HI.

So, to commiserate the fact that I still don't have my computer back and have thus been unable to download all the new albums I want (Radiohead, Smith Westerns, the Decemberists, Hey Rosetta, Campfire OK), I've been making a lot of playlists on my iPod. It goes without saying that I had to make a Merlin/Arthur one, which got me thinking about the ultimate M/A songs; MY ultimate songs, the ones that shape the soundtrack for their life and love.

I embedded my top five and I've given you a dl link. You can also find these and many more in my Merlin fanmixes, if you didn't already know.

[Beginning - Middle]

Cause, holy cow, I love your eyes,
And only now I see the light,
Yeah, lying with you, half awake,
Stumbling over what to say,
Well, anyway,
It's looking like a beautiful day.

I lived my life with dotted 'I's,
These knotted fingers toed the line.
Then...your open arms.

And the criss cross of what is true,
Won't get to us,
Cause you know me,
I could not give up on you.

And the fog of what is right,
Won't cover us,
Cause you know me,
I could not give up a fight.

[End - Reincarnation, YAY!]

While you were sleeping, I was the turning the dials,
And I walled up your kingdom with radio wires,
And the bells of the choir came in low and rumbling.
Oh, you should of heard them.
[...]
While you were sleeping, you bet that I might,
Walk this empty northern hemisphere wide,
And the kingdom it came, well it all fell down,
And it all fell to dust.

I can't belive that you're knocking,
Knocking on my door.
It's been so long, been so long.
Fate has a way of showing,
I'm where you belong.

But what I really want to know is, what are yours? Which songs match the story in your head? Which songs never fail to inspire you, or to remind you just who these characters are and what their journey is about?
