INTRODUCTION

We Weren’t Born To Follow – Bon Jovi
This one goes out to the man who mines for miracles
This one goes out to the ones in need
This one goes out to the sinner and the cynical
This ain’t about no apology
This road was paved by the hopeless and the hungry
This road was paved by the winds of change
Walking beside the guilty and the innocent
How will you raise your hand when they call your name?

(more…)

enjolras to combeferre: beautiful dawn – the wailin’ jennys
teach me how to see when i close my eyes / teach me to forgive and to apologize / show me how to love in the darkest dark

enjolras to courfeyrac:
i never walk alonehuey lewis and the news
it ain’t what you got it’s who you know / we take that with us wherever we go / we stick together and we have our fun / you know we’re taking our days one by one

enjolras to feuilly:
working man imagine dragons
i think that this life is darker than the view / so help me help me help me /be a little more like you

enjolras to jehan:
singpatrick wolf
just sing, from the bottom of your heart / sing, blossom every broken part […] if your voice is vanishing / if your life is shortening / you must sing, sing

enjolras to bahorel:
the fighterthe fray
the lover held her love / she begged him not to go […] but somehow they both know / he’s not coming home, coming home

enjolras to joly:
seagull – bad company
here is a man asking the question / is this really the end of the world / seagull, you must have known for a long time / the shape of things to come

enjolras to bossuet:
forever young – rod stewart
may good fortune be with you / may your guiding light be strong / build a stairway to heaven / with a prince or a vagabond

enjolras to grantaire:
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

amyfanmix

1. Amy’s Theme – Murray Gold
[instrumental]

2. Fireflies – Faith Hill
Before I grew up I saw you on a cloud
I could bless myself in your name and pat you on your wings
Before I grew up I heard you whisper so loud
“Life is hard, and so is love, child, believe in all these things”

3. My Imaginary Friend – Reel Big Fish
Maybe there is something wrong with me
I don’t see what they see
Used to fold my hands and close my eyes
And think that you were with me
Now there’s something wrong
It doesn’t seem to make much sense
I just feel so stupid now, how could I believe it?


My imaginary friend didn’t come through in the end
So now I have to find a real one

4. Paradise – Coldplay
When she was just a girl
She expected the world
But it flew away from her reach
So she ran away in her sleep
Dreamed of para- para- paradise
[…]

So lying underneath those stormy skies.
She said oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.
I know the sun must set to rise

5. I’ll Try – Jonatha Brooke
I am not a child now.
I can take care of myself.
I mustn’t let them down now-
Mustn’t let them see me cry.
I’m fine, I’m fine.
I’m too tired to listen.
I’m too old to believe:
All these childish stories.
There is no such thing as faith, and trust,
And pixie dust.
I try,
But it’s so hard to believe

6. Anything But Ordinary – Avril Lavigne
Sometimes I get so weird
I even freak myself out
I laugh myself to sleep
It’s my lullaby
Sometimes I drive so fast
Just to feel the danger
I wanna scream
It makes me feel alive

7. Never Seen Blue – Tori Amos
You’ll finally be that woman, yes
Finally be that woman
That’s been frozen in the pretty silver gown
Yes
And I’ve never seen blue
Like the blues he drives
In and around
And through me again

8. Adult Lullaby – Mediaeval Baebes
Lollay, lollay little child
Child, lollay, lullow
You have come into
An alien world

9. Pretty Face – Soley
I see my pretty face in his old eyes
I listen to our blood run side by side
I throw my hands to you
I runaway
It’s so cold so dangerous that I can’t stay

10. Amy’s Starless Life – Murray Gold
[instrumental]

11. You Give Me Something – James Morrison
I was meant to tread the water
But now I’ve gotten in too deep
For every piece of me that wants you
Another piece backs away
You give me something
That makes me scared alright
This could be nothing
But I’m willing to give it a try
Please give me something
Because someday I might know my heart

12. Everyone’s Gotta Learn Sometime – Beck
Change your heart
Look around you
Change your heart
It will astound you
I need your lovin’
Like the sunshine
Everybody’s gotta learn sometime

13. Hang Me Up To Dry – Cold War Kids
Now hang me up to dry
You wrung me out
Too, too, too many times
Now hang me up to dry
I’m pearly like the white
Wh-whites of your eyes

14. Thoughts of Flight – Edmund [Arthur Darvill’s band]

One more day of perfect terror
Close my eyes and I’m still there
Wrapped in water
My eyes explode from all this light
The taste the smell into the night
I can hear a symphony
A perfect crystal melody
And I just can’t stop smiling at you
I just can’t stop smiling

15. Sometimes You Can’t Make It On Your Own – U2
Hey now, still gotta let you know
A house does not make a home
Don’t leave me here alone
And it’s you when I look in the mirror
And it’s you that makes it hard to let go
Sometimes you can’t make it on your own
Sometimes you can’t make it
The best you can do is to fake it
Sometimes you can’t make it on your own

16. Gone, Gone, Gone – Phillip Phillips
Baby, I’m not moving on,
I’ll love you long after you’re gone
You will never sleep alone
I’ll love you long after you’re gone
Love you long after you’re gone, gone, gone
You’re my back bone
You’re my cornerstone
You’re my crutch when my legs stop moving

17. Howl – Florence + The Machine
If you could only see the beast you’ve made of me
I held it in but now it seems you’ve set it running free
Screaming in the dark, I howl when we’re apart
drag my teeth across your chest to taste your beating heart

18. The Apocalypse Song – St Vincent
Wait
I’ll be swifter than the speed of light
Carbon my body a billion years of time
You wake with the stitches over both your eyes
And deny me my body and all earthly delights
It’s time
You are light
I guess you are afraid of what everyone is made of

19. Hurt – Johnny Cash
I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar’s chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I am still right here

20. Young and Beautiful – Lana del Ray
Will you still love me
When I’m no longer young and beautiful?
Will you still love me
When I got nothing but my aching soul?
I know you will, I know you will
I know that you will

21. The World Spins Madly On – The Weepies
I let the day go by
I always say goodbye
I watch the stars from my window sill
The whole world is moving and I’m standing still
[…]

The night is here and the day is gone
And the world spins madly on
I thought of you and where you’d gone
And the world spins madly on

22. Love Will Tear Us Apart – Joy Division
When routine bites hard,
And ambitions are low,
And resentment rides high,
But emotions won’t grow,
And we’re changing our ways,
Taking different roads.
Then love, love will tear us apart again.
Love, love will tear us apart again.
Why is the bedroom so cold?

23. You Can’t Uneat The Apple – My Life Story
Every silver lining trails a cloud
When all your hopes can turn to doubts
And now you’ve turned away
You turned away
But I can face it
I know that it’s all better know
And I know that we’re all through
But you can’t uneat the apple now
But I want to say
Thank you

24. Together Or Not At All – Murray Gold
[instrumental]

25. Unwritten – Natasha Bedingfield
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten
