Another Guardian playlist

[clevermanka]

I've been finding more songs that feel very Guardian to me. Since today is the one-year anniversary of the show's premiere on Youku, I figured I'd post it now. Some of these are more, idk, meta? than they are appropriate to any characters (Personal Jesus, Secret World), and Dessa's could be applied to a lot of OTPs (although the line about the locket hit home). Not thrilled about putting an artist in twice on such a short playlist, but both SVRCINA songs are perfect and I just heard of her so... there you go. This is an even angstier mix than the previous one. Happy(?) listening.

1. GOOD FOR YOU- Dessa
i'm here with fog in my locket
your name in my teeth
youtube

2. WHO ARE YOU- SVRCINA
you're not such an easy target
one minute i know you then i don't
youtube

3. PERSONAL JESUS- Depeche Mode
i will deliver
you know I'm a forgiver
youtube

4. HORIZONS- Puscifer
dust devil swept you away
my recollections are all that's left of you
youtube

5. BATTLEFIELD- SVRCINA
i will be your sword and shield, your camouflage
and you will be mine
youtube

6. DANCING ON BROKEN GLASS- Poets of the Fall
parade all your memories for the moments we shared
never fade away
youtube

7. ASHES- The Struts
you were taken from me but i can still see that smile
youtube

8. SECRET WORLD- Peter Gabriel
did you think you didn't have to choose it
that i alone could win or lose it
youtube

Full playlist on YouTube.

The other contender for the gif in the post

The other one had more whump tho, which I thought was appropriate for the mix.

Also kind of laughing at myself for saying "I've been finding more songs that feel very Guardian to me" because jesus, what fucking doesn't?

[jo_lasalle]

PERSONAL JESUS! OMG I'd wondered about that one. :DDD

I have to listen to these when I'm not in transit!

[clevermanka]

It's just so perfect for both Shen Wei and Zhao Yunlan. Their savior complexes, the innuendo...however you want to interpret the lyrics, I think they're Appropriate Mood. Hope you enjoy!

[jo_lasalle]

And holy crap that gif! This is... doing things to me. (I love the conclusion of that arc, but it's also the half of the drama that I've watched a lot less frequently, and this is apparently a visual that ... deserved having drawn attention to it.)

Thumbs up

I haven't watched the show but I like your playlists. Keep posting them.

[clevermanka]

Yay! Glad you like the Emo Tunes and thank you for your music recs, too.

I loved the last one, so I'm really looking forward to this!

(My head has turned Sara Bareilles's Chasing the Sun into a weird outsider-perspective Guardian AU -- 'how do I do it / with just words and just music / capture the feeling / that my earth is somebody's ceiling' -- because all songs are about Guardian, or can be...)

[clevermanka]

You said, remember that life is
Not meant to be wasted
We can always be chasing the sun!
So fill up your lungs and just run
But always be chasing the sun!

OH GOD MY HEARTTTTTTTTTTTTT

[teaotter]

YOU SEE IT TOO!

Every goddamn song, every goddamn day.

'Tell me I'm the one you've been waiting for all your life' = Guardian

'We're rock bottom 'cause there ain't no stoppin and it's you and me against the world' = Guardian

'We will meet in a war zone, we will have the time of our lives' = Guardian

It's all Guardian, all the time in my head.

[clevermanka]

Okay, you cannot give me those lyrics without song links, COME ON.

[teaotter]

Hold On, Melissa Ferrick

That Girl Is a Problem, Natalia Kills

Dragons, Guante and Big Cats (a Bandcamp link, since Youtube doesn't want to give me the right version of this one)

... and these are all from very different parts of my music collection, in order to illustrate how far gone I am on this show.

[clevermanka]

I used everything from One Direction to Puscifer, so I totally get it.

EVERYTHING IS ALL GUARDIAN ALL THE TIME

Oh! And thank you for the links! I'm gonna fire up the media computer so I can listen to them on the good speakers while I work on my fic \o/

[clevermanka]

I really REALLY like the second two! Definitely going to look into more of their stuff, thank you.

[no_detective]

oh yay, new music - thank you! and that gif is A LOT <3

[clevermanka]

I hope you find at least one song you like! And yes, YES IT IS.

[no_detective]

i am already liking several, thank youuuuu (wow, peter gabriel!)

there was a period of about 2 months when every song made me think of this ship, or presented a challenge to be made to fit the ship, lol. so i truly understand! ♥
