FST: That Middle Road

[nilchance]

Peter Gabriel, My Body Is a Cage
"I'm living in an age
That calls darkness light
Though my language is dead
Still the shapes fill my head..."

Oingo Boingo, Spider
"Spider crawling, I crawl with him -
We go everywhere, we see everything
We are falling, we are falling, falling to nowhere
Hope you're happy - found what you're looking for
Do you miss me, miss me at all?"

Sarah McLachlan, Building a Mystery
"You woke up screaming aloud
A prayer from your secret god
You feed off our fears
And hold back your tears, oh
Give us a tantrum
And a know it all grin
Just when we need one
When the evening's thin."

Placebo, Meds
"I was alone, staring over the ledge,
Trying my best not to forget,
all manner of joy, all manner of glee,
and our one heroic pledge."

Darren Hayes, Darkness
"It doesn't really matter where it all began
All I know
I got covered in darkness
Covered in darkness
Ever wonder why I never really truly connect
Although my eyes are open
I can hold your gaze
But I am never connected
Never connected."

Neko Case, Furnace Room Lullaby
"I'm wrapped in the depths of these deeds that have made me
I can't bring a sound from my head though I try
I can't seem to find my way up from the basement
A demon holds my place on earth 'till I die
All night, all I hear, all I hear's your heart
How come, how come?"

Orgy, Blue Monday
"And I still find it so hard
To say what I need to say
But I'm quite sure that you'll tell me
Just how I should feel today."

The Airborne Toxic Event, Sometime Around Midnight
"Then you walk, under the streetlights.
And you’re too drunk to notice,
that everyone is staring at you.
You just don’t care what you look like,
the world is falling around you."

Cursive, From the Hips
"I'm in my worst when I'm at my best
I'm at my best when I'm trying to look and think and talk
And sing and read and write like all the rest
We're all just trying to play our roles
In a play that runs ad nauseum
I hate this damn enlightenment
We were better off as animals."

Grateful Dead, Touch of Grey
"Oh well, a touch of grey
Kind of suits you anyway
That was all I had to say
And it's all right
I will get by
I will get by
I will get by
I will survive."

The Cure, Lovesong
"However far away, I will always love you
However long I stay, I will always love you
Whatever words I say, I will always love you
I will always love you."

Foo Fighters, Everlong
"And I wonder
When I sing along with you
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again
The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You've got to promise not to stop when I say when."

Bif Naked, Crash and Burn
"If I am alive for the first time.
I must have died inside
so I could let go
of things that weren't mine."

Nick Cave, Are You the One I've Been Waiting For
"As you've been moving surely toward me
My soul has comforted and assured me
That in time my heart it will reward me
And that all will be revealed
So I've sat and I've watched an ice-age thaw
Are you the one that I've been waiting for?"

Mmm, the ones I know, I love. *taking a bunch*

Thank you!

I especially find the Foo Fighters quote apt. I actuall thought about AKB and Middle Road the last time I heard everlong. Promising not to stop when "i say when" is the essence of dom/sub (unless "when" is the safe word)>

[nilchance.livejournal.com]

Yesss. Exactly what I love about it. Thank you!

I must admit, i was disappointed when I got the email notification for the tag "akb" and there was no fic accompanying the post, but this mix is awesome. Thanks so much!!!

Sorry for the false alarm! I'm really struggling with the next chapter. However, there's sidesteps with pegging and Misha and such that should be done soon?

Snagged Peter Gabriel. Thank you.

It is always great to see someone rec Boingo!

[nilchance.livejournal.com]

Oh man, I love Boingo. I used to write Boingo RPS. Good times.

I just realized, accidentally, that a mash-up of Spiders & In Your Room (by Depeche Mode) sounds really good

:D

I've heard "My Body is a Cage" before but it was by Arcade Fire. I love their version, but man this version you have is freakin' AMAZING. I'm a sucker for violins.
