FMA Extra: Roy/Ed fanmix

Yuletide greetings all! I come bearing fanmix. 14 songs that in some way make me think Roy/Ed. Several of these are live or acoustic recordings that were put out by a local radio station. I hope you'll enjoy them!

  1. Meant to Live - Switchfoot
    • Dreaming about Providence
      And whether mice or men have second tries
      Maybe we've been livin with our eyes half open
      Maybe we're bent and broken, broken

    • Roy's theme: wanting to change the world.


  2. Dare You to Move - Switchfoot
    • Welcome to the fallout
      Welcome to resistance
      The tension is here
      The tension is here

      Between who you are
      And who you could be
      Between how it is
      And how it should be yeah

    • Ed's theme - get up and walk.


  3. Uncertainty - The Fray
    • Thousands are lost, maybe more
      the question remains what is this for?
      maybe it came unexpected
      maybe I'm left unprotected
      oh and thats the last place
      yeah thats the last place

      and when we forget our regrets
      and when we remember our dreams
      and when we forget our regrets
      and we regret

    • A theme for them both: doubts, regrets, second thoughts, but they fight on


  4. The Story - Brandi Carlile
    • You see the smile that's on my mouth
      Is hiding the words that don't come out
      And all of my friends who think that I'm blessed
      They don't know my head is a mess
      No, they don't know who I really am
      And they don't know what I've been through but you do
      And I was made for you

    • They've both been through hell. It puts them in a unique position to understand each other, and would be a lot of their foundation.


  5. Ever the Same - Rob Thomas
    • We would stand in the wind
      We were free like water
      Flowing down
      Under the warmth of the sun
      Now it's cold and we're scared
      And we've both been shaken
      Hey, look at us man...
      This doesn't need to be the end!

    • This one should surprise no one. Supporting each other in dark times, always there to prop the other up.


  6. Catalyst - Anna Nalick
    • When you say love is a simple chemical reaction
      Can't say I agree
      'Cause my chemical, yeah, left me a beautiful disaster
      Still love's all I see

    • And never giving up on each other, even when they seem to be sabotaging themselves.


  7. Chariot - Gavin DeGraw
    • Oh chariot, your golden waves
      Are walking down upon this face
      Oh chariot, I'm singing out loud
      To guide me, give me your strength

    • I could take or leave the radio version of this song, but this recording really hits me. It speaks of wistful adoration and looking for support, and really seems to fit the boys.


  8. Never Say Never - The Fray
    • Picture, you're the queen of everything
      As far as the eye can see
      Under your command
      I will be your guardian
      When all is crumbling
      To steady your hand

    • If you ignore the fact that he says "queen" (hee ^_^), this could be Ed, to Roy. Support through uncertainty.


  9. All I Know - Brother
    • All I want is you to see
      How you burn inside me
      All I need is you to know
      That you never leave me

    • Passion and obsession - our main theme.


  10. Collide - Howie Day
    • even the best fall down sometimes
      even the wrong words seem to rhyme
      out of the dark that fills my mind
      we somehow find
      you and I collide

    • Even when things go wrong - and things will inevitably go wrong, with these two - they still come together, sometimes in spite of themselves.


  11. Disease - Matchbox Twenty
    • I got a disease
      Deep inside me
      Makes me feel uneasy baby
      I can't live without you
      Tell me what I am supposed to do about it
      Keep your distance from it
      Don't pay no attention to me
      I got a disease

    • And no matter how much they drive each other crazy, they keep coming back.


  12. In the Rough - Anna Nalick
    • You say you fell while holding diamonds in your hands
      "It's your fault for running, holding diamonds," I said
      And I offer no sympathy for that
      I hear that it was you who died alone
      And I offer no sympathy for that
      Better off I sparkle on my own

    • Another one that should surprise no one. If their relationship does crumble, this is one way I could easily see it going.


  13. Light On - David Cook
    • Never really said too much
      Afraid it wouldn’t be enough
      Just try to keep my spirits up
      When there’s no point in grieving
      Doesn’t matter anyway
      Words could never make me stay
      Words will never take my place
      When you know I’m leaving

    • This seems to be the perfect song for the end of the first series, Ed to Roy.


  14. Raise Your Voice to Mine - Delicious Blue
    • challenge me
      I defy you
      height with height
      hold my sword to you
      pit myself against you
      cry to me
      I mourn with you
      keening to keening
      walk the dark with you
      offer solace to you

    • This, to me, is the crux of their relationship. Head to head and toe to toe, but always there to prop the other one up.
      • Before anyone says "but I've never heard of Delicious Blue," they were a tiny little indie band I heard play at a friend's uni graduation back in '98, where they were selling a CD that had four of their songs on it. I don't think they exist anymore, which is sad, because I thought they were good.

I knew at least some of these would be pretty obscure. I hope you like them!
