General: To Your Skyscrapers (EP)
Medium: General
Title: To Your Skyscrapers
Mixer: Chiara (zephyrocity, zephyrian)
Notes: A six-track EP lasting almost exactly thirty minutes, with one cheeseball bonus track to compensate for the general tone of "really quite tragic". It's the fourth in a recent series of mixes; links to the previous ones are beneath the cut. Artists include Vienna Teng, Imogen Heap, and Damien Rice. This one's about how long distance always seems to come with a few unforeseen twists that make it that much harder, but you still want to stick it out. Comment if you download!
Masochist | Ingrid Michaelson
You say that my skin feels like no one else's,
That it's different somehow.
But I don't understand; isn't a hand just a hand?
[…]
She says you're a masochist for falling for me.
Hiding My Heart | Adele
It was in the darkest of my days
When you took my sorrow and you took my pain
And buried them away, you buried them away.
I wish I could lay down beside you
When the day is done
And wake up to your face against the morning sun,
But like everything I've ever known
You disappear one day.
I Remember | Damien Rice and Lisa Hannigan
I remember it well,
The first time that I saw
Your head around the door,
'Cause mine stopped working.
I remember it well:
There was wet in your hair
I was stood in stare,
And time stopped moving.
I want you here tonight,
I want you here.
[…]
I remember December,
And I wanna hear what you have to say about me,
Hear if you're gonna live without me.
I wanna hear what you want.
What the hell do you want?
Speeding Cars | Imogen Heap
There, there, baby,
It's just textbook stuff.
It's in the ABC of growing up.
Now, now, darling,
Oh, don't lose your head,
'Cause none of us were angels
And you know I love you, yeah.
If You Would Come Back Home | William Fitzsimmons
If you would come back home,
We could start all over.
If you would come back home,
I swear it would be better.
Eric's Song | Vienna Teng
Strange how you know inside me.
I measure the time and I stand amazed.
Strange how I know inside you.
My hand is outstretched toward the damp of the haze.
And of course I forgive:
I've seen how you live,
Like a phoenix you rise from the ashes.
[…]
So we just hold on fast.
Acknowledge the past
As lessons exquisitely crafted,
Painstakingly drafted
To carve us as instruments
That play the music of life.
Bonus! A Thousand Miles | David Archuleta
And I need you,
And I miss you,
And now I wonder:
If I could fall into the sky,
Do you think time would pass me by?
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you
Tonight.
