Rise Up – a(nother) Enjolras / Grantaire fanmix
SO Tumblr is like the worst place ever for uploading fanmixes because I wanted to stick all these DEEP AND MEANINGFUL lyrics under a readmore tag but I couldn’t I could but it looked ugly so Livejournal gets it too. (Here it is on Tumblr.)
Enjolras/Grantaire is very overfanmixed as a ship but what the heck, I wanted a mix of my very own! You can listen to it on 8tracks, or I’ve stuck links to Youtube on all the songs.
PART ONE – GRANTAIRE
YOU RAISE ME UP > JOSH GROBAN
There is no life – no life without its hunger;
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up… To more than I can be.
LOVE TO LOVE > THE MONKEES
You can’t love someone
If you find that all you get in return
Is a heart that’s cold
They say you need love to love
You gotta have love to love
They all say it works that way.
But if it’s true,
Why do I love you?
I WANT TO KNOW YOUR PLANS > SAY ANYTHING
I want to know your fear, from your feet to the back of your ears
When they raise the landing gear will your heart stay here?
If you could forgive me for being so brash
Well you could hit me or whip me, I’d savor each lash.
You’re what keeps me believing the world’s not gone dead
Strength in my bones put the words in my head
I JUST WANNA BE LOVED > AM RADIO
I just want to be lost
in a crowded room
So I don’t have to hear
your point of view
You know I don’t care
about what you say…
I just wanna be loved
I just wanna be loved by you
A CASE OF YOU > JONI MITCHELL
Oh I am a lonely painter
I live in a box of paints
I’m frightened by the devil
And I’m drawn to those ones that ain’t afraid
I remember that time you told me you said
“Love is touching souls”
Surely you touched mine
‘Cause part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time
Oh, you’re in my blood like holy wine
SHIVER > COLDPLAY
And it’s you I see, but you don’t see me.
And it’s you I hear, so loud and so clear
I sing it loud and clear
And I’ll always be waiting for you.
So I look in your direction,
But you pay me no attention,
And you know how much I need you,
But you never even see me
FALLS ON ME > FUEL
And all of your weight
All you dream
Falls on me it falls on me
And your beautiful sky
The light you bring
Falls on me it falls on me
Your faith like the pain
Draws me in again
FAR AWAY > NICKELBACK
I keep dreaming you’ll be with me
and you’ll never go
Stop breathing if
I don’t see you anymore…
On my knees, I’ll ask
Last chance for one last dance
‘Cause with you, I’d withstand
All of hell to hold your hand
SOMEONE TO DIE FOR > JIMY GNECCO feat BRIAN MAY
I’m drunk when sober
The room is spinning
You are what I hold on to
You’re taking over
I find that giving in is the best I can do
Someone to die for
Someone to fall into when the world goes dark
Someone to die for
Someone to tear a hole in this endless night
LOVE IS FOREVER > MUSE
The world is broken
Halos fail to glisten
You try to make a difference
But no one wants to listen…
Love is forever
And we’ll die, we’ll die together
I WILL FOLLOW YOU INTO THE DARK > DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE
Love of mine some day you will die
But I’ll be close behind
I’ll follow you into the dark
No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark
THE STATUE GOT ME HIGH > THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS
The statue got me high
The statue got me high
The monument of granite sent a beam into my eye
The statue made me die
The statue made me die
It took my hand it killed me and it turned me to the sky
THERE IS A LIGHT THAT NEVER GOES OUT > THE SMITHS
And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten-ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure – the privilege is mine
RUN > SNOW PATROL
I’ll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You’ve been the only thing that’s right
In all I’ve done…
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I’ll be right beside you, dear
WHO WANTS TO LIVE FOREVER > SARAH BRIGHTMAN
There’s no chance for us,
It’s all decided for us,
This world has only one sweet moment
Set aside for us
Who wants to live forever?
Who wants to live forever?
Now touch my tears with your lips
Touch my world with your fingertips
And we can have forever
And we can love forever
PART TWO – ENJOLRAS
MEANT TO LIVE > SWITCHFOOT
Fumbling his confidence
And wondering why the world has passed him by
Hoping that he’s bent for more than arguments
And failed attempts to fly
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
ALL EYES > IMAGINE DRAGONS
Everything you say
Is just a lie
And now I’m leaving
To the city where the people
Are awake to chase a dream…
This is a call
That’s all
You’ll ever get from me
NEVER TAKE FRIENDSHIP PERSONAL > AMBERLIN
Once a skeptic, now the critic
And you think that you finally found a place of your own
Amongst the cold and timid souls
Where only failure knows your name…
Innocence gone, never take friendship personal
If you can’t hold yourself together
Why should I hold you now?
THERE’S A WALL > MIRANDA LAMBERT
And there’s a wall
Standing here between us
And that’s all that’s keeping you from freedom
And I keep pushing harder and you keep getting stronger
You won’t break cause you’re afraid you’ll fall
And there’s a wall
I LOVE YOU COS I HAVE TO > DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS
Green are my eyes, they’ve seen so much compassion
I couldn’t have changed but too much suffering inside so now I’m said and done
(I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you ’cause I have to)
I love you ’cause I have to
Make everything OK
I love you ’cause I have to
Go away
WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF? > WEST INDIAN GIRL
What are you fighting for?
To feel them all
What are you dying for?
To be free…
There’s no chance of losing
When there’s no chance at all
As time goes by, I forget why
From a distant view it might still be true
There’s a part of me that lives for you.
IT ENDS TONIGHT > THE ALL-AMERICAN REJECTS
When darkness turns to light
It ends tonight, it ends tonight
A falling star, at least I fall alone
I can’t explain what you can explain
You’re finding things that you didn’t know
I look at you with such disdain
The walls start breathing, my mind’s unweaving
Maybe it’s best you leave me alone
OPEN YOUR EYES > SNOW PATROL
The anger swells in my guts
And I won’t feel these slices and cuts
I want so much to open your eyes
‘Cause I need you to look into mine
Tell me that you’ll open your eyes…
Get up, get out, get away from these liars
‘Cause they don’t get your soul or your fire
Take my hand, knot your fingers through mine
And we’ll walk from this dark room for the last time
AFTER THE STORM > MUMFORD AND SONS
And I took you by the hand
And we stood tall,
And remembered our own land,
What we lived for
And there will come a time,
you’ll see, with no more tears.
And love will not break your heart,
but dismiss your fears
WHEN ALL AROUND HAS FALLEN > DELIRIOUS
Though all your hopes have fallen your skin is now your only armour
Wear your scars like medals defender of the faith
Come, come lay your weary head be still my friend
Come, rise I’ll place my sword upon your shoulder
Come, come lay your faithful head, be still my friend
Come rise with me
