[riverdresses]

To say that I have no idea of what to preface this mix with would be an understatement. One can interpret this mix & what lies beyond the cut any way they like - fact, fiction, or a combination of both.

(if it's honesty you want, even an unbelievable-but-believable-from-this-strange-girl sort of honesty, well, then, I will give you some. This isn't entirely a story. But it's for you to pick the fact from fiction like carrion from decaying birds. Good luck.)

sonic of the moon flips you inside out





spa- ce de - men - tia (spās di-men-shuh, -shee-uh)
n.

1. A form of madness discovered in the year 2040 to plague astronauts, space station personnel and occasionally travellers while spending extended time in outer space. Manifestations include auditory, as well as visual hallucinations and eventually, all encompassing madness. There is no known cure for it at the time of this writing.

2. A lifelong, inexplicable obsession or preoccupation with outer space and matter related to it, no matter how fantastic, complex or insignificant. This can manifest itself in a variety of outlets, most notably, in the artistic and scientific mediums. There is no known cure for this form of earthbound space dementia as of this writing.

inspired by: spadul & her fucking amazing mixtapes, most notably, this one. takethewords & her jaw-dropping mastery over photoshop, no matter how small a creation she makes. listening to too many eighth doctor & charley pollard audios. the doctor & his tardis. time & space. spacefae.

for: softlyy, velvet_midnight & soundthedrums.

iii. pendulum - another planet [♫]

there were hard times ahead for the people of planet pendulum / staring into the networks of space and time / their eyes were open / but still / they were blind

iv. her space holiday - gravity fails us [♫]

vii. OLIVIA inspi' REIRA - A Little Pain [♫]

viii. pink floyd - Comfortably Numb [♫]

when I was a child / I caught a fleeting glimpse / out of the corner of my eye / I turned to look but it was gone / I cannot put my finger on it now / the child is grown / the dream is gone

(instrumental)

x. tori amos - black-dove(january) [♫]

she was a january girl / she never let on how insane it was / in that tiny kinda scary house by the woods / by the woods / by the woods / black-dove black-dove / you don't need a / spaceship / they don't know you've already lived / on the other side of the galaxy

Comment if you're snagging, bbs. Please. ♥

& notes

this was almost a mix created about music that would remind people of travelling in the TARDIS. Then I thought about making a mix for the old girl herself, but I wound up discarding it, as I know so little of her history. So it became this.

& in a strange way, if you look at it from a fannish perspective, it could almost read as a Nine/Rose mix. But it isn't, nor did I set out to make it like that.

Also, I am sorry for the lack of zip - none of the connections I have access to would let me fully upload one.

I like the suggested music.
