[rotation 62] the shape of your hands
Sunday, April 24, 2011 posted at 5:00 PM
Sorry for my long absence, I was away on vacation for a few weeks in Taiwan and I haven't felt very inspired to make any mixtapes/rotations lately. Anyways, here's a personal mixtape I made, I guess the songs are directed to a person/various people in my life, mostly centred around love/relationships. Hope you enjoy, I'll try to update more frequently in the future!
Also, Mediafire wasn't working for me so I used 4shared this time - hope that works for most of you. If you want any songs uploaded individually, feel free to drop me a comment. Also thanks to everyone who left comments on my previous rotation(s), I love reading them. :)
- Haruhi
01. Hologram - Katie Herzig
You know you're just like me
A mystery with nothing more to see
02. Gray or Blue - Jaymay
I know the shape of your hands because I watch them when you talk
And I know the shape of your body cause I watch it when you walk
03. Parachute (Radio Mix) - Cheryl Cole
Won't tell anyone how you turn my world around
I won't tell anyone how your voice is my favourite sound
04. Nonfiction Love Song - Jillian Edwards
And I wish my voice would echo
Through galaxies and such
To scratch the surface of
Explaining to you just how much I'm glad
05. Hiding My Heart - Adele
But like everything I've ever known
You'll disappear some day
So I'll spend my whole life hiding
My heart away
06. Falling Slowly - Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova
Taking this sinking boat
And point it home
We've still got time
07. The Cruel One - Gold Motel
I don't want to waste my time
Standing in a waiting line
When I know what I want, and you're just what I want
08. True Affection - The Blow
And true affection floats
True affection sinks like a stone
I never felt so close
I never felt so all alone
09. This Love (Will Be Your Downfall) - Ellie Goulding
Oh, I don't like the way I never listen to myself
I feel like I'm on fire
I'm too shy to cry for help
Oh, I don't think you know me much at all
10. Don't Wake Me Up - The Hush Sound
You came to me in seamless sleep
Slipped right in behind my eye
On the back of my mind
We swam a sea of pretty sights and chandelier skies
I swore I could feel you breathe
It was all so real to me
11. In My Veins - Andrew Belle
Oh, you're in my veins, and I cannot get you out
12. 9 Crimes - Damien Rice
It's the wrong time
For somebody new
It's a small crime
And I got no excuse
13. Haunted (Acoustic) - Taylor Swift
You and I walk a fragile line
I have known it all this time
But I never thought I'd live to see it break
14. A Girl A Boy And A Graveyard - Jeremy Messersmith
And I feel like I'm some kind of Frankenstein
Waiting for a shock to bring me back to life
But I don't want to spend my time
Waiting for lightning to strike
15. Awake My Soul - Mumford & Sons
Lend me your hand and we'll conquer them all
But lend me your heart and I'll just let you fall
Lend me your eyes I can change what you see
But your soul you must keep totally free

A mixture of indie/pop, all in English. I would list some of my favourites but that's about half the mixtape, haha. I've had Hologram on repeat for the past few days, along with A Girl A Boy And A Graveyard. You can never go wrong with Glen Hansard, Damien Rice (9 Crimes is absolutely beautiful), Mumford & Sons, and The Hush Sound. Surprisingly I really liked Taylor Swift's acoustic version of Haunted, I'm not a big fan of her but I think it's a good fit in this mix. I know this mixtape doesn't really have a concrete "theme" and probably won't seem coherent to anyone but me, but I hope that you find something you can relate to and if not, it's still good music. :) Let me know what you think if you're taking, I love hearing your feedback!
