Something So Strong, a Billy/Dom Fan Mix
Jun. 12th, 2011 01:19 pmI 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
Mix can be downloaded here

I hope you like it.
