Fanmix: Stellar Dynamics [Dairine/Roshaun]

What Is This Feeling - Wicked Cast
What is this feeling,
So sudden and new?
I felt the moment
I laid eyes on you;
My pulse is rushing;
My head is reeling;
My face is flushing;
What is this feeling?
Fervid as a flame,
Does it have a name?
Yes! Loathing
Unadulterated loathing

ZOMG, FAVE SHIP. And I love some of the songs you've used! Vienna Teng, Enya, Vanessa Carlton (oh, so appropriate), this is just ♥

[araine]

:D Thank you! Enya was a last minute addition, and I waffled about Vanessa Carlton, so I'm glad that you liked them! I had to hold myself back from adding more Vienna Teng songs to the mix, though. I wanted one song per artist, but so many of her songs fit so well. But as I could write essays on how perfect Eric's Song is for those two, it got the feature.

[borg_princess]

Haha, that's intriguing that the ones I like best were the ones you hadn't initially thought to include! Can't wait to listen to the ones I haven't heard before. *bounces*

ARGH, I WANT THE DAIRINE/ROSHAUN BOOK NOOOOOW. *pouts and stamps foot*

And ugh, Eric's Song is just so epic and perfectly suited, I can't even. *heart!splodes*

PS. I'm glad you changed the redhead from Karen Gillian. I associate her with DW too strongly, it's nice to have an unfamiliar face that I can see as Dairine instead of having a conflicting personality overlaid.

[araine]

Yes indeed! Vanessa Carlton was mostly because I was vacillating between it and another song. Enya almost didn't get included because... I didn't think of that song. orz. I hope you like the rest of the songs!

I AM FAIRLY IMPATIENT MYSELF.

Yeah, I changed from Karen Gillan cause of DW. Back months ago when I made the covers for the fanmix I laid them out, and needed someone to be Dairine, so I pulled Karen Gillan, because I had plenty of pictures available, and, well, she is a plucky redhead who travels through space. But once I began to seriously consider uploading I decided to find a new model.

THIS LOOKS EPIC.

Thank you!

So, apparently listening to music that is NOT in French does not actually help with French homework. But this is still awesome! There are some seriously brilliant songs on here -- some that I have never heard before but are so them (Sink or Swim! Walls! In my brain I am still going GAH YOU FOUND A SONG FOR THAT QUOTE YOU ARE AWESOME), and some that I had heard before and never connected to them (hello, Eric's Song, OBVIOUSLY PERFECT; also, where in the world did you find that cover of Beauty and the Beast, because it is EPIC

[araine]

Haha you are asking me about my ~craft~ in creating this fanmix. This might turn out rather lengthy.

Walls completely surprised me (most of these songs completely surprised me, actually, I really didn't go into this with any sort of a plan.), but as soon as I heard that first line, I had to add it. Sink or Swim was much the same way.

The cover of Beauty and the Beast I found on another fanmix. My first through upon hearing it was, "Ahahaa it's a hipster modal jazz version of Beauty and the Beast". Cause, uhh, I could see them (either of them) listening to modal jazz. (Especially in Dairine's upcoming hipster teen years, you know it's gonna happen.)The strongest Vienna Teng contender was Gravity, which probably would have gone along with a quote about Roshaun's people, although I also gave a lot of consideration to Momentum and Transcontinental 1:30 AM. Other than that, I don't remember? I think I listened through most of my Vienna Teng library while looking for songs

[readingredhead]

My reply shall not be able to do justice to your epic comment of awesome, because I am (supposed to be) working on my thesis, but OF COURSE Dairine is going to become a hipster. (Which makes me laugh even more at the line in "Walls" about skinny jeans, because, YES

russian's hipsters rule the world)

[araine]

THIS IS SO BOSS.

You did a beautiful job putting this together. I'm especially fond of the font you chose to use in the quotes; it suits them well.

[araine]

Thank you! The font for most of the mix is Narkisim, and the fancy font is Hawaii Killer. They have such a gorgeous look together.
