Side A

[SIDE A ZIP]

1. Memphis Exorcism by Squirrel Nut Zippers

[Instrumental]

2. These Bones by Dashboard Confessional

These bones / Are like maps and keys,

Where they took their hits / And they felt those teeth.

There's a story hidden / Underneath.

If you dig in deep / Will you find relief

A song for William.

3. Grace of God Go I by Flogging Molly

Lookin' down through a tide of no return

Is a field where the crops no longer grow

Parched is the land, strangled an' be damned

There for the Grace Of God Go I.

A song for William. Mmmm, Dave King's voice is so yummy.

4. Black Door by the Black Keys

what's behind

your black door

I wanna know

A song for Lazy Bones.

5. Apparition #12 by Thea Gilmore

I held the future up to a looking glass

It bears a striking resemblance to the embers of the past.

A theme for Lazy Bones.

6. Books Written for Girls by Camera Obscura

he likes to read books written for girls

he prides himself on being a man of the world

in the darkest of places he gets his thrills

he will disappoint you

if you see through his perfect smile

7. Lovefool by The Cardigans

Love me love me

say that you love me

Fool me fool me

go on and fool me

Love me love me

pretend that you love me

Leave me leave me

just say that you need me

A song for Anezka.

8. Mists of Down Below by The Duhks

I see the rivers flooding strong

and people wishing they belonged

free for anywhere they want to go

A song from William’s POV.

9. Girl with Clouds by The Bears

She makes

me wait

she turns away

she pretends she doesn't hear a word I say

She's a girl with clouds in her head

Her room,

the sky

she shuts her eyes

and she's never alone even when she's by herself

She's a girl with clouds in her head

A song for Anezka.

10. Blacklisted by Neko Case

to what smooth place at the end of the line

with crackling fires and quiet plains

do the trees bend down

fold their limbs round you?

welcome home faithful one

we forgive you

11. Hunter's Map by Fionn Regan

When the cloud rolls back, back, back

I'll meet you at the mill

Depressions in your neck

He's just keeping you in check

Who was that fox caught in that trap?

Laid with hunters

A theme for Lazy Bones. For William and Anezka.

12. Grown So Ugly by The Black Keys

Baby this ain't me

I've grown so ugly I don't even know myself

A song from the POV of William.

Side B

[SIDE B ZIP]

1. Car Underwater by Armor for Sleep

I'm in a car underwater with time to kill

Thinking back I forgot to tell you this

I didn’t care that you left and abandoned me

What hurts more is I would still die for you

2. Il Secondo Giorno by Air

[Instrumental]

A theme for Lazy Bones.

3. Ramalama (Bang Bang) by Roisin Murphy

could a body close the mind out?

stitch a seam across the eye?

if you can be good, you'll live forever

if you're bad, you'll die when you die

A theme for Lazy Bones and for William.

4. Heavy Boots by Cold War Kids

Heavy boots for crying out loud

Heavy boots are caught up in the crowd

You hear the news we haven't got a chance

Heavy boots crawling on our hands

Feel the weight feel the weight

Find the clues recreate

Feel the weight, feel the weight

Find the clues recreate

A theme for Lazy Bones.

5. Case in Point by Andrew Bird

I’m a breather, bottom feeder

how many litres must I imbibe

and you know it's all just par for the course

but you blame it on some non-existent force

oh yeah, of course

you know you can't ride the concept of the horse

but still I try

A song for William.

6. Just Got to Be by The Black Keys

evil hides

in dark places

but now I find it

in familiar faces

7. Your Heart is an Empty Room by Death Cab For Cutie

Home's face: how it ages when you're away

Spring blooms and you find the love that's true

But you don't know what now to do

Cause the chase is all you know

And she stopped running months ago

And all you see is where else you could be when you're at home

And out on the street are so many possibilities to not be alone

A song for William.

8. Meridian by Sirenia

Thou stalk the ground, the sea and the winds around

to haunt me down profound when the night surrounds

Thou stalk the Stygian stream and the riverine

to haunt my hallowed fields and astrayal dreams

9. O Death by Samamidon

O, Death

Won't you spare me over til another year

Well what is this that I can't see

With ice cold hands takin' hold of me

A song from William’s POV.

10. Go to Sleep by The Avett Brothers

Lay back, lay back, go to sleep my man

Wipe the blood from you face and your hands

Forgive yourself if you think that you can

Go to sleep, go to sleep my man

A song for William.

11. The Scarlet Tide by Alison Krauss

we'll rise above the scarlet tide

that trickles down the mountain

and separates the widow from the bride

A theme for Lazy Bones.

12. Awaken the Horsemen by Movses Panossian

[Instrumental]

13. bonus track – Still Waters by Molasses Creek

Time takes time to realize that time’s slipping away,

I really hope to catch it someday.

A theme for William and Lazy Bones in general.

A sort of separate note from the fanmix, I've met Molasses Creek (a band based on Ocracoke Island). They played at one of my cousin's wedding in North Carolina. We got to hang with them for awhile around the campfire. They are a rather interesting, funny bunch of musicians, and I recommend if you like this song to buy their CDs.

Enjoy,

Cal.
