Who doesn't enjoy a famix? Well, I'm sure plenty of people do not care one way or the other-- I am not one of those people! Although I love seeing other people post them, I've never actually made one myself. That's all changing tonight! And really, who else would I dedicate my first mix to?

Note: As is typical of character fanmixes, certain songs will focus solely on Shiori, while others may have more of a Juri/Shiori slant (as friends, as enemies, and as lovers.) Hope you enjoy-- and I hope there's not too much eye-rolling at my freakishly loving view of Shiori.



.zip with all the songs

1. The Fragile // Nine Inch Nails

She shines in a world full of ugliness
She matters when everything is meaningless
Fragile, she doesn't see her beauty
She tries to get away
Sometimes, it's just that nothing seems worth saving
I can't watch her slip away

2. Are You Hurting (the One You Love?) // Florence + the Machine

Are you hurting the one you love
When they watched the walls and the ticking clock?
Are you hurting the one you love
And was it something you could not stop?

3. This Celluloid Dream // AFI

You land as lightly as the new snow, cinematic
Onto the melting boy, and melt away
You light as gently, you're so cinematic
Bathed in your radiance, I melt
In the glitter, in the dark, sunk into velvet
Praying this will never end
In the shadow of a star, in static pallor
I realized I never began

4. A Long Term Plan // Acid House Kings

You’re young enough to cry
You’re old enough to comfort yourself
You’re young enough to lie
You’re old enough to see through yourself
So, if you fall apart
I know that you’ve tried so hard to make it happen
So, if you break your heart
I know that you’ve had it all, all you wanted

5. Nobody Puts Baby in a Corner // Fall Out Boy

I keep my jealousy close, 'cause it's all mine
And if you say this makes you happy
Then I'm not the only one lying
(...)
So wear me like a locket around your throat
I'll weigh you down, I'll watch you choke
You look so good in blue

6. Fuck Was I // Jenny Owen Youngs

If we weren't such good friends, I think that I'd hate you
If we weren't such good friends, I'd wish you were dead

7. Just Like a Woman // Bob Dylan

She takes just like a woman (yes she does)
She makes love just like a woman (yes she does)
She aches just like a woman
But she breaks just like a little girl

8. Drive You Home // Garbage

Isn't it funny how, even now, you still support me after all the things that I've done?
You're so good to me, waiting patiently, and isn't it sad that you still have to ask if I care?
(...)
I'm praying for a miracle, but I won't hold my breath
I never said I was perfect... but I can drive you home

9. Girl // Tori Amos

She's been everybody else's girl
Maybe one day she'll be her own

10. I Am Terrified // IAMX

In your blood, the fetish, the prize
Of a million teasing moments blind
Will release you from the circus, the railway
But the gravity between us will keep us safe

11. The Prayer // Bloc Party

Is it so wrong to crave recognition?
Second best, runner-up
Is it so wrong to want rewarding?
To ask for more than is given to you?

12. Replacement // She Wants Revenge

You can pin it all on me, the blame is mine to bear
With all the things I've done to you, we're far beyond repair
But still sometimes I think of us and how things fell apart
And how you knew from the first kiss that I would break your heart

13. Blind // Placebo

Don't go and leave me,
And please don't drive me blind
Don't go and leave me,
And please don't drive me blind
You don't believe me, but you do this every time
Please don't drive me blind
Please don't drive me blind
(I know we're broken,
I know we're broken,
I know we're broken)
