ZERO SUM: every night, doctor, every night we have bad dreams. fanmix + drabble
pairing: 10/simm!master post LotL.
warning: spoilers for all aired episodes and trailers.
The mood of this mix is mainly slowish and muted, in a creepy kind of way. After all, the Doctor's just had the ground pulled out from underneath him in Waters of Mars and the Master ... well, the issues there are obvious. As RTD says, both are racing to save themselves from death and their fates, once again, are intertwined. Creepy and conflicted ... it's pretty much a given.
& ZIP (sendspace) If you would like any individual songs, let me know and I will upload them.
All comments are very much appreciated :).
01. time code | bright eyes
death data entry, ant hill law
encoded arc, our common cause
drink liquid clocks til I see god
crystal display, can't turn it off
shhhh ... don't talk don't talk don't --
"I win."
02. the beginning is the end is the beginning | smashing pumpkins
(delivered from the blast, the last of a line of lasts)
time has stopped before us
the sky cannot ignore us
no one can separate us
for we are all that is left
"How did it feel, two almighty civilisations burning? You must have felt like God."
-
"I'm a survivor. And the laws of time are mine."
03. shade of blue | black rebel motorcycle club
now I'm patient, now I know I'll last, I'll last
I've always known my heart's been held by you
always known it's true
I don't care if you can take it
I can't take it anymore, I'll die
"Someone told me I was going to die. They said, he will knock four times.
And I think I know what that means and it doesn't mean right here right now."
04. we own the sky | m83
we kill what we build, because we own the sky
secrets from the winds and burnt stars crying
so many moons here, lost wings floating
it's coming now
it's coming now
"He's desperate, he's raging against the dying of the light."
05. clubbed to death | rob dougan
instrumental
"Your song is ending."
o6. skip divided | thom yorke
I tried to look -- I know every trick in the book
but how come I look?
no more common dress or elliptical caress
don't look into your eyes
'cause I'm desperately in love
when you walk in the room everything disappears
"Promise me you'll find someone, Doctor.
Sometimes I think you need someone to stop you."
07. climbing up the walls | radiohead
it's always best when the candle's out
I am the pick in the ice
do not cry out or hit the alarm
you know we're friends til we die
either way you turn, I'll be there
open up your skull, I'll be there
climbing up the walls
"That man is dead."
08. in this twilight | nine inch nails
and the sky is filled with light
can you see it?
all the black is really white
if you believe it
as your time is running out
let me take away your doubt
"Y O U A R E N O T A L O N E."
09. the last day on earth | kate miller heidke
in my dreams
in my dreams
it's the end of the world
and you've come back to me
between the dust and the debris
there's a light surrounding you and me
A double heartbeat out of sync and so so weak, like the fluttering wings of a dying bird. One final,
shuddering inhalation and you're clutching his hand so tight you're drawing blood. And suddenly, in a
flare of white, your synapses spark and there is the memory of this scene inverted, of you kneeling over him,
of his eyes closing, of the sheer force of your panic tearing open a black hole inside your chest. You freeze the
memory and replay it, feeding it back to him through an endless telepathic loop and his eyes widen with
new and remembered pain and maybe also the beginnings of a cold fear, unfurling in the space
between his right heart and his left.
Your mouth curves upward and you breathe out, whispering I win into empty space, before your hearts
give one last, painful double-thump and you are lost, melting into the gold light.
