So, it all started out when Snoink linked me to a post on Teague’s livejournal to a mix of songs for Jesse she had posted. Snoink’s comment was that it was long enough to be an EP, and I said, but by the time I’d be done it would be epic. XD. Also, in her post, Teague mentioned how hard it was to find songs for the rest of her characters, and really making mixes is my version of crack!drugs, so I thought why not. So I guess it all boils down to being Snoink’s fault. An awesome, awesome fault.
These three EPs and two mixes are for Teague’s novel: Fragile Little Things. If there are any problems or you just want one or two songs, please tell me and I’ll do my best to fix/accommodate you. Also, I have rated this post R for language and adult situations.
I HAVE RATED THIS POST R FOR LANGUAGE AND ADULT SITUATIONS.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
*wink*
I have also been trying some new things out with the track-lists and such.
Enjoy,
Cal.
i. all the great set up hears
—a general Fragile Little Things mix—
[ZIP: ALL THE GREAT]
1. disarm. smashing pumpkins.
disarm you with a smile
and leave you like they left me here
to wither in denial
the bitterness of one who's left alone
ooh, the years burn
ooh, the years burn, burn, burn
i used to be a little boy
so old in my shoes
and what i choose is my voice
what's a boy supposed to do?
the killer in me is the killer in you
my love
i send this smile over to you
2. five. electrelane.
[instrumental]
3. kicking the heart out. rogue wave.
you can’t stop kicking the heart out
and you’re a practical mess
4. bad sun. the bravery.
i don't know what's wrong with us
they just made us this way
there's a hole in you and me
that pulls us together
and i don't know where we belong
i think we grew under a bad sun
i know we're not like everyone
you and me we grew, under a bad sun
a song for jesse and eden.
5. heretics. andrew bird.
how 'bout some credit now
where credit is due
for the damage that we've done
wrought upon ourselves and others
with a slow and vicious gun
6. comme enfants. cœur de des pirate.
et malgré ça il m'aime encore / et moi je t'aime un peu plus fort
lyrics translation
and in spite of that, i still love / and me i love a little more extremely
7. this mess we're in. pj harvey featuring radiohead.
no need for words now
we sit in silence
you look me
in the eye directly
you met me
i think it's wednesday
the evening
the mess we're in
a song for eden and jesse.
8. bukowski. modest mouse.
well we sat on the edge of the river
the crowd screamed, "sacrifice the liver!"
if god takes life, he's an indian giver
9. genius and the thieves. eluvium.
[instrumental]
10. our time. yeah yeah yeahs.
it's the year to hated, so glad that we made it.
'cause all the kids in the street whisper sounds that sweet.
the stars under their feet. well, it's the year to be hated.
theme song for Fragile Little Things
11. bonus track: a pair of brown eyes. the young dubliners
one summer evening drunk to hell
i stood there nearly lifeless
an old man in the corner sang
where the water lilies grow
and on the jukebox johnny sang
about a thing called love
and it's how are you kid and what's your name
ii. i ain’t no hero in the night
—a jesse mix—
one.
[ZIP: ONE]
1. i'm your villain. franz ferdinand.
i know what i am
i'm your villain
i don't give a damn if
i'm your villain
because serious
you're so serious
2. let's get fucked up and die. motion city soundtrack.
let's get fucked up and die..
i'm riding hard on the last lines of every lie,
and the bmx bike of my life is about to explode,
i'm about to explode.
i'm a mess, i'm a wreck.
i am perfect, and i have learned to accept all my problems and short comings,
cause i am so visceral, yet deeply inept.
3. i've loved these days. billy joel.
now as we indulge in things refined,
we hide our hearts from harder times.
a string of pearls, a foreign car
oh, we can only go so far on caviar and cabernet.
we drown our doubts in dry champagne,
and soothe our souls with fine cocaine.
i don't know why i even care
we'll get so high and get nowhere.
we'll have to change our jaded ways
but i've loved these days.
4. under pressure. queen.
it's the terror of knowing
what this world is about
watching some good friends
screaming 'let me out'
pray tomorrow - gets me higher
5. oblivion. 30 seconds to mars.
under the burning sun
i take a look around
imagine if this all came down
i'm waiting for the day to come
6. tests on my heart. umbrellas.
if they did tests on my heart
i think maybe they would start
believing all the stories that i tell 'em
7. i ain't mad at ya. lady dottie and the diamonds.
sock it to me
what you see is what you get
i ain’t mad at ya
you ain’t never forget
one of my favorite new local sd bands.
8. fix you. coldplay.
tears streaming down your face
when you lose something you cannot replace
tears streaming down your face and i
tears streaming down your face
i promise you i will learn from my mistakes
tears stream down your face and i
lights will guide you home
and ignite your bones
and i will try to fix you
two.
[ZIP: TWO]
1. jack the ripper. morrissey.
and i know a place
where no one is likely to pass
oh, you don't care if it's late
and you don't care if you're lost
and oh, you look so tired
(but tonight you presume too much)
too much, too much
and if it's the last
thing i ever do
i'm gonna get you
2. all over now. eric hutchinson.
call me crazy if you've got it in you
but these people don't seem to mind
sweet vermouth now you're telling me the truth
a little stubbornness will work out fine
a bottom feeder at the end of my rope
but i'm wondering where this rope began
gonna circle around what i couldn't help bring down
it's just supply with demand
nothing looks the same
even when there's been no change
say that something's gonna give
and it's all giving out on you
3. the pretender. foo fighters.
spinning infinity, boy
the wheel is spinning me
it's never-ending, never-ending
same old story
what if i say i'm not like the others?
4. seven deadly sins. flogging molly.
sufferers who suffer all
can swim upon the desert
where avarice has ravaged all
in spite of good intentions
don't fill your mouth with gluttony
for pride will surely swell
but nothing's unforgiven in the four corners of hell
fghjkl! Dave King rules my world.
5. hall of mirrors. louis xiv.
i'm taking a walk through the chapel royal
i'm here every day as far as i can tell
it's here where i come alive, the mirrors won't tell a lie
i'm lookin' back at me, i'm lookin' back at me
i look at the wall and the others the same
when i ask, "who is god?" something echoes my name
so beautiful, chauvinistic, and vain
i call it true love, but you call me insane
6. spaceman. the killers.
well now i'm back at home, and-
i'm looking forward to this life i live;
you know it's gonna haunt me,
so hesitation to this life i give.
you think you might cross over,
you're caught between the devil and the deep blue sea;
you better look it over,
before you make that leap!
7. now comes the night. rob thomas.
when the hour is upon us
and our beauty surely gone
no you will not be forgotten
no you will not be alone
and when the day has all but ended
and our echo starts to fade
no you will not be alone then
and you will not be afraid
no you will not be afraid
when the fog has finally lifted
from my cold and tired brow
no i will not leave you crying
and i will not let you down
no i will not let you down
i will not let you down
now comes the night
feel it fading away
and the soul underneath
is it all that remains
so just slide over here
leave your fear in the fray
let us hold to each other
until the end of our days
when the hour is upon us
and our beauty surely gone
no you will not be forgotten
no you will not be alone
no you will not be alone
8. teardrop. massive attack.
love, love is a verb
love is a doing word
fearless on my breath
gentle impulsion
shakes me makes me lighter
fearless on my breath
iii. bold as love
—a eden mix—
[ZIP: EDEN]
1. rich girls. the virgins.
we'll walk around
pretending we're all grown up
hey, rich girl!
well, can you tell me why
you're so stuck up?
when you act like you're so down
i'll tell you everything i know,
every little thing i know.
you've got a lovely way with words,
must be the way you see the world,
it's just the way you see the world
you got to know!
you got to know!
one of my favorite songs ever by one of my favorite bands ever!
theme for eden.
2. angela. missy higgins.
clear the way, she's coming through
with her eye-shadow of satin blue and her fingernails all painted blue
she's a danger you're addicted to
3. against all odds. the postal service.
you're the only one who really knew me at all
there's nothing left here to remind me just the memory of your face
you coming back to me is against the odds and that's what i've gotta face
eden's pov; about jesse.
4. post modern girls. regina spektor and the strokes.
modern girls always get their way
eden!politik.
5. margaret vs. pauline. neko case.
girl with the parking lot eyes
margaret is the fragments of a name
her bravery is mistaken for the thrashing in the lake
of the make-believe monster whose picture was faked
margaret is the fragments of a name
her love pours like a fountain
her love steams like rage
her jaw aches from wanting and she's sick from chlorine
but she'll never be as clean
6. drain the blood. the distillers.
all my friends are murder
hey, all my bones no marrows in
all these fiends want teenage meat
all my friends are murderers
from eden’s pov.
7. que sera sera. pink martini.
when i was just a child in school
i asked my teacher
what should i try
should i paint pictures
should i sing songs
this was her wise reply
que sera sera
whatever will be will be
the future's not ours to see
que sera sera
from eden’s pov.
iv. here's to you, mrs. azrael
—a patricia ep—
[ZIP: PATRICIA]
1, dear prudence. the clarks.
dear prudence won't you come out and play
dear prudence open up your eyes
dear prudence see the sunny skies
the wind is low the birds will sing
that you are part of everything
dear prudence won't you open up your eyes?
a theme for patricia.
2. watching the detectives. elvis costello & the attractions.
she is watching the detectives
when they shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot
they beat him up until the teardrops start
but he can't be wounded 'cause he's got no heart
how patricia feels about jesse.
3. action/adventure. andrew bird.
so when you think you're on the fast track /you find it’s just a cul-de-sac back
in that adult lifestyle community / but if you think i'm wasting your time again
no, you're wasting mine... / so i'm looking at the back of my hand again
i'm looking at the back of my hand again
4. nobody has to stay. mirah.
come away with me today / everything should be okay
fill your pockets while you pray / with some to eat and some to save.
nobody has to stay / but we wish they would anyways.
v. gate fever
—a detective leonard ep—
[ZIP: DETECTIVE LEONARD]
Note on the title, gate fever (n.), British slang for nervousness felt by prisoners towards the end of their sentence.
1. title and registration. death cab for cutie.
cause behind its door there's nothing to keep my fingers warm
and all i find are souvenirs from better times
before the gleam of your taillights fading east
to find yourself a better life.
2. run (i'm a natural disaster). gnarls barkley.
hurry little children
run this way
i have got a beast at bay
promise me when the chance comes
you'll run as fast as you can
don't you dare look backwards
run as fast as you can
3. forces of victory. gogol bordello.
down in the hallways of unknown
where we walk alone
inside of hospitals and morgue
4. the rabbit, the bat, and the reindeer. dr. dog.
well, i don't want a thing to do with you kind
and i ain't got no time to kill on your dime
strung up, hanging 'round
looking like you're upside down
well, i ain't wanting to shed no blood, that's your crime
and i ain't wanting to sling no mud, i clean it up
you ain't what i'd call a friend
i wouldn't even if i could pretend
man, you ain't like anybody else
as night becomes the sun to rise
as dirt becomes the butterflies
as sure as though it always seems to stay the same
and i'll be waiting anxiously
and i'll be falling fast asleep
and i'll be dreaming of the day the dream died
uh huh
no sticks, no stones could break my bones like you can
if i knew hate, i'd call it love for you, man
high up on the hill, cheaper than a dollar bill
man, you ain't like anybody else
should we pretend that it's the end?
are you my curse or are you my friend?
and if we got hit to the end of the road
will you be there to carry my load?
I adore this song.
I feel that it is the perfect sentiment to explain the relationship between detective leonard and jesse. (which is why so much of the song is here.)
