- a Merlin/Arthur fanmix
How stern are the woes of the desolate mourner
As he bends in still grief o'er the hallowed bier

Flat Of The Blade - Massive Attack ft. Guy Garvey
How does it feel, the weight of the steel?
The weight of the steel, the flat of the blade.
How does it feel to kneel at defeat,
At the choices you make?
Kettering - the Antlers
I didn't believe them when they told me,
That there was no saving you.
The Storm - Doves
Don't give up, be strong.
Don't be sad I'm gone.
Black Fur - Fredrik
Noble blood will nobly die.
If It's True - Anaïs Mitchell ft. Justin Vernon
If it's true what they say,
If my love is gone for good,
You can take this heart away,
And can take this flesh and blood.
42 - Coldplay
Those who are dead are not dead,
They're just living in my head.
And since I fell for that spell,
I am living there as well.
This Empty Northern Hemisphere - Gregory Alan Isakov
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.
Bixby Canyon Bridge - Death Cab For Cutie
I descended a dusty gravel ridge beneath the Bixby Canyon Bridge,
Until I eventually arrived at the place where your soul had died.
Barefoot in the shallow creek, I grabbed some stones from underneath,
And waited for you to speak to me.
In the silence it became so very clear,
That you had long ago disappeared.
I cursed myself for being surprised,
That this didn't play like it did in my mind.
I Still Do - I Am Kloot
When I was a boy I looked out at the sea,
Thought I saw you and me,
In the waves on the breeze.
I still do.
Been So Long - Vetiver
I can't believe that you're knocking,
Knocking on my door,
Oh, it's been so long, been so long,
Fate has a way of showing I'm where you belong.
Notes:
- Endless thanks to the incomparable
seether_79 for the covers.
- The mix formerly known as "Arthur is dead and Merlin is really sad about that".
- This was supposed to end miserably with From A Sinking Boat by the Magnetic Fields (know that I love you, know that I wrote my last words to you from a sinking boat), but you know, these boys, they just won't let that happen in my mind, so I added a dash of hope with Vetiver at the end. Death is never enough to keep them apart.
- You know Colin Morgan would be nice enough to leave a comment if he took this mix, so you should be too?
- Previous mixes*: Arthur/Merlin, another Arthur/Merlin, yet ANOTHER Arthur/Merlin, the Arthur/Merlin drabble mix, Morgana, another Morgana, Colin/Bradley, another Colin/Bradley, yet ANOTHER Colin/Bradley, the last Colin/Bradley mix I swear!, Arthur/Gwen breakup and the 24 song Merlin character analysis.

I think I might have swallowed a few tears at 'I Still Do', and really, this shouldn't be so good, it's a bit criminal.
I also fell in love with Doves. A lot. ♥
tl;dr: I LOVE YOU, YOU ARE AWESOME, THIS IS AWESOME.

Doves are really ace, they're one of those bands where I don't think I'd ever put one of their albums on to vibe to, but they have someone ridiculously amazing individual tracks. My favourite song possibly ever is by them actually. Umm, here, Pounding (http://www.mediafire.com/?bnsztdmtm4y), if you're interested.
THANK YOU. For taking, for commenting, for being an absolute dear ♥

Oh. Oh. I'm sure I know that song for from somewhere, but I just can't pin it down at the moment.
It's a bit annoying.
But I kind of love the line
In and out of love
and institutions
I don't know why, it's just great.

Na, don't think so.
German radio doesn't play these kind of things.
We have a strictly!pop radio, unfortunately.
But! I just remembered that it's on one of the mixtapes my best friend made me that I can't listen to anymore, because my recorder is broken. ;o;
