Just a Shot Away



1. The Sun is Burning – Watercolor Paintings
The sun is burning, burning, burning, burning my eyes
The sun is burning, burning, burning, burning my eyes


2. Help I’m Alive – Metric
I tremble
They're going to eat me alive
If I stumble
They're going to eat me alive


3. Blood to Gold – Boy & Bear
The time has come my friend to run,
I bid you please to take the roses and the loaded gun I left you


4. We Still Kill the Old Way – Lostprophets
No survivors left to save
Too late for the walking dead


5. Gimme Shelter – Rolling Stones
War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
I tell you love, sister, it's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away


6. Between Two Lungs – Florence & the Machine
Between two lungs it was released
The breath that passed from you to me
That flew between us as we slept
That slipped from your mouth into mine


7. Beside You – Marinas Trench
And if your heart wears thin
I will hold you up
And I will hide you
When it gets too much
I'll be right beside you


8. If You Want Blood - AC/DC
Blood on the rocks
Blood on the streets
Blood in the sky
Blood on the sheets
If you want blood - you got it


9. Bugs – O’Death
I’ve been wasting most my time
Living for the day


10. I Owe You a Love Song – Shiny Toy Guns
remember the days of sleepless summer nights
that took us away? a perfect place a different time
back when nothing was wrong
now we're each sold separately
our summers are gone
grey skies are all i see


11. Let the Bodies Hit the Floor – Drowning Pool
Push me again (again)
This is the end
Here we go here we go here we go, now


12. The Howling – Within Temptation
I feel they’re getting closer,
their howls are sending chills down my spine.
Our time is running up now,
They’re coming down the hills from behind.


13. Unseeing Eyes – Starry Saints
In my mind
A thousand times
Your unseeing eyes
They give me a sign
They give me a sign.


14. How It Ends – DeVotchka
And you already know
Yeah, you already know how this will end

LOLDAMMIT. I tried to keep my songs unique to all the other quality fanmixes out there, but you are so awesome you had two of the same. I COULD NOT ANTICIPATE YOUR WIN. But, ugh, are these all perfect (especially Metric, OMG. YES.) Now I need to go listen to this on repeat as I reread all the angsty S/P I can get my hands on.

Aw man, I should've looked yours over first - I'd actually even been going back and forth between How It Ends and I Promise You walls. I'm actually pretty sure I was introduced to Metric through one of your mixes, haha

[fujiidom.livejournal.com]

LOL, I LOVE IT. All such perfect choices, though. And you can never have enough quality music, no matter how frequent the sources. ♥

Well, fuck me, this is perfect. I'm starting to believe that you are not actually a real person, and just some sort of artificial intelligence programmed into my computer for the sole purpose of making me happy.

You need to stop.

Except don't.

These songs. THESE SONGS. THEEEEESE SONGS. Every single one is PERFECTION. It's such a good mix of what the fic is, to me, and what I intended when I wrote it. It's zombies and apocalypse, but also people still finding love in the midst of that craziness, and daaaaaaaaaaaamn, this is perfect.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. This is going on repeat for the rest of the weekend FOR SURE. (And then I'll probably want to write about zombies again next week. LOL.)

I JUST LOVE YOU SO MUCH. ♥

The finding love in the middle of the zombie killing is what I loved so much about your fic - how you interlaced the two so perfectly - so when I saw the prompt, I pretty much flailed like crazy, haha

I was just nervous about the mix of sounds? Like, I REALLY wanted "Let the Bodies Hit the Floor" but then I was worried that it didn't sound like anything else and good mixes always seem to flow from one song to the next and I COULD NOT MANAGE IT and yeah I'm kind of stupid but I'm so glad you liked it! I just liked your fic a lot a lot and I didn't want to, idk, tarnish it by association or something. IDK I KNOW I OVER-THINK THESE THINGS. But you liked it so it's all good! ;)

ANYWHO. You are amazing and far too sweet and I LOVE YOU MOAAAR. ♥

Wow, just wow. You've just hit the fic dead (pardon the pun) on!

Bravo.

[muir-wolf.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I get super nervous about mixes, so I'm glad you liked it! ♥

Oh wow, having just recently re-read the fic I am super excited to listen to this. You are the best :DD

I admit to being made of fail in my late reviewing here, but I wanted to tell you that this is awesome and you should feel awesome.
