Some Dance to Forget - Cassandra of Troy

[odette_river]

o1. Go to Hell, Milk Inc (lyrics)
Take One Last, Good Look At Me/Cause It's The Last, You'll Ever See/It's To Late To Say You're Sorry - You're Sorry/It's Too Late/To Say That Time Will Tell/Go To Hell, Bye Bye/Go To Hell/It's To Late To Cry/Go To Hell, Bye Bye
Cassandra tells Apollo off.

o2. Free Falling, Tom Petty (lyrics)
And Im a bad boy cause I dont even miss her/Im a bad boy for breakin her heart
Apollo's point of view--he's hurt Cassandra deeply, and doesn't particularly care, or at least doesn't show it.

o3. I Don't Believe You, The Magnetic Fields (lyrics)
But let's agree to disagree/Cause I don't believe you/I don't believe you
Included simply because it involves someone saying "I don't believe you" frequently. No one believes Cassandra. At all.

o4. Hotel California, The Eagles (lyrics)
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends/How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat./Some dance to remember, some dance to forget
Cassandra can see the future now, and all she really wants to do is forget about it. Except that she can't, which has just made her life very twisted.

o5. I Dreamed a Dream, Linda Eder (lyrics)
He slept a summer by my side/He filled my dreams with endless wonder/He took my childhood in his stride/But he was gone when autumn came
More on Cassandra, and how much Apollo has messed up her life.

o6. White Rabbit, Jefferson Airplane (lyrics)
Go ask Alice/I think she'll know/When logic and proportion/Have fallen sloppy dead/And the White Knight is talking backwards
A generally weird song about how Cassandra's life has generally become weird.

o7. She's Come Undone, The Guess Who (lyrics)
She's come undone/She wanted truth but all she got was lies/Came the time to realize/And it was too late/She's come undone/She didn't know what she was headed for/And when I found what she was headed for/Mama, it was too late/It's too late/She's gone too far/She's lost herself
Helenus on his twin sister. He cares about her, but he thinks that she's lost it, too, and feels somewhat responsible.

o8. Gollum's Song, Emiliana Torrini (lyrics)
These tears we cry/Are falling rain/For all the lies you told us/The hurt, the blame!/And we will weep to be so alone/We are lost/We can never go home/So in the end/I'll be what I will be/No loyal friend/Was ever there for me
Cassandra feels generally betrayed by everyone who knows her and very, very alone.

o9. Hallelujah, Imogen Heap (lyrics)
Baby I've been here before/I've seen this room and I've walked this floor/I used to live alone before I knew you/I´ve seen your flag on the marble arch/but love is not some victory march/It´s a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
Cassandra, still screwed up by Apollo.

1o. Landslide, Fleetwood Mac (lyrics)
Well, Ive been afraid of changing/cause Ive built my life around you/But time makes you bolder/Children get older/Im getting older too
Cassandra starts finding her place in life, and learning to live with absolutely no one believe the truth.

11. Learn to be Lonely, Andrew Lloyd Webber (lyrics)
You've always known/Your heart was on its own/So laugh in your loneliness/Child of the wilderness/Learn to be lonely/Learn how to love life that is lived alone/Learn to be lonely/life can be lived/life can be loved/Alone
Again with Cassandra still feeling angsty, but learning to be content.

12. Hold Your Head Up, Argent (lyrics)
And if they stare/Just let them burn their eyes on you moving/And if they shout/Don't let them change a thing what you're doing/Hold your head up, hold your head up/Hold your head up, hold your head high
Cassandra has stopped caring what people think about her and her craziness.

13. Drops of Jupiter, Train (lyrics)
Now that shes back in the atmosphere/With drops of jupiter in her hair, hey, hey/She acts like summer and walks like rain/Reminds me that theres time to change, hey, hey/Since the return from her stay on the moon/She listens like spring and she talks like june, hey, hey
Helenus's point of view. He recognizes the change in Cassandra and is awed by it, though he does not understand.

14. The Last Unicorn, America (lyrics)
When the first breath of winter through the flowers is icing/And you look to the north and a pale moon is rising/And it seems like all is dying and would leave the world to mourn/In the distance hear the laughter of the last unicorn/I'm alive, I'm alive
Cassandra is a fragile, beautiful creature who, despite appearances, is strong and can survive.

15. Cassandra, ABBA (lyrics)
Sorry Cassandra I misunderstood/Now the last day is dawning/Some of us wanted but none of us would/Listen to words of warning/But on the darkest of nights/Nobody knew how to fight/And we were caught in our sleep/Sorry Cassandra I didn't believe/You really had the power/I only saw it as dreams you would weave/Until the final hour
Cassandra.

I have been obsessed with Cassandra since I first read the Illiad at 14. I always thought she didn't get enough recognition. But this mix is beautiful and pays her the respect she needs. Beautiful

She's a really interesting person, and I think she has a lot of depth. I'm glad you like it!

This is awesome! There are some songs I know, some songs I don't, and that the focus is Cassandra? Wonderful!
