⌈010⌋ fanmix • doctor who • susan foreman • you can hear the cry of the planet
I've been working on this mix for months now, & it's been done for, o, about that very length of time? ::laughs:: I'm positively shitty at finishing & posting things in a timely manner. But at least I get them up at some point! ::eyes a few mixes still sitting on her hard drive that are a few years old::
Er . . . well, maybe.
Anyway, this is a mix I've been wanting to do for a while now. It's a twelve-track, plus two bonus track mix for our very first companion of all - though calling her a companion can be debatable, if you wish to argue semantics - miss Susan Foreman, the Doctor's granddaughter. Susan is a favourite of mine, though many people, even now, as I've seen first-hand, think of her as merely a whiny screamer. I don't - I think a big problem is that too many people look at Susan & her behaviour from a twenty-first century viewpoint & compare her to future companions & as a consequence, find her irritating. Granted there were problems with the way Susan was written, but she still was able to grow to a degree to where we see her in her final story. (& in her audio An Earthly Child)
& she was the Doctor's granddaughter & a Time Lady! So of course she was something wonderful. & I'm going to celebrate that here.

o1. Tori Amos - Strange Little Girl [♬]
One day you see a strange little girl look at you
One day you see a strange little girl feeling blue
She'd run to the town one day
Leaving home and the country fair
Just beware
When you're there
Strange little girl
Strange little girl
Where are you going?
Strange little girl
Where are you going?
Strange little girl you really should be going
o2. Emilie Autumn - Shalott [♬]
She says, 'How long can I live this way
Is there no one I can pay to let me go
'Cause I'm half sick of shadows
I want to see the sky
Everyone else can watch as the sun goes down
So why can't I?'
o3. Jenny Omnichord - Where She Came From [ ♬]
She came from where they came from
Her birthplace was the same
But she didn't have any money, and she didn't have a name
. . . .
She tried her luck in love and failed immensely
All the local boys creeped her out intensely
o4. Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Mystery Girl [♬]
It was the struggle of the century
And all the grown men came to see
The girl who could tame the tiger, yeah, yeah
The heart of the Southern lovebirds
They found her under the sea
She said she came from cell block three
o5. Rasputina - Secret Message [♬]
I carry a secret message
That I must give to you
It concerns suspicious blessings,
Now I am sure you'll know what to do
But if it should be some bad news
You know you can lean on me
. . . .
I'm not at liberty to say
How a secret message came for you today
It holds the secrets of my heart
and my mind
It tells of vast expanses
Stretching backwards over time
o6. The Beatles - Think For Yourself [♬]
I've got a word or two
To say about the things that you do
You're telling all those lies
About the good things that we can have
If we close our eyes
Do what you want to do
And go where you're going to
Think for yourself
. . . .
Although your mind's opaque
Try thinking more if just for your own sake
The future still looks good
And you've got time to rectify
All the thoughts that you should
o7. Polly Scattergood - I Am Strong [♬]
I am strong, I am not weak
I am not in a place where I can talk to you
I am not hot, I am not cold
I am not for sale, I am sold
I am unaffected, yet quite confused
In a state of non security, of non security
o8. Utada Hikaru - Sanctuary [♬]
In you and I there's a new land
Angels in flight
My sanctuary my sanctuary
Where fears and lies melt away
Music in time
What's left of me what's left of me now
I watch you fast asleep
All I fear means nothing
o9. Paul Simon - Father & Daughter [♬]
And though I can't guarantee
There's nothing scary hiding under your bed
I'm gonna stand guard like a postcard of a golden retriever
And never leave till I leave you with a sweet dream in your bed
I'm gonna watch you shine
Gonna watch you grow
Gonna paint a sign
So you'll always know
As long as one and one is two
There could never be a father who loved his daughter more than I love you
10. PJ Harvey - A Place Called Home [♬]
One day
I know
We'll find
A place of hope
Just hold on to me
Just hold on to me
. . . .
Now is
The time
To follow through
To read the signs
Now the
Message is sent
Let's bring it to its final end
One day there'll be a place for us
11. Urge Overkill - Girl, You'll Be A Woman Soon [♬]
Well, I finally found what I've been looking for
But if they get a chance they'll end it for sure
Sure they would
Baby I've done all I could
It's up to you
Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Please come take my hand
12. The Doors - Lost Little Girl [♬]
I think that you know what to do
Impossible, yes, but it's true.
I think that you know what to do, girl
I'm sure that you know what to do
You're lost little girl
You're lost little girl
You're lost
13. Eisley - Memories [♬]
But her life is so beautiful
As memories continue to grow
Into beautiful things that spring from these rows
With their musical names and musical sounds
Beautiful things that spring from these rows
With their musical names and musical sounds, and musical sounds
14. Tori Amos - Winter [♬]
I run off where the drifts get deeper
Sleeping Beauty trips me with a frown
I hear a voice, "You must learn to stand up
For yourself 'cause I can't always be around"
. . . .
Hair is grey and the fires are burning
So many dreams on the shelf
You say I wanted you to be proud of me
I always wanted that myself
Er . . . well, maybe.
