boomerang BANG!
Woohooo I made it!!
For a while I thought I might failed the challenge.
So got my boomerangbang I got a story by Brittney and I have t say how thrill I was and I found out it was her story. Britt is an icon, at least for me, of the Hanson fandom..hehheh..I’ve been lurking on her website and stories for years and years…I bet I’m not the only one!
The story is named Under Dust Painted Skies, and it is one of her best work! You rock, girl!
And I’ve been so busy at work (I‘ve become coordinator! Yay!) and all of the sudden my work load triple! And I had already sign up for this, and then it was such a great story..and I made a huge effort to deliver this on time!! I was so caught up that I didn’t email the author or the artist.
I hope everybody enjoys my fanmix!! Specially you, Brittney!!
Most songs I choose for an specific verse or the melody or overall feel of it.
Well, here it goes…. Please pardon my taste for sugary pop/country songs! ;)

01. Rewind by Paolo Nutini
“
Why can't we just rewind
Why can't we just rewind
Why can't we just rewind
”
Zac’s agony of returning on that fateful day every night.
02. Superstar by Taylor Swift
“
You smile that beautiful smile
And all the girls in the front row scream your name
(…)
just another wide-eyed girl
Who's desperately in love with you
(…)
And I'm invisible and everyone knows who you are
And you'll never see you sing me to sleep
Every night from the radio
”
So many parts of this cute song could seems fitting of the psycho fan.
03. Vesper's Goodbye by Nick Jonas & The Administration
“
See it turning red
Like a bullet through the chest
Lay me down to rest
It's a lover's final breath
”
This description was too good to pass up, and I love Nick Jonas solo work.;)
04. Goodbye Innocence by L.E.O.
“
goodbye innocence
tell me when the world stopped makin sense..
..you went away
a rainy cloud has followed me around
so why do you have to go away so soon?
“
I think the lyrics on this one is pretty self explanatory.
05. Disturbia by Rihanna
“
It's a thief in the night to come and grab you
It can creep up inside you and consume you
A disease of the mind it can control you
It's too close for comfort
”
This song pop up in my head the very first time I read the summary. I was a little wary to include in the playlist since is doesn’t really matches the rest of the songs, but I think in the right order is not so bad.
06. Everlong by Foo Fighters
“
If everything could ever feel this real forever.
If anything could ever be this good again,
The only thing I'll ever ask of you.
”
This is the only song inserted in the story. It had to make the cut!
07. In My Head by Anna Nalick
“
Under the weight of your wings
You are a God and whatever I want you to be
And I wonder if truly you are nearly as beautiful as I believe
In my head
Your voice
You've got all that I need
And this make believe will get me through another lonely night
“
You know those best friends that sometimes one works as the consciousness of the other? This song to me is about that and remind me about Remy and Zac’s relationship.
08. Now That You're Gone by Ryan Adams
“
Everything you ever touched, the fingerprints like
Crime scene evidence undisturbed in dust
I don't dare touch anything of yours,
Because it's evidence of us
And it means everything
Well sort of
(…)
Now that you're gone
Now that you're gone...for good
”
I love absolutely everything by Ryan Adams and I knew that I wanted to pick something from him, I choose this song for the overall feel of it, and the title matches perfectly the status that Kate finds herself in the story.
09. Easy Silence by Dixie Chicks
“
And I come to find a refuge in the
Easy silence that you make for me
It's okay when there's nothing more to say to me
And the peaceful quiet you create for me
And the way you keep the world at bay for me
The way you keep the world at bay
”
Zac’s gratitude towards Remy’s understanding of his condition.
10. The Sun by Maroon 5
“
But I cannot forget
Refuse to regret
So glad I met you
Take my breath away
Make everyday
Worth all of the pain that I've gone through
”
I immediately thought of this song because of the series of paintings with the sun as theme.
11. Homeless Heart by Jennette McCurdy
“
When you're lost in the dark
When you're out in the cold
When you're lookin' for somethin' that resembles your soul
When the wind blows your house of cards
I'll be a home to your homeless heart
”
Remy song for Zac.
12. 3x5 by John Mayer
“
You'll be with me
Next time I go outside
No more 3x5's
(…)
Trying to fit the world inside a picture frame
”
Another song inspired by the paintings, it came to mind the verse “Trying to fit the world inside a picture frame”, but checking the lyrics and listening to the song again the other bit matches the story like a glove.
13. Crazy People by The Wreckers
“
Only crazy people
Fall in love with me
”
For Remy….hehehe
14. Hello World by Lady Antebellum
“
Hello World
How've you been
Good to see you, my old friend
Sometimes I feel, cold as steel
Broken like I'm never gonna heal
”
When I first thought of this song for the story it came up for the part where Zac leaves the house, but after a closer look of the lyrics I think it suits more Zac’s mood after the accident.
15. Tonight, Not Again by Jason Mraz
“
And I'm all alone again tonight not again, not again, not again.
”
Jason is an absolutely personal favorite(perhaps more than Hanson, please don’t kill me!) …and from so many songs to choose from I went with one of the favorites from the favorite.
16. 1963 by Rachael Yamagata
“
Baby you'll be on my mind 'til I kiss you next time
I find it to be magical
I feel like I'm loving you in 1963
”
After the kiss…
