In which I give you my Morgana mixtape
Oct. 20th, 2009 03:16 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
PLUS a bonus 5 track mix, Evil evil-doers of evil.
WARNING: While the storyline that accompanies the songs is vague and I've taken many liberties, you could definitely say that it contains spoilers for seasons 1 & 2 and various Arthurian legends. I've yet to meet a Merlin fan who doesn't know what's in store for Morgana in the future, but I so know some people who haven't seen any season two eps yet, so consider yourself warned.
Likewise, the mini!mix contains the name of a baddie who isn't bad yet, and again, while I've never met a Merlin fan who didn't know about this part of the legends, it'd be just my luck to spoil one, so BEWARE.
With that said, please enjoy!
Zip located here at Mediafire. Individual tracks available for download below. No artwork because I am not graphically inclined. All files are mp3s. Comments would be super sweet! My previous fanmix (an Arthur/Merlin) can be found here.
Cried Too Hard - the Whitlams
Torch the moon, burn the schools,
Why's it a man making all the rules?
Frida Kahlo poster on her door.
She laughs too easily and cries too hard.
Shouldn't drink alone, the colours run.
How can she forgive,
When we know well what we do?
It's A Fire - Portishead
It's a fire
These dreams they pass me by
This salvation I desire
Keeps getting me down.
[...]
Cause this life is a farce
I can't breathe through this mask
Like a fool
So breathe on, sister, breathe on.
Christine - Siouxsie and the Banshees
She tries not to shatter, kaleidoscope style,
Personality changes behind her red smile.
Every new problem brings a stranger inside,
Helplessly forcing one more new disguise.
We start with the Morgana we've come to know over the course of the show; strong-willed and kind but battling with an enormous secret. The prophetic dreams she has leaves her terrified and broken, afraid for her safety in a kingdom which had renounced sorcery, and afraid for her own sanity.
--------------------
Dissolved Girl - Massive Attack
'Cause it feels like I've been,
I've been here before.
You're not my savior,
But I still don't go.
Feels like something,
That I've done before.
I could fake it,
But I'd still want more.
When she seeks help from loved ones she is either lied to or not told the complete truth. Finally, she meets the Druids who confirm her suspicions. A weight begins to lift as she is told that not only is she no longer alone, but she has an entire community willing to help her. The feeling of finally belonging is addicitve...
--------------------
Black Dresses - the Builders and the Butchers
Well her hometown was built by a few greedy men,
People tell me she was descended from them.
She's a claim in the darkness ever since she was a kid.
And she doesn't mourn for a man's come and gone,
She's worn the color of black all along.
She was born with a stone where there shoulda been a heart.
Yucatan Gold - Throw Me The Statue
Oh, but that longish ruddy hair,
I might love her if I dared,
And I'd probably lose my legs.
Aisha - Death in Vegas
I still want to to be human.
But what am I?
What am I?!
I'm a murderer.
Gouge Away - the Pixies
Sleeping on your belly,
You break my arms,
You spoon my eyes.
Been rubbing a bad charm,
With holy fingers.
A Girl Like You - Edwyn Collins
You give me just a taste so I want more.
Now my hands are bleeding and my knees are raw,
Cause now you got me crawlin', crawlin' on the floor.
And I've never known a girl like you before.
The Bears Are Coming - Late of the Pier
Why must you scream?
Please don't make a scene.
She thinks she plays,
Is it all a game?
No need to be tame,
Sugar melts the acid rain.
As her powers increase, she is tempted furthur into darkness and soon madness takes hold. The people mourn the loss of someone they considered their princess, as she abandons Camelot and her faith for a new, dangerous path.
--------------------
Sour Girl - Stone Temple Pilots
She turned away, what was she looking at?
She was a sour girl the day that she met me.
Hey, what are you looking at?
She was a happy girl the day that she left me.
Get Ur Freak On - Eels (Missy Elliot cover)
Y'all can't stop me now
Listen to me now, I'm lasting twenty rounds
And if you want me (cracker) then come and get me now.
Eve of Destruction - Eve (because you know magical prowess is akin to having mad verbal skillz on the mic!)
Smell the fear, you made me attack,
You caused your own extermination not knowing how to act.
I thought I warned you not to make me mad,
You just wouldn't listen.
Not only does Morgana become a powerful witch, but she becomes a powerful witch with a vengeance against all those who have ever wronged her, including those she once called friends. She goads her enemies and is filled with a sense of superiority and righteousness.
--------------------
White Palms - Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
Jesus, when you coming back?
He's never coming back.
You'll never take me back.
We're never going home.
I wanna go home.
At the end of all things she seeks redemption but fears it's too late for her soul.
--------------------
AND a bonus 5-track companion mix, Evil evil-doers of EVIL, for your past and future favourite baddies, Nimueh and Mordred!
We Used To Be Friends - the Dandy Warhols (Nimueh)
A long time ago, we used to be friends,
But I haven't thought of you lately at all.
If ever again a greeting I send to you,
Short and sweet to the soul I intend.
Bad Bad Things - Andrew Jackson Jihad (Mordred)
So I looked into your eyes,
And I saw a reflection,
Of a coward that you and I both hate very much.
And then I grabbed the knife,
And I let the blood out of your throat.
Firestarter - Prodigy (Nimueh)
I'm the bitch you hated, filth infatuated.
I'm the pain you tasted, fell intoxicated.
I'm a firestarter, twisted firestarter.
Pulse - the Mess Hall (Mordred)
Bold as a boy can be,
The military standing on the sidewalk looking at me,
Just raising my arms to a chromatic sky,
Looking for a weapon while the devil rides high.
Guns of Brixton - the Clash (Those badass druids)
When they kick at your front door,
How you going to come?
With your hands on your head,
Or on the trigger of your gun?
You can crush us,
You can bruise us,
Yes, even shoot us.
But oh, the guns of Brixton.

I really hope you enjoy the songs and thank you so much for such a nice comment!
