Defenders Unseen - fanmix

[bohemia]

I'll be honest and say that this one started off as a thousand other Watchmen fanmixes I downloaded and then pieced together to fit all the characters. Then I realized I knew better songs for some of the characters, got really serious about it and then the playlist just sat on my iPod until it sounded right for each one.







Kings of Leon - Use Somebody [America]
Off in the night while you live it up I'm off to sleep
Waging wars to shake the poet and the beat

Modest Mouse - Bukowski [The Comedian]
Well all that icing and all that cake
I can't make it to your wedding
But I'm sure I'll be at your wake

Straylight Run - Mistakes We Knew We Were Making [Silk Spectre I]
So we bottled and shelved all our regrets,
Let them ferment and came back to our senses,
Drove back home and slept a few days,
Woke up and laughed at how stupid we used to be

Young Galaxy - The Alchemy Between Us [Dr. Manhattan and Silk Spectre II]
Can alchemy sustain us
While the world, it falls apart?
This instinct keeps us searching
A cure for broken hearts

The Goo Goo Dolls - Name [Rorschach]
Scars are souvenirs you never lose
The past is never far
Did you lose yourself somewhere out there
Did you get to be a star

Bloc Party - I Still Remember [Nite Owl]
You said "it's just like a full moon"
Blood beats faster in our veins
We left our trousers by the canal
And our fingers, they almost touched

Oysterband - We Could Leave Right Now [Ozymandias]
We could leave right now
Any step could be the first
Any word could be the last

Rogue Wave - Electro-Socket Blues [Dr. Manhattan]
I could kill myself
I could kill myself
Would that make your life much better?

...for some reason I felt like I'd commented on this?? BUT I GUESS NOT.

Anyway, I LOVE THIS. Everything is perfect!! I mean, everything matches who it's supposed to, but also, THESE ARE ALL AWESOME SONGS. See, this is why I love it when you make fanmixes, because I pretty much always already KNOW I'm going to dig the music. :)

OH ALSO I FORGOT TO SAY, lulz, I can't listen to "Use Somebody" anymore without thinking of that discussion we had after the Sounds concert, about me calling up my building maintenance guy when my lights fuse and singing over the phone at him. It's pretty great, I gotta say. :DD
