____________________________
it is really far too easy for me to do angst, I generally fall that way with most mixes.I have a lot of sad feelings for a lot of fictional characters. since I've been amping myself up for Nano I thought I'd throw all my angsty pre-novel time feelings into a mix.
The novel I've painstakingly outlined and will be writing for November is called Rust. It centers around a medium named Elijah Brady, a bunch of spirits,a construction crew and a couple of reapers. While I was outlining I fell head over heels for this ship I totally shouldn't ship and that's where this comes in.This mix is set before the novel and follows Eli and his reaper/spirit guide Viola from their first meeting to just before my novel starts and everything is shitty. She helps him sort out what he is, and teaches him a thing or two about magic and life. He falls in love with someone who is essentially a ghost,it's awkward since she's kind of like his family and you know...dead. I shouldn't be hoping that this makes your heart ache like it did mine, but what can I say, I'm evil like that.
this coding took entirely too long and I'm not even sure it's readable. consider the things to the right fic of sorts. I only wish I could count this toward my word count!____________________________
lullaby | dixie chicks
They didn't have you where I come from
Never knew the best was yet to come
Life began when I saw your face
And I hear your laugh like a serenade
"Don't be frightened dear heart. My name is Viola. I'm going to be your friend."
"I'm not scared. Not scared of anything."
"You're a brave little soldier aren't you? What's your name?"
"I'm Elijah. Mom calls me Eli. Do I have to share you with Bethany?"
"No sweetheart, I only belong to you. I'm your secret."

helplessness blues | fleet foxes
I was raised up believing I was somehow unique
Like a snowflake distinct among snowflakes,
unique in each way you can see
And now after some thinking, I'd say I'd rather be,
A functioning cog in some great machinery
serving something beyond me
"I don't want to be special. "
"Tough cookies darling. No boy of mine is going to quit."
"If I was like everyone else I wouldn't be able to see you would I?"
"No, no sweetheart you wouldn't."
"Alright."
king and lionheart | of monsters and men
and in the sea that's painted black
creatures lurk below the deck ,
but you're the king and I'm a lionheart .
and as the world comes to an end ,
I'll be here to hold your hand
cause you're my king and I'm your lionheart .
"When are you going to let me do something fun? "
"When you realize this isn't a game Elijah"
"Oh come on Vi, you know I'm ready!"
"Last week you swore at me in latin."
"By accident!"
"Do the spell again."
twice today | pearl and the bear
twice today I found myself in love again
oh I love you more when you're gone
and I can sleep again
I love you more
you've become the one I could still love when you are gone"Where do you go when you're not with me?"
"The other side, sometimes to help spirits cross."
"I thought you only did that with me, or for me."
"Mostly it's just you, sometimes spirits don't need a medium"
"So you don't have another medium?"
"No sweetheart, only you."
angels | the x
you move through the room like breathing was easy
if someone believed me
they would be
as in love with you as I a "When on earth did you learn that spell and-Elijah, what's going on here?"
"I wanted to talk to you about something."
"It couldn't wait until the next time I came to see you?"
"I think I'm in love with you Vi."
"Oh darling, no."
lover's eyes | mumford & son
do not ask the price I pay
I must live with my quiet rage
take the ghosts inside my head
that run wild and wish me dead "You can't understand sweetheart, what it's like after
decades of being unseen.
Of talking to the dead. To know someone so full of life,
to have them finally see you."
"I think I have some idea.."
"You need a life Elijah, you cannot love a dead thing."
birds of a feather | the civil war
Dancing with a ball and chain
Through it all we still remain
Like butterflies around a flame
Till ashes, ashes, we fade away "I thought you were gone for good."
"I've been trying to give you space, to heal.."
"I don't need to heal Vi. You can't disappear on me"
"Oh sweetheart, you're stuck with me. TIll the end."
"Good."

"Vi! Viola, please!"
"Oh Elijah. "
"Please, tell me how to fix it. She can't die."
"She already has dear heart, she's gone."
"Vi, I can't. Please."
biko | bloc part
for my sweetheart the melancholic
you have crossed the river styx
and the waves have taken you away
as I lay my head on your chest
I can hear it in your vein "She's not like you Elijah, she'll be a spirit,
and as time goes on she will become a shell of herself.
You can't want that for her."
"I just want her here. I need her here Vi, please."
"No, you'll hate me for this, but you'd hate yourself more if I let you."
empty | ray lamontagn
Well, I looked my demons in the eyes
laid bare my chest, said "Do your best, destroy me
You see, I've been to hell and back so many times,
I must admit you kind of bore me.""Are you planning to drink yourself to death?"
"Thinkin' about it yeah.."
"Oh Elijah, you can't do this darling"
"You say can't a lot lately dont'cha Vi? I can't do this, you can't save her. "
"I know you're hurting. I'll leave you be."
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 "Elijah, this is getting ridiculous. "
"Didn't I tell you to go away already?"
"Repeatedly, and I've told you that you're stuck with me."
"I don't want you here. I'm not some fifteen year old kid anymore. I'm not in love with you."
"I don't just stop caring because you fell out of love with me darling."
"Maybe you should. Leave Viola. I'm done. Retired. I quit. "
