12) Relient K - Savannah
(I know you'll be there cause you'll know I'll want you to be there / And we'll say hello as you're smiling in love)

When I saw both She Wants Revenge AND Apoptygma Beserk on this mix I got extremely excited, because those are two bands I adore and I don't find that many people know who they are. The mix went on to exceed expectatations from there - just look at those lyrics up there, they are the soundtrack to this fic. Absolutely.

Heart Skipped A Beat, Feeling A Moment and Wish I Was Someone Better get right into Gerard's head, with all his baggage, uncertainty and shame he's still shouldering from the past.

It's Just Begun is the wrap party all over, people hooking up left and right, and In This Together is Pete and Patrick's situation to a tee, fighting their mad attraction. Won't Turn Back and Nature's Law shift gears into determination and acceptance and Casey's Song shakes me to my feet, the lyrics are so gorgeous and for me it really is Gerard clutching that invitation and everything he's feeling at that moment.

Finishing on Savannah is such a high and I can only hope the fic inspires the same kind of feeling as that song. This really is a wonderful mix and it's given me a whole lot of new favourite songs while making me squee to see some ones I know and love. Thanks so much
