In which I require assistance

[kylezy]

Firstly, big hiya to my new Merlin friends *touches you all inappropriately*

Reason #42 why Merlin is the gayest show on tv:


A good looking dude uses his clothing to soothe the wound of his injured friend/love interest, where have I seen this before...

@ 1.40

OH RIGHT, IN THIS PIECE OF GIANT UNSUBTLE-NESS. No subtext indeed.

Back to the gif for a second. I can sit here and watch it for a few minutes straight and Bradley's crazy eyes make me laugh every damn time <3 Also, I'm not a Twilight fan, I feel like I should disclaim this.



I'm working on a Bradley/Colin fanmix and I'm onto the (most likely) last song. Home by Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros fits perfectly, but I feel like it's such a well known song now, somebody has most likely used it on another mix. I've no doubt I've unknowingly used songs that have appeared on other mixes, but I never do this deliberately, I always try to pick songs that other people haven't related back to fandom yet. So:

a) Have you seen this song on a Merlin fanmix before? I could stay ignorant because I genuinely can't recall seeing it, but it's really bugging me because I'm sure SOMEONE MUST HAVE USED IT and I don't want to be a song stealer-er.

b) Can you suggest any other songs that say 'HEY, I'VE MISSED YOU AND ALSO SORT OF LOVE YOU A LOT'? It is with a great sense of shame I ask you this, flist, I never ask for help with song choices, nevaaaah. My pride, it wanes.

I've never seen this song before and trust me, I'd know, since I make grabby hands for every fanmix because I NEED NEW MUSIC ON A REGULAR BASIC, IT'S LIKE A DRUG, IDEK. D:
Erhem. [/capslock]

I will now proceed to check my music folder and hopefully come back with a bunch of songs.

Soooo. :D

Acid House Kings - Yes! You love me
The Weepies - Gotta Have You

And yeah, I kinda admit it, I couldn't be arsed to search through a good 100GB of songs for something that isn't too obvious, but I believe

Tiger Trap - Prettiest Boy &
Amy Millan - Skinny Boy

are made for Colin. MADE, I TELL YOU. :D
Erhem, enough with the capslock already.

Hope I could help. ^^

! I just checked out the lyrics and that Weepies song is pretty much on the money, I might have to download it and then angst over the decision of what song to use!

Aww, very Colin songs <3 Pretty long eyelashes indeed, that kind of hotness should be illegal!

THANK YOU FOR ALL THIS :D

[junkshop-disco.livejournal.com]

Adagio For Strings gives me goosebumps ♥.

[kylezy.livejournal.com]

I want to cry every time I hear it, it's gorgeous.

[a_shadow_there.livejournal.com]

Nope, never seen it on a mix before.

As to other songs, one of my fave "I've missed you and also sort of love you" songs is 'My Old Man' by Joni Mitchell (though whether or not it would be compatible with other songs on the mix is a different story, of course).

Um, what else? Oh, 'I Was Unconscious, it Was a Dream' by Slow Club. 'Tambourine 'n' Thyme' by Nana Grizol, maybe? 'Christmas Card From a Hooker in Minneapolis' by Tom Waits, but that's not really a Bradley/Colin fanmix type of track (useless suggestion much, Ria? *rolls eyes*).

[kylezy.livejournal.com]

I was looking at that Slow Club one actually but then I decided the message wasn't quite right. I just got the album the other day, what did you think of it?

Thanks for your help, Ria <3 Tambourine 'n' Thyme has fantastic lyrics:

And I can sit here every night, yes I can watch the world go by,
And know that I'm in motion to occasionally think of you,
And just hope that you realize that when you sit here by my side,
Whatever that implies will be just fine.

Wow. That's perfect. I'm gonna have to find this one and download!

[a_shadow_there.livejournal.com]

You're very welcome - it's a gorgeous song, isn't it? If you have trouble finding it, I can always upload the album for you.

I adore 'So Yeah'. It was one of my favourites of last year. I saw Slow Club earlier this year, while they were out here supporting Camera Obscura, and were bloody brilliant. I ended up being more excited about them than Camera Obscura.

Some other things:

1. That's my point, it's classic love interest chivalry, the subtext is GLARING.

2. One of my favourite covers is Foals doing 'Hollaback Girl', so check and mate, my friend.

3. THERE SHOULD BE A RULE IN BRITISH LAW THAT SAYS TEMPORARY LAPSES IN SANITY ARE OKAY WHEN BRADLEY JAMES IS INVOLVED. YES, I THINK HE SHOULD HAVE HIS OWN LAW.

hahahaha omg. the more I watch that gif, the more gay I see and the more embarrassed I am for Colin & Bradley and them pretending it doesn't exist.
wow @ that Twilight video..I mean, what? that is just horrible. you know my brother went to see it IN THEATERS? ON THE FIRST NIGHT IT CAME OUT?? I'm sorry, I just think that is the lamest thing in the history of lameness and everyone should know about it.

I haven't seen it around but I'm kind of oblivious to everything, so..also- omg, last year I was totally all EVERYONE LISTEN TO THIS BAND THEY ARE SO GOOD and no one would listen and I posted Home on my tumblr like, twenty times and then after I gave up, I see someone's posted it and it has a billion reblogs and twice as many likes. :| anyway, that was pointless..

um, I don't have any ideas..there's a song (Tourist (http://i49.tinypic.com/5lqtr6.jpg), towards the end) I know that's all "you're my home" or whatever, but I don't think that's the same thing..
you should totally use Love Connection (http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/3530822107858609294/). hahaha, jay kay.

I want them to play Untitled at my funeral. (y)

[kylezy.livejournal.com]

Lol, it is indeed horrible, but that was my point - the cheese factor, it is rife and unsubtle in the slightest!

Aww, poor indie kid. Yes, you were cool before everyone else *pets* :P No, I know what you mean, that's annoying.

No, that's good, I like the lyrics to Tourist -

Everywhere I go I'm a tourist,
But if you stay with me, I'll always be at home.

I like it! And that Grrls song, I actually like that one too, it's very Colin, except for that whole 'menstrual blood' bit :/

I'll always come around when you're down, Angela <3

[vinca15.livejournal.com]

*grrrls. yes, I'm going to be a dick and correct you. =0 except that's not even a real thing that's just what I call them..the real thing is (((GRRRLS))) but I haven't got time for parenthesis! I'm a busy person. except I'm not.
hahahah so like, Colin is a slut? or I don't know, omg I'm so sorry but like, there's video footage of this play that I wanted to see and I'm like WHOA right now like WHOA WHOA WHOA. like WHOOOOOOOOOOOOA. my goodness. this is probably me on crack cause like I don't know but I feel very crack-like and I'm sorry but you're going to have to be the victim of my crackiness or whatever the fuck you know? did you ever watch the Chappelle show? (sp?) that crack guy was so fucking funny. I liked him. I liked that show. it was a good show. he should've kept going. omg like. omg. dude I am so excited right now, like, life is great sometimes you know? seriously. I love grrrls. I love them like how people sometimes love other things or people or whatever? you know like love love. love is great. BUTTERFLIES ARE GREAT. omg one time there was this lady buy on me and I think it was on me cause my sweater was purple but anyways, I flicked if off me and I didn't feel sad. =0 cause omg I kept flicking it but it kept coming back and it's like, okay dick get the fuck out. you know? fucking dicky butterflies. anyways, if you haven't guessed already that play is grrrls related. you remember that bitchy gif with the slapping? yea omg. I heard there were like, leeches and rimjobs or some shit? this thing is going to BLOW MY MIND with the amount of weirdness and gayness and yea I don't know.

oh imagine if during the parts Paul was singing that, like, ghost!Angela showed up? =0 omg that would be so scary. scary but fun. well fun for me. good times.

okay I'll stop now and I'm sorry and I will probably be embarrassed for this later on but right now I don't care cause I'm gonna watch THE DOROTHY K. I'M GONNA WATCH IT.

[kylezy.livejournal.com]

I knew I forgot an R in there! My sincerest apologies to you and Zac <3

Dude, I cannot imagine you on crack because I cannot imagine a spazzier person. I can picture you saying all this (you still look like Julian) and your face is MENTAL, seriously, you've got Bradley James' crazy eyes going on.

YOU HAVE FUN WATCHING THE DOROTHY K, OKAY? WATCH IT REAL GOOD. ENJOY YOUR LEECHES AND RIMJOBS!

I am off to get drunk with my friends because that's apparently what real people do, IDK, I think I'd prefer to stay home and look at pictures of Colin Morgan tbh.

Don't forget you love me, this is very important!

[vinca15.livejournal.com]

I accept your apology but Zac does not. don't worry about it though, he's just being a pretentious dick.

hahaha, people always say that my posts/messages/whatever else come out like I'm hyper and I'm the exact opposite in real life..I did have crazy eyes last nite though. mm, BJ crazy eyes.

there were no rimjobs! I'm disappoint. =( but I guess the dry humping made up for it. (y)

oh I hope you had/are having fun with your life-having!! you know, kids these days. why can't hanging out with friends end in a book club meeting or some shit, always with the alcohol. tsk tsk. I don't even know what I'm talking about, I just wanted to type tsk tsk. pictures of Colin >>>> anything else, and that is a fact.

hmm, I don't know about that. if you chose that userpic on purpose, I might have to kill you and I don't kill people I love. =0

[kylezy.livejournal.com]

How are you gonna kill me if zombies are eating your delicious, cracky brains?

[vinca15.livejournal.com]

well I'm like those people that die really really fast, you know? I'm sure if I was in the 1300s or whenever the plague hit, I'd be the first one dead..and so if zombies do exist someday (oh someday) then I'm sure I'd be the first one to turned so this whole situation would never occur and I'd probably be the one eating your brains because I'm 100% sure zombie!Angela would fucking kick ass.

you should just like, not reply to my comments.

Hi new friend! *waves*

Oh, Merlin is SO loving being doted on, who wouldn't be?!
