> Toon: Post playlist already.
(Hi all! Been lurking here for a while, first time posting.)
Too long and nonspecific to be a fanmix, this is my Homestuck playlist. Some of these have very specific canonical associations in my head, with particular events or characters or relationships; others just struck me as fitting somehow. (The last one may not be immediately obvious, as it's in Hebrew, but the fact that the title is "Zodiak" may be a hint. :D If people are interested I can post a translation of the lyrics.)
Songs appear in alphabetical order by title below the cut, and are individually downloadable here.
homestuck: a playlist
4 Minutes (Madonna ft. Justin Timberlake and Timbaland)
time is waiting
we only got four minutes to save the world
Adam In Chains (Billy Idol)
if you have any thoughts, just let them drift through your mind. like beautiful clouds across a clear blue sky. just through your mind and away from you. through your mind and away.
...
ah, tear it all apart
i know the shape of things to come
why this now girl
will we murder each other
All Fall Down (OneRepublic)
lost till you're found, swim till you drown
know that we all fall down
love till you hate, strong till you break
know that we all fall down
if ever your world starts crashing down
whenever your world starts crashing down
if ever your world starts crashing down
that's when you'll find me
Ammunition (Switchfoot)
blame it on what you've been through
blame it on what you're into
...
i have no generation
show me my motivation
one world one desperation
one hope and one salvation
Ana Ng (They Might Be Giants)
and it sticks like a broken record
everything sticks like a broken record
everything sticks until it goes away
and the truth is we don't know anything
And The Band Played On (Simple Minds)
spirits of the city
were calling out my name
when jealous guys break down and cry
they got themselves to blame
if the bombs don't get you
take courage in the night
all those dreams inside your head
you've got to get it right
Annwn (Nancy Louise Freeman)
i went down to the station
i asked the station master there
he said, the only train out of annwn
goes straight back to nowhere
i've gotta get out of annwn
i've gotta get out of annwn
i've gotta get out of annwn
real soon
and when the whistle-dogs are howling
on down that lonesome track
the only train out of nowhere
is the train that brings you back
i've gotta get out of annwn...
Are You Sleeping (November Project)
where do we go beginning here
or anywhere
you circle back where you began
to find me there
are you sleeping
am i the only one awake
cause i fear you are a thousand miles away
are you sleeping
do you remember where we've been
will we end up finding somewhere to begin
Because I'm Awesome (The Dollyrots)
i'm a leader
i'm a winner
and i'm cleaner
cause i'm awesome
i don't need you
cause i'm neato
and i beat you
cause i'm awesome
Black Knight's Work (Cats Laughing)
black blood and risky business
high affairs that never see the sun
cold steel and loaded pistols
someone's got to see the work gets done
when the black knight moves, you can taste the trouble in the air
you can hear the city talking like it doesn't care
between the darkness and the light, somebody's will gets done tonight
before the black knight moves again, you better not be there
Bones (Little Big Town)
what goes around comes around
feel it breathing down
heavy on you
you made that bed you're laying on
deeds that you have done
now you can't undo
Brave As A Noun (Andrew Jackson Jihad)
i could go off the deep end
i can kill all my best friends
i can follow those stylish trends
god knows i can make amends
but i've got an angry heart
filled with cancer and puppy tarts
if this is how you folks make art, it's f***ing depressing
Crows (The Gothic Archies)
it gets dark around here early
because of all the crows
what they want and where they came from
no one really knows
crows are sour and surly
with reason, i suppose
there are crows, crows, crows in the trees
saying crow things, doing as they please
Damaged Senses (Jesse Dangerously)
...an eight digit code identifies me as non-partisan
friendly enough but essentially a solo artisan
my style is hard, as in extremely difficult to master
i developed it in the bassment of critical, the bastard
son of convention and dissention, a confusing developmental
process, at once inventing and fusing elemental concepts...
Dream Awake (The Frames)
there's a point to all this dreaming
to every man his just deserts
and every time i caught you leaving
i had to dream awake
...
there's a fight we're not conceding
the words get mixed and the point is lost
we had to dream awake
we had to dream awake
so take us under now
take us under now
A Fire Is Burning (Oysterband)
we were young together, we were on the ball
we did not believe in the writing on the wall
we did our best work in the dark, we did our thinking on the run
we would hang together or they'd hang us one by one
Fly or Die (N.E.R.D.)
this is for the kids!
this is only for the kids!
Freakshow (The Gothic Archies)
people gawk at the way you walk
you're a freakshow
people squawk 'bout the way you talk
you're a freakshow
people stare at your scary hair
you're a freakshow
people glare at that hat you wear
you're a freakshow
real people want to know
what it is about your face that irritates them so
real people stop and ask
why you wear that costume, and why don't you wear a mask?
Future Memory (Heth and Jed)
i'm falling in love with a memory
of people of places i've never seen
...
i never would have known unless i tried
i never could have caught a glimpse denied
i never could have landed on the moon
but can i wait another day i'm just waiting for a dream
a future memory
of where i'm gonna be if things work out
The Giant Squid Has Not (Brooke Lunderville)
no, the giant squid has nothing his own
but the icy depths he prowls alone
and if he looses a sad squid moan ...
it's lost in the murk of the deep
where only the giant squid sleep
Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger (Daft Punk)
work it harder make it better do it faster makes us stronger
Hey Rose (Girlyman)
the sky smells like water and the air tastes like steel
if you were a storm this is how you would feel
still and dark all night
with great flashes of light
oh, it's not just me, rose
there's nothing i can say that you don't already know
the light is kind of rough
but i could turn it off
I See Monsters (Ryan Adams)
ooh, people are screaming, people are screaming
my baby she's dreaming
Invisible Sun (Sting / Aswad)
and they're only going to change this place
by killing everybody in the human race
and they would kill me for a cigarette
but i don't really wanna die just yet
there has to be an invisible sun
that gives its heat to everyone
Learn to Crawl (Black Lab)
i can feel it like a spider sting, like a memory in my mouth
i feel like the morning fell, like the bottom's fallen out
can you see what's up there above it all, laying down in the valley below
i could walk right up to you, i could talk to you
...
can you teach me how to fly (tonight)
can't you see i'm scared to die (tonight)
and i've only just begun to learn to crawl
Lucky Kid (Sheryl Crow)
i want to turn you into a corvette
i want to drive you out of your mind
i want to watch your face
when you reach that place
that you could never find
i want to make you scream for mercy
i want to break the silence within
and take you to your knees
just like you did me
and crawl around in your skin
Moebius Street (Jeff & Maya Bohnhoff)
if i said i was sorry, would anything be changed
would all the pieces fit, the pattern rearrange
moving ahead with such relentless purpose
forever changed by little accidents
...
across the street, we see ourselves reflected
images from some crazy funhouse mirror
straight lines always seem deflected
bridge the gap to make an imperfect circle
we will end up on moebius street
below the surface everything repeats
i have friends on moebius street
we are not strangers here
Moon Legend (Ben Newman)
grandmother night laid ten thousand eggs
in her own deep, night-black nest
and her ten-thousand children all screamed and begged
and quarreled upon her breast
so she sent them away to the wide, dark wild
to find worlds of their own to rule
and if some her children were pale and mild
others were bright and cruel...
Mortally Coiled Snake (Jesse Dangerously)
these lemonade-drinking renegades thinking they can
get away with sinking ships, these hypocrites seen better days
animals, criminals, little kids, chemicals
snips, snails, fishermen's tales and squids' tentacles
sensibility and sense, prejudice and pride, nice
guys finish last with a side of chicken fried rice
not a robot, but a ghost (Andrew Bird)
i pushed a note under your door
here's how it goes: things come to blows
but we don't want this anymore
no, we don't want this anymore
Pioneers (Bloc Party)
if it can be broke then it can be fixed
if it can be fused then it can be split
it's all under control
it's all under control
it's all under control
it's all under control
Planetary/GO! (My Chemical Romance)
you're unbelievable, ah, so unbelievable
ah, you ruin everything, oh, you better go home
i'm unbelievable, yeah, I'm undefeatable
yeah, let’s ruin everything, blast it to the back row
they sell presentable
young, and so ingestible
sterile and collectible
safe, and I can't stand it
this is a letter
my word is the berretta
the sound of my vendetta
against the ones who planned it
Poison Tree (Lauluyhtye Rajaton)
and it grew both day and night
till it bore an apple bright
and my foe beheld it shine
and he knew that it was mine
Red Rain (Peter Gabriel)
i am standing up at the water's edge in my dream
i cannot make a single sound as you scream
it can't be that cold, the ground is still warm to touch
this place is so quiet, sensing that storm
red rain is falling down
red rain
Send Your Love (Sting)
inside your mind is a relay station
a mission probe into the unknowing
we send a seed to a distant future
then we can watch the galaxies growing
this ain’t no time for doubting your power
this ain’t no time for hiding your care
you’re climbing down from an ivory tower
you’ve got a stake in the world we ought to share
you see the stars are moving so slowly
but still the earth is moving so fast
can’t you see the moon is so lonely
she’s still trapped in the pain of the past
this is the time of the worlds colliding
this is the time of kingdoms falling
this is the time of the worlds dividing
time to heed your call
Sky Blue (Peter Gabriel)
lost my time, lost my place, in sky blue
two blue eyes light your face, in sky blue
know how to fly, i know how to drown, in sky blue
warm wind blowing over the earth, sky blue
i sing through the land, the land sings through me, sky blue
reaching into the deepest shade of sky blue
Something in the Sky (Darren Hayes)
never alone again, never give up
never believe in any kind of bad dream
never been in danger, never been a hot shot
never seen failure, never had a bad day
baby, don't you know a wave is coming through, yeah
don't you feel it coming after you
something in the sky
feels like a fire burning through your neighborhood
something in the sky
something changing all the things you thought you knew
Synchronicity I (The Police)
if we share
this nightmare
we can dream
spiritus mundi
if you act
as you think
the missing link
synchronicity
Things Are Not What They Appear (The Gothic Archies)
nothing's ever what it seems
people lie from ear to ear
just to help their little teams
which are not what they appear
we are wrong to begin with
even if we are sincere
truth is just a useful myth
things are not what they appear
The Tower That Ate People (Peter Gabriel)
there's a bump in the basement
there's a knocking on the wall
in the pumping of the pistons
i swear i heard you call
there's a bump in the basement
there's a hole in the floor
there's a guard in the garden
locking up the door...
brick by brick by brick by brick we're building
Traveller (Aziz the Traveller)
the traveller - i got a thirst for bein' the first
i'll set up the cards and reappear in a burst
the traveller - my powers are beyond super
i cut, chop, paste, sample, then loop 'er
Underground Astrology (Jesse Dangerously)
just give it to me straight without the runaround apology
i couldn't wait for the underground astrology
it's funny, floating weightless in a cavern
beneath the earth's surface, fulfilling man's first purpose
weathering your worst curses, spitballs and spiteful glares
turnabout is foreplay, and i'm the rightful heir
Wake the White Queen (Rogue & The Crüxshadows)
little girl running away from the world
don't blame yourself, words are less than love
in a wonderland, you can bend the course of fate
you can find the key and dream the darkness away
Walking In Your Footsteps (The Police)
fifty million years ago
you walked upon the planet so
lord of all that you could see
just a little bit like me
walking in your footsteps
walking in your footsteps
...
they say the meek shall inherit the earth
they say the meek shall inherit the earth
What A F***ing Lovely Day! (Stephen Merritt)
ah, the smell of despair
is that blood in my hair?
i don't care, i don't care!
what a f***ing lovely day!
