This was the first fanmix I started working on, finally I am posting this. All songs are in MP3 and you can either download one song at a time, from box.net or Mediafire, or you can download the zips for each side. This is for Fand's fantasy novel Feather and Stone. If you are having problems please shout out and I'll try to fix things.
Enjoy,
Cal.
Fate Works, Unknown: A Mix for Feather and Stone
Side A
01. prologue: Cease to Exist – Tristania [box.net link]
Beneath a fullmoon bright
she comes with gowns flowing wide
With bloodlike lips of faun
Enchanting eyes of dawn
Towards the moon she gaze
A lonely tear runs down her face
For all she lost in life
For Amris.
02. a brother’s wish: Without Mythologies - The Weakerthans [box.net link]
If I could I would make you a raging river,
with angry rapids, supplied with rain,
so you could always meander
and forever be able to run away
without contending with myths wrongly interpreted, with pain.
A harsh wind.
Brennach to Amris
03. a theme for Gildas: Wayfaring Stranger – Jack White [Mediafire link]
I am a poor wayfaring stranger
Travelling through this world alone
04. stones in his pockets: Leave the Pieces – The Wreckers [box link]
Don't concern yourself
With this mess you've left for me
I can clean it up, you see
Just as long as you're gone
I don’t know what it is about this song but I absolutely adore it. At the heart of it this song seems at first a love song, or more a good bye to love that has been shattered song. But the more I listen the more I think it is a song about trust and the knowledge that some things are better off faced alone.

Now you'd think that I should've known better.

My heart sank when I read that letter.
It sank like a stone, it sank like a stone.

01. magician’s lair: Spanish Castle Magic – Jimi Hendrix [box.net link]
But it's all in your mind

I lied

Thanks,
Gaelic Storm is one of my favorite bands. I've met them actually, got to spend some time with the drummer in a pub in Ireland once.
Ta,
Cal.
That Tornado Alley song's good! Nice cover as well.
