The Social Network Big Bang Fanmix

other worlds or a life I felt passing through mine | say goodbye (to the world you thought you lived in) fanmix

young man theme | balmorhea
instrumental

--
when we knew no different | ben woods
instrumental

you are a tourist | death cab for cutie
cause when you find yourself the villain / in the story you have written / it's plain to see / that sometimes the best intentions / are in need of redemption

is it wicked not to care? | belle & sebastian
but if there was a sequel / would you love me as an equal? / would you love me till I'm dead

--
a dream upon waking | jon brion
instrumental

rest of years (demo) | the national
all in time, but you fade away from me love / they can't see what I can see / turned away from me / I can turn everything around

the shrine / an argument | fleet foxes
I'm not one to ever pray for mercy / or to wish on pennies in the fountain or the shrine / but that day you know I left my money / and I thought of you only / all that copper glowing fine

--
jynweythek ylow | aphex twin
instrumental

sounds familiar | the weakerthans

before I spill the things I mean to hide away, or gouge my eyes with platitudes of sentiment, I'll drown the urge for permanence and certainty; crouch down and scrawl my name with yours in wet cement.

come and find me | josh ritter
though I'm here in this far off place / my air is not this time and space / I draw you close with every breath

--
home | explosions in the sky
instrumental

love love love | the mountain goats
love is gonna lead you by the hand / into a white and soundless place / now we see this / as in a mirror dimly / then we shall see each other / face to face

lover's dream | anna ternheim
maybe I could be yours / maybe you could be mine / god, I waited so long / maybe my time has come / to walk by your side

--
time travel | michael andrews
instrumental

history (repeats itself) | a.o.s.
history repeats itself / coiling down into the future / when it's one second to twelve / the hands touch and furrow deeper

not your year | the weepies
breathe through it, write a list of desires / make a toast, make a wish, slash some tires / paint a heart repeating, beating "don't give up, don't give up, don't give up."

--
you may emerge from this more dead than alive | hammock
instrumental

the sword & the pen | regina spektor
so what if nothing is safe / so what if no one is saved / no matter how sweet / no matter how brave / what if each to his own lonely grave

return to me | matthew ryan
I have been the worst of kinds / a sorrowed heart / a cluttered mind / and I'm thinkin' that I could change this / that I could change this / but I can't change this

--
drove through ghosts to get here | 65daysofstatic
instrumental

pause the tragic ending | rachael yamagata
draw me under, cut me open / take my heart, I give it to you / call the thunder and bring the storm / hold me close, I beg of you / and pause the tragic ending / for just a moment more

any other world | mika
so I smiled and tried to mean it / to let myself let go / cos it's all in the hands of a bitter, bitter man / say goodbye to the world you thought you lived in

fanmixer's notes

At first, it seemed like a daunting task to create a fanmix inspired by the work of the crazy talented K/hitlikehammers. So imagine my surprise (and relief) when the mix flowed out with only a few minor hitches. Credit must go to K, who wrote a gorgeous fic. I took my cues from her, from her choice of point of view character to the way she developed the narrative. I've arranged this to mimic the emotional arc of Mark – and of his and Eduardo's relationship – as Mark goes through the process of setting things right/getting Wardo back only to lose him right after, again and again and again and again. I can only hope I succeeded somewhat in evoking say goodbye (to the world you thought you lived in)'s mood and events and general greatness.

Title taken from 'Other Lives and Dimensions and Finally a Love Poem', by Bob Hicock.

Here when I say 'I never want to be without you,'
somewhere else I am saying
'I never want to be without you again.' And when I touch you
in each of the places we meet

in all of the lives we are, it’s with hands that are dying
and resurrected.
When I don’t touch you it’s a mistake in any life,
in each place and forever.

This is absolutely beautiful! I think you did a great job capturing the story with your music selections, and I especially loved the instrumental pieces you selected (which normally I don't care for as much). Awesome!

Thanks! I'm glad that you enjoyed the mix and that, according to your estimation, I seem to have accomplished what I set out to do. ♥

So I just popped over here to download the mix again on a different computer, because I don't have it with me at the moment, but I noticed that my original comment never submitted! Which is unacceptable. So please forgive the apparent delay in my feedback.

Mostly, I just want to let you know that the mix is brilliant, it fits the mood of the story so well, and I adore it. I listen to it when I walk through campus, sometimes. It's wonderful. Thank you -- so much.

Hi, I came on over because I was curious, and this looks like a fantastic mix! I'm looking forward to hearing it. (I'm terrible at remembering to comment after the fact, which is why I'm commenting now.) Thank you!
