Ballad of a Thin Man.

[theodor_gylden]

Rufus Wainwright - Do I Disappoint You
(As a boy and fearful, raised to reach for the unattainable --)
Do I disappoint you in just being human
And not one of the elements that you can light your cigar on
Why does it always have to be fire
Why does it always have to be brimstone

Abney Park - The Clockyard
(-- waiting and preparing until it's too late --)
There was a young boy in a clockyard
Building himself from the pieces he found
Screwing on what's been left on the ground
Hoping to finish enough one day to leave

Andrew Bird - Not A Robot, But A Ghost
(-- summoning the spirit of a first love --)
I hear the clockwork in your core
Time strips the gears till you forget what they were for
I push the numbers through your pores

Beirut - Brandenburg
(-- fleeing grief in Germany --)
Send me now the winter's over
A light turns out the winds are colder
The love we've had will turn all over
Going south and we are older

Nobuo Uematsu - Mystery Train
(-- following tracks and phantoms --)
Instrumental

Heather Nova - We Can Work It Out
(-- falling into a bickering familiarity with his travel-companion --)
Try to see it my way
Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong
While you see it your way
There's a chance that we might fall apart before too long

Bob Dylan - Ballad of a Thin Man
(-- separation and madness and a stay in the Royal Bethlehem--)
You raise up your head
And you ask is this where it is
And somebody points to you and says it's his
And you say what's mine
And somebody else says where what is
And you say oh my god
Am I here all alone

Splashdown - Dig
(-- seeking answers in the deep --)
I drew a sound from the belly of the well
I've loosened my grip on the rope that pulls the water pail
I threw a quarter down
I'm gonna dive down after it
I hope that Truth of Soul was right to say there isn't a bottom to hit

Humanwine - Rivolta Silenziosa
(-- and always so damnably hungry! --)
It's kin eating kin
Cogs living in
The burning city when
Will this day ever end
Will the words from within
Break down this wall

Sia - Academia
(-- the challenges and tribulations of courting Mr Gylden --)
You're a difficult equation
With a knack for heart evasion
Will you listen to my proof
Or will you add another page on

Feist - How My Heart Behaves
(-- the love that burst up out of nowhere, a pact to survive the zee --)
What grew
What grew
What grew and inside who
First so simple was the vow
Then the chorus sang about
Your shoulder
The mooring for me
Like water lost in the sea

Radical Face - Welcome Home
(-- sojourning on the surface and swallowing grief --)
All my nightmares escaped my head
Bar the door please don't let them in
You were never supposed to leave
Now my head's splitting at the seams
And I don't know if I can

Stars - The Night Starts Here
(-- and a ritual to undo one of the world's mistakes.)
Forget your name
Forget your fear
You drop a coin into the sea
And shout out please come back to me

Just listened to about half, and I'm again incredibly impressed with your musical selection.

[theodor-gylden.livejournal.com]

thank you. :D gil recommended both 'clockyard' and 'not a robot, but a ghost' to me.

It'd be interesting to have other people build a mix about someone else's character...

[theodor-gylden.livejournal.com]

it would be interesting to see, to get an idea of what other people think of your character. and to get shiny new music recommendations!

[nemesisblack.livejournal.com]

Yes to both. I'm enjoying the new additions to my itunes from everyone's suggestions to neathy songs :)

Also, yes, I've been talking with GC's player about how interesting it is to see how other people's players/characters view your character.

even silly things like the tapping-meme provide some neat perspectives. 'ah, so i see that air of sexual unapproachability theo tries to project is working!' (i almost typed 'impenetrability,' snicker.)

It's so weird when someone like /Theodor/ shares songs that would be perfect with Louis. ♥ Those first three songs!

[theodor-gylden.livejournal.com]

hee! well, two and three are implicitly about christer, and y'all already know theo's habit of seeing christer in louis. they do suit quite well!

[bartholomaew.livejournal.com]

They do, I may have to steal them! Even though it's so strange to have shared songs, haha!

Also, downloading everything because you only like amazing songs.

[theodor-gylden.livejournal.com]

well, i did tell eris's player that narci would like 'let's misbehave' ... :D good songs can resonate with lots of different people, right?

this is not true at all! but thank you. <333
