I wanted to hurt you but the victory was that I could not stomach it (Versus: An Eric/Sookie Mix)





Okay this is for the build up, and the last song is like, the release. As in, Eric and Sookie are released into the wild to be SUPER AWESOME. The rest of it is the lead up - I was focusing on the dreams/lust from S2 and then I have this whole conception of Sookie as a marionette (controlled by Eric) who cuts her own strings, equalizing the relationship. There's also this sort of mutated fairy tale idea I've been tossing around lately with respect to them. So those themes, basically, are what I was going for if you're the type of person who likes to have narratives with their soundtracks. Just comparing all the soundtracks I've personally made, I think this is my coolest!

Oh also Versus can be a few things, for me it is Eric Vs. Sookie that becomes Eric and Sookie vs. Other Options That Suck, Or Something Like That


01 | little dragon | a new
despite the shape, this twisted form
kept me kept and wanting more
i saw you peeking through the door

blinded, like new
i'm feeling much stranger about you


02 | yeah yeah yeahs | heads will roll (willy joy sex dream dub)
dripping with alchemy
shiver, stop shivering
looking glass, take the past
off with your head
dance until you're dead
heads will roll on the floor


03 | radiohead | i am a wicked child
now i wake up in the night
lying on my bed
it's tugging at my arms and legs
like i was a marionette


04 | magic wands | warrior (the xx remix)
get down on the floor
like a snake you can slide
ever get the feeling you're the only one i could love?


05 | amanda blank | might like you better (booka shade remix)
i've got something for you
let me give you something to grab and hold
if you settle for a little maybe we can see stars, because

i might like you better if we slept together


06 | interpol | public pervert (carlos d remix)
but how many days will it take to land
how many ways to reach abandon
oh, abandon

so swoon baby, starry nights
may our bodies remain
you move with me i'll treat you right
i am honest, that way


07 | zero 7 | mr. mcgee
i touched the night, now it's gone, felt it right on me
i'm running hard and the dust, now it's right on me
i'm writing blind and these words, they're all over me

oh, lost them in the forest
oh, dawn is almost on us
oh, spell is getting stronger
down the well is nothing but wet
and it's all in my head
but if i'm in a dream, i don't care


08 | hi-brid | silent bullet (la roux vs. the knife)
yes in a dream all my teeth fell out
a cracked smile and a silent shout
(i'll explain it once thoroughly:
he'll have you later, cause it's never free)

this time baby, i'll be bulletproof
won't let you turn around
i'll tell you now, i'm much too proud
all you do is fill me up with doubt
but i caught a glimpse, now it haunts me


09 | royksopp | what else is there?
if i am the storm and i am the wonder
then the flashlights, nightmares, and sudden explosions -
there's no room where i can go, and you've got secrets too
it's about you and the sun, a morning run
the story of my maker
what i have and what i ache for


10 | basement jaxx | scars
coming loose at the seams
blind spots and voices
headlights and black demons
peering in my hollow core
grudges, they're strangling
and splinters and dry skin

save me, give me wings to fly
make me a reason to fight
kiss me then i'll wake up
fairy tales, make up


11 | the faint | forever growing centipedes (la dolce vita remix)
every time i move i'm in another dimension
everything i do changes what i want
i see a choice i make explode in thousands of pieces
every time i choose i become a shard
we'll seal ourselves in a timeless web
if every second we make new futures
we'll see how long we can hide from death


12 | deadmau5 | ghosts n stuff
it's been so long, i've been out of my body with you
i feel alone, feel at home, feel like nothing is true
it's been so far, i'd been walking the line on my own
we have sold in the cold, physical desires
you set me free, set me out on the run

THIS is insane, Anna! I mean, insane. And god, each song choice is incredible. Especially the Zero 7 song.

(PS HOW INSANE IS SOA SO FAR?!)

SO INSANE SO FAR, OMG THEY ARE PUSHING IT TONIGHT.

And thanks! I had a very specific idea of how I wanted to make it so it was just sort of slogging through months of remixes/cold sounding stuff to find things.

Thanks Steph! I really like the sound of this one, I think you'll be into it (it's kind of similar to that Breaking Dawn one I made).

I manipped Anna's head onto a ballerina and then cut out a picture of a marionette to get the strings! I'm happy with how it came out, thanks for the compliment!

Holy Moses! First of all, that cover art is BEAUTIFUL and just the right amount of unnerving (BUT SEXY-UNNERVING, HI THERE, ASKARS). And I lovelovelove the electric-dancey feel you're going with instead of the more earthy, twangy, nitty-gritty sound I usually associate wit True Blood. I AM ALREADY SO EXCITED FOR THE RELEEEEEASE YOU HAVE DESCRIBED, I FORGOT HOW MUCH I LOVE THESE TWO.

AAAH REALLY?! That is so interesting! Since the show doesn't use much music that isn't composed for the show I think everyone must have a unique conception of the sound of it. Mine is closer to what's on this mix since even though it's got that southern twang I see the whole thing as a darkly mystical fairy land. But I can see earthy grit too! Hm. Cool.

And thanks! The last song might be my favorite, I've certainly spent a lot of time in the dark on my bed with headphones going nuts over it. It's pretty epic.

I've been toying with the idea of an eric/sookie mix since reading book 4. always had these three songs in mind, but couldn't put a whole disc together.

Haha I like this comment! I don't know much about the fandom but what I've seen has been really nice - I guess since pretty much everyone's united in general opinions about characters, so it ends up being a party most of the time!

And you're welcome!
