inthewildwood | Fanmix: between the shore and the sea (The Drowning Girl)

01. Opheliac - Emilie Autumn

I'm your Opheliac
I've been so disillusioned
I know you'd take me back
But still I feigned confusion
I couldn't be your friend
My world was too unstable
You might have seen the end
But you were never able
To keep me breathing

02. How Much Salt - Seanan McGuire

"Sea-king's daughter, fair and pale, oh my darling daughter.
You know how they tell this tale, oh my darling daughter.
Let the storm winds weep and wail, sea-king's daughter, fair and pale,
For you must try, and you must fail, oh my darling daughter."

03. We Both Go Down Together - The Decemberists

Meet me on my vast veranda
My sweet, untouched Miranda
And while the seagulls are crying
We fall, but our souls are flying

04. What The Water Gave Me - Florence and the Machine

‘Cause she’s a cruel mistress
And a bargain must be made
But oh, my love, don’t forget me
When I let the water take me

05. Witch of Pittenweem - Emily Barker & The Red Clay Halo

Cruel Lord
She has stalked me in a dream
You abandoned me
The Witch of Pittenweem
Left me to hang between
The shore and the sea

06. Maid on the Shore - Solas

There was a fair maid and she lived all alone
She lived all alone on the shore
No one could she find for to calm her sweet mind
But to wander alone on the shore, shore, shore
To wander alond on the shore

07. Colleen - Joanna Newsom

Then dive down there with the lights to lead
That seem to shine from everything —
Down to the bottom of the deep blue sea;
Down where your heart beats so slow,
And you never in your life have felt so free.
Will you come down there with me?
Down where our bodies start to seem like
Artifacts of some strange dream,
Which afterwards you can't decipher,
And so soon, have forgotten
Everything.

08. The Poet and the Muse - Poets of the Fall

In the dead of night she came to him
With darkness in her eyes
Wearing a mourning gown
Sweet words as her disguise

He took her in without a word
For he saw his grave mistake
And vowed them both to silence
Deep beneath the lake

09. Visions of Johanna - Bob Dylan

And Madonna, she still has not showed
We see this empty cage now corrode
Where her cape of the stage once had flowed
The fiddler, he now steps to the road
He writes ev'rything's been returned which was owed
On the back of the fish truck that loads
While my conscience explodes
The harmonicas play the skeleton keys of the rain
And these visions of Johanna are now all that remain.

10. Down By The Water - The Decemberists

Sweet descend this rabble round
The pretty little patter of a seaport town
Rolling in the water and
Rolling down the old main drag

All dolled up in gabardine
The lash-flashing Leda Of Pier Nineteen
Queen of the water and
Queen of the old main drag
