[fanmix: dark tower] a song for our fathers

[perfectworry]

title: a song for our fathers
fandom: Dark Tower
characters: the Ka-Tet of 19 [Roland Deschain of Gilead, Eddie Dean of New York, Susannah Dean of New York, John "Jake" Chambers of New York and Oy of Mid-World]
notes: as soon as I heard "Wave of Sorrow (Birdland)," I knew I had to put it on a Dark Tower fanmix. it's so perfect. and "The Ghost of Genova Heights" has been my OTP song for Susannah and Eddie since I first read the books. also, "Exit" fits Roland scarily well. (possible spoilers for the whole series?)
notes 2: (March 2013) in order to comply with the 8tracks TOS, I could only have two songs by the same artist, so I've switched out "Welcome, Ghosts" by Explosions in the Sky for "Route 666" by God is an Astronaut.
listen: here

i. welcome, ghosts - explosions in the sky
instrumental

i. route 666 - god is an astronaut
instrumental

ii. wave of sorrow (birdland) - u2
blessed are the kings who have left their thrones
they are buried in this valley of dry bones

iii. a song for our fathers - explosions in the sky
instrumental

iv. the ghost of genova heights - stars
roses are the flower he would prefer

v. crash tactics - 65daysofstatic
instrumental

vi. rose parade - elliot smith
you've got me singing along with some half-hearted victory song
won't you follow me down to the rose parade?

vii. greet death - explosions in the sky
instrumental

viii. exit - u2
hand in his pocket, finger on the steel
the pistol weighed heavy, his heart he could feel
was beating, beating, beating, beating
(oh my love oh my love oh my love oh my love)

ix. coda - god is an astronaut
instrumental

I FRIGGIN LOVE YOU MAN! I was just scanning fanmix, thinking it was shitsville this week and then I scrolled past 'ka-tet of nineteen' and I had this funny little jolt of happiness... And then I went back and realised it was because it is from the Dark Tower. Words cannot describe how much I love that series. Will stop cheesing on now and download :) Thank you!
