Fanmix: Give Yourself Away, BBC Merlin (Arthur)

[flightjacket]

Title: Give Yourself Away
Author: flightjacket
Pairing: Arthur/character growth
A/N: Thinking about where Arthur's character has come from, and how far yet he still needs to go. I was in an epic instrumentation kind of a mood when I put this together, so expect a lot of that. I thought it fit the theme well?

1. Golden Boy → Natalie Merchant Top of the fold, toast of the town Everyone stops when you come around They hold their breath for you ... Beauty untamed, stupid and wild Poster boy, you're society's child Cut your teeth Cut your mouth Cut it out 2. The Frog Prince → Keane 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 3. Helplessness Blues → Fleet Foxes I was raised up believing I was somehow unique Like a snowflake distinct among snowflakes, unique in each way you can see And now after some thinking, I'd say I'd rather be A functioning cog in some great machinery serving something beyond me But I don't, I don't know what that will be I'll get back to you someday soon, you will see

4. White Shadows → Coldplay We're part of the human race and All of the stars and the outer space We're part of the system plan All this noise, I'm waking up And all the space, I'm taking up I said I cannot hear you, you're breaking up Maybe you get what you wanted Maybe you stumbled upon it Everything you ever wanted In a permanent state 5. Don't Say No → Patrick Wolf Just throw yourself in Just give yourself in To the pattern A thousand miles above our heads They are bleeding Mighty currents upon the day If youre brave enough, you'll just let it happen If youre brave enough, you'll give yourself away 6. In The Countenance of Kings → Sufjan Stevens instrumental

I've had this open in a tab since yesterday but I got dragged off to writing club and for some reason there is no internet at Krazy Moose Subs (yeah, idk either) and THEN they whisked me away to the inn to watch STARSHIP (yes. That starship. Starship rangers. Where I called dibs so hard on the guy who plays Tootsie Noodles/Giant Space Scorpion that I may have actually pulled a muscle. don't care.) and the first part of Me & My Dick on a screen that is literally 8 FEET WIDE, so I have awesome excuses. y/y/y?

And now. Music. \O/

That sounds like a beautiful, beautiful day. And you WOULD pick Dylan. He is by far one of the more talented singers in Starkid, and definitely the best singer in Starship. Does this mean you still haven't seen the Harry Potter musicals, though? Dylan plays Dumbledore, remember! Go watch him coo over the Sorting Hat and the Scarf of Sexual Preference's budding romance!

Hope you enjoy the mix, but I feel like I'm after an act that's tough to follow. :D

This is such a beautiful cover and mix, it surpasses lovely and lands softly in the land of exquisite. I love the subject matter, too; I hear so many people say "I would like Arthur, but he's a prat," and I say "yes, but it's the journey. He's getting there." And to me, while it's painful sometimes to see how he treats Merlin especially, he's got a good heart and he's learning.

Thank you so much for the lovely comment! Merlin frustrates me continually, but as this mix indicates, I can't help but hold out hope for Arthur, especially as he's set to take on more responsibility this season.
