precious things: a season 7 mix

[verity]

Not sure if I'm going to have the fic I'm working on all polished up by tonight, but here's a mix to start off your day... <3

title: precious things
mixer/artist: verity
era: season 6







tracks:
the robin's jar (my brightest diamond)
wandering star (portishead)
caterpillar (unwound)
i'll be yours (placebo)
dilaudid (the mountain goats)
sleeping beauty (a perfect circle)
it's you (pj harvey)
do I disappoint you (rufus wainwright)
precious things (tori amos)




the robin's jar (my brightest diamond)
I wished to be just like my best friend
She was the brightest star in the room
Yeah, but we didn't know what we had

With the world pressing in
On her backyard
She fell backwards

We prayed to God above
That He'd bring her back to us
So we put her in a box
We put her in a box
And waited
For something to happen
But nothing happened

And Mama made me bury her
Mama made me bury her in the backyard



wandering star (portishead)
 Those who have seen the needles eye, now tread,
Like a husk, from which all that was now has fled,
And the masks, that the monsters wear,
To feed, upon their prey.
 
Wandering stars,
For whom it is reserved,
The blackness of darkness, forever,
Wandering stars,
For whom it is reserved,
The blackness of darkness, forever.



caterpillar (unwound)
i am here, i am numb, am not a human being
i have limbs, i have loves, and a heart of swords
could you understand, digest it a while?
know i can, know i can
i have it down, but i can't see myself



i'll be yours (placebo)
I'll be your liquour bathing your soul
Juice that's pure
And I'll be your anchor you'll never leave
Shores that cure
Well I've seen you suffer, I've seen you cry for days and days
So I'll be your liquour demons will drown
And float away



dilaudid (the mountain goats)
'cause you just can't do
things your body wasn't meant to.
hike up your fishnets.
I know you.



sleeping beauty (a perfect circle)
Delusional
I believe I can cure it all for you, dear
Coax or trick or drive or
drag the demons from you
Make it right for you, sleeping beauty
Truly thought
I can magically heal you



it's you (pj harvey)
Oh dear sweet mama
I'm not feeling well
Can I step out
For a little while?

But I go missing
I steal away
And I go kissing
In the alleyway
All I want to do
And all I want to grow up to be
Is all caught up with you
Look what you're doing to me



do I disappoint you (rufus wainwright)
Do I disappoint you, in just being human?
And not one of the elements, that you can light your cigar on
Why does it always have to be fire?
Why does it always have to be brimstone?
Desire
Cool this body down

Do I disappoint you, in just being lonely?
And not one of the elements that you can call your one and only
Why does it always have to be water?
Why does it always have to be holy wine?
Destruction
Of all mankind

And do I disappoint you?
Do I disappoint you in just being like you?



precious things (tori amos)
So I ran faster
But it caught me here
Yes my loyalties turned
Like my ankle
In the seventh grade
Running after BILLY
Running after the rain

These precious things
Let them bleed
Let them wash away
These precious things
Let them break their hold over me

I really love your selection of songs. I think it's a great mix that flows well, and I think that you picked songs with lyrics that work really well. Also, I have at least *counts* two of these songs but I have heard all of them! I'll download when I'm not in my dual-boot. ♥

Aww, thank you bb! <3

Yay! A mix! I love mixes! This has been my rocking out in the kitchen music for, oh, every day since you posted this. Most of these songs were new to me, but perfect lyrics are perfect, and I'm really enjoying these bands as well. :) Also, your cover! It's gorgeous!

<3 Thank you! I'm so glad you've been enjoying this one. I always have so much fun making the art for these, too.
