Mix: The Siren's Songs
The Siren’s Songs is a fanmix concerning the character of Eideard/Eddie in the Journeys ‘verse. This mix is more about his history with Aindrea/Andy Haldane, the transformation from the arranged-marriage and strangers they were to the strong partnership they became. There will be much more of Eddie and Andy in this ‘verse, but this mix has been bouncing around in my head and it was time to get it out.
1. At Wits End by Hans Zimmer
Instrumental
2. Shells by Mirah
You are an island
All the secrets until then
Pried open I held them
3. Annabelle Lee by Sarah Jarosz (singing Edgar Allan Poe)
For many years I’ve wandered
Through this kingdom by the sea
I’ve laid myself beside the bones
Of my beautiful Annabelle Lee
I’ll make my bed near the rising tide
In her tomb by the sounding sea
4. All This and Heaven Too by Florence + the Machine
No, words are a language that doesn’t deserve such treatment
That all of my stumbling phrases never amounted to anything worth this feeling
All this heaven never could describe such a feeling as I’m here
Words were never so useful
‘Till I was screaming out a language
That I never knew existed before
5. Here and Heaven by Edgar Meyer, Chris Thile, Stuart Duncan, and Yo-Yo Ma featuring Aoife O’Donovan.
’Cause we’re not lost enough to find the stars aren’t crossed
Why align them, why fall hard
Not soft into
Fall, not winter spring not summer cool not cold
And it’s warm not hot
Have we all forgotten
That we’re getting old
6.What Has Been Done by The Wailin Jennys
Have your holy, I’ll have mine
soil and birch and open sky
All our stories someday go
dust from air and earth from bone
Oh I hear the ancients calling
that we’ll know from where we’ve come
there on that horizon we will see what has been done
7. Blue Side of the Mountain by The SteelDrivers
I’m goin' back to a world of shadow
Gotta find some peace 'for I lose my mind
On the blue side of the mountain
Where the sun don't ever shine
8. Rivers by Frank Turner
I traced these rivers from the cities to the seas
To remind me of what I already know
I traced the shorelines through a thousand histories
To remind me an island is my home
An island is my home
9. Down to the River to Pray by Alison Krauss
O brothers let's go down
Let's go down, come on down
Come on brothers, let's go down
Down in the river to pray
10. My Blue Heaven by Taking Back Sunday
Is this all too familiar?
Does it happen all the time?
I'm just asking you to hear me.
Could you please, just once, just hear me?
More than anything you wanted to be right.
Still it's you, you, it's you I can't deny.
11. Across the Sea by The Wailin’ Jennys
I see your face across the sea
You’re in the waves, surrounding me
I hear your voice call on the breeze
On this ship out on the ocean
12. With a Wonder and a Wild Desire by Flogging Molly
So with a wonder and a wild desire
I will crawl from under every weight
With a wonder and a wild desire
Bless the day it was I shared your name
With a wonder and a wild desire
I will crawl from under every weight
With a wonder and a wild desire
Bless the day it was I shared your name
Yesterday forever speaks your grave
13. Siren Song by Bat for Lashes
Be proud when you dazzle the wanderers
And glitter your eyes for the town
Tell every last boy that you're my man
I'll try not to let you down
14. Safe & Sound by Taylor Swift featuring The Civil Wars
Don't you dare look out your window darling
Everything's on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging on
Hold onto this lullaby
Even when the music's gone
Gone
