in the background.

Note: I've included two songs by Jason Reeves from his album The Magnificent Adventures of Heartache. I actually had a hard time narrowing it down to those two because pretty much the entire thing screams Kradam. Get your hands on a copy if you can (and if you can't find it, I'd be happy to get it to you).
