Bandom Reverse Big Bang Mix - A Highway That Leads To The End



A Highway That Leads To The End - A Mix by [livejournal.com profile] ladyfoxxx
[Mediafire download] [Sendspace download]

01. End Of The World - Dead By Sunrise
It's the end of the world, grab your crucifix and fall to your knees and beg God please, have mercy on me

02. Belter - Powderfinger
You go, I feel like dropping bombs between your eyes, but not today

03. If We Stay Here (Zeromancer Remix) - Mesh
We can take this world apart and make ourselves a brand new start (you know I'm right)

04. Until The End Of The World - Apoptygma Berserk
I'll stick with you until the end of the world, I cry out loud but you hear nothing

05. Save Yourself - Stabbing Westward
I cannot save you, I can't even save myself, so save yourself

06. Broken Bones - Birds Of Tokyo
I'm on a highway that leads to the end, I'm on a highway that leads to the end,
These broken bones, this busted smile, my head it hurts, I should be leaving now, I hear your words, they call my name, I won't go back you must be out of your head


07. Pictures Of You - The Cure
I've been looking so long at these pictures of you that I almost believe that they're real
I've been staring so long at these pictures of you, that I almost believe that the pictures are all I can feel


08. Sahara (feat. Koshi Inaba) - Slash
Sorry, I don't remember, anything about you / Everything is gone now, what am I gonna do?

09. Papillon - The Editors
Make our escape, you're my own Papillion / The world turns too fast, feel love before it's gone

10. Run Baby Run - Garbage
So run my baby, run my baby run / Run from the noise of the street and the loaded gun

11. Safe And Sound - Kyosuke Himuro feat. Gerard Way
And all my hopes and dreams aren't for anyone, I keep them safe and sound

12. Resistance - Muse
Love is our resistance, they'll keep us apart and they won't stop breaking us down / Hold me, our lips must always be sealed

13. The Lighthouse Song - Josh Pyke
We are moving to a lighthouse, you and I, when seas drown sailors we'll be locked up safe and dry
And though our doors may knock and rattle in the wind, I'll just hold you tight and we won't let those fuckers in


Notes: I wanted to make a mix about love at the end of the world, about finding a safe place in the storm when everything's fallen down around you, about not giving up and about finding solace in each other even when everything else is gone.

[livejournal.com profile] dr_jasley wrote a wonderful story exploring just these themes. The story ties in with the mix so beautifully - I highly recommend you listen and read in tandem. I don't know how she managed to fit so much of what I was trying to say with this mix into her story (and also so many other unexpected things present in the mix I didn't even notice) but she did and I'm so pleased. You should read it: To End and Begin Again by [livejournal.com profile] dr_jasley

I'm so glad the mix worked for you! Thanks so much for letting me know. I'm sure you've gotten to read the fic by now - it's pretty great, isn't it?

Yeah, it really is great! It was such a beautiful interpretation of what you tried to tell through the songs on your mix, and it was really touching and hopeful. The mix and the fic work so perfectly together, I'm in love with it.

The fic is one of my favorite BRBBs and the mix is one of my favorites as well! It's beautiful.

I will forever be happy that I picked this mix. <3<3 It's sooooooo well put together(I know I sound like a broken record). I'm a sucker for hopeful endings and the apoc. SO I HAD TO CHOOSE IT.

<3

I'm so pleased you picked it too! I'm still so blown away by now much of what I tried to tell with the mix you managed to get into your fic. I really loved it, and I'm SO happy you chose it! ♥

<3 The mix and the story go hand in hand and I'm PROUD of that. I kept hoping I'd done right by the tracks and hadn't missed any of the noticeable cues

This mix is fantastic. Everything flows so well and the theme is clear and the songs are GREAT. Hello new favorite playlist!

You had me at Apoptygma Berzerk (and it's a different version of the song than I'm used to! EXCELLENT). And I think If We Stay Here (Zeromancer Remix) is my new favoritest song. :D

Thank you! I played with the mix for a long time, searching for songs that said the kind of things I wanted them too, but also had the right kind of tone I was looking for. I'm so glad it spoke to you.

Ugh, that Mesh song. And I LOVE Apop! You have good taste, my friend! :D

This mix is absolutely amazing, and the story that was inspired by it definitely fits it in the most gorgeous way. Really, thank you for bringing these songs together and in order and for inspiring such a great story. The end of the world seems less unpleasant, right now <3

The story was pretty great, wasn't it? I'm so spoiled. I'm so glad you liked the mix and it worked for you. I hope it continues to get lots of play on your music player of choice! Thanks so much for letting me know. <3
