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!

Labels: Adele, Andrew Belle, Damien Rice, Ellie Goulding, Glen Hansard, Gold Motel, Jaymay, Jeremy Messersmith, Jillian Edwards, Katie Herzig, mixtape, Mumford and Sons, Taylor Swift, The Hush Sound

I bring you my first fanmix, centred around one of my favourite literary characters: Draco Malfoy.



* tracklist

that's okay - the hush sound
you were a child who was made out of glass
you carried a black heart passed down from your dad

swim until you can't see land - frightened rabbit
i may have died in a land-slide
of the rocks, the hopes and fears

bird song - florence & the machine
i picked up the bird and above the din i said,
"that's the last song you'll ever sing"
held him down, broke his neck
taught him a lesson he wouldn't forget

but in my dreams began to creep
that old familiar tweet, tweet, tweet

spies - coldplay
i awake to see that no one is free
we're all fugitives, look at the way we live
down here, i cannot sleep from fear. no,
i said which way do i turn?
oh i forget everything i learnt.

paranoid android - the section quartet
instrumental.

empty - ray lamontagne
well i looked my demons in the eyes,
laid bare my chest, said, "do your best, destroy me.
you see, i've been to hell and back so many times,
i must admit you kind of bore me."

1001 dirty tricks to kill your king - the age of rockets
a new moon, fragile as glass, same as the last
a new night, waits for you now, in back of your house

and armies of the dead will fade
in rear view mirror display

time is running out - the section quartet
instrumental.

rabbit heart (raise it up) - florence and the machine
this is a gift, it comes with a price
who is the lamb and who is the knife?

wilhelms scream - james blake
i don't know about my dreams
i don't know about my dreamin anymore
all i know is
i'm fallin, fallin, fallin, fallin
might as well fall in

somewhere a clock is ticking - snow patrol
wage your war
another soldier, says he's not afraid to die
well i am scared
in slow motion, the blast is beautiful

i'm in here - sia
i'm in here
a prisoner of history
can anybody help?

back against the wall - cage the elephant
my tongue has now become
a platform for your lies

like a sitting duck just waiting for the fall
you know
yeah you know you got my back against the wall

help i'm alive - metric
i tremble
they're gonna eat me alive
if i stumble
they're gonna eat me alive

once - hurts (diana vickers cover)
who or whatever you do
don't let anyone hurt you
touch them where it hurts
and watch them leave

i'm only gonna let you kill me once
i'm only gonna let you kill me then some

raising your voice ... trying to stop an echo - hammock
instrumental.

I think there are complexities to Draco beyond simply being the villain, but I don't think he's good at heart, either. I tried to pick songs that represent his inner conflict, and I think the result is a mixtape that sums up how I see him: a flawed character who is entangled in events out of his depth. It's a general mix but mostly focused on the events in Half-Blood Prince, I suppose, because I think that's where we see the greatest change and inner struggle in Draco. Genre-wise, a lot of Draco-themed mixes I see are metal-centered, and I have to say I've never really understood that, so this mix is a lot softer in comparison. I think the two instrumental songs by The Section Quartet are indescribably perfect for Draco, the others were chosen for a mixture of lyrics and overall feel.
