urgencytobleedIt's shocking, I know, but I've actually got this done less than a week after the last mix. Unlike my first girl/boy mix, where I had a bit of trouble filling an entire 80 minutes, with this one, I had too much music to choose from. I've discovered a lot of these types of bands in the last few months and of course there are always the old favorites as well, so I had to figure out a way to work both of those groups in. As painful as it was, I decided to mostly go with new stuff and had to cut out a few of those standbys (Rilo Kiley, Tilly and the Wall, etc.) until I ended up with only four artists that were on the previous mix and I couldn't make myself take out any others from there. I'm pretty happy with the results, though. There are probably about two songs that I would want to replace with something else but it's a bit hard now that I've got them all in a nice order and everything, so it works as is. I don't know if anyone actually downloads and listens to the entire mix in order, but if you do, my favorite transition is from "Midnight Coward" to "Why So Looking Back". It was kind of accidental because I was going to do "Why So Looking Back" after "So Many Ways" but it didn't sound very smooth, so I randomly chose another song to try between the two and it ended up fitting perfectly. Anyway, enough talk, on to the music. There's a lot of bands here that I've never posted about before so I hope you find something new to like!

I don't know but I can guess that you're the only one that I have left. This whole town is laughing and don't I know it.
What a broken string of events, what a little tied-up loose end. Are you mad that they are all dead? Do you wish that you'd gone instead?
With the noise gone, I'm chasing lullabies. Always fading, I watch, and it's no surprise. Time is still and my heart won't hold forever.
Sleeping for years, pick through what is left, through the pieces that fell and rose from the depth, from the rainwater well, deep as a secret nobody knows.
I'm sticking your fingers into sockets to kick-start your little heart and maybe sleep a tiny bit more.
I'm walking down an ocean view and I step step step, look down on you.
There are only so many ways to pardon our divide - let's sew the canyon to the sky.
Maybe it's love, love at first slightly drunk. Now I'm walking with the sun in my mouth.
Why so looking back? Agenda's snore-filled ambitions half-built. All this passive laughter socialing - feelings constant - it's your dream distant.
When you left me for dead for the last time, you put me to bed in the hospital in my head. At least that's what they're saying.
Wasting away, I can't function this way and I know how we will pay for sure.
Ears like colorblind eyes, they hear only the grays, full of wax and left cold to tone and emotion.
I can't escape anything in this town. Such a harsh town yet so easily, it's never been much in front of me.
You only call me when you're drunk. I can tell it by your voice. It's the only time that you open up to me and tell me that you love me.
They'll all draw in without expecting a broken body, the band's finale, and they'll all surround this body going down in this small town.
I think I might say "I love you" now, want you to cover your ears.
You fight for me but I'm hardly worth it.
Some nights she still charms her way out and hopes to leave with a morning of sleep.
It was warm and pleasant and over in an instant. I feel like I dreamt it but I'm not there now. Easier to drive, leave the oven on, burn the house down.
If I'm not mistaken I've murdered you twice before, my dear. If I'm not mistaken I've torn your heart out three times now.
