fanmix: When The Night Is New [PJO, Rachel/Nico]

[greenconverses]

Title: When The Night Is New (EP)
Fandom: Percy Jackson and the Olympians
Subject: Rachel/Nico
Warnings: None
Notes: Happy New Year! I've been on a jazz kick lately, and jazz really seems to fit both Nico and Rachel's characters. I just get a nice mental image of the two of them slow dancing to Ella Fitzgerald in a crap kitchen while Nico hums along because jazz is his secret love, okay. And if you don't like Nico/Rachel, um, enjoy a handful of smooth jazz?







01 Mona Lisa - Nat King Cole (Rachel's theme)

Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa
Men have named you
You're so like the lady with the mystic smile
Is it only cause you're lonely
They have blamed you
For that Mona Lisa strangeness in your smile

Do you smile to tempt a lover, Mona Lisa
Or is this your way to hide a broken heart
Many dreams have been brought to your doorstep
They just lie there, and they die there
Are you warm, are you real, Mona Lisa
Or just a cold and lonely, lovely work of art


02 Everything Happens to Me - Chet Baker (Nico's theme)

Everything happens to me
I never miss a thing
I've had the measels and the mumps
And every time I play an ace
My partner always trumps
Guess I'm just a fool who never looks before he jumps


03 You Don't Know Me - Ray Charles (the first time they realize they might have potential together)

You give your hand to me
And then you say, "Hello."
And I can hardly speak,
My heart is beating so,
And anyone can tell
You think you know me well -
Well, you don't know me.
(no, you don't know me)

No, you don't know the one
Who dreams of you at night,
And longs to kiss your lips
And longs to hold you tight.
Oh-oh, I'm just a friend,
That's all I've ever been -
'Cause you don't know me.
(no, you don't know me)


04 I'll Be Seeing You - Billie Holiday (Nico/Rachel's theme song)

I'll be seeing you
In every lovely summer's day;
In every thing that's light and gay.
I'll always think of you that way.

I'll find you
In the morning sun
And when the night is new.
I'll be looking at the moon,
But I'll be seeing you.


05 You Really Got A Hold On Me - Percy Sledge (Their second theme)

I don't like you
But I love you
Seems that I'm always
Thinking of you
Oh, oh, oh
You treat me badly
I love you madly
You've really got a hold on me
You've really got a hold on me, baby

I don't want you
But I need you
Don't want to kiss you
But I need you
Oh, oh, oh
You do me wrong now
My love is strong now
You've really got a hold on me
You've really got a hold on me, baby


06 Moon River - Patty Page (Breakfast at Tiffany's is their favorite movie ♥)

Two drifters, off to see the world
There’s such a lot of world to see
We’re after the same rainbow’s end, waitin’ ’round the bend
My huckleberry friend, moon river, and me

Nico's theme is flawless- even though I've never heard it before the lyrics fit. Nice mix :)

Thank you!

Billie Holiday. BILLIE FREAKING HOLIDAY! I love it. Sending you internet cookies for that alone.

[greenconverses.livejournal.com]

I tried to get the Ella Fitzgerald version of "Everything Happens to Me" but I couldn't find any. ;__; But I'm glad you like the Billie Holiday!

[greenconverses.livejournal.com]

Hope you like it! :D

A jazz mix? Now there's a genre I don't have too much of, so downloading!

[greenconverses.livejournal.com]

I need to get more jazz! It's really soothing after a long day.

[xinvisiblewings.livejournal.com]

LOVE YOUR GENRE PICK. Their theme songs are perfect.

[greenconverses.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I hope you enjoy!

When I was younger I used to listen to classic smooth jazz to fall asleep. To this day it's just a beautiful relaxing thing to me... a hard emotion to explain, but jazz makes me feel peaceful.

Mona Lisa is so perfect for Rachel. ♥ Downloading like woah, I've been meaning to expand my jazz library (which at the moment is completely pathetic) for ages. :D Thanks bb x

[greenconverses.livejournal.com]

My jazz library is still pathetic. I just put my Pandora station on and listen instead.

I hope you enjoy!

Yay! You Don't Know Me is one of my favourite Jazz songs everrrr. I love the song choices on here and I agree that Jazz is a genre that just really seems to fit the pairing.

Of course Nico loves Jazz, he gets it from his mum okay?

[greenconverses.livejournal.com]

I really really wanted the John Legend version of You Don't Know Me, but I couldn't find it anywhere but on YouTube. ;__;

[poptartmuse.livejournal.com]

this is beautiful dear! definitely suits them--that slow burn that smooth jazz seems to inspire is just, hnnngh, wonderful!

[greenconverses.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :D

[maplelump.livejournal.com]

Downloading right now. Damn, I've downloaded FIVE fanmixes today! :D

[greenconverses.livejournal.com]

Clearly you are a mix CHAMP today. I hope you enjoy them all!

[maplelump.livejournal.com]

What can I say? Mom forced me to stay home from the barn today, so all I did was draw and read fanfiction/download fanmixes, it was a good day. :D

[xinvisiblewings.livejournal.com]

This is me being a comment stalker, but do you horseback ride? Because that is exactly what I do when my mom forces me to not go to the barn xD

[jessikacast.livejournal.com]

Nice!

[greenconverses.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Enjoy!

[genki-geek.livejournal.com]

Nico/Rachel + jazz = ULTIMATE LOVE!!! :D I'm holding you completely responsible for making me fall in love with this ship :P

[greenconverses.livejournal.com]

I think everyone blames me for that, lol. I hope you like the mix!

[angel-2606.livejournal.com]

OF COURSE we blame you for that. I want to say that you were the one who thought up the ship and then we all went "Nico/Rachel?! Whut?! Oh wait, that could TOTALLY work...."

[genki-geek.livejournal.com]

Gawd "Mona Lisa" is perfect for Rachel. Excellent choice! :D

[ceryni-10.livejournal.com]

AHH! Just what I need in my life right now :) DLin

[greenconverses.livejournal.com]

I hope you enjoy!

I guess I'm not the first to say that this is genius, right? The fandom needs more jazz. Thank you for putting it together.

[greenconverses.livejournal.com]

No problem! I hope you like it. :)

[rianax.livejournal.com]

I love the redhead you use for the cover-- where did you find it?

[lovelysolitude.livejournal.com]

My favorite is You Really Got A Hold On Me. I've always thought this is the perfect song for them! The whole mix is amazing. :D
