Ulysses/Courier mixes - steps of a battle / if the war was over
Title: steps of a battle / if the war was over
Fandom: Fallout: New Vegas
Subject: Ulysses/Courier
Warnings: Spoilers for Lonesome Road DLC
Notes: So, I really loved the dynamic between Ulysses and the Courier in Lonesome Road, so I started a mix for them right after I finished the DLC. It just took me a while to finish the mix, and by the time I did, it had split into two seperate mixes. The first fanmix (steps of a battle) focuses on the events of LR/Ulysses' past and the second (if the war was over) is a little more pairing-centric, centered around the ending where the Courier doesn't kill Ulysses.

Not in Blood, But in Bond ||| Hans Zimmer
instrumental
To Build A Home ||| The Cinematic Orchestra
'cause i built a home
for you, for me
until it disappeared
from me, from you
and now, it's time to leave and turn to dust
Farewell Transmission ||| Songs: Ohia
a secret out of the past
i will resurrect it, i'll have a good go at it
i can feel his ghost breathing down my back
i will try and know whatever i try
i will be gone, but not forever
there ain't no end to the sands
i've been trying to cross
the real truth about it is my kind of life's no better off
if i've got the maps or if i'm lost
the real truth about it is there ain't no end to the desert i'll cross
Comin' Home ||| Murder By Death
it don't matter where i been
i'm coming home
i got that taste in mouth
i got a hunger in my gut
my skin has turned to leather
my hair is banded rope
my knees have buckled beneath the weight of doubt
but now i miss the things i have done without
Great Expectations ||| Cat Power
facing, confronting, branding each other
we were made through one another
great exceptations
so they say
Hybrid ||| Elsiane
here i begin to fail the steps of a battle without sense
i've nearly began to understand as i've grown my way
there is no light out of all the places
there is no sign of help
there is no time and a chance of relations
how did this begin and turn into such inhumanity?
i'm hoping for myself to escape the insanity, i'm open
what if i choose to live and what if i killed you?
inhumanity
Hey ||| Bedroom Walls
hey, been trying to meet you
and hey, it must be the devil between us
but hey, where have you been?
if you go i will surely die
we're chained
Set Your Arms Down ||| Warpaint
you want to fight me
you want to fight
forgotten sense of me
walk through the fire
walk 'til it gets lighter
there is no hiding
to save your life
Between Two Points ||| The Glitch Mob
we've got forever
slipping through our hands
we've got more time
to never understand
the shortest distance
between two points
is the line
from me to you
A Place Called Home ||| PJ Harvey
one day there'll be a place for us
now is the time
to follow through
to read the signs
now the message sent
let's bring it to its final end
Astronaut ||| Amanda Palmer
and i am still not getting what i want
i want to touch the back of your right arm
i wish you could remind me who i was
because everyday i'm a little further off
and is it getting harder to pretend
that life goes on without you in the wake
and can you see the means without the end
in the random frantic action that we take
and you may be acquainted with the night
but i have seen the darkness in the day
and you must know it is a terrifying sight
because you and i are living the same way
This Tornado Loves You ||| Neko Case
still you are nowhere
nowhere in sight
come out to meet me
you run out to meet me
come into the light
climb the boxcars to the engine
through the smoke and to the sky
Drumming Song ||| Florence + the Machine
as i move my feet towards your body
i can hear this beat, it fills my head up
and gets louder and louder
it fills my head up and gets louder and louder
there's a drumming noise inside my head
that starts when you're around
i swear you could hear it
it makes such an almighty sound
I Declare A Ceasefire ||| My Latest Novel
i declare a ceasefire, 'cause otherwise i'd find it hard
in among the crossfire, where arrows simply my heart
and puncture my desire to put aside the previous part
analyzing dialogue, an arsenal so lightly thrown
please, put down your guns, lower your weapons
oh, i declare a change of heart
Spitting Venom ||| Modest Mouse
you were talking quite a lot
the opinions that i do not give
the opinions i ain't got
so let it drop, let it all drop
hold on to what you need
we've got a knack for fucked up history
hold on to what you need
we've got a knack for messed up history
i didn't know you kept track, i didn't know there was a score
well, it looks like you're the winner and i ain't going to play no more
it's over
game over
"For Ulysses...his journey was over. The Courier had been the end of his road."

(1.) the war is over the black heart procession
i could go anywhere i felt with you
if the war was over
i lie awake and dream of you
it won't be long 'til i'm home if you wait
now if this war was over
(2.) billion bees kevin devine
so we lay glowing in the grass
to watch the sun swap with the moon
to trade our future for our past
the present tense was all we knew
(3.) the next time you say forever neko case
i've been away for so long
i've lost my taste for home
(4.) after the storm mumford & sons
and we stood tall
and remembered our own land
what we lived for
i won't die alone and be left there
well, i guess i'll just go home
oh god knows where
(5.) home depeche mode
here is a page from the emptiest stage
a cage or the heaviest cross ever made
a gauge of the deadliest trap ever laid
and i thank you for bringing me here
for showing me home
for singing these tears
finally, i've found that i belong here
(6.) no one would riot for less bright eyes
well, death may come invisible
or in a holy wall of fire
in the breath between the markers
on a black I-80 mile
from the madness of the governments
to the venegeance of the sea
yeah, everything is eclipsed
by the shape of destiny
so love me now, hell is coming
yeah, kiss my mouth, hell is here
little soldier, little insect
you know war, it has no heart
it will kill you in the sunshine
or happily in the dark
(7.) an army of lovers cannot fail lovers
i'll love you, baby, but i know you don't understand
when the highway takes me, i ain't coming back
the best i've slept in a long time
is when i was in your bed
but tonight i'll whisper goodbye as you lay there
and if they send the wolves, i'll join the wolves
and i'll return some day with my teeth sharper
and my blood hotter
(8.) now is the hour bing crosby
now is the hour
when we must say goodbye
soon you'll be sailing
far across the sea
while you're away
oh then, remember me
when you return
you'll find me waiting here
(9.) welcome home radical face
ships are launching from my chest
some have names, but most do not
peel the scars from off my back
i don't need them anymore
you can throw them out or keep them in your mason jars
i've come home
