we are all embers from the same fire
As a sort of spring cleaning, I'm cleaning out my fanmix palette. I started working on this literally years ago, and I just want to get it out there and move on. Especially since I don't feel a lot of fanmixing in my future. Anyway, the story of Kelsier and his crew and Vin and Elend and Sazed and OreSeur. With many blank spots that could have been filled, I'll be the first to admit.
And happy International Women's Day!

The Final Empire
[instrumental]
m u m f o r d & s o n s . NOT IN NOTTINGHAM
Luthadel
every town has its ups and downs
sometimes the ups outnumber the downs,
but not in Nottingham - I'm inclined to believe
if we weren't so down, we'd up and leave
we'd up and fly, if we had wings for flyin'
s u f j a n s t e v e n s . THE DRESS LOOKS NICE ON YOU
Valette Renoux
I can see a lot of life in you
I can see a lot of bright in you
And I think the dress looks nice on you
t h e s h i n s . A COMET APPEARS
The Revolution
with each turn it stays front and center
like a dart stuck square in your eye
every post you can hitch you faith on
is a pie in the sky, chock-full of lies,
a tool we devise to make singing stones fly
t h e m o u n t a i n g o a t s . UP THE WOLVES
Kelsier's Crew
our mother has been absent ever since we founded Rome
but there's gonna be a party when the wolf comes home
I'm gonna get myself in fighting trim, scope out every angle of unfair advantage
I'm going to bribe the officials, I'm going kill all the judges
it's going to take you people years to recover from all the damage
b l u e o c t o b e r . PRO RE NATA
Kelsier's death
[instrumental]
j u s t j a c k . EMBERS
The fire in Luthadel
the facts and the figures, they overwhelm and stifle
everything you thought you knew
through all of the devilish things we do
we are all embers from the same fire
v a n d a v e e r . FISTFUL OF SWOON
Rashek
the stench of sulfur coming up the drain
open up your chest - your heart would smell the same
though your towers were tall and your powers were grand
you could not understand
how you fell from great heights and burrowed with speed
a kingdom you did lead from heaven to hell
p a t r i c k w o l f . BLOODBEAT
Vin & Zane
I wake at dusk to go alone
without a light to the unknown
I want this night inside of me
I want to feel this speeding
a n d r e w b i r d . FAKE PALINDROMES
Vin's Crew
whiskey-plied voices cried 'Fratricide!'
Jesus, don't you know that you could've died,
you should've died, with the monsters that talk
monsters that walk the earth
t h e r e p u b l i c t i g e r s . FIGHT SONG
The Assembly
pharmaceuti-government got your mind
and your thoughts. evacuate now!
cause this storm's out for blood
build a shelter for your kind
s c a l a & t h e k o l a c n y b r o t h e r s . IT NEVER WILL COME BACK
Sazed
if I should be some kind of Jesus
I would pray for absolution and peace
instead of taking the nails from my wounds
that's not what a Jesus is supposed to do
c u r s i v e . CAT AND MOUSE
Marsh
some scars heal and practically fade away
while some reveal a past you can't escape
and others still are entirely fake
so what's it going to be, my long lost brother?
d e a d m a n ' s b o n e s . MY BODY IS A ZOMBIE FOR YOU
The Kandra & the Koloss
I can't fit in this skin, it's worn and useless thin
and the size of the eyes and the flies in the sky
make it hard to see to the end
oh, I hold my soul from the lands unknown
so I can play the strings of your death
e l l i e g o u l d i n g . I KNOW YOU CARE
Allriane/Breeze
I used to run down the stairs to the door
when I thought you were there
do you shape through the comfort of us
two lovers loved out of love
but I know you care, I see it in the way you stare
as if there was trouble ahead and you knew it
I'll be saving myself from the ruin
b a s t i l l e . THINGS WE LOST IN THE FIRE (Abbey Road Sessions)
Dockson
I was the match and you were the rock
maybe we started this fire
we sat apart and watched all we had burned on the pyre
you said we were born with nothing
and we sure as hell have nothing now
j o s h r i t t e r . WOLVES
Vin & Elend & the Revolution
winter came and there was little left between us
skin and bones of love won't make a meal
I felt my eyes lifting over your shoulder
there were wolves at the edge of the field
but I still remember that time when we were dancing
then one day I just woke up and the wolves were all there
I still can't believe they heard me
that I was howling out that loud
s t r e a m o f p a s s i o n . DECEIVER
Vin & Reen
if you go through my fears
(soon I'll be letting you down)
you will see I have lost control
(I am not who you think I am)
all the faith I had is gone
t h e w e a k e r t h a n s . WITHOUT MYTHOLOGIES
The Prophecy
if I could I would make you a raging river,
with angry rapids, supplied with rain,
so you could always meander and forever be able to run away
without contending with myths wrongly interpreted,
with pain. A harsh wind.
i w a s h i r o t a r o . SEKAI NO HATE DE
The battle
[instrumental]
w h i t e l i e s . THE POWER & THE GLORY
Ruin & Preservation
as empty-handed leaving as I was when I came
tip-toeing through the rubble and running through the flames
well, really, I hadn't noticed
until I had the power to give it all back
until I felt the glory when the buildings collapsed
g r e a t l a k e s w i m m e r s . CHANGING COLOURS
The Heroes & God
when the wind takes you, it takes me too
when you change colours, I change mine, too
try not to think and I will try, too
and when you let go, I will let go, too
