fanmix: a slow escalation of yearning

[bonnefois]

This is a sort of a ‘Soren always reaching for Ike but never really finding him.’ mix. Even when he finally finds Ike, it’s never close enough and something happens (Ike dying, Ike leaving, etc) to snatch that transient glimpse of happiness away.

For madame_oryx in fandom_stocking. (I'll unlock it when it's time to post in the stockings.)

There was a cover, but my computer ate it when I had a HD crash a bit back.

the park :: feist
why should he come back through the park? / you thought that you saw him but no you did not
it's not him who'd come across / the sea to surprise you / not him who would know / where in London to find you / with sadness so real that it populates / the city and leaves you homeless again / steam from the cup and snow on the path / the seasons have changed from present to past
the past / the past / turns whole to half / the past why should he come back through the park? / you thought that you saw him but no you did not

undertow :: stars
living for only one (when will it stop?) / caught in the undertow (when will it stop?) / trying to fight the call (when will it stop?) / why does the night when we always... / all the winds that you rise that you rise / all the winds that you rise that you rise that you rise that you rise / all the winds that you rise that you rise that you rise that you rise / (when will it stop?) no one forever young (when will it stop?) / I'm caught in the undertow (when will it stop?) / the brittle and bitter bone (when will it stop?) / forgotten how to grow

last of days :: a fine frenzy
something causing fear to fly / rising like a dark night / in silence / traveling like a broken boat
heading for the sky / and I'm an island / I watched you disappear into the clouds / swept away into another town / the world carries on without you / but nothing remains the same / I'll be lost without you / until the last of days / the sun is in the east / rising for the beasts / and the beauties
I wish that I could tear it down / plant it in the ground to warm your face / I built myself a castle on the beach / watching as it slid into the sea / the world carries on without you / but nothing remains the same / I'll be lost without you / until the last of days / until the last of days / through walls and harvest moons / I will fight for you
