mix: turn on me (glee - rachel/jesse)
Includes: 8 tracks - The Shins, Bon Iver, The National, Arcade Fire & 4 more. (y'know, if you can't already see it in the preview *headdesk*)
One of the many playlists I've made for these two. I'm addicted to them, seriously (they have awakened my muse). They also need moar fanmixes. There's a little blurb for the mix under the cut, but the basis of the mix is around my firm belief that they'll meet up on Broadway in the future. (:
I know I keep on returning to bands like Radiohead & The XX for my mixes, but they're just too good. :D Also, I hate spelling things out for people with mixes, since I feel it takes the meaning away from the songs, but I'd just like to say that it's set somewhere in the future, where Rachel's left everything (Lima, William McKinley) behind for Broadway, Jesse's matured a bit, and they meet somewhere in the middle. It's full of regret & maybe something they can't quite let go of, and maybe I should just write fic? *am in the midst of a bajillion* Woah, I started off sounding all eloquent, and now I've resorted to this. Ah well, on with the mix!
001. turn on me | the shins
And the tears will never mend,
'Cause you had it in for me so long ago.
(...)
If you'd only seen yourself hating me.
Hating me,
When I've been so much more than fair.
But then you'd have to lay those feelings bare,
one thing I know still got you scared,
yeah all that cold ire
002. subterranean homesick alien | radiohead
The breath of the morning
I keep forgetting the smell of the warm summer air
I live in a town where you can't smell a thing
You watch your feet for cracks in the pavement
003. the rip | portishead
As she walks in the room
Scented and tall
Hesitating once more
And as I take on myself
And the bitterness I felt
I realise that love flows
004. mistaken for strangers | the national
You get mistaken for strangers by your own friends
when you pass them at night under the silvery, silvery citibank lights
(...)
surprise, surprise they wouldn't wannna watch
another uninnocent, elegant fall into the unmagnificent lives of adults
005. infinity | the xx
Your leaving had no goodbye
Had I just seen one in your eyes
I can't give it up
To someone elses touch
Because I care too much
006. skinny love | bon iver
Come on skinny love just last the year
Pour a little salt we were never here
007. wake up | arcade fire
Something filled up
My heart with nothing
Someone told me not to cry
But now that I'm older
My heart's colder
And I can see that it's a lie
008. the scientist | coldplay
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard
I'm going back to the start
&hope you all enjoy!
→ notes;
* it was so hard to cut the lyrics of 'Turn On Me' down to a few lines - it's so perfect for aspects of their relationship! (in my opinion, anyway.)
* comments would be amazing. (:
