Not Nice - A Mix for Mr. Rochester

[blancwene.livejournal.com]

Explanation:
"Mr. Rochester ... is ill-educated, misguided; errs, when he does err, through rashness and inexperience: he lives for a time as too many other men live, but being radically better than most men, he does not like that degraded life, and is never happy in it. He is taught the severe lessons of experience and has sense to learn wisdom from them. Years improve him ... His nature is like wine of a good vintage, time cannot sour, but only mellows him."

--Charlotte Bronte, on Mr. Rochester



Not Nice - A Mix for Mr. Rochester

01. Royal City - Bad Luck
Bad luck has lingered
And now comes forth
With a gluttonous mind

02. Nina Simone - I Put a Spell on You
I put a spell on you
Because you're mine

03. Sufjan Stevens - A Good Man is Hard to Find
She was once like me

04. Kristin Hersh - Trouble
Oh trouble can't you see
You have made me a wreck
Now won't you leave me in my misery

05. The Innocence Mission - Tomorrow on the Runway
Did you leave the darkness without me?
You're always miles ahead.

06. Chris Garneau - Not Nice
Sometimes you're nice,
but when you're not nice, you're not nice, you're not nice.
I'd rather leave you alone.

07. The Who - Love Reign O'er Me
Love, reign o'er me, rain on me.

08. Chopin - Finale Presto IV (Sonata in c-minor, op. 4 no. 1)
(Like the first movement, this movement hearkens back to the style of Beethoven, but with a much livelier tempo. Its only serious criticism is its great length, with much repetition - though with variation.)

09. Jens Lekman - You Are the Light
Yeah, I got busted

10. Katie Moore - Getting Older
It's not easy getting older
I don't recognize these faces
The streets have all switched places
The world's just one big stranger

11. Jennifer O'Connor - Tonight We Ride
Tonight's the night, and we know
This is not happenstance, this is an overthrow.
The kingdom failed.

12. Stars - Look Up
You're cold, maybe you just miss the sun
You fall, feeling like it's just begun
So far, keeping it together's been enough
But look up, the rain is falling, looks like love

13. Iron & Wine - Faded from the Winter
Daddy's ghost behind you
Sleeping dog beside you
You're a poem of mystery
You're the prayer inside me

Im more into Wuthering Heights than Jane Eyre myself but still this is wonderful :)

Ooh! I loved Ugly Love, so I can't wait to listen to this one. ♥

Oh! Jens Lekman! <3

It sounds so obvious, so obvious
Why would anyone need a map or a compass?
It's so beautiful
To be guided by you
'Cause you are the light

Sorry, couldn't help myself! :) These are such happy days for Jens-fans... :) I never thought about it, but that song probably describes very well the way Rochester sees Jane.

Interesting mix! I really liked quote 11 as well... And LOVED the cover. Truly great.

I must fall down and kiss your feet because you have introduced me to Jens Lekman. How did I miss him on 3hive? Awesome, awesome, awesome song.

The rest of the mix was cool too (Getting Older and Look Up, 'specially).

Obviously snagged.
