mix: eyes wide open
8 tracks - including Belle & Sebastian, Iron & Wine, The New Pornographers, & five more.
The third of my holiday gift mixes--this is for zachmanroolz! As you have probably gathered, it's a combination of songs that, in my opinion, are great to be listened to at dusk--that time of the day when all is calm, you're lying on your bed, and the sun is dipping below the horizon. Lyrically, it isn't focusing on any main theme. It's more of a mix by sound.
001. i will follow you into the dark - death cab for cutie
if heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied / illuminate the
no's on their vacancy signs / if there's no one beside when your soul
embarks / i will follow you into the dark
002. piazza, new york catcher - belle & sebastian
the sun upon the roof in winter will draw you out like a flower / meet
you at the statue in an hour
003. naked as we came - iron & wine
eyes wide open / naked as we came / one will spread our / ashes
round the yard
004. down - jason walker (.m4a)
i shot for the sky / i'm stuck on the ground / so why do i try? / i know
i'm gonna fall down
005. vcr - the xx
you used to have all the answers / and you, you still have them too
006. valkyrie in the roller disco - the new pornographers
valkyrie, don't go home / it's not right, not right / leave with the lights
up / it's half for me, half for love / you're a gold mine, gold mine
007. home - edward sharpe & the magnetic zeros
home, let me go home / home is wherever i'm with you
008. the re-arranger - mates of state (.m4a)
i know it's impossible / but you should try to shake it off
