take this sinking boat and point it home
take this sinking boat and point it home - a jack/ianto fanmix
I've never made a proper fanmix before so please be gentle with me! I did this for myself mostly because it was very therapeutic, but I thought I'd put it up here in case anyone is interested. Sorry for the angst.
I wish I could do a picspam to go with this but I have no photoshop skills. It's chronological, covering their whole story in all three seasons. The first half is a mixture of either POV but the second half is more Jack's POV.
1. Colorful - Rocco DeLuca and the Burden
You're the most colorful thing that I've seen
You're the most beautiful thing that I've seen
2. This is Hardcore - Pulp
You are hardcore, you make me hard.
You name the drama and I'll play the part.
It seems I saw you in some teenage wet dream.
I like your get up if you know what I mean.
3. Because I Want You - Placebo
Stumble into you, is all i ever do
My memory's hazy and I'm afraid to be alone.
Tear us in two, is all it's gonna do.
4. I Hope That I Don’t Fall in Love With You - Emiliana Torrini
I can see that you are lonesome just like me,
And it being late, youd like some some company,
Well I turn around to look at you,
And you look back at me.
5. Falling Slowly - Glen Hansard, Markéta Irglová
Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can't go back.
Moods that take me and erase me
And I'm painted black.
You have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It's time that you won.
Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time.
6. Secret Smile - Semisonic
When you are flying around and around the world
And I'm lying alonely
I know there's something sacred and free reserved
And received by me only.
Nobody knows it but you've got a secret smile
And you use it only for me.
7. High and Dry - Jamie Cullum
Two jumps in a week, I bet you think that's pretty clever don't you, boy.
Flying on your motorcycle, watching all the ground beneath you drop.
You'd kill yourself for recognition, kill yourself to never ever stop.
You broke another mirror, you're turning into something you are not.
Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry.
8. Set The Fire To The Third Bar - Snow Patrol feat. Martha Wainwright
Their words mostly noises
Ghosts with just voices
Your words in my memory
Are like music to me.
I'm miles from where you are,
I lay down on the cold ground
And I, I pray that something picks me up
and sets me down in your warm arms.
9. You Do Something To Me - Paul Weller
Hanging on the wire, I'm waiting for the change.
I'm dancing through the fire, just to catch a flame
and feel real again.
10. Better Man - James Morrison
There was a time I had nothing to give,
I needed shelter from the storm i was in,
And when it all got too heavy you carried my weight,
And I want to hold you, And I want to say,
That you are all that I need,
For you, I give my soul to keep,
You see me, love me
Just the way I am
I said for you I am a better man.
11. Until The World - The Afters
I lose myself to find in me
The way it really ought to be
It's hard to say I love you
It's hard to say I need you.
Until the world won't turn
'Til the planets burn
Until the sun dies I'll be there
Until the heavens come
'Til this life is done
Until the world dies I'll be there.
12. Love Burns - Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
Nothing else can hurt us now
No loss, our love's been hung on a cross.
Nothing seems to make a sound
And now it's all so clear somehow.
Nothing really matters now
We're gone and on our way
Now she's gone love burns inside me.
13. Soldier’s Poem - Muse
Throw it all away, Let's lose ourselves,
'cause there's no one left for us to blame
It's a shame, we're all dying.
And do you think you deserve your freedom?
How could you send us so far away from home?
When you know damn well that this is wrong
I would still lay down my life for you.
And do you think you deserve your freedom?
No, I don't think you do
There's no justice in the world
And there never was.
14. My Body is a Cage - Arcade Fire
My body is a cage
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key.
I’m living in an age
That calls darkness light
Though my language is dead
Still the shapes fill my head
I’m living in an age
Whose name I don’t know
Though the fear keeps me moving
Still my heart beats so slow.
15. I Will Remember You - Ryan Cabrera
I will remember you
And all of the things that we've gone through
There is so much I could say
But words get in the way
So when we're not together
I will remember you.
You were there when I needed a friend,
Thank you, thank you
I never told you how much that meant
Wanna thank you, thank you.
16. Those You’ve Known - Spring Awakening OBC
Now they’ll walk on my arm through the distant night
And I won’t let them stray from my heart
Through the wind, through the dark, through the winter light
I will read all their dreams to the stars
I’ll walk now with them
I’ll call on their names
And I’ll see their thoughts are known
Not gone
