Silly Wrong but Vivid Right, an Arthur/Merlin fanmix.
I was thinking about this the other day and in my head this is how their storyline flows, so I thought, 'hey, I know I have some totally rad songs that go with this'. Thus, a fanmix was born. No album art because I am not graphically inclined.
Zip located
here at Box. Individual tracks available for download below. All mp3.
All I Need - Radiohead
(Merlin's insecurity)
I am the next act waiting in the wings,
I am an animal trapped in your hot car,
I am all the days that you choose to ignore,
You are all I need.
The Chills - Peter Bjorn and John
(Arthur's insecurity)
Your tongue is sharp,
But I miss the taste of it.
You said time heals,
There's not enough of it.
The lesson's hard and cruel to keep,
To lock the door, to hide the key.
To hear you cast a spell so sweet,
And still have hours left to sleep.
Your field is crowded,
And there is still no place,
For someone like me to fill.
Last Night - Peter Bjorn and John
(The first morning after)
Oh, this morning sure could change the past.
Oh, please just make this moment last.
Oh, this morning sure could change the past.
If this feeling stays I will remember last night forever.
Mojo Pin - Jeff Buckley
(Separation)
I'm lying in my bed, the blanket is warm
This body will never be safe from harm.
Still feel your hair, black ribbons of coal
Touch my skin to keep me whole.
[...]
The welts of your scorn, my love, give me more.
Send whips of opinion down my back, give me more.
Open Arms - Hey Rosetta
(Arthur's acceptance of love)
I lived my life with dotted 'i's
These knotted fingers toed the line.
Then...your open arms.
Your open arms.
Your open arms.
Sway - the Kooks
(Merlin's acceptance of love)
And take whatever you have to take, you know I love you.
Come however you have to come, and get it out and get it out,
And take it out on me, take it out on me,
I'll give it you all.
Flames - VAST
(Making lurve)
Close your eyes,
Let me touch you now.
Let me give you something
That is real.
[...]
Just put me inside you,
I would never ever leave.
One Day Like This - Elbow
(Waking up happy)
Cause holy cow, I love your eyes,
And only now I see the light.
Yeah, lying with you half-awake,
Stumbling over what to say,
Well, anyway, it's looking like a beautiful day.
Awake - Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
(Arthur standing up to his father and/or the kingdom in defense of Merlin and/or magic)
Every thought you'll be shown
Every act will be known
I defend you
We'll awake every sound
Every chance I'll be found
I'll be with you
To the end now you come
Show your hands to the ones
To behold you.
Master & Servant - Nouvelle Vague
(THEM <3)
There's a new game
We like to play you see
A game with added reality
You treat me like a dog
Get me down on my knees
We call it master and servant.
Three extras for you (not included on ZIP):
Toppy!Merlin:
High Times - Landon PiggWon't you lower your sword and your shield?
I'm gonna show you how submission feels.
Won't you take off your armor for me?
I'm gonna show you how to be free.
Schmaltzy!Arthur:
Asleep and Dreaming - the Magnetic FieldsI've seen you laugh at nothing at all,
I've seen you sadly weeping.
The sweetest thing I ever saw,
Was you asleep and dreaming.
PLUS Call to arms from Arthur to Merlin RE: disappearance of testicles this season:
Combat Baby - MetricCombat baby, come back baby,
Fight off the lethargy,
Don’t go quietly.
[...]
No one here wants to fight me like you do.
