Fanmix for The Shannara Chronicles in Round 10 Small Fandoms Big Bang For EmTee
1. I’ll Trade You Money for Wine-Andrew Bird & Nora O’Connor
Link goes to Youtube music video <”watch”>
2. A Thousand Years-Christina Perri
Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this
One step closer
I have died every day waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more.
3. Unbreakable-Jamie Scott
If you ever turn around,
I won't let you fall down now.
I swear I'll find your smile,
And put my arms above you,
And make you unbreakable.
Cause I love, I love, I love, I love you, darling.
Yes, I love, I love, I love, I love you darling.
And I'll put my arms around you,
And make you unbreakable.
4. Head Full of Doubt /Road Full of Promise-the Avett Brothers
There's a darkness upon you that's flooded in light
And in the fine print, they tell you what's wrong and what's right
And it flies by day and it flies by night
And I'm frightened by those that don't see it
There was a dream and one day I could see it
Like a bird in a cage, I broke in and demanded that somebody free it
And there was a kid with a head full of doubt
So I'll scream until I die and the last of those bad thoughts are finally out
There was a dream and one day I could see it
Like a bird in a cage, I broke in and demanded that somebody free it
And there was a kid with a head full of doubt
So I'll scream until I die and the last of those bad thoughts are finally out.
*5. Chances-Five for Fighting
Chances are when said and done
Who'll be the lucky ones who make it all the way?
Though you say I could be your answer
Nothing lasts forever no matter how it feels today
Chances are we'll find a new equation
Chances roll away from me
Chances are all they hope to be
Don't get me wrong I'd never say never
'Cause though love can't change the weather
No act of God could pull me away from you
I'm just a realistic man, a bottle filled with shells and sand
Afraid to look beyond what I can lose when it comes to you
And though I'd see us through, yeah
Chances are we'll find two destinations
Chances roll away from me
Still, chances are more than expectations
The possibilities over me.
6. Longer than This-Dan Fogelberg
Longer than there've been fishes in the ocean
Higher than any bird ever flew
Longer than there've been stars up in the heavens
I've been in love with you
Stronger than any mountain cathedral
Truer than any tree ever grew
Deeper than any forest primeval
I am in love with you
I'll bring fire in the winters
You'll send showers in the springs
We'll fly through the falls and summers
With love on our wings
Through the years, as the fire starts to mellow
Burning lines in the book of our lives
Though the binding cracks and the pages start to yellow
I'll be in love with you
I'll be in love with you
7. Keeper of My Heart-Indigo Girls
Here is my love and anger
My arms are burning, but they're open wide
Oh, you precious kid
I have a motion just for you.
A warrior, barefoot and dancing
With tears of pain and beauty
All of this is true for you
Here is my love and anger
These are my gods, these are my scars.
Here is my love and anger
My arms are burning, but they're open wide
Pointing out the graveyards
I will be the reaper
If you will be
The keeper of my heart
8. My Hurricane-Jamie Scott
You've got the weight of the world on your shoulders
And I know You've got the weight of the world on your shoulders
But I could make you feel alive, darling
Say you wanna take a ride, honey
We could be a hurricane
Baby, come on, come on, come on
Don't you wanna start a fire, baby
You're the only light I need, darling
I can make you feel alright
9. Strange Fire-Indigo Girls I come to you with strange fire, I make an offering of love, the incense of my soil is burned by the fire in my blood. I come with a softer answer to the questions that lie in your path. I want to harbor you from the anger, find a refuge from the wrath.
This is a message of love. love that moves from the inside out, love that never grows tired. I come to you with strange fire.
Mercenaries of the shrine, who are you to speak for god? with haughty eyes and lying tongues and hands that shed innocent blood. who delivered you the power to interpret calvary? you gamble away our freedom to gain your own authority.
Find another state of mind. grab hold. strange fire burns with the motion of love.
10. Watershed-Indigo Girls
You'll never fly as the crow flies, get used to a country mile.
When you're learning to face the path at your pace
Every choice is worth your while.
Well there's always retrospect to light a clearer path
Every five years or so I look back on my life
And I have a good laugh.
You start at the top, go full circle round
Catch a breeze, take a spill
But ending up where I started again makes me wanna standstill.
Stepping on a crack, breaking up, and looking back
Every tree limb overhead just seems to sit and wait.
Until every step you take becomes a twist of fate.
Bonus: a day for the hunter, day for the prey-Lelya McCalla
