And They'll Never See You Fall: A Tenth Doctor EP

[intrikate88]

You lost her. Not the first time you've lost someone, and now it's the same old life in the TARDIS, traveling around. You'll be fine. Might pick up a guest or two, or find another girl to travel with- her adoration, so unlike hers, will keep her from seeing the shadow behind you. Push her away, push everyone away, need no one so that their departure doesn't hurt. So what if you kill a species or two, throw your life away again and again, wear a suit you hate? You're a Timelord, the last of your kind, and this grand identity is enough to hide the fact that you are a man, wounded and stumbling.

She is still lost. And so are you.

Going Down || Thea Gilmore

Well heaven knows the way things go
With ticker tape and radios
The good fight was lost long ago
And bravery doesn’t live in those
Who’re going down
And I’m going down

I had less sense than a harlequin
I changed my clothes and jumped straight in
It was hotter than it should have been
Now with bloody legs and blistered skin
I’m going down
I’m going down
Give me one more heart to break
And I promise I won’t make a sound

From sad refrain to sad refrain
I said you’d hear it all again
The lonely call of distant trains
I missed the point but hit the shame going down
And I’m going down
Its been there for the taking
The only journey I’ll be making is down

Did you really turn the light off on your way down?
Did you really mark the mirror on your way down?

And ruin comes and ruin stays
And, Jesus Christ, the games it plays
Can’t wash the smell off my skin for days
The sex, the blood, the alleyway
Going down
I’m going down
Well I got a little dizzy
Somehow things have turned me around

Well heaven knows the way things go
With ticker tape and radios
The good fight was lost long ago
And bravery doesn’t live in those
Who’re going down
And I’m going down

Lack of Motion || The Push Stars

Well, I don't laugh that much anymore / I got too many troubles knocking at my 
door / but it'd be too easy to say, "Life sucks" / 'cause they'll never see you fall / in a lack of 
motion / won't see anything at all / in a lack of motion 

Carbon Monoxide || Regina Spektor

carbon monoxide, soon we'll go to sleep / no one will notice we're gone 'cause
we don't have a job to keep

Toast || Tori Amos

I thought I'd see you again / you said you might do / maybe in a carving /
in a cathedral / somewhere in Barcelona

Shine || Vienna Teng

in unending storms we search for space to breathe / how our hearts are worn;
we've come so far in this desert, how we blossom and we cease / tell your story now / we have so much to know

Windy || Page France

I will sing a circus song / About the birds and lion hearts / but please if I forget to stop / remind me
who I am and what you are / 'cause when our eyes close we're the same

Late Great Planet Earth || Plumb

the sky is falling / voices crying out in desperation / hear them calling / you can never save yourself

This looks really good! I love the cover art and the intro paragraph is very well written (except I refuse to believe the Doctor hates his suit LOL). The song choices look interesting too and very well chosen lyrics! Awesome work, I'm going to download it eventually. :D

[intrikate88.livejournal.com]

LOL I meant the Blue Suit of Doom. It's not a good look! I believe that suit can only be worn in fits of self-loathing. Pinstripes = so much better!

Thanks for the complements! :D I hope you enjoy it, when you download it!

[ohgollygeedamn.livejournal.com]

Oh, I see! Blue suit representing inner turmoil and suffering. Yes, very loath-able. :D

I've finally downloaded and listened to it! Absolutely adored your choices (fantastic taste in music). This is one of the best fanmixes I've listened to about The Doctor. Wow, I can't even think of anything more constructive to say.

Love it, thank you for compiling.

[intrikate88.livejournal.com]

Yay! I'm so glad you adore it so, that makes my day. XD

[curseangel.livejournal.com]

This mix is really brilliant. ♥ Taking, and thanks!

[intrikate88.livejournal.com]

Enjoy! XD

[thunderemerald.livejournal.com]

It's the blue suit he hates, right? Right? Not the lovely pinstripes?

(GOOD CALL on that Thea song -- I never would've thought of that!)

Ooh, and remind me to send you "What I'm Looking For" by Brendan Benson -- I heard it the other day and all I could think was "zomg Ten."

Anyway, I'm so downloading this. Thanks! And DAMN, that's some gorgeous art.

[intrikate88.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes, the Blue Suit of Doom, for sure. That HAS to be a sign of self-loathing, wearing that suit, right? Even his hair usually flops down in sadness when he wears it!

Hehe, it's become a habit to include a Thea song in my mixes. I will infect the world! I was only going to post a few lines of lyrics for it, but hell, all of them fit so nicely and were so pretty so I had to post them all.

Brendan Benson is cool, I only have a few songs by him. Send that song along!

Thanks for art compliments! It was SO DAMN HARD to come up with something for the longest time, but I'm glad that worked out. *admires shiny art* Hope you enjoy the mix.

I actually didn't mind the blue suit, in and of itself. I thought maybe he put it on for a change of pace, to try and brighten himself up, and obviously it just didn't WORK. Sigh.

I am very much enjoying the mix! LOOOOOVE that Vienna Teng song. I need more of her, seriously.

So, Brendan I will send later -- also, this song by Girlyman, which is the PERFECT Martha-leaving-the-Doctor-at-the-end-of-LOTTL. Behold:

Sometimes I see you, wouldn't wanna be you, you're like the sun
You rise and shine, but you're not mine, you shine on everyone

And more.

And yeah, that art is just lovely. Simple and elegant. I really love it.

Checking out your cool mix with its equally cool art. Thanks :)

[intrikate88.livejournal.com]

Aw, thanks! I hope you enjoy the mix!

[ninamazing.livejournal.com]

Ooooh, YAY. I love your song choices, and even though this is sad, I can just think of the end of "Partners in Crime" and be okay. :D

[intrikate88.livejournal.com]

EXACTLY. EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY NOW THAT ROSE IS BACK. I hope you enjoy the mix!

[luthien13.livejournal.com]

Thea Gilmore! FTW!
I'm really excited to listen to this. :)

[intrikate88.livejournal.com]

*SNOGS* You know, I put one or two Thea songs on just about every fanmix I do, for the sole purpose of having someone come along and say "Thea Gilmore! FTW!" and totally, totally make my day.

I hope you enjoy this, and it's great to know there is a fellow Thea-lover out there!

Okay so I downloaded this before and then my computer crashed and the only songs left were Lack of Motion and Carbon Monoxide, and I was playing Lack of Motion over the car speakers and my mum was in the car and she totally missed the first half but when it came to :"Is that brand new or is that a rental, when she said its stolen thats when she stole my heart" my mom just blinked and the yelled: "WHAT? What is this?!" it was the funniest freakin' thing I've seen in days, so in short: THANKS MUCH! XD

[intrikate88.livejournal.com]

LOL! That's great. Truly, that is one of the best lines of that song. :P

[chocolate-inyx.livejournal.com]

This looks brilliant!

[intrikate88.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Enjoy!

[jamesiangirl.livejournal.com]

Regina Spektor + Tori Amos + Vienna Teng = WIN!

Looking forward to listening to this - thanks!

[intrikate88.livejournal.com]

Enjoy! I have plenty of music posted, hope you take a look around!
