you and me (we‘re a sure thing)
a mary/ririka playlist
spotify/apple/youtube
a mix for a ship that is near and dear to my heart.
inspired greatly by cat/orsimer‘s beautifully crafted characterizations of ririka and mary and I hope I was able to capture some of that essence through this soundtrack. what it is to be seen and treated as human.
this is also dedicated to the incredibly talented nite @noiholic who inspired me to make it in the first place! happy birthday, my dear friend! I hope you dig it.
and shout out to the meariri fandom for being awesome in general. you’re all iconic. this is for you too.
anyway, I’ve blabbered enough. for anyone that checks it out, I genuinely hope you enjoy! tracklist and pointed lyrics under the cut. it’s a long one, sorry! it’s all about the journey. and so, they were gambling partners...
losing hand \ a silent film
I'll believe in trust,
if you believe in blindness
so show a little faith,
faith in human kindness
I'm a losing hand,
I'm a play too far
I'm a step in the wrong direction,
still, you hitch your wagon to this star
paradise (feat. dermot kennedy) \ meduza
in the fading light, hearts collide,
shadows dance in the distance
something just ain't right, I'm cold inside,
help me find what I'm missing
love song \ kelly sweet
'cause love is the key we must turn,
and truth is the flame we must burn
freedom, the lesson we must learn
do you know what I mean?
have your eyes really seen?
try (feat. lola rhodes) \ wish I was
I wanna roll the dice,
'cause there's a chance I could get this right
and I'm hoping to land on something I like,
with you on the line
you make me want to try
blue heaven midnight crush \ betty who
my love, tell me what you're thinking,
'cause one way or the other I can take it
'cause I'm so tired of dreaming,
you hold my hand and I forget to fake it
'cause it feels like I've been falling forever
'cause we're more than friends, we're perfect together
I got it bad, and you're my blue heaven midnight crush
fff \ zara larson
is there a spark for us,
or is it just purely platonic?
is this a story arc?
'cause if it‘s ours, it'd be iconic
can’t look away (feat. olivia somerlyn) \ tydi & christopher tin
killed some time with you, fell so far
everything to lose,
my whole heart is wrapped up inside your hands,
and I never want it back
how could you understand,
how could you feel the same?
I close my eyelids, shut out the violence
here in the silence, you're my horizon
chemical \ kerli
this love is more than chemical,
it feels unusual
and I can't get enough
this love is more than chemical
and we're unbreakable
love exists \ amy lee
love makes no sense, love has no name
love drowns you in tears and it sets your heart on fire
love has no fear, love has no reason
so infinitely vast and we're standing at the edge
take my hand, and erase the past forever
my love is you... my love you are
wondrous love \ karmina
run like thieves, stolen treasure
hide in trees, come down never
midnight, moonlight, we might climb these stars
floating, falling, landing in your arms
what a wondrous love is this
that caused a heart of bliss
till death you'll share my crown
oh, my soul
(this is how the momobami twins love. once you have their heart, you have it forever)
sure thing \ man cub & svrcina
baby, you're a sure thing
baby, you're a sure thing
baby, you're the one thing
that I can always count on
even if it's only you and I,
I never question
and you know I'm a sure thing too
baby, I'm a sure thing too
run \ sorn
stuck here, waiting for what?
what’s here, but a whole lotta nothing?
so why don’t we, why don’t we run
do all the things that we want yeah
no fear, taking control
I’m good with wherever we’re going
so why don’t we, why don’t we run
do what we’ve wanted for once yeah
find me \ boyce avenue
find me, here in your arms
now I'm wondering where you've always been?
and blindly, I came to you,
knowing you'd breathe new life from within
with you in time
there's nothing else
my life stands still
you are the will that makes me strong
the beacon \ a fine frenzy
burning beacon in the night
can't feel its heat or see its light,
that single solitary guide
it must get lonely there sometimes
let me stand by you,
the honor is mine
let me stand by you,
loneliest light
light \ darren hayes
light... it blisters
your light,
coming down so bright,
transformation
turn it up, give me some room to grow
turn it up, give me the sense to know
I have been cold, I have been blind
you were sent to change my mind,
I can put my faith in you
feel \ darren hayes
I no longer live like a man in the dark,
hiding all the pieces of my broken heart
way up high I'm holding on,
way up high I'm holding on to you
I don’t know what to say \ the magnetic fields
so I don't know what to say
I don't know what to say
I don't know what to say
I don't know...
I could try to shove you
off the nearest cliff
I could say I lo...
say something loving \ the xx
you say something loving, it's so overwhelming,
the thrill of affection, feels so unfamiliar
you say something loving, without hesitation
it hits me, it hits me...
it feels so unfamiliar
humanity \ atb
others walked on by in their blindness,
but you refused to let me be
my disguise you saw behind this,
you pushed on in and set me free
and it was in protection,
you held on with such certainty
embraced by your affection,
you wrapped me in humanity
chinese lanterns \ a silent film
as one dancing figurine came sailing into view,
know I saw your face the way you want me to
and then just like in a dream,
the night burst like the flowers bloom
just for us, it's all for us
