fanmix: When The Lights Go Out [The Hunger Games, general]

[greenconverses]

Title: When The Lights Go Out
Fandom: The Hunger Games
Subject: General mix for Mockingjay, but some songs can be focused on Peeta/Katniss and Finnick/Annie
Warnings: Spoilers spoilers spoilers
Notes: I heard "We'll Be A Dream" on the radio the other day, and I thought it fit perfectly for the epilogue, so I decided to do a full mix which mostly started out with me looking for my MAXIMUM ANGST songs and trimming the list from there. Broken into four parts with a handful of songs for each part of the book.








Part I: The Ashes

01 Get Up, Get Up, Get Up - Barcelona

Crawling on the ash, she’s pitiful.
She lost her sense of light; she has to hold my hand.
Had I known we might be two kids without their jackets.
My fear would come alive, I wouldn’t love her now.
She might not make home tonight.

Get up
Get up
Get up


02 The Unwinding Cable Car - Anberlin

Emotive unstable you're like an unwinding cable car
Listening for voices, but it's the choices that make us who we are
Go your own way, even seasons have changed just burn those new leaves over


03 Not Ready to Make Nice - Dixie Chicks

Forgive, sounds good
Forget, I’m not sure I could
They say time heals everything
But I’m still waiting

I’m through with doubt
There’s nothing left for me to figure out
I’ve paid a price
And I’ll keep paying

I’m not ready to make nice
I’m not ready to back down
I’m still mad as hell and
I don’t have time to go round and round and round
It’s too late to make it right
I probably wouldn’t if I could
‘Cause I’m mad as hell
Can’t bring myself to do what it is you think I should


04 Everything Burns - Anastacia ft. Ben Moody

She sits in her corner
Singing herself to sleep
Wrapped in all of the promises
That no one seems to keep
She no longer cries to herself,
No tears left to wash away
Just diaries of empty pages,
Feelings gone astray
But she will sing

'Till everything burns
While everyone screams
Burning their lies
Burning my dreams
All of this hate
And all of this pain
I'll burn it all down
As my anger reigns
'Till everything burns


05 Only One - Yellowcard

Broken this fragile thing now
And I can't, I can't pick up the pieces
And I've thrown my words all around
But I can't, I can't give you a reason
I feel so broken up (so broken up)
And I give up (I give up)
I just want to tell you so you know

Here I go, scream my lungs out and try to get to you
You are my only one
I let go, but there's just no one who gets me like you do
You are my only, my only one


Part II: The Assault

06 Kristy Are You Doing OK? - The Offspring

Can you stay strong?
Can you go on?
Kristy are you doing okay?
A rose that won’t bloom
Winter’s kept you
Don’t waste your whole life trying
To get back what was taken away


07 The First One - Boys Like Girls

Even though you're gone and far away
I feel you all around
I think about it every single day
You got away somehow

I can't sleep, it's hard to breathe
And I still feel you next to me
Now I can see

The first one is the worst one
When it comes to a broken heart


08 Love the Way You Lie - Eminem ft. Rihanna

You ever love somebody so much
You can barely breathe
When you're with them
You meet and neither one of you even know what hit 'em
Got that warm fuzzy feeling
Yeah them chills used to get 'em
Now you're getting fucking sick of looking at 'em
You swore you've never hit 'em
Never do nothing to hurt 'em
Now you're in each other's face
spewing venomin your words when you spit them
You push, pull each other's hair, scratch, claw, hit ‘em
Throw ‘em, down pin ‘em
So lost in the moments when you're in ‘em


Part III: The Assassin

09 Leave Out All The Rest - Linkin Park

Don't be afraid
I've taken my beating
I've shared what I've made
I'm strong on the surface
Not all the way through
I've never been perfect
But neither have you
So if you're asking me I want you to know

When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed
Don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest


10 Broken - Seether ft. Amy Lee

I wanted you to know that I love the way you laugh
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away
I keep your photograph and I know it serves me well
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain

Because I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away


11 Better Days - The Goo Goo Dolls

I need some place simple where we could live
and something only you could give
and that's faith and trust and peace while we're alive
and the one poor child who saved this world
and there's ten million more who probably could
if we all just stopped and said a prayer for them

So take these words and sing out loud
'cause everyone's forgiven now
'cause tonight's the night the world begins again


Epilogue

12 We’ll Be A Dream - We The Kings ft. Demi Lovato

When the lights go out
We'll be safe and sound
We'll take control of the world
Like it's all we have to hold on to
And we'll be

When the lights go out
We'll be safe and sound
We'll take control of the world
Like it's all we have to hold on to
And we'll be a dream

Omg I love this♥

This:

Here I go, scream my lungs out and try to get to you
You are my only one
I let go, but there's just no one who gets me like you do
You are my only, my only one

I find perfect for Peeta and Katniss

[greenconverses.livejournal.com]

It is really perfect for them, especially for this book, and a little bit for Finnick/Annie too. Thanks for the comment!

[timbitzk.livejournal.com]

Wow, how perfect is Not Ready to Make Nice? Nice mix :)

[greenconverses.livejournal.com]

It's such a good song for this book - I originally had in mind for Katniss, but then when I listened to it again, I decided it fit Gale's character so much better. Thanks for the comment!
