Something So Strong, a Billy/Dom Fan Mix

[http://users.livejournal.com/kimberleigh_/]

I love making mixes. I make them for every occasion, and Monaboyd month is definitely a great occasion. As I was making this mix, I said to myself, "There is a story in this", so this is a story about Billy and Dom. A story of first meetings, longing, first kisses, first times, separations, reunions, arguments, make ups, break ups and maybe a happy ending. It is also my love letter to a pairing that has brought me so much joy over the years.

I hope you like it.





New beginnings on the far side of the world

Anchor Me – Kirsten Morelle, Che Fu, Anika Moa, Milan Borich, Adeaze, Hinewehi Mohi, David Atai and Donald McNulty

As the compass turns
And the glass it falls
Where the storm clouds roll
And the gulls they call
Anchor me

I've never met anyone like you before

Nightingale – Norah Jones

All the voices that are spinnin' around me
Trying to tell me what to say
Can I fly right behind you
And you can take me away

Longing

In Remote Part/Scottish Fiction – Idlewild

So I'll wait 'till I find the remote part of your heart
When nowhere else will let us choose a comfortable start
And even if the breath between us smells of alcohol
We call it confusion in the best way possible

Infatuation on the dance floor

Personal Jesus – Depeche Mode

Reach Out Touch Faith

I like you, do you like me? Trying to be subtle

Sway – Bic Runga

And here I go, losing my control
I'm practicing your name
So I can say it to your face
It doesn't seem right to look you in the eye
Let all the things you mean to me
Come tumbling out my mouth
Indeed it's time to tell you why

Fuck Subtlety

I Want You to Want Me – Cheap Trick

I want you to want me.
I need you to need me.
I'd love you to love me.
I'm beggin' you to beg me.

Reciprocation

Surrendering – Alanis Morissette

Self protection was in times of true danger
Your best defense to mistrust and be wary
Surrendering a feat of unequaled measure
And I'm thrilled to let you in
Overjoyed to be let in in kind

Kisses under the Southern Cross

Case of You – Joni Mitchell

Oh, you're in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet
Oh I could drink a case of you, darling
And I would still be on my feet
Oh I would still be on my feet

Tonight, you and I

The Edge of Glory – Lady Gaga

It's hot to feel the rush,
To brush the dangerous
I'm gonna run back to, to the edge with you
Where we can both fall far in love.

Together, like that

They Don't Know – Tracey Ullman

Cause they don't know 'bout us
They've never heard of love

It isn't always easy telling the truth

Feed Me – Yvonne

So tell me those lies I want to hear
Tell me I'm the only one
Tell me I'm the only one you've had

Temporary Separations

Don't Forget Me – Neko Case

Don't forget me, please don't forget me
Make it easy, only just for a little while
You know I think about you
Let me know you think about me too

Reunions

Something So Strong – Crowded House

Something so strong could carry us away
Something so strong could carry us today

Leaving home to go home

Time Stand Still – Rush

Freeze this moment a little bit longer
Make each sensation a little bit stronger
Make each impression a little bit stronger
Freeze this motion a little bit longer

Late night long distance phone calls

Last Night on Earth – Green Day

I text a postcard, sent to you
Did it go through?
Sending all my love to you
You are the moonlight of my life every night
Giving all my love to you.

Missing You

The Story – Sara Ramirez

But these stories don’t mean anything
When you’ve got no one to tell them to
It’s true, I was made for you

Giving you freedom

You owe me nothing in return – Alanis Morissette

You can ask to live by yourself or love someone else and I'll support it.
You can ask for anything you want, anything at all and I'll understand it.
And there are no strings attached to it.


Cheating others, cheating ourselves

The Dark End of The Street – The Commitments

I know time is gonna take its toll
We have to pay for the love we stole
It's a sin and we know its wrong
Oh but our love keeps goin' on strong

Mexico, hurting the ones we love

The Moment I said it – Imogen Heap

Sit down, come round, I need you now
We'll work it all out together
But we're getting nowhere tonight
Now sleep, I promise it'll all seem better
Somehow in time

Hawaii, come back to me

Return to Me – October Project

I am here calling the wind
I am here calling your name
I am here calling you back
Return to me
Return to me

Never letting go again

In My Arms – Beecake

All you ever wanted
All you ever needed
Is here in my arms

Together, ever after

The History of Us – Eve and The Breeze

Some things I might not quite remember
But every moment in our past
I will keep safe deep in my heart
The history of us
