make sure i breathe || a mary magdalene fanmix

[odette_river]

This mix is loosely related to a few of the requests at fst and directly related to my desire to find any procrastination technique possible. I didn't mean for it to come out Mary/Jesus shippy, but it definitely did, even if most of that is unrequited love. But if that bothers you, consider this your warning.

The mix is divided roughly into two parts - songs explicitly about Mary Magdalene, and then songs that are not so explicitly about her.

By the way, I'm Christian.

1. The Ballad of Mary Magdalen, Richard Shindell My name is Mary Magdalen I come from Palestine Please excuse these rags I’m in But I’ve fallen on hard times But long ago I had my work When I was in my prime But I gave it up, and all for love 2. Mary (B-Side), Tori Amos Growing up isn't always fun They tore your dress and stole your ribbons They see you cry, they lick their lips But butterflies don't belong in nets 3. Maria Magdalena, Sandra You take my love You want my soul I would be crazy to share your life Why can't you see what I am Sharpen the senses and turn the knife Hurt me and you'll understand 4. Asilos Magdalena, The Mars Volta En mi vida, el oscuro me mantiene cuando yo te vi en la lluvia me prometistes tu sangre 5. Marys of the Sea, Tori Amos Les Saint Marie de la Mer You will dance the ring Marys of the Sea The lost bride weeps Les Saint Marie de la Mer We will dance your ring 6. Mary's Prayer, Danny Wilson So when you find somebody to keep Think of me and celebrate I made such a big mistake, when I was Mary's prayer 7. My Skin, Natalie Merchant I've been treated so wrong, I've been treated so long as if I'm becoming untouchable I'm a slow dying flower I’m the frost killing hour Sweet turning sour and untouchable 8. This Girl Is Taking Bets, Thea Gilmore This girl is the flutter of fake lashes in the mirror She's a ragged edged fedora or a Spanish souvenir This girl is the clean cut, she's the frozen ground She's a knife drawn down the side street when there's no-one else around 9. I Bruise Easily, Natasha Bedingfield I bruise easily, so be gentle when you handle me There's a mark you leave, like a love heart carved on a tree I bruise easily, can't scratch the surface without moving me Underneath I bruise easily, I bruise easily 10. I Don't Know How to Love Him, Yvonne Elliman Yet, if he said he loved me, I'd be lost. I'd be frightened. I couldn't cope, just couldn't cope. I'd turn my head. I'd back away. I wouldn't want to know. He scares me so. I want him so. I love him so. 11. Catch-22, katesmeow 'N I'll gaze into forever It's better than keeping time 'N in his eyes i see a silhouette of regret 'N my anxiousness is nothing new Oh, at least, not to you 12. Leave the Pieces, The Wreckers You're not sure that you love me But you're not sure enough to let me go Baby it ain't fair you know To just keep me hangin' 'round 13. Sorry, Maria Mena And I say baby, yes I feel stupid to call you, but I'm lonely And I don't think you meant it when you said you couldn't love me And I thought maybe if I kissed the way you do, you'd feel it too 14. Proof, Rachael Sage And I know the reason why You keep coming back for proof 'Cause you're sharp as a steeple Strong enough to scratch hell And your soul is as fragile As a fallen angel 15. Broken, Elisa Just pieces of truth that I chose to keep and No matter if now they are gone No matter if I am alone Still I can get back on my feet and walk on As I know there was something to learn I know there will always be more worth moving on for download @ mediafire

Oh my God, a Mary Magdalene fanmix! I'm definitely taking this - I seriously have a playlist on my ipod for songs about her, so this is something I need to download. Thank you!

This looks amazing: I love your cover art! I haven't heard much of this music, but I do love what I have ("My Skin" is one of my most played songs in my Itunes). Hence, I'm snagging. Thank you!

[nikki74.livejournal.com]

That is one incredible mix made of an incredible subject!
And I just love your use of Tori Amos in this ;)

[philstar22.livejournal.com]

This looks like fun. Thanks so much! I am definitely intrigued by your song choices. Some new goodies to try.

[streussal.livejournal.com]

Neat! Downloading.

[pellnell.livejournal.com]

This looks amazing. I love the subject you chose for the mix, and I can definitely see her in your song choices.

Phenomenal.

What a neat collection of songs. Snagged. Thankyou!

[coffee-mill.livejournal.com]

It looks interesting ^^. Downloading ^^.

[cherith.livejournal.com]

Looks awesome! Maria Mena & Thea Gilmore sucked me in. :)

[pegasus2o5.livejournal.com]

Not downloading b/c I have no computer memory but I just wanted to cheer for your awesome idea. Is it weird that I ship religious figures? I've never understood why the idea of Jesus marrying would be such a threat to some people's faith... but this isn't a debate board, I just wanted to say GO YOU!

[lumiscente.livejournal.com]

This is a beautiful mix and a wonderful topic. Absolutely creative. I'm in love with the subject matter. Thanks so much for sharing this lovely music with me.I really needed something like this to listen to.

I do think that Jesus and Mary Magdalene were more than just good buds. There are a lot of people who agree and support the idea. He was fully god and fully man, yes? Therefore to be fully man it would have been socially reasonable for him to take a wife- as well as emotionally expected for him to fall in love. -_^

Kudos to you for such innovative thinking.

[pack1ife.livejournal.com]

This is beautiful and original.

[dancinpenguins]

I like this! :D

Downloading, how pretty.

[liesofdesire.livejournal.com]

This is a really unique idea. I'm downloading it!

[alaskanmermaid.livejournal.com]

this is unusual - and I am very, very curious. I think Mary's relationship to Jesus is seriously underplayed. Thanks!

[slytherindoll.livejournal.com]

What a very unique subject, original idea.

Inspiring!

[divalucia.livejournal.com]

Oh, this looks way interesting! Downloading now, thank you so much for sharing. :)

[kejsarinna.livejournal.com]

what an amazing idea! will dl once i get home!

[margaretmoony.livejournal.com]

This looks awesome so I'm downloading!

[cyborgias.livejournal.com]

This looks amazing, such a wonderful concept. Definitely taking.

[akuma-divine.livejournal.com]

Wow... I mean, WOW! I never would have imagined that someone would appreciate the woman so much as to make a mix for her.

She's one of my favorite religious figures, and I'm not anywhere on the Judeo-Christian spectrum. Thank you for making this mix, blessed be =)

[kitewithfish.livejournal.com]

This, madam, is a truly cool idea. *downloads*

[talkstosheep.livejournal.com]

um, hiya. are you aware that you're made of win? if not, i'm here to remind you. YOU ARE MADE OF WIN! thank you!

Begging!

So, I downloaded this a while back and loved it, but lost the link and forgot to reply and say so. I FAIL. Then I lost my hard drive. I FAIL TWICE. And now the link is dead! I am sending you this comment to:

1) Let you know that I loved the mix and and utterly dejected that I lost it, and;

2) Ask if there is any way you could perhaps upload it again? If not, cool, I more than understand. But. I love it. And so I ask.

Either way--thanks for an awesome mix, and I'm sorry I failed at letting you know how cool it was back then!

[odette-river.livejournal.com]

No problem! I tend to lock my mixes after a while to cut down on the anonymous downloads, but they're still there, and the link should work now. :)

[clarus.livejournal.com]

Ahhh! Thank you so much! <3 <3
