psalm_onethirtyone | "And I Pray that I Never Return..."

Okay. So

eremon_lass made a totally awesome Westmark fanmix. Go download it. Srsly.

But Soujin went *flap* You forgot this one Luther song! And then a little while later she went OH OH AND THIS ONE FLORIAN SONG! And the Justin song I found two months ago--! And--

And she ended up making her own. XD Embarrassing, yes. And the uploading took a long time and a lot of emotional stress, because it was HORRIBLE, and she whined to a lot of people, most notably Kali, Manon, and Luisa. But finally it was finished. It was a Westmark Trilogy, with three songs each for nine characters whom she picked out.

Westmark Fanmix

Florian, the leader.

Storyteller - Heather Alexander

Please, Storyteller, pull a tale from your pocket
Spin me a story from your coattail so bare
My heart has turned cold, my dreams are too old
And I need to know magic's still there

My own coat's too thin and I'm down to the lining
The spirit within on itself is entwining
My colors are faded, my cuffs are both worn
And the seam down the back is all tattered and torn

Show Me the Way - STYX

Show me the way, show me the way
Take me tonight to the river
And wash my illusions away
Show me the way, show me the way
Give me the strength and the courage
To believe that Ill get there someday
Show me the way

Winds of the Old Days - Joan Baez

Because idols are best when they're made of stone
A savior's a nuisance to live with at home
Stars often fall, heroes go unsung
And martyrs most certainly die too young

And little pretty Rina--

Lovers in a Dangerous Time - Barenaked Ladies

These fragile bodies of touch and taste
This fragrant skin this hair like lace
Spirits open to the thrust of grace
Never a breath you can afford to waste

Blue Sky - Joan Baez

You're my blue sky, you're my sunny day
Lord you know it makes me high when you turn your love my way

Island Girl - Altan

But don't just cut off your heart; keep it open and sure
Keep it free from hurt and keep an open door
And let the spirit of love that united our soul
Be a gentle dove and guide you to your goal
And I'll go to that stream and I'll sing my own prayer
That my island girl shall be safe everywhere

And then there's Justin, who's angry and hurting.

Happier - Guster

Like your father said, just do what was done unto you always
In your father's steps you'll do what was done unto you
It won't be hard to start again

Fooling Yourself - STYX

You're a troubled young man, I can tell
You've got it all in the palm of your hand
But your hand's wet with sweat and your head needs a rest

Forestfire - David Usher

Wave at all the faces they go by
Faster that we live the more we die
Now I'm crashing through the open door and smiling in a most peculiar way

Also Stock and his silly ideas and poems.

Sweet Baby James - James Taylor

Theres a song that they sing when they take to the highway
A song that they sing when they take to the sea
A song that they sing of their home in the sky
Maybe you can believe it if it helps you to sleep
But singing works just fine for me

Box # Ten - Jim Croce

Well back in Southern Illinois they're still worryin' 'bout their boy
But this boy's goin' home soon's he gets the fare
Because as soon as I got my bread
I got a pipe upside my head
You know they left me in an alley
Took my money and my guitar too

Ripple - the Grateful Dead

If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine
And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung
Would you hear my voice come through the music
Would you hold it near as it were your own?

There's Rosana, who's strong and spirited and beautiful.

Ramble on Rose - the Grateful Dead

Goodbye, Mama and Papa
Goodbye, Jack and Jill
The grass ain't greener, the wine ain't sweeter
either side of the hill.

Heart and Soul - Huey Lewis and the News

I let her steal the night away from me
Nine o'clock this morning
She left without a warning
I let her take advantage of me
You see, she got what she wanted

Gypsy - Suzanne Vega

With a long and slender body
And the sweetest softest hands
And we'll blow away forever soon
And go on to different lands

Luther is mostly just quiet, and old, and good.

The Queen and the Soldier - Suzanne Vega

And he said, "I want to live as an honest man
To get all I deserve and to give all I can
And to love a young woman who I don't understand
Your highness, your ways are very strange."

Hello in There - Joan Baez

Ya' know that old trees just grow stronger,
And old rivers grow wilder ev'ry day.
Old people just grow lonesome
Waiting for someone to say, "Hello in there, hello."

The Highwayman - Willie Nelson

I fly a starship across the Universe divide
And when I reach the other side
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
Perhaps I may become a highwayman again
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
But I will remain

And angry, angry Zara.

Box of Rain - the Grateful Dead

What do you want me to do,
to watch for you while you're sleeping?
Well please don't be surprised
when you find me dreaming too

Jane - Barenaked Ladies

I'd bring her gold and frankincense and myrrh
She thought that I was making fun of her
...
Jane doesn't think a man could ever be faithful
Jane isn't giving me a chance to be shameful

Everything had Changed - Barenaked Ladies

I hold my breath and count to ten
I hate it now; hated it then
I've seen it all before
A failure and a bore
But that's what friends are for

And our lost Theo, who Isn't Quite Sure Yet.

Clark Gable - the Postal Service

I want so badly to believe that there is truth, that love is real
And I want life in every word to the extent that it's absurd
I know you're wise beyond your years, but do you ever get the fear
That your perfect verse is just a lie you tell yourself to help you get by?

Two Points for Honesty - Guster

If that's all you will be
You'll be a waste of time
You've dreamed a thousand dreams
None seem to stick in your mind
Two points for honesty
It must make you sad to know that
Nobody cares at all

Where do I go? - Hair

Where do I go?
Follow the children
Where do I go?
Follow their smiles

Is there an answer
In their sweet faces
That tells me why I live and die?

And lastly the beggar queen, Mickle.

This War is Over - Melissa Etheridge

Take off my shield
Carry my sword
I won't need it anymore
Find me a sky
Give me my wings
Frozen and broken but free

Tell them I'm all right
I'm coming home
Tell them I'm all right
I am alone
This war is over
I'm coming home

Rainbow - the New Riders of the Purple Sage

Oh yes you are magic, I know that you are
'Cause I saw you ridin' last night on a star, honey
Sing me a rainbow, shine me a dime
Drop in and see me any old time
And if you love me, tell me you do
Reason I'm askin', 'cause I love you

The Lady is a Tramp - Ella Fitzgerald

I like a prizefight that isn't a fake
I love the rowing on Central Park lake
I go to Opera and stay wide awake
That's why the lady is a tramp

Now I can finally, finally go to sleep. And, more importantly, start answering comments to LJ again! Sorry, everybody. <3 Thanks for bearing with me.
