The love you've loved and the truth you've told

Project: Write the story that accompanies this soundtrack.

1) "Come Home," Kris Delmhorst (You left here on your dirty feet but you're gonna come home on the train)
2) "Doubletree," Jeffrey Foucault (That morning came up shining clear and sharp as broken glass)
3) "Maybe Sparrow," Neko Case (Notes are hung so effortless with the rise and fall of sparrow's breast)
4) "Muddy Meadow," Calexico (Instrumental, 0:54)
5) "End of Amnesia," M. Ward (Instrumental, 2:12)
6) "Iowa (Traveling III)," Dar Williams (But for you I came this far across the tracks, ten miles above the limit and with no seatbelt)
7) "Cinder and Smoke," Iron & Wine (Give me your hand and take what you will tonight)
8) "The Song They Were Singing When Rome Fell," Anais Mitchell (No evening news, just our bodies and a record playing Delta blues)
9) "The Pharaohs," Neko Case (You kept me wanting wanting wanting like the wanting in the movies and the hymns)
10) "John the Revelator," Son House (Mary, Margaret, they were there and heard every word he said)
11) "Homeward These Shoes," Iron & Wine (Homeward with heaven above me, old road behind me, a door up ahead)

OMG! You totally need to upload these.

God, don't even get me started on writing soundtracks, we could be here for a very, very long time...

I'll see what I can do! Man, it was just -- it was after midnight last night and I was listening to one song and then I just knew that the next had to come after it, and then the playlist just sort of happened and I was staring at it and knew it was trying to tell me something, you know? Patterns you're not even consciously thinking about, but you pick on them and they fall together. Sometime I'll have to write about how improv comedy is teaching me a ton about writing.

I think that's what a novel is made of when it's all said and done.

I had absolutely no idea that I had recurring themes, that I had an atmosphere of vintage mash-up or that I was creating my own little genre and I'm no where near as... I don't even have a word for your ideas. I have no where near as much scope and structure as you've managed to give yourself. I have no where near as much rampant imagination as you do.

Your world is thrilling to watch evolve and I want so much more.

UHM. YES! DUR.

Oh goodness, thank you! This universe has literally been in the works since 2005, so really, I'm kind of cheating. But I'm with you — I hope it comes quickly! (And that goes for both of us, missy. <3)

*ponders* Upload me these songs and I will see what I can do. I have muse bug just looking at the lines, but I need the music itself to do it proper-like.

I like your plan to make it a meme, actually -- I'd rather see your story with your music. (This was more of a note to self kind of thing.)

Hee. Yeah, I was just looking for any of those songs that I had, and I have the Depeche Mode version of "John the Revelator" and it was sort of "Oh, this belongs in something!" and then a playlist emerged.

I will totally try to figure out the story that goes with my songs. And probably the story that goes with yours, too. XD

I'm really amused by the one I've found in mine. Not so much on a topical level, but on a biographical level, sure. (...Sometimes I get the feeling that half the comments I write in this journal are going to end with me apologizing for trying to break myself of smileys.)

Breaking yourself of smilies is a worthy cause. I'm just too attached. >.> Plus, y'know, my chat wouldn't be the same sans-smilies, considering the smiley wars we have sometimes...

The problem with mine is pinning down who the bloody story's about, because I think there's more than a couple character-specific songs in addition to general and mood songs, and it makes for difficulties figuring everything out.

Damn playlist, trying to build a whole new world in my head when I can hardly hold on to the ones I've got. :P
