MIXTAPES

This thread is for the FF mixtape series I wanted to share with y'all, but I'll also use it as a place for putting any others that are KH, FF, or Disney related, or just things I think y'all might like, or that someone requests. Someday, I'll make an ultra-special mixtape for y'all and give a physical copy to all of you. BUT IT IS NOT THIS DAY!

.... Anyway... Kweh...

I'll list every mix separately on the first post and say what page they're on, if necessary. And... I'll eventually add youtube or whatever else links to all these songs to make it easier for y'all. All I can say 'til then is to look them up, hehe. sweatdrop

Um... One important thing, and I know the guild in general hardly has problems with things like this, but JUST IN CASE, I have to ask everybody to please be excellent to each other. If you don't like something someone else requested, you are free to voice your opinion, but don't be mean please.

Crystal Potpourri
A Final Fantasy mixtape series.

Please keep in mind that these aren't supposed to be held up as a standard or anything - these are just songs that make me think of certain characters or events. I did the best I could, as always. Mixtape making is very serious. ^_~

OH! One last thing. This series has a mix for Final Fantasy I through X. I'd like to do all of them, but I've never played XI, so I can't make one for it, and you've gotta be kupo as heck if you expect my OCD a** to skip a game in a numbered game series!

I.
Courage - Answering the Call

1. The Cave - Mumford & Sons
-An Anthem For Your Journey-

And I will hold on hope and I won't let you choke
on the noose around your neck.
And I'll find strength in pain and I will change my ways.
I'll know my name as it's called again.

2. Morning Calls - Dashboard Confessional
-Dedication-

Shield your eyes. Conceal your lies.
Don't blink - everyone's watching.
They'll think you're up to something.
They need for you to be
everything that they can not
be themselves.

3. Got to Do It - Andrew W. K.
-Remember Back Then?-

We were nothin' but kids on top

never gonna stop.

We never let down,

we got to keep up.

Keep our heads on "high",

never gonna die,

'cause we gotta keep it alive.

4. A Letter From St. Jude - The WYO's
-Everybody Wants To Change The World-

Once again, I'm cornered into pleasantries.
Every martyr turns his hopes into his fees.
I suppose I should do something for everyone out there, and I want to.
And I want to be of help. I do, I do want to be of use.
I don't know what to do with all the prayers coming through,
coming through.

5. My Friends - Hey Ocean!
-The Bonds We've Made-

My friends have different points of view.
And some are cynical and some are just confused by the issues.
Sometimes we fight for days and days,
until I can't recall what I was trying to say in the first place.
But for better or for worse,
whether whispering secrets or shouting 'til my voice is hoarse...
Of all the friends I've made, and all the lost debates,
there's none that I would trade for anything.

6. Counting Blue Cars - Dishwalla
-Questioning-

Tell me all your thoughts on God.
'Cause I'd really like to meet her
and ask her why we're who we are.
Tell me all your thoughts on God.
'Cause I'm on my way to see her.
So tell me, am I very far now?

7. What A Good Boy (Live) - Barenaked Ladies
-Expectations and Individuality-

When I was born, they looked at me and said,
"What a good boy, what a smart boy, what a strong boy."
And when you were born, they looked at you and said,
"What a good girl, what a smart girl, what a pretty girl."
We've got these chains that hang around our necks.
People want to strangle us with them before we take our first breath.
Afraid of change,afraid of staying the same.
When temptation calls, we just look away.

8. Maps - Hey Ocean!
-Tceles nottub B!-

You drew a map so we'd remember all the places that we went to.
And although we never meant to, we lost it on our way.
You drew a map so we'd remember how to get back to the highway.
But instead we followed moonlight and were completely led astray.

And we have traveled this way all of our days.
And we will keep on following the dotted lines until we find a better place.

9. This Is a Suitable Valedictory - The Scene Aesthetic
-It's Been Some Kind Of Journey-

When times are hard, when things go bad, regardless, I am here.
When your whole world is crumbling, I promise to stay near.
We bring a balance into each other's lives.
We seek a challenge, and hope not to collide.
I can't describe to you quite everything. Just know that we are here for anything.

10. Shine a Light - The Tender Box
-2000 Years-

Your universe contracts into the morbid black.
You're feeling trapped and now you track me into the exact.
You're losing self-control and sacrifice your soul.
You're now a stranger to a world that you once used to know.
And now I see you drifting off into a room of sleep. You've lost your grip on all reality...
Shine a light on me!
Why can't you seem to complete things that you started?
Emptiness comes with no end where the things that you started
leave me in darkness. Please,shine a light on me!

11. Pretty Handsome Awkward - The Used
-Chaos-

Your market value, your resurrection, your shallow concept.
Help yourself, I hope you choke and you die.
I know you meant it. Nice ******** disguise, so hollow.
Embrace the burn, you bleed just like you puke while running a mile.

12. Embers - Owl City
-Keep Hope Alive-

And you'll find there'll be mornings when the ashes and embers are cold.
But you'll fight with a passion, and you'll never stop, 'cause you know.
Yeah, you know it gets better, and your story is yet to be told.
Every push, every shove, ever war, ever love, yeah, the coals are beginning to glow.
So I'm fanning the flames to climb so high, 'cause there's no other way we can stay alive.

'Cause we're burning bright as we all unite,
and when it's all said and done, we'll shine like the sun, so don't let the fire die.
And we'll watch the sky as it fills with light.
And though the embers are new, whatever you do, just don't let the fire die.

II.
Resilience - Losing and Carrying On


1. Burned Is the House - Alkaline Trio
-Fynn-

Burned is the house. Gone is the street. Here is the same disappointing retreat.
And I need it like hell if I'd lie to myself,
to think I could live that life over again.
Where the cuts were like guilt and the taste for your eyes. I'd say "We're up" when I couldn't just say "Goodnight."
If you cry me a river you can baptize me in,
I'd say "I guess that's it now, I've ******** seen everything."


2. Lovers In a Dangerous Time - Barenaked Ladies
-Hilda and Scott-

The hours grow shorter as the days go by.

You never get to stop and open your eyes.

One day you're waiting for the sky to fall.

The next you're dazzled by the beauty of it all.

3. A Lifeless Ordinary - Motion City Soundtrack
-Getting Back To Our Feet-

I didn't think I would make it. Thought everybody was against me,
all those conquered eyes and Christmases alone.
I never gave an honest answer, but I made a lot of angry organs.
Are we copasetic? Are we behaving now?
Filling up on endless insights from other people's ugly insides.
All this bitterness is starting to grow cold.
When comfort is an empty evening hanging on to complications,
sometimes quicksand has a massive appeal to me.

4. Acadia - Marianas Trench
-Memories of Home-

In the house I grew up in, my room in the basement. The hours turning to years we spent.
Remember Chris in the backyard, laughing so damn hard, and no one knew why.
But the rest is forgotten, behind me. Sometimes it reminds me of when we,
we used to belong here.

5. I Want You - Third Eye Blind
-Send Me All Your Vampires-

An open invitation to the dance. Happenstance set the vibe that we are in.
No apology because my urge is genuine, and the mystery of your rhythm is so feminine.
Here I am and I want to take a hit of your scent 'cause it bit so deep into my soul.
I want you.

6. Story of a Lonely Guy - Blink-182
-Speechless-

Push it out, fake a smile. Avert disaster, just in time.
I need a drink, 'cause in a while, worthless answer from friends of mine.
It's dumb to ask, cool to ignore. Girls possess me but they're never mine.
I made my entrance, avoided hazards, checked my engine, I fell behind.

7. No, It Isn't - +44
-Severed Ties- ((Warning :: This song has slight references to self-harming.))

Please understand.
This isn't just "goodbye." This is "I can't stand you."
This is where the road crashed into the ocean.
It rises all around me, and now we're barely breathing.
A thousand faces we'll choose to ignore.

8. We've Got the Rain On Our Side - The Scene Aesthetic
-A Moment's Reprieve-

'Cause the roads that we take can confine us or set us free. Make your path, don't you break.
Just need to get away.
And you've been so tied up with your life. Take a break from it,
or you won't last.
Keep me here up on top of the mountains,
far away from all distress, far away from all distress.
Save me, free me from all these distractions,
violence-filled interactions. Save me but keep me awake.
I'll give you my trust, please don't ever break it.

9. Soul Wars - AWOLNATION
-Pandaemonium-

Taste the smoke - this is no joke. Fifteen years of blood, sweat, and tears and amazement.
'Cause I'm on fire.
It's a cruel, cruel world for good boys and girls. A hot day in heaven, 5, 6, and 7 and amazement.
'Cause I'm on fire.
With no hope from the devil.

10. Vertigo - Marianas Trench
-The Emperor-

This might sting a bit.
You got here just in time to see everything fall apart.
I'm not upset at all.
But it's sad to see that everybody knows
that I've been down in here before, and maybe I could want it more.
I know I never tried to stop.
I never try.

11. There's No Going Back - Sick Puppies
-Moving On-

The future I'm living now is not what I thought it would be.
The person I was before is nothing like me.
The future I'm living now is the way that I want it to be.
The minute I walk through the door, I slam it behind me.
There's no going back. When life's a loaded gun, you pull the trigger.
There's no going back. The past is in the past, thank God it doesn't last forever.

12. Never Forget - Take That
-Footsteps-

We've come so far, and we've reached so high, and we've looked each day and night in the eye.
And we're still so young, and we hope for more. But remember this:
We're not invincible. We're only people. We're not invincible, so again I'll tell you.
Never forget where you've come here from.
Never pretend that it's all real.
Someday soon this will all be someone else's dream.

Balance - Light, Dark, and Colors Between


1. Bulletproof Heart - My Chemical Romance
-Leaving Home-

And though I know how much you hate this, are you gonna be the one to save us
from the black and hopeless feeling? Will you mean it when the end comes reeling?
Hold your heart into this darkness. Will it ever be the light to shine you out, or fail and leave you stranded?
I ain't gonna be the one left standing. You ain't gonna be the one left standing.
We ain't gonna be the ones left standing.
Gravity don't mean too much to me.

2. Movin' Away - My Morning Jacket
-I Won't Forget You-

Don't know quite why, but I was feeling unsatisfied.
I had to get out now, trying to find it.
Possessed by your love, under the influence.
And though there's a new lifeline,
I won't forget the one I left behind.

3. Gold
-Feelings of Friends and Families-

Stand on up and take a bow. There's something there and it's showing.
There's no need to look around; you're the best we've got going.
Shout out to the dreams you'll chase. Shout out to the hearts you'll break.
Nothing's gonna stop you now. I guess you'd better get going.
You'll never be far, I'm keeping you near, inside of my heart, you're here.
Go on, it's gotta be time. You're starting to shine.
'Cause what you've got is gold.

4. Graduate - Third Eye Blind
-Can We Really Do This?-

Echo fading, we can't let go. She goes walking by in slow-mo.
Sell your heart out for a buck. Go on, fade out before I get stuck
talking to somebody like you. Do you live the days you go through?
Will this song live on long after we do?

5. Thank You Very Much - Hey Ocean!
-Diamond in the Rough-

Thank you very much, the pleasure is all mine.
The presence of your innocence is so divine.
Your smile and your style are miles away
from anything I've ever seen, but I'm seeing today.
The way your soul pours through your beautiful eyes,
I can tell you're honest, baby, what a surprise.
'Cause we're living in a world of ******** lies,
false alibis, crooked smiles, and broken ties.

6. Call and Answer - Barenaked Ladies
-My Side, Your Side, The Truth-

I think it's getting to the point where I can be myself again.
It's getting to the point where we have almost made amends.
I think it's the getting to the point that is the hardest part.
And if you call, I will answer. And if you fall, I'll pick you up.
And if you court this disaster, I'll point you home.
I'll point you home.

7. Somebody Out There
-Dreams of the Future-

There's somebody out there who's looking for you.
Someday he'll find you, I swear that it's true.
He's gonna kiss you and you'll feel the world stand still.
There's somebody out there who will.

8. Grace Looks Back - The Scene Aesthetic
-Moment of Doubt-

Can I have your time to tell you about my strengths?
I can help you if you like.
'Cause sometimes we need someone to hold out their hands and lift us back up.
I am here for you, if you want me to.
If you want to believe in me, don't tell me you're leaving. Please don't be leaving me.
'Cause where you are going is not where you need to be.
If you want to put trust in me, don't tell me you're leaving. Please don't be leaving me.
'Cause where you are going is not where you need to be right now.

9. Lost and Rendered (Acoustic Version) - Alkaline Trio
-Doga, Unei, and Xande-

Found out the hard way that you were lost
and rendered all alone in the dark forest of your thoughts.
Forever following a trail of fear that seems to lead
to more dead ends and mysteries I'm losing hope of ever solving.
Can anybody hear me? Is anyone out there?
I'm falling and I'm broken down, I'm dying over here.
If anybody's listening, I hope you hear my cries.
My will to live is wearing thin, and I'm running out of... Time.

10. Demons - Imagine Dragons
-We All Carry Darkness-

I wanna hide the truth, I wanna shelter you, but with the beast inside, there's nowhere we can hide.
No matter what we breed, we still are made of greed. This is my kingdom come.
When you feel my heat, look into my eyes.
It's where my demons hide.
Don't get too close, it's dark inside.
It's where my demons hide.

11. People - AWOLNATION
-We Also Carry Light-

Well I lost my pride with this body of mine
in another land. I began to understand.
I got love for all your hate.
I got lost to find my way.
So be good with goodbyes.
So be good with goodbyes.
People, people, have you heard the good news?
There's people, people, they're running just like you.
Today, I say, it's all that matters for now, for you and I.
So people, people, make some good ol' love.

12. Don't Be That Note I Can't Hold - The Scene Aesthetic
-You'll Always Have A Home Here-

It came to me - the answer one day. Suddenly hit me now I'm
trying hard to fix all of the things that I screwed up while I was gone.
The search is over, you've moved on.
So sorry about all the times I had to, needed to
believe it and see it through my eyes. But don't you worry about it.
'Cause I am here for you as long as you need me to.
