A-B-C, 1-2-3 (Ficmix)

Another ficmix by yours truly! This one was super difficult because it was for Kimi (gotta be you.)’s collection of drabbles that she was doing for the ABC Drabble-a-thon. I was going to just make a mix of songs that represented the overall feel of the collection, but they’re all so different and amazing so that approach didn’t end up working, so I decided to pick out a song that I thought went with the theme of each drabble. It was hard because the drabbles were all 100 words (obviously), so it was difficult to match a song with the super short amount of words.

But I dunno, I think I did a decent job of it. There’s sooo much different stuff in this ficmix. We’ve got some Kanye West and country, and Pentakill, which is basically music based on a video game. I actually legitimately love all of this music, so I had a pretty fun time putting it together. I included the drabble that each song was for before the song title, and organized it in alphabetical order based on the titles. I hope you guys like it!

You can find the playlist on my 8tracks

Amihan: You Be the Anchor That Keeps My Feet On The Ground, I'll Be The Wings That Keep Your Heart In The Clouds - Mayday Parade

and I'll be here by the ocean
just waiting for proof that there's sunsets and silhouette dreams


Bisig: Elephants - Rachael Yamagata

when I'm doing all that I can do
you are forcing me to remember
when all I want is to just forget you


Cinco: Youth - Daughter

shadows settle on the place, that you left
our minds are troubled by the emptiness
destroy the middle, it's a waste of time
from the perfect start to the finish line


Daluyong: Georgia - Vance Joy

she is something to behold
elegant and bold
she is electricity
running to my soul
and I could easily lose my mind
the way you kiss me will work each time
Calling me to come back to bed


Erehe: Some Nights - fun.

*because war and stuff
this is it, boys, this is war - what are we waiting for?
why don't we break the rules already?


Filipinas: Home - Michael Buble

another summer day
has come and gone away
in Paris and Rome
but I wanna go home


Gunita: Feels Like Home - Edwina Hayes

it feels like home to me, it feels like home to me
it feels like I'm all the way back where I come from


Harana: Unchained Melody - The Righteous Brothers

*because when I think of serenading someone from below a window, this is what I think of
whoa, my love
my darling
I've hungered for your touch
a long, lonely time


Ilog: Arabella - Arctic Monkeys

Arabella's got a 70's head
but she's a modern lover
it's an exploration, she's made of outer space
and her lips are like the galaxy's edge
and her kiss the colour of a constellation falling into place


Jusi: Dark Paradise - Lana Del Rey

and there's no remedy
for memory
your face is like a melody
it won't leave my head
your soul is haunting me
and telling me
that everything is fine
but I wish I was dead
dead like you


Kirot: Colorblind - Counting Crows

I am covered in skin
no one gets to come in
pull me out from inside
I am folded, and unfolded, and unfolding


Lusong: Shelter - Birdy

I find shelter in this way
under cover, hide away
can you hear when I say
I have never felt this way


Oras: Distance - Christina Perri feat. Jason Mraz

and I will make sure to keep my distance
say, "I love you," when you're not listening
and how long can we keep this up?


Palamuti: Breezeblocks - alt-J

she may contain the urge to run away
but hold her down with soggy clothes and breezeblocks


Querida: Girl Crush - Little Big Town

I got a girl crush, hate to admit it but
I got a heart rush, ain’t slowin’ down
I got it real bad, want everything she has
that smile and the midnight laugh she’s givin’ you now


Rampa: Belle of the Boulevard - Dashboard Confessional

life is always hard for the belle of the boulevard

Said: Gold Digger - Kayne West feat. Jamie Foxx

she take my money when I'm in need
yeah she's a trifling friend indeed
oh she's a gold digger way over town
that digs on me


Tugma: Lightbringer - Pentakill

*because this is the best LoL song ever
call down the reckoning
to bring back hope and peace
restore our gloria
to live forever


*****

Like I said, it’s all over the place, but I liked it. I say this every time, but I adore ficmixes and this was the last one I have to do (for right now), so if you want one, let me know! I’d love to make one for any story you have.
