I fell into the moon, and it covered you in blue - I fell into the moon and can I make it right?
Well, it took me 6 months of extra fiddling because I'm super anal-retentive about my soundtracks (see: the Brokeback Mountain soundtrack that I can never bear to make cover art for), but here it is. My unofficial (but clearly the awesomest) soundtrack for the second season of Veronica Mars.
NOTES ON THE SOUNDTRACK (or, allow me to rain on your parade):
1. I am not going to re-upload these songs. Ever. I'm sorry, but I'm applying to college. I'm taking two AP courses. I can barely manage to finish a soundtrack, let alone spending time uploading all the songs everyone asks. There are lots of great music requesting communities you can try to find these songs in and re-create this playlist if you really, desperately want.
2. Do not ask for a .zip file. I hate .zip files - I hate making them, I hate downloading them, I hate everything about them. The answer to asking if I will make a .zip is NO NO NO NO A MILLION TIMES NO.
01. troubled times - fountains of wayne || 2.01 - normal is the watchword
you think you've found something worth holding on to
but you're reaching for attention, hoping she would notice you
collecting bottles and throwing away cans
like she was returnable and one day would refill your hands
how she loved you
all you imagined fit so well into your plans
maybe one day soon it'll all come out
how you dream about each other sometimes
with the memory of how you once gave up
but you made it through the troubled times
02. speeding cars - imogen heap || 2.02 - driver's ed
there, there, baby, it's just text book stuff
it's in the abc's of growing up
there now darling, oh, don't lose your head
because none of us were angels and you know i love you
sleeping pills, no sleeping dogs lie
never far enough away
glistening in the cold sweat of guilt
i've watched you slowly winding down for years
and you can't keep on like this - now is as bad of time as any
03. camera one - josh joplin || 2.03 - cheatty cheatty bang bang
the sandy-haired son of hollywood lost his faith in all that's good
closed the curtain, unplugged the clock, hung his clothes on the shower rod
but he never got undressed, and no, he never made a mess
it's funny how life turns out - the odds of faith in the face of doubt
camera one closes in - the soundtrack starts, the scene begins
and you're playing you now, so take a bow
04. slowset - bell x1 || 2.05 - blast from the past
so she asked me to dance, and i did but i wasn't able
oh, where to put your hands when there's so much food on the table
slowset is dead, no more love on the dance floor
unless you're out of your head, that's all that we went for
what do you say when she's in your arms and you're going round in those circles?
when both of you know that you've risen to the occasion?
05. save me - jem || 2.08 - ahoy, mateys!
and none of these thoughts are real
so why is it that i feel so cut up and so bad
i need to take control because my mind is on a roll
and it isn't listening to me
so save me (from thinking and thinking)
save me (from thinking, thinking)
mirror mirror on the wall, who's the dumbest of them all?
insecurities keep growing, wasted energies are flowing
anger, pain and sadness beckon, panic sets in in a second
but be aware it's just your mind and you can stop it anytime
so save me (from thiking, thinking)
save me (thinking, thinking)
okay, so here we go, and if it works, i'll let you know
one, two, three, i say stop
06. light switch - jamie wyatt || 2.09 - my mother the fiend
i hear your words so sweet, secure and flattering
i stare into the sea, as your waves crash over me
almost upon the shore, your words don't flatter anymore
and sometimes i can't find the light switch
sometimes i'd rather dwell in the darkness
sometimes i'm better off alone - sometimes has become my home
07. daughters of the soho riots - the national || 2.11 - donut run
ihave your good clothes in the car, so cut your hair so no one knows
i have your dreams and your teeth marks and all my fingernails are painted
i'm here to take you now
and you were right about the end - it didn't make a difference
everything i can remember, i remember wrong
how can anybody know how they got to be this way?
you must have known i'd do this someday;
break my arms around the one i love and be forgiven by the time my lover comes
08. believe - ozomatli || 2.12 - rashard and wallace go to white castle
the winds are rushing, men and women are lusting
how long do we got a break?
it just depends on weather rams will say gems like
'right becomes wrong, wrong becomes right"
we fight for life - while the breeze blows swift
every day i get than a bigger box wrapped for christmas
so say why do i spin my storytelling
you saw me alone with mikes, just talkin' bout life
and, you know, just shooting the breeze
now i'll mumble to you people about the birds and the bees
and the war overseas and how they're killin' our trees
and how there won't be nothing left if we ain't got belief
so cada-cada día yo veo la destruccion,
cada-cada día yo veo la maldicion
this is this is my world, this is this is your world,
if you believe in my heart
09. my mathematical mind - spoon || 2.15 - the quick and the wed
i want to change your ways
i said i'm gonna get it right one of these days
and i'm looking through you, riding the brakes
and bringing about the apocalypse is not considered cool
and you go setting it up
you never give it a thought, just go setting it up
and my mathematical mind can see the brakes
and i say i'm gonna stop riding the brakes
i'm gonna see, yeah i'm gonna see the stakes
10. blue - angie hart || 2.18 - i am god
night falls, i fall
and where were you? where were you?
warm skin, wolf grin, and where were you?
i fell into the moon and it covered you in blue
i fell into the moon, and can i make it right?
can I spend the night?
it's high tide inside
the air is dew, and where were you?
wild eyed, i died, and where were you?
i crawled out of the world when you said i shouldn't stay
i crawled out of the world
but can i make it right?
can I spend the night alone?
11. wreck of the day - anna nalick || 2.20 - look who's stalking now
driving away from the wreck of the day
and the light's always red in the rear view
desperately close to a coffin of hope,
i'd cheat destiny just to be near you
if this is giving up, then i'm giving up
if this is giving up, then i'm giving up, giving up on love
driving away from the wreck of the day and I'm thinking about calling on jesus
because love doesnt hurt so i know i'm not falling in love -
i'm just falling to pieces
and if this is giving up then I'm giving up
if this is giving up then i'm giving up, giving up
on love, on love
and maybe i'm not up for being a victim of love
and all my resistance will never be distance enough
12. x amount of words - blue october || 2.21 - happy go lucky
and i'm sick of shaking, never waking from the hell i achieve
i never knew you till you left me with the crying disease
another curing reasurring way to buckle the knees
so mistreated, i repeated never blessing your sneeze
now deleted and defeated i will stand on my own
yeah, your memory that punches me has broken the bone
give me recipies for sorry - i'm admitting i'm wrong
still your memory that punches me has broken the bone.
oh, we're recording you (and i only want to see)
oh, we're recording you (and i can't believe, believe)
13. maybe tomorrow - stereophonics || 2.22 - not pictured
i look around at a beautiful life
and i've been the upper side of down, i've been the inside of out
but we breathe, oh we breathe
i want to breeze and an open mind
i want to swim in the ocean, want to take my time for me
all for me
so maybe tomorrow, i'll find my way home
yeah, maybe tomorrow, i'll find my way home
14. your hand in mine (goodbye) - explosions in the sky || finale
