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

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=XF16BQ8I 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.
http://www.sendspace.com/file/qnrjl6 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).
