I loved my mix, so, so much! I have listened to it on repeat easily more than a dozen times. All the songs just work so well together and fit the mood of my story perfectly. vixalicious  did an awesome job and gave me a whole new appreciation for fanmixes in general.

Then I had to quote my favourite lines from each song, just because! \0/

1. Nationals - England

Put an Ocean and a river Between everything, yourself, and home
You must be somewhere in London, you must be loving your life in the rain

2. Yo La Tengo - Sometimes I don’t get you

Sometimes I don't know you
It's like we never met
And what seems fine by me
Is your littany of regrets

3. Suede - My Dark Star

And she will come from India with a love in her eyes

4. The Decemberists – Dear Avery

Headstrong, you and your long arms
Listing lazily on the cusp of your tease
But you were my Avery and when you needed saving
I could just grab you by the nape of your neck

5. The Shins – Phantom Limb

And week of rolling eyes,
And cheap shots from the trite

6. Silverchair - Waiting all day

I'll be waiting all day
I've be waiting all year
For you it's true

7. The Decemberists - The Hazards of Love 4

With this long last rush of air, we'll speak our vows of starry whisper

8. Tegan and Sara - Sentimental tune

Now with your cause and affection on my mind I won't yield throw caution into the blaze.

9. Lykke Li – Dance dance dance

Words can never make up for what you do
Easy conversations, there's no such thing
No I'm shy, shy, shy

10. Kris Allen – Falling Slowly

I don't know you
But I want you
All the more for that

11. Yeah yeah yeahs – Little Shadow

Still we're caught between all this sorrow, little shadow
To the night, will you follow me?

12. Mumford & Sons - Thistle & weeds

Spare me your judgements and spare me your dreams
Cause recently mine have been tearing my seams

And

I know you have felt much more love than you've shown

13. The Swell Season – Two tongues

Will you stay?
Here, stay around
And we'll both start
Working this out

And

You're so hard to reach
And impossible to really read

14. John Wesley Harding – I’m wrong about everything

You win the argument
At the end of every night
I never know the perfect time
To hit the bedside light

And

I'll do the best I can
To be your lover man

15. The bird and the bee – Kiss is on my list

Because your kiss is on my list of the best things in life


For art milenaa  drew me Spencer and Brendon in bed, together, after their fight. I really love how the big bed just makes the distance between them seem that much greater. Also, the muted, darker colours fit the mood of the scene really well. All in all, I couldn't have hoped for more! <3

"Even Brendon’s back, the only part of Brendon’s body that Spencer could see now, seemed rigid and angry. "


I want to thank both the artist and the mixer, again, for all the hard work they put into giving me these awesome pieces to go with my story.

I'm so glad you're enjoying the mix!

I really am! xD I'm not even lying when I say, that this morning I woke up with Dance Dance Dance playing in my head.

Also, I forgot to say in the actual entry, but I hadn't even heard of many of these artists, so I need to thank you for introducing me to new music as well. =)

[vixalicious]

Yay! New music is awesome!

[undeny.livejournal.com]

That is some awesome art. You can really feel the distance between them.

*nod nod* Yes, I thought so too. I like how it feels sort of gloomy and dejected, if that makes sense?

[aredblush.livejournal.com]

I love the colour palette in this! It really conveys te mood of the scene. Awesome work!

[oanja.livejournal.com]

I really liked the colours too, it's so fitting. (sorry for not replying earlier)

[halfeatenmoon.livejournal.com]

That is some fabulous art, from the sketchy lines to the overall shape to the shading. I really love it.

[oanja.livejournal.com]

Yes, I really couldn't have asked for more awesome art. =)
