drive faster - a mix for Ronan Lynch from The Raven Cycle
listen on 8tracks | download .rar (dropbox)
Gansey's mix | Adam's mix | Noah's mix
the hardest of these mixes to pull together, because Ronan is a mess. but I think it says what I wanted it to say about this extraordinary creature and the battles he fights, loses, wins - in particular there are songs about Kavinsky, Gansey and Adam, though sometimes they're all the same song. I'm crazy about him and I hope you like this thing I have made of/for him. track list above the read more, lyrics beneath it~

Ultra, ultra, get me in there
Ultra, ultra, get me out
Bring Me Back A Dog - IAMX
They say the wretched get their kingdom -
Bring it on, it's my time, let's go - we all die
God, give a little love
Bring me back a dog in the next life
Micronaut - Deathboy
"I would never want you to feel pain, in any fashion."
Choke - Hybrid feat. John Graham
You choke it but you know
It comes back when you're sleeping
Cuts you in the dark
My Superman - Santigold
I watch you capture what I can't hold
Now make it make some sense to me
You are, you are my -
Dream On - Depeche Mode
Paying debt to karma you party for a living -
What you take won't kill you, but careful what you're giving
Better Than Love - Hurts
And you see nothing but the red light
You let your body burn like never before
And it feels better than love
Hell Baby - Bunny Lake
And all your complications, your constant violations -
You don't look well, baby
You don't look well, baby
Passenger - Deftones
Nice cool seats there to cushion your knees
Now to calm me, take me round again
Don't pull over
This time won't you please
Drive faster
The Gentleman - Jordan Reyne
And you learned what is said
And you learned how to leave
Your doors breathing open
Pull the loneliness out of me and
Be a gentleman
Be a gentleman for me
To Be Torn - Kyla La Grange
As my tongue tripped over white teeth
Bitten soft skin with my hands tied
Oh god, I've strayed
Sick - Grouper
[instrumental]
It's a War In There - Dar Williams
Well, you have been kind, and I know it seems hopeless
You smooth the ground, tear the knots all apart
You're helping me move from the inside to the outside
You're trying so hard and I can't even start
The Mirror-Blue Night - Spring Awakening OBC
I'm at home with a ghost who got left in the cold
Who knocks at my peace with no keys to my soul
Dormi - Helium Vola
Dormi e guardi il mondo
dipinto dal tuo sogno
sembra più calmo, più bello
vista con ali d'uccello
[sleep, and see the world painted by your dream; it seems more peaceful, more beautiful, seen with the wings of a bird]
The Proximity of Death (Blue Eyed Boy) - Jordan Reyne
It's a short, sharp drop past three flights of stairs between you and I
Oh it isn't far and you'll get there fast 'cause you're so fragile
Will you see his smile, will you taste his tongue as you vanish by?
Phoenix - Inga Liljeström
For a new day will rise
We meet the dawn with sleepless eyes
Don't we, love?
Flames - VAST
You are the only thing that makes me want to live at all
Bricks and Mortar - Editors
Still no one understands the way you found your god
There's a bullet in your hands
Pour salt water on the wound
Pour salt water on the wound
This home is more than bricks and mortar
Pour salt water on the wound
The River, The Woods - Astronautalis
Hold still and listen, your hand on my heart
If you need them, these beacons will lead you back to the start
No axe has seen these woods since before your father stood
That path is beaten good from the feet of all that wandered through it
Old growth holds hope, let the brambles scrape your skin
Scars are storybooks, the blood will wash away your sins
Cloudbusting - Kate Bush
When you and sleep escape me
You're like my yo-yo that glowed in the dark
What made it special made it dangerous
So I bury it and forget
But every time it rains, you're here in my head
Like the sun coming out
Oh, I just know that something good is going to happen
I don't know when
But just saying it could even make it happen
