shut up and let me go
an ottoman empire & ottoman hungary ep

1. "Behind the Mask" - Anarchy Club
for turkey, the ottoman empire
cloak and dagger
cape and mask
smoke and mirrors
guilty past

i am the man behind the mask

2. "Augustine" - Vienna Teng
for hungary, split into three parts
in sand and thorns
i'm walking forth
bare and blinking as the day that i was born

3. "We Might As Well Be Strangers" - Keane
for the first few decades
we're strangers in an empty space

for the fragile peace
how to be sure that what you say is the truth
when i see flaws in every thing that you do

6. "Blindness" - Metric
for becoming a drain on the empire
you gave me a life i never chose
i wanna leave but the world won't let me go

7. "Leaving So Soon" - Keane
for the second siege of vienna
you look down on me
don't you look down on me now
you don't know me at all
a slap in the face
in the face for you now
just might do now

8. "The One That Got Away" - April Smith and the Great Picture Show
for everything after
so don't turn around
because there's nothing left to say
and i'll let you be the one that got away
and you can cut that string
and we can quit these games we play
and i'll let you be the one that got away

IRON MAN PICSPAM

mccarthyism — Sun, 06 Jun 2010 00:57:32 GMT

This is my first picspam ever so be gentle guys. Also I hate motion blur and action scenes that take place at night. Who's brilliant idea was that?

ANYWAY. This focuses on the three different versions of the suits because I am a techgeek and they make me happy and this happiness should obviously be shared. ENJOY.

to me, so fantastic [an america/taiwan fanmix]

「 to me, so fantastic 」
an america/taiwan fanmix

No song focuses on a specific aspect of America and Taiwan's relationship, but know that Taiwan counts America as their biggest ally and America has pledged to go to war with China if China ever invades Taiwan. So there's definitely a relationship there in world politics and anything is possible in Hetalia.
With what we know of Taiwan's personality, they'd be the biggest derps.

「one」 "supersonic" - sophie ellis bextor

i never know the next thing in store
'cause you excite me like a locked door does

「six」 "that don't impress me much" - shania twain
that don't impress me much
you think you're cool but have you got the touch
don't get me wrong, yeah i think you're alright
but that won't keep me warm on the long, cold, lonely night

「seven」 "on melancholy hill" - gorillas

no one can stop us now
'cause we are all made of stars

「nine」 "swoon" - imogen heap

even if i'm halfway 'round the world

if america says it's so [ an america fst ]

if america says it's so
an america-centric fanmix

There is a very long story about this fanmix that involves it existing in some form or another for over a year. Most of that was debating if it was too serious or too negative for America's character and deciding that I should put it off until I found more lighthearted songs or just more songs in general. But I've come to the conclusion that I like the way it turned out, length and all; it's still America, just seen from a different side.

This fanmix is for romanitas who's been telling me to finish this thing for as long as it has existed. It's finally here, comrade. I hope it's worth the wait. ♥

❶ "Rhapsody in Blue" - Leonard Bernstein
instrumental

❷ "Don't Drink the Water" - Dave Matthews Band
And as you go I will spread my wings
Yes I will call this home
I have no time to justify to you
Fool you're blind, move aside for me
All I can say to you my new neighbor
Is you must move on or I will bury you

Now as I rest my feet by this fire
Those hands once warmed here
I have retired them
I can breathe my own air
I can sleep more soundly
Upon these poor souls
I'll build heaven and call it home

❸ "Mister Big Time" - Jon Bon Jovi
I'm getting ready for the big time
Someday I'm going to be in big time news
Ain't going to waste it when I'm big time
I'll be ready for it, bing, bang, boom
I can taste it, I'll be prime time
Someday I'm going to be in big time news
Don't have to take it when you're big time
Someday you'll call me Mr. Big Time too

❹ "Handlebars" - The Flowbots
I can do anything with no assistance
'Cause I can lead a nation with a microphone
With a microphone
With a microphone
And I can split the atom of a molecule
Of a molecule
Of a molecule

Look at me
Look at me
Driving and I won't stop
And it feels so good to be
Alive and on top
My reach is global
My tower secure
My cause is noble
My power is pure
I can hand out a million vaccinations
Or let'em all die in exasperation
Have'em all healed of their lacerations
Have'em all killed by assassination
I can make anybody go to prison
Just because I don't like'em and
I can do anything with no permission
I have it all under my command
Because I can guide a missile by satellite
By satellite
By satellite
And I can hit a target through a telescope
Through a telescope
Through a telescope
And I can end the planet in a holocaust
In a holocaust
In a holocaust
In a holocaust
In a holocaust
In a holocaust

I can ride my bike with no handlebars
No handlebars
No handlebars

❺ "Action" - Sweet
Do you want, do you want
Action, action, action, action
Gonna bring you down
'Cause you've been pushing me
You've got to recognize my superiority

Liar, liar, liar, liar
You know you believed it
Higher, higher, higher, higher
'Cause I'm the main man
And that's why
Everybody wants a piece of the action
Everybody needs a main attraction
I've got what everybody needs
Satisfaction guarantees
That everybody wants a piece of the action

❻ "Because I'm Awesome" - The Dollyrots
I’m a leader, I’m a winner, And I’m cleaner
Cause I’m awesome
I don’t need you cause I’m neato and I beat you
Cause I’m awesome
That’s right

They say I’m gifted, uh huh
Well I’m a certified prodigy
I’m gonna own you, uh huh
I’m gonna bring you to your knees

❼ "The Greatest Man that Ever Lived" - Weezer
I can take on anybody 
I can do my thing 
I don’t want to hurt nobody
 But a bee has got to sting 
I’mma fix it if you mix it up, hoo hoo 
Talk smack and I’m-a-gonna shut you up, hoo hoo

I am the greatest man that ever lived 
I was born to give 
I am the greatest man that ever lived 
Oh radioactive

❽ "Sixteen Military Wives" - The Decemberists
Because America can, and America can't say no
And America does, if America says it's so
It's so!

❾ "Counting Down the Hours" - Pharmacists & Ted Leo
And oh, precautions, yes precautions
But if you're playing with a gun, you could kill someone
And in the dark it's hard to know a friend
But I'm not angry, I won't be forever angry
As I'm walking toward tomorrow with a rifle in my hand
And I'm thinking about New England, and I'm missing Old Japan
And a mountain in California where a spring runs hot and cold
And if I told you I felt ageless, would you tell me I'm not old?

❿ "Don't Stop Me Now" - Queen
Tonight I'm gonna have myself a real good time
I feel alive and the world it's turning inside out Yeah!
I'm floating around in ecstasy
So don't stop me now don't stop me
'Cause I'm having a good time having a good time

I'm a shooting star leaping through the skies
Like a tiger defying the laws of gravity
I'm a racing car passing by like Lady Godiva
I'm gonna go go go
There's no stopping me

I'm burning through the skies
Two hundred degrees
That's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
I'm trav'ling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic man of you

Don't stop me now I'm having such a good time
I'm having a ball don't stop me now
If you wanna have a good time just give me a call
Don't stop me now ('Cause I'm having a good time)
Don't stop me now (Yes I'm having a good time)
I don't want to stop at all

⓫ "Helicopter" - Bloc Party
North to south
Empty
Running on
Bravado
As if to say, as if to say
As if to say, he doesn't like chocolate
He's born a liar, he'll die a liar
Some things will never be different

Stop being so American
There's a time and there's a place
So James Dean
So blue jeans
Gonna save the world
He's gonna

❝meet me in the morning❞
an austria/hungary fanmix

① "Meet Me At My Window" - Jack's Mannequin
austria
Come on, you could change me
You could steal me
You could turn all the lights on
And show me the real me
Then maybe, if I'm lucky
You'll offer me protection
You could even heal me
Just meet me at my window

② "Untouched" - The Veronicas
hungary
Give me give me give me all of you you
Don't be scared
I'll see you through the lonely nights of wanting more more more
Don't even think about what's right or wrong, wrong or right
'Cause in the end it's only you and me and no one else is gonna be around
To answer all the questions left behind
And you and I are meant to be so even if the world falls down today
You've still got me to hold you up up
And I will never let you down

③ "Come on Home" - Franz Ferdinand
hungarian revolutions of 1848
So I'm dissatisfied
I love dissatisfied
I love to feel there's always more that I need

You're where you want to be
I'm where i want to be
Come on we're chasing
Everything we've ever wanted

④ "Glass" - Bat for Lashes
austrian-hungarian compromise of 1867
I'll make a suit of colours
To stop the blinding mirrors
Sew a cape of red and gold
Stifled up the beam
With the perfect armour
With a perfect dream

To be made of glass
When two suns are shining
The battle becomes blinding
To be made of glass
But we ride tonight, tonight, tonight, we ride

⑤ "Antebellum" - Vienna Teng
world war one: before, after, during
In the spring,
We climbed the rolling hills
And talked about our budding plans.
And we smiled,
Our faces like a mirror
Showing us our secret sides.
But then the fights...
The sharp words splintering the night,
How I couldn't be what you'd need...
But oh how I could make you bleed...

I know the border lines we drew between us
Keep the weapons down,
Keep the wounded safe;
I know our antebellum innocence
Was never meant to see the light of our armistice.
But how much would I give to have it back again?
How much did we lose
To live this way?

You'll go home...I'll stay here
Seasons keep on marching
I'll stay here...you'll go home
With only strangers watching

⑥ "The Fear You Won't Fall" - Joshua Radin
interwar period
It hasn't felt like this before
It hasn't felt like home before you
And I know it's easy to say but it's harder to feel
This way
And I miss you more than I should
Than I thought I could
Can't get my mind off of you

⑦ "Redford (For Yia-Yia & Pappou)" - Sufjan Stevens
world war two
instrumental

⑧ "Bend & Break" - Keane
postwar
If only I don't bend, and break
I'll meet you on the other side
I'll meet you in the light
If only I don't suffocate
I'll meet you in the morning, when you wake

Bitter and hardened heart
Aching, waiting for life to start
Meet me in the morning, when you wake up
Meet me in the morning, then you'll wake up

⑨ "The Flowers" - Regina Spektor
communist hungary
The flowers you gave me are rotting and still I refuse to throw them away
Some of the bulbs never opened quite fully
They might so I'm waiting and staying awake
Things I have loved I'm allowed to keep
I'll never know if I go to sleep

⑩ "Roslin & Adama" - Bear McCreary
the cold war
instrumental

⑪ "Soon Love Soon" - Vienna Teng
opening of the border
Soon love soon
There'll be an evolution of the human soul
Soon love soon
We will know that to be a part is to be truly whole
Soon love soon
We will know the pattern of centuries' rise and fall
Soon love soon
We will know that the fate of one is the fate of all

And we will be as one god
And we will be as one people

⑫ "Between Two Lungs" - Florence and the Machine
reunion
Now all the days of begging
The days of theft
No more gasping for a breath
The air has filled me head-to-toe
And I can see the ground far below
I have this breath and I hold it tight
And I keep it in my chest with all my might
I pray to god this breath will last
As it pushes past my lips
As I...
Gasp

⑬ "Fill My Heart" - Two Steps From Hell
and after
instrumental

❝What Have You Done❞
a hetalia fanmix for the revolutionary war

"Science" - The Birthday Massacre
England ⟶ America
Wake you up, pull you out
Talk you up to calm you down
Turn it up and scream and shout
Make you tired, wear you out
Shut you up and turn you up
Clean you up and take you on

"Sky is Falling" - Lifehouse
America ⟶ England
I'm alive but tell me am I free
I've got eyes but tell me can I see
the sky is falling and no one knows
it shouldn't be hard to believe
shouldn't be this difficult to breathe
the sky is falling and no one knows

"Vagabond" - Greenskeepers
England ⟷ America
I came a long way to see you now I wish you were dead,
Such a long way to see you, put the gun to my head.
Wanna shoot you down for the things you said,
Came a long way to see you now I wish you were dead.

I came a long way to see you,
Now I wish you were dead.
Such a long way to see you,
Put the gun to my head.

Got me on the run, loaded up my gun,
Blowing up the spot, hiding cause I'm hot.
Fire is my friend, marking where I've been,
Committing every sin, I'd do it all again.

Be on the lookout for the amber waves of grain, (Heading for your street).
The green lady moved away and changed her name, (Feel my pain).

"Crash" - Ann Beretta
America ⟶ England
So shut
Shut your mouth
Because I'm not listening anyhow
I've had enough of you
Enough to last a lifetime through
So what do you want from me?
I got no words of sympathy for you

"You're Gonna Go Far Kid" - The Offspring
England ⟶ America
Show me how to lie
You're getting better all the time
And turning all against the one
Is an art that’s hard to teach
Another clever word
Sets off an unsuspecting herd
And as you step back into line
A mob jumps to their feet

There's something in your way
And now someone is gonna pay
And if you can't get what you want
Well it's all because of me

"Every Day I Love You Less and Less" - Kaiser Chiefs
England ⟷ America
Everyday I love you less and less
It's clear to see that you've become obsessed
I've got to get this message to the press
That everyday I love you less and less
And everyday I love you less and less
I've got to get this feeling off my chest

"The Frog Prince" - Keane
England ⟷ America
You were our golden child
But the gentle and the mild
Inherit the earth, while

Your prince's crown
Cracks and falls down
Your castle hollow and cold
You've wandered so far
From the person you are
Let go brother, let go

"Satan" - Beast
America ⟶ England
Satan
Your kingdom must come down

"Uprising" - Muse
America ⟶ England
They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious

Interchanging mind control
Come let the revolution take its toll if you could
Flick the switch and open your third eye, you'd see that
We should never be afraid to die
So come on!

"What Have You Done Now" - Within Temptation
England ⟷ America
I know I'd better stop trying
You know that there's no denying
I won't show mercy on you now

I know I should stop believing
I know that there's no retrieving
It's over now
What have you done?

Would you mind if I killed you?
Would you mind if I tried to cause you hell?

Cause you have turned into my worst enemy
You carry hate that I don't feel
It's over now
What have you done?

"Ruska" - Apocalyptica
The End of the War
instrumental

(Bonus Track)
"Too Late to Apologize" - TJ & The Revo
Halfway across the globe 
And we're standing on new ground 
Screaming 'cross the waves
 You can't hear a sound
 There's no fair trials, no trade, no liberties 
No tea
 We've colonized America; we won't stand for tyranny,
 Oh king

And it's too late to apologize 
It's too late 
I said it's too late to apologize
 It's too late

We've paid your foolish tax, read the acts
 And they just won't do
 We want to make it clear, we believe this much is true 
All men were created with certain
Unalienable rights 
Among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit
 Of happiness

『instrumental』

2. ❝Ice Queen❞ - Within Temptation
Belarus → Lithuania

『On cold wings she's coming
You'd better keep moving
For warmth, you'll be longing
Any day
Come on, just feel it?
Don't you see it?
You'd better believe

When she embraces
Your heart turns to stone
She comes at night when you're all alone
And when she whispers
Your blood shall run cold
You'd better hide before she finds you

Whenever she hears raging
She takes a life away
Haven't you seen
Haven't you seen
The ruins of her world』

3. ❝You Don't See Me❞ - Keane

『Such a beautiful view
I guess you've seen it all
But you
You see nothing at all
Such a beautiful view
Shining so bright』

4. ❝I Can't Decide❞ - Scissor Sisters
Belarus → Lithuania

『I can't decide
Whether you should live or die
Oh, you'll probably go to heaven
Please don't hang your head and cry
No wonder why
My heart feels dead inside
It's cold and hard and petrified
Lock the doors and close the blinds
We're going for a ride』

5. ❝Blood (Chocolate Version)❞ - Sparklemotion
Lithuania → Belarus

『You clean up so nice.
A gentle face I couldn't recognize
There's blood in your eyes
I knew that someone had to pay your price
Shelter, a safe place
I couldn't find a way to escape
There's blood on your face
I wish that there could be another way

You kiss and make nice.
A gentle face with a big surprise
There's blood in your eyes
I knew that I was going to pay the price
Shelter, isn't safe
I couldn't find a way to escape
There's blood on your face
You couldn't have it any other way』

6. ❝Every You, Every Me❞ - Placebo
Lithuania ↔ Belarus

『Sucker love is heaven sent.
You pucker up, our passion's spent.
My hearts a tart, your body's rent.
My body's broken, yours is bent.

Carve your name into my arm.
Instead of stressed, I lie here charmed.
Cuz there's nothing else to do,
Every me and every you.

Sucker love, a box I choose.
No other box I choose to use.
Another love I would abuse,
No circumstances could excuse.』

Belarus → Lithuania

『Got the pretty boy beat him up black and blue
Broke the sissy boy's teeny toy heart in two』

8. ❝Crushcrushcrush❞ - Paramore
Lithuania → Belarus

『Nothing compares to a quiet evening alone
Just the one-two of us, who's counting on
That never happens
I guess I'm dreaming again
Let's be more than this

If you want to play it like a game
Well, come on, come on, let's play
Cause I'd rather waste my life pretending
Than have to forget you for one whole minute

They taped over your mouth
Scribbled out the truth with their lies
You little spies
They taped over your mouth
Scribbled out the truth with their lies
You little spies』

9. ❝Broken❞ - Jump, Little Children
Lithuania → Belarus

『Fine with the fall of a nation
Fine with the killing fields
I'm fine with the ration of power
And praise to the undeserved

With the dark and gentle kiss
From the mouth of blinding bliss
I've made my peace with all of this

But I'm broken, yes I'm broken by you
By the bend and sway of you
Yes I'm broken, yes I'm broken by you
By the give and the take of you』

10. ❝Hope❞ - Apocalyptica
