Fanmix: Promises
Because I aim to someday have my entire music library available for download on the interwebs. Or... something.
Download here!
Notes: So in my previous fanmix, the Yankee-kun one, I aimed for an acoustic, homegrown sound to reflect the down-to-earth, small-scale feel of Adachi and Shinagawa's little tale of shenanigans and love. Immortal Rain however, depicts a much more melodramatic, sweeping story of romance, so I tried to reflect that by concentrating on a more orchestral style of rock music.
Lyric Sampler
Keep the Car Running
Every night my dream's the same
Same old city with a different name
Then they come and they take me away
I don't know why but I know I can't stay
There's a weight that's pressing down
Late at night you can hear the sound
Even the noise you make when you sleep
Can't swim across a river so deep
They know my name cause I told it to them
But they don't know where and they don't know when
It's coming, oh when, well it's coming
Keep the car running
Fix You
Well high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
Shh
Don't make a sound, shh, listen
Keep your head down, we're not safe yet
Don't make a sound, be good for me
Cause I know they're waiting somewhere out here
Bend and Break
When you, when you forget your name
When old faces all look the same
Meet me in the morning when you wake up
Meet me in the morning then you'll wake up
Bitter and hardened heart
Aching waiting for life to start
Meet me in the morning when you wake up
Meet me in the morning then you'll wake up
If only I don't bend and break
I'll meet you on the other side
I'll meet you in the light
If only I don't bend and break
I'll meet you in the morning when you wake
I Never
I'm only a woman of flesh and bone
And I wait too much, we all do
I thought I might die alone
But I never never never never
Never never never never
Never never never met you
So baby be good to me
Better
If I kiss you where it's sore
If I kiss you where it's sore
Will you feel better better better
Will you feel anything at all?
Born like sisters to this world
In a town where ties are only blood
If you never say your name out loud to anyone
They can never ever call you by it
Take You On a Cruise
Baby won't you try to find me?
Baby won't you try to fight?
Baby won't you try to find me?
Baby it will be all right
Along the way, tears drown in the wake of delight
There's nothing like this built today
You'll never see a finer ship in your life
We sail today, tears drown in the wake of delight
There's nothing liek this built today
You'll never see a finer ship or
Recieve a better tip in your life
Somewhere Only We Know
Oh simple thing, where have you gone
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting old and I need somewhere to begin
And if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go somewhere only we know
We Will Become Silhouettes
I've got a cupboard with cans of food,
Filtered water and pictures of you
And I'm not coming out until this is all over
And I'm looking through the glass
Where the light bends at the cracks
And I'm screaming at the top of my lungs
Pretending the echoes belong to someone
Someone I used to know
And we become silhouettes when our bodies finally go
Ba ba ba...
Past in Present
The scarlet letter isn't black
Gotta know who's got your back
Because they're right in front of you
Because they're telling you the truth
So much present inside my present
Inside my present so...so much past
Inside my present, inside my present
Inside my present
So, so
Say (All I Need)
Do you know where your heart is?
Do you think you can find it?
Or did you trade it for something
Somewhere better just to have it?
Do you know where your love is?
Do you think that you lost it?
You felt it so strong, but
Nothing's turned out how you wanted
Well, bless my soul
You're a lonely soul
Cause you won't let go
Of anything you hold
Well, all I need
Is the air I breathe
And a place to rest
My head
