Fanmix: Ribbons Undone, Downton Abbey (Lady Sybil Crawley)

[flightjacket]

Title: Ribbons Undone
Author: flightjacket
Pairing: Sybil Crawley/awesomeness
A/N: I'm taking fanmix prompts over at my tumblr, and teawiththetimelord prompted "Sybil Crawley/being awesome," a request which I was happy to fill. That being said, this mix was created in less than a day, and the very first song I put on it was "Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves," so uh, mileage my vary? If you're a fan of women's empowerment music, then we're golden. If you want to give me a prompt, you can do so here.

1. Ribbons Undone → Tori Amos She runs like a fire does Just picking up daises Comes in for a landing A pure flash of lightening Past alice blue blossoms You follow her laughter And then she'll surprise you Arms filled with lavender Yes my little pony is growing up fast She corrects me and says "You mean a thoroughbred" A look in her eyes says the battle's beginning 2. Just A Little Girl → Amy Studt You say I’m just a little girl, just a little girl How can I compare? What do I know? What have I got to share? But there’s nothing in this world, nothing in this world That could hold me down, can’t you hear me? Don’t you understand That I wanna be myself, wanna be the girl, Wanna be the one that you can rely on How I wish that you could see all there is of me How I long to hear that you take me For who I am ‘Cause I’m just a little girl you see But there’s a hell of a lot more to me Don’t ever underestimate what I can do Don’t ever tell me how I’m meant to be 3. Comfort → Deb Talan So cry, why not? We all do Then turn to one you love And smile a smile that lights up all the room Follow your dreams in through every out-door It seems that's what we're here for And when you can't remember a better time You can have mine, little one In days to come when your heart feels undone May you always find an open hand And take comfort, there is comfort Take comfort wherever you can, you can, you can.

4. Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves → Eurythmics & Aretha Franklin Sisters are doin' it for themselves Standin' on their own two feet And ringin' on their own bells Sisters are doin' it for themselves Now this is a song to celebrate The conscious liberation Of the female state! Mothers, daughters, and their Daughters, too Woman to woman We're singin' with you 5. Not A Pretty Girl → Ani DiFranco I have been working all of my life And I am a patriot I have been fighting the good fight And what if there are no damsels in distress What if I knew that and I called your bluff? Don't you think every kitten figures out how to get down Whether or not you ever show up I am not a pretty girl I don't want to be a pretty girl No, I want to be more than a pretty girl 6. Extraordinary Machine → Fiona Apple I seem to you to seek a new disaster every day You deem me due to clean my view and be at peace and lay I mean to prove I mean to move in my own way, and say, I've been getting along for long before you came into the play I am the baby of the family, it happens, so Everybody cares and wears the sheep's clothes While they chaperone Curious, you looking down your nose at me, while you appease Courteous, to try and help, but let me set your Mind at ease If there was a better way to go then it would find me I can't help it, the road just rolls out behind me Be kind to me, or treat me mean I'll make the most of it, I'm an extraordinary machine

THANK YOU SO MUCH. Regarding the cover: when I first saw that parallel, I legitimately cackled in delight. I'm touched you thought to comment on it. Beautiful show practically makes its OWN graphics.
