This is my first fanmix ever, hope I did an okay job.
So I've had this playlist in my iTunes for ages now, and I finally got around to narrowing down exactly which songs I wanted to include on the mix. Honestly, these are just the ones I always have in my R/S playlist. I've got others, but I'm always adding and deleting.
I'm not really going to elaborate on why I chose certain songs, because I think the lyrics do a pretty good job of that already. In some cases the songs don't make perfect sense; I've got a lot of songs that just strike me as very Remus/Sirius even if the words don't completely make sense. Certain songs are very specific to certain events, so I noted who they're representing next to them. Ones that say Remus/Sirius can really go either way. Also, I tried to minimalize the amount of lyrics I posted, but in some cases almost the whole song fit and I had to post a couple of verses.
Okay, maybe I am going to elaborate slightly:
'Creep', although very self-explanatory just strikes me as a very Remus-y song in the fact that it's very self-depreciating. I always get the feeling that Remus wonders how the hell he got to be with Sirius, who's so fucking gorgeous, and sometimes he wishes he were special too.
The first verse of 'Nothing Man' has always reminded me of right before everything goes to shit and Sirius goes off to Azkaban. You know, the whole scene in the street and Peter's finger gets left behind, blah blah. This one line, specifically: "How my brave young life was forever changed, in a misty cloud of pink vapor," has always reminded me of that. I just feel I might need to justify this to others as I've been told my reasoning doesn't always come across as very clear.
I think that about covers it... if you've got any questions about why I chose something, I'd be glad to explain. I tried to minimize that here because I tend to get very rambly and digress a lot.
An asterisk denotes any song that is an .m4a. If you need me to convert any of the songs to .mp3, just ask. I've uploaded individual songs and a zip folder of all the songs. Enjoy! (Oh, and sorry for the super lame cover, I haven't been bothered to do anything artsy recently so you're stuck with my hastily thrown together crap album art. You can save and do with it what you wish by right clicking and saving, I forgot to put it in the folder with the songs.)
1. the story : brandi carlile (remus)
all of these lines across my face
tell you the story of who i am
so many stories of where i've been,
and how i got to where i am
you see the smile that's on my mouth
it's hiding the words that don't come out
all the the friends who think that i'm blessed
they don't know i'm in this mess
no, they don't know who i really am,
and they don't know what i've been through like you do
i was made for you
when you were here before
couldn't look you in the eye
you're just like an angel
your skin makes me cry
i don't care if it hurts
i wanna have control
i want a perfect body
i want a perfect soul
but i'm a creep
i'm a weirdo
what the hell am i doing here?
i don't belong here
they made a statue of us
and put it on a mountain top
now tourists come and stare at us
blow bubbles with their gum
take photographs for fun, for fun
they'll name a city after us
and later say it's all our fault
then they'll give us a talking to
then they'll give us a talking to
because they've got years of experience
blackbird singing in the dead of night
take these broken wings and learn to fly
all your life, you were only waiting for this moment to arise
blackbird singing in the dead of night
take these sunken eyes and learn to see
all your life, you were only waiting for this moment to be free
you moved like honey in my dream last night
yeah, some old fires were burning
you came near to me, and you endeared to me
but you couldn't quite discern me
does that scare you? i'll let you run away
but your heart will not oblige you
you'll remember me like a melody
yeah, i'll haunt the world inside you
you may tire of me as our december sun is setting
because i'm not who i used to be
no longer easy on the eyes
but these wrinkles masterfully disguise
the youthful boy below who turned your way and saw
something he was not looking for: both a beginning and an end
but now he lives inside someone he does not recognize
when he catches his reflection on accident
on the back of a motor bike
with your arms outstretched trying to take flight
leaving everything behind
but even at our swiftest speed we couldn't break from the concrete
in the city where we still reside.
and i have learned that even landlocked lovers yearn for the sea like navy men
cause now we say goodnight from our own separate sides
like brothers on a hotel bed
right on the inside, that is the hardest
the hardest game to play
you sorted it all out and managed to slip through
the night into the day
do you ever get lonely?
i'm gonna take you home
come up to meet you, tell you i'm sorry
you don't know how lovely you are
i had to find you, tell you i need you
tell you i set you apart
i don't remember how i felt
i never thought i'd live
to read about myself
in my hometown paper
how my brave young life
was forever changed
in a misty cloud of pink vapor
darlin' give me your kiss
only understand
i am the nothing man
coffee cup's on the counter, jacket's on the chair
paper's on the doorstep, but you're not there
everything is everything, but you're missing
you're missing, when i see the sun rise
you're missing, when i close my eyes
you're missing
morning is morning, the evening falls i got
too much room in my bed, too many phone calls
and did you know how much i love you
is a hope that somehow you, you
can save me from this darkness
you and me have seen everything to see
from bangkok to calgary
and the soles of your shoes are all worn down
the time for sleep is now
it's nothing to cry about
'cause we'll hold each other soon
in the blackest of rooms
if heaven and hell decide
that they both are satisfied
illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs
if there's no one beside you
when your soul embarks
then i'll follow you into the dark
