dearest: a fanmix for epicflailer's "like all good fairytales"

[ciudad]

again, for epicflailer's amazing Like All Good Fairytales (cook/archuleta). 2nd of 2 posts: a cover | a fanmix

notes: there are six songs for the entire story, and three songs for each of the five sections for a total of 21 songs. i swear i'll get the individual tracks up soon, but for now you can download the entire thing off mediafire :3 eta: all individual tracks and the zipfile are now up at mediafire! also, somewhat graphics-heavy, so dial-uppers take heed!

etax2: all files have been removed from mediafire :( i've uploaded the full mix to megaupload, but if you want individual tracks, just comment and i'll upload them for you.




dearest
a like all good fairytales mix


once upon a time

1. The Boy Least Likely To - A Fairytale Ending
when I was young I was valiant and bold

2. Dave Carter and Tracy Grammer - Tanglewood Tree
but love is a voice on the wind,
(this longing is a voice on the wind)

3. Teddy Geiger - Brand New Colony
i want to take you far
from the cynics in this town
and kiss you on the mouth


snow white fell in love with dopey

4. Sparklehorse - Some Sweet Day
i was the one who loved you most
but you can't put your arms around a ghost

5. Alphabeat - Digital Love
ooh i don't know what to do
about this dream and you
i wish this dream comes true

6. Elbow - One Day Like This
'cause holy cow, i love your eyes
and only now i see the light
yeah, lying with me half-awake
oh, anyway, it's looking like a beautiful day


cinderella realized that happily ever after takes work

7. Vienna Teng - Leaving On A Jet Plane
every place i go i think of you
ever song i sing i sing for you
when i come back I'll wear your wedding ring

8. Jim Sturgess - All My Lovin'
close your eyes and i'll kiss you
tomorrow i'll miss you

9. Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat - Lucky
as the world keep spinning round
you hold me right here right now


peter pan grew up

10. Athlete - Wires
i see hope is here in a plastic box
i've seen christmas lights reflect in your eyes

11. Bic Runga - When I See You Smile
it's not for anybody else to know
the way your face could light the bitter dark of every street
in every town i'll ever go

12. The Mountain Goats - Thank You Mario But Our Princess Is In Another Castle
just when my solitude was closing in
i heard a howl like screeching tires
and i told you the one thing i know how to say
through the bright ringing drone of eight-bit choirs


prince charming found that sleeping beauty was different awake

13. Imogen Heap - The Walk
i feel a weakness coming on

14. Placebo - Every You Every Me
pucker up for heaven's sake
there's never been so much at stake

15. Regina Spektor - On The Radio
this is how it works
you peer inside yourself
you take the things you like
and try to love the things you took
and then you take that love you made
and stick it into some--
someone else's heart
pumping someone else's blood


the little mermaid never got to sing

16. Joan Armatrading - Everyday Boy
just an hour with you
and i understand
why we had to meet

17. Barenaked Ladies - Be My Yoko Ono
if i was john and you were yoko
i would gladly give up musical genius
just to have you as my very own
personal venus

18. Barry Louis Polisar - All I Want Is You
all I want is you, will you be my bride?
take me by the hand and stand by my side
all I want is you, will you stay with me?
hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea


and they lived happily ever after

19. Massive Attack - Teardrop
love is a doing word
fearless on my breath
gentle impulsion
shakes me makes me lighter

20. Ani DiFranco - Falling Is Like This
we can't fight gravity on a planet that insists
that love is like falling
and falling is like this

21. Dido - Look No Further
i can stop and catch my breath
and look no further for happiness
and i will not turn again
'cause my heart has found its home

i - fuck. fuck, i swear to you, just this morning i was looking at someone's post on how to do up your own soundtracks, and i was thinking to myself, god, i will never be able to do that, maybe i can send out a plea on my birthday for someone to soundtrack one of my stories--

AND THEN GUESS WHAT I SEE IN MY INBOX TONIGHT. GUESS FUCKING WHAT. OH WAIT, YOU DON'T NEED TO. YOU DID IT. FUCK. THIS. I AM DOWNLOADING IT RIGHT THE FUCK NOW AND THEN PUTTING IT ON REPEAT WHILE I READ MY STORY THROUGH ONE MORE TIME, TO HELL WITH NARCISSISM. THIS DEMANDS IT.

Is there any chance you could re-upload? I love the tracklist for this mix, but mediafire says the files are expired.

[descartes]

Thanks for the heads up! I've uploaded the entire zip to megaupload, but if you'd like certain tracks, just tell me so I can upload them (my internet tends to cut off annoyingly at unfortunate times, meh).

[kiezh.livejournal.com]

That worked - thank you very much!
