Mix for Sentient [by mizz-iceberg]

Mix for mizz-iceberg

For a prize for winning one of my contests, Zehra (mizz-iceberg) won a fanmix. This mix is reminiscent of my early mixes—a two sided, 30 odd song compilation; it is somewhat chronologically sound. This is a mix for her story, Sentient II.

My mixes have undergone some upgrades. I’ve upgraded them in iTunes so that all the disc info is written into it. 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.

Enjoy,

Cal.

1. the village green prevention society. the kinks.

we are the village green…

A song for the world, he left behind.

2. scalliwag. gaelic storm.

from the north from the south from the east from the west,

well the sky is our roof and the road is our rest.

no one to say 'yes', no one to say 'no'.

run free with the raggle-taggle gypsy oh!

A song for the life, he now embodies.

3. deep in the night. abigail washburn.

deep in the night

i hear the darkness

bones tell the body

rest in its arms

i hear the calling

of life's sweet embrace

resting too soon

deep in the night

i feel the stardust

blue tells the heavens

fall from the sky

i feel the shadows

of time's own longing

falling away

4. the plouescat races. gaelic storm.

[instrumental]

5. to be alone with you. sufjan stevens.

you gave your body to the lonely

they took your clothes

you gave up a wife and a family

you gave your ghost

to be alone with me

From the POV of the city, Sopta.

6. limit to your love. feist.

there's a limit to your love

like a waterfall in slow motion

like a map with no ocean

there's a limit to your love

your love, your love, your love.

there's a limit to your care

so carelessly there

is it truth or dare?

there's a limit to your care

7. resurrection fern. iron & wine.

like stubborn boys with big green eyes

we'll see everything

in the timid shade of the autumn leaves

and the buzzard's wing

and we'll undress beside the ashes of the fire

our tender bellies are wound around in baling wire

all the more a pair of underwater pearls

than the oak tree and its resurrection fern

A song for [MC].

8. where. lisbeth scott.

on this half lit day

with your crown beneath your wings

ev'ry word just echoes

and the empty world sings

where have you gone, my feather light heart?

i never imagined i could leave.

A song from the POV of the [MC].

who i want to be

A song from the POV of the [MC].

11. rain. patty griffin.

now i don't want to beg you baby

for something maybe you could never give

i'm not looking for the rest of your life

i just want another chance to live

strange how hard it rains now

rows and rows of big dark clouds

12. pretty bird. jenny lewis.

you go west for the black setting sun

you go south to the white spirit of earth

you go east for those real green eyes

you go for north, walk the good red road

pretty bird

there's a mirror in heaven

pretty bird, pretty bird

there's a window on earth

13. panic open string. calexico.

when the stars align, reminds me of you

words will lose their fear

and i will find their truth

church bells in the hills, they will ring and ring

it's where we'll go when we

leave this place and die

14. patterns (demo version). simon & garfunkel.

there are patterns i must follow

just as i must breathe each breath.

like a rat in a maze

the path before me lies

A song from the POV of the [MC].

15. you've gone my friend. new buffalo.

you board the ship

the water laps against the sides

reminds you of

when you were a child

you rowed the boat to mystery

and walked through trails

where all the trees

had faces

you wrapped your arms around

and felt the breeze

you've gone my friend

you've gone to start your life again

16. lion's jaws. neko case.

the night i fell into the lion’s jaws

to my regret and your delight

those teeth themselves could not divine

nor their pressure estimate

the haze i wished you’d never break

and to never contemplate

17. winter: allegro. antonio vivaldi.

[instrumental]

18. it don't matter to the sun. rosie thomas.

it don't matter to the sun if you go or if you stay.

shine down on another day.

there will be tomorrow even if you choose to leave.

cause it don't matter to the sun, no, no.

it matters to me.

[ZIP: side b]

1. deeper well. the wailin' jennys.

i was ready for love i was ready for the money

ready for the blood and ready for the honey

ready for the winnin', ready for the bell

found that blood would drip from the honey

found i had a thirst that i could not quell

lookin' for the water from a deeper well

A song from the POV of the [MC].

2. vast. temptation.

i went in the desert

i went searching for the truth

i stumbled across you

and i know you're not the truth

i went in the ocean

i went looking for some love

i haven't found enough

can you save me from myself

they've been killing children

and nobody seems to care

they've been laughing at my god

my god, i wouldn't dare

this song is for the wanderer

let time heal my insides.

even though i'm not her minder,

even though she doesn't want me around,

to make sure that she is safe from harm.

the sun sets on the war,

the day breaks and everything is new...

A song from the POV of the [MC] for the city, Sopta.

5. send angels. plumb.

he felt alone and aging unkind

A song for the [MC].

we both know that it's been so long

i'm not sure what to say so i hope

fireflies remember to do exactly what it was they used to

14. long time traveller. the wailin' jennys.

ye fleeting charms of earth

farewell, your springs of joy are dry

my soul now seeks another home

a brighter world on high

i'm a long time travelling here below

i'm a long time travelling away from home

i'm a long time travelling here below

to lay this body down

farewell kind friends whose tender care

has long engaged my love

your fond embrace i now exchange

for better friends above

i'm a long time travelling here below

i'm a long time travelling away from home

i'm a long time travelling here below

to lay this body down

little darling

it seems like years since it's been here.
