waywardmixes round 30, 'Magic'. Full-size art, summary, lyrics and listen-online links under the cut.
The Fae are a race of supernatural beings. At first glance, Trick is simply a barkeeper and knowledgeable Fae elder. However, Trick is hiding his true identity as the famous Blood King. As a blood sage, Trick can manipulate reality and change destiny with his blood. Whatever he writes in his blood comes to pass – but this comes with consequences, often terrible ones.
His words in his blood brought an end to the war between the Dark and Light Fae, and established a new era of peace, but at great cost. Many years later, he still carries the burden of the consequences of his blood writings.
This fanmix focuses on Trick’s power to change fate, and his inner dilemmas about when and how to use this power. The temptation to use it to help his friends in strong, but is saving the lives of the ones he loves now worth the potential fallout for his entire race?
1. Editors - Blood
so cover your lies up with another promise
blood runs through your veins
2. Of Monsters and Men - Empire
there's a river running wild that will create
an empire for you
3. Suzanne Vega - Blood Makes Noise
blood makes noise
it's a ringing in my ear
blood makes noise
and I can't really hear you
through the thickening of fear
4. Bjork - Sun In My Mouth
will I complete the mystery of my flesh?
5. Thrice - A Living Dance Upon Dead Minds
who wields a poem huger than the grave?
7. Susan McKeown and Natalie Merchant - Because I Could Not Stop For Death
because I could not stop for death
he kindly stopped for me
the carriage held but just ourselves
and immortality
8. David Ford - What Would You Have Me Do
trust this wretched heart to be so sure
I'd stake my life on this
but I've been wrong before
9. Imagine Dragons - Bleeding Out
if the last thing that I do
is bring you down
I'll bleed out for you
so I bare my skin
and count my sins

Date: 2017-01-16 07:01 pm (UTC)These songs not only fit Trick incredibly well, who is just such a complex and amazing character, but also the feel of the show. Each one of these could have been played in any of the episodes.
My favorites are 'Blood' and 'A Living Dance Upon Dead Minds,' though they're all great and I can't get over how well Editors' 'Blood' and David Ford's 'What Would You Have Me Do' especially fit Trick.
What a wonderful little mix, and the cover art is fantastic too, thank you for creating and sharing :)
Oh, and I thought you should know that the video for 'Because I Could Not Stop For Death' has been deleted. Here's the one I found: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPoVzH20ZeA

Oh thanks for the heads-up, I will edit the playlist :)
