Team Petunias!

[harpers_child]

i have finished cyberpunk and stargate! would anyone like to do a beta listen to make sure i don't have any odd transitions, there's a narrative, etc? they'd go out thursday as tomorrow i have a full day of swimming, barbecue, and drinking.

inception- i keep second guessing all my song choices. there's like four songs that end up on every version and the rest is a crapshoot.

RED- why are there so many father/daughter and father/son songs but no mother/son songs?!? if you know of any please tell me.

zombies- any time a freaking plot would like to show up that'd be great. seriously, zombies, if i find another bunny you are out the door.

I can try to give them a listen tomorrow, if I can, though after that I'm AFK until Monday.

Mother/son songs . . . dang, that's a tough one. Any particular emotional dynamic you're looking for?

Re: Team Petunias!

[harpers_child]

i literally have one mother/son song and it's by hole. so something that doesn't sound exactly like hole would be nice, but at this point i'm looking for anything.

um ... vikki and jensen like each other so emotionally i'm looking for something not negative about the other person. the song could be from either direction. (son about mom or mom about son.)

I tried googling because I was stumped too, and apparently the mommy community is really into Savage Garden's "I Knew I Loved You" as a song about one's unborn child. Which, um... Other than that there's apparently some really touching stuff by Barbra Streisand and Celine Dion! \o/

I guess what I'm trying to say is, you're screwed good luck. Maybe if you cast your net wider and include songs about parental love or watching someone grow up in general?

As for the other way round, there are several songs by male artists about their mothers. Kanye West and Jay-Z come to mind, but there are definitely more.

(I'm assuming Jensen doesn't die in this one, otherwise "Grendel's Mother" by the Mountain Goats would have been kind of apropos. <.<)

Re: Team Petunias!

[harpers_child]

nope. figured out vikki's the one in danger. everyone gets out and they whomp the bad guys good.

on the song front i remembered "simple man" by lynyrd skynyrd. i'm hoping i can find a good cover. this is reminding me of the time i made a buffy-verse angel/dru/spike mix that was held together by a cover of "sweet child o' mine." (it was an awesome cover featuring an acoustic guitar, a piano, and a female vocalist. totally changed the song.)

So I tried looking for some mother/son songs, but I'm as stumped as you are right now.

But congrats on finishing two of your fanmixes! You're ahead of the mark!
