turquoisetumult | Wesley Fanmix!

My very first fanmix! EEP! I'm not sure why I didn't think of doing this before. And I finally got to do something dedicated to Season 3 - Season 5 Wesley! YAY!

Thank you to Aislynn who requested a fanmix as her Christmas present! (Merry Christmas, Aislynn! I hope you enjoy! ♥

Notes:
=To see the images in their full size, simply click on the graphic.
=Feel free to snag the songs. I've uploaded them singly and in a zip so go for it. Just let me know if you are taking anything.
=Comments on graphics, song choice (please no negatives on this one), presentation, etc. is greatly appreciated.
=Tidbit: Falling Away With You was one of the first songs that I ever really associated with Wesley (and Fred, circa “A Hole in the World”). This song inspired me so much that it forced me to write my first fanfic (a songfic, but still. I like the result). So please so check out that song, if nothing else.
=Rec: There is this wonderful Wesley “On My Own” vid on Youtube that is so brilliant that I had to include the song in here. It is wonderfully edited and perfect for Wesley. Please go check that out as well and the vidder some feedback. :)

Okay, off with ramble, and on with the pretty!


I'm surprised that you've never been told before That you're lovely. And you're perfect And that somebody wants you SEMISONIC - FASCINATING NEW THING	Pour my life into a paper cup The ashtray's full and I'm spillin' my guts RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS - OTHERSIDE

I walk alone; think of home Memories of long ago No one knows I lost my soul long ago THREE DAYS GRACE - ON MY OWN	Love's an excuse to get hurt Do you like to hurt? I do, I do; Then hurt me BRIGHT EYES - A LOVER I DON'T HAVE TO LOVE

They hit you at home and hurt you at school They hate if you're clever and despise a fool Til you're so --- crazy, you can't follow their rules GREEN DAY - WORKING CLASS HERO	Holding close to love, When love should fade Holding on to this is the best thing we'll ever do MOBY - LOVE SHOULD

And I'll feel my world crumbling I'll feel my life crumbling I'll feel my soul crumbling away MUSE - FALLING AWAY WITH YOU	Yeah, it feels like The world is so cold Now that you've gone away OFFSPRING - GONE AWAY

This is all beyond control Murder on our frozen souls Maybe you want more? LEMON - STAY WITH ME	[instrumental] SIGUR ROS - REFUR

Oh cool! Love Wesley! Downloading! This looks great hon!

Wesley is too smexy not to love. :) Thanks for checking it out, KC. ♥

ZOMG! This is AMAZING!!! I'm downloading the mix right now and grabbing all of the gorgeous artwork! *bounces* Thank you so very much! *essplodes from squee!* :D :D :D I'm just so excited to have my very own fanmix like this, with such awesome thought and care put into it!

*majorly squishes you* Thank you again so very much! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS - And can I say how proud I am every time I see Dusty hard at work for you... :P ;)

Aww, you're welcome, Aislynn. I'm just happy that you like it!

I ♥ my little Dusty! He's adorable! :D

*hugs* ♥

Okay, now that I've had the chance to listen to this (a couple of times *coughcough* ;) ), it's even MORE amazing! Awesome, awesome, AWESOME job with the song choices. I can see how each of them relates to Wes and forms little snapshots of him that combine to make one big picture! (That was so much less confusingly phrased in my head, btw... ;) )

Anyway, you hit several songs that I've always loved, "Stay with me" (which is seriously one of my all time favorite songs EVER!), "Otherside" (which I've wanted forever but have never gotten until now \o/ :D ) and "Falling away with you" (Muse = awesome any day of the week ;) ). And you also got a ton of songs from bands/artists I've always loved but whom I hadn't heard these particular songs before (Semisonic, Three Days Grace, Moby, Offspring and Sigur Ros). Which covers pretty much everything, I think, lol! The point being, I really enjoyed every single song on their own merits but even more so as character studies of Wes. So this is just something amazing and fantastic all the way around! :D *glee!*

Thank you again so much for this! I really love it! :D *squee!* *squishes you liek woah* ♥♥♥!!!

Aw, yay! I'm so happy the songs are working out for you!

I can see how each of them relates to Wes and forms little snapshots of him that combine to make one big picture! (That was so much less confusingly phrased in my head, btw... ;) )

Nah, it makes perfect sense! :D

I wasn't sure if I should've included the the ones you only knew such as Stay With Me but it fit too well to leave out. I mean, "fallen beauty queen" -> SERIOUSLY?! :D And, I have to give credit to WES vids I've seen using some of these songs, namely "On My Own" and "Otherside." Wasn't completely original there. ;) But it works.

OMG, isn't the Muse song stunning. Time is Running Out was the first song that got me into Muse, but Falling Away With You made me fall head over heels in love with them. *sniff* What a beautiful song...

The Semisonic song was on the 10 Things I Hate About You OST (*hides in shame* Hehe...), I've always loved that Offspring song, and the rest I knew through SPN/Lost vids. So, yeah, definitely eclectic. :)

Anyway, I'm so happy you enjoy them. *hugs* ♥♥♥

This is beautiful! Artwork and all! I'm definately grabbing. :)
It breaks my heart just to look at the pictures again. *sob* (are you reading the season 6 Angel comics? I can't remember. It's neat to see what's happening to Wes in the story)

I've got my Aunt watching Buffy finally (the one I got hooked on Supernatural) and I told her I can't wait for her to get to season 3 so she can meet Wesley and watch him through the end of Angel because he has the largest morph of any character. :D

Yay! Glad to hear you say you like the artwork! The pics are definitely very heartbreaking to look (especially the death scenes of both Wes and Fred. *sniff*)

I know! Wesley was an incredible character! I couldn't stand him on Btvs (not even for the laughs), but they did amazing stuff with him on Angel. I hope your aunt appreciates his fabulous development.

No, I can never get my hands on any of the comics. What's going on? I know there's some weird stuff with the Buffy comics (she starts an affair with a woman???), and I've heard Angel gets shanshued, but I didn't even know Wes was back from the dead! :D

Thanks for the comment, Crystal. I saw on SVS that you only know the Red Hot Chili Peppers (which is surprising! lol), so I hope you enjoy the rest!!!

The graphics on here are BEAUTIFUL! I love the music too, especially the Offspring song. It's a great song for his loss of Fred.

Aw, thank you, Tracy! I'm glad you like the song selection. And I've always loved Gone Away so I had to include it. ;)

I actually used it as a prologue in a story of mine. Have you ever heard the backstory to the song? SO SAD...

No, I haven't. I'm guessing somebody involved in the band's life died?? :(

Yes. I'm not sure which band member it was, but the mother of his child was killed in a car accident. I don't remember if they were together or not at the time, but it affected him really badly.

Nicely done! There's not enough Wesley out there IMO.

No, there's not! *happy sigh* What a character!

Thanks, Laura. Glad you like. Feel free to snag the songs or artwork. :)

You're too good to me *g*

Ahhhhh COOL!
OMG WES! *sigh* love him so much. this looks fabulous! I don't know why I didn't see this until now but I'm all over this, it's awesome! Wonderful job m'dear :)

LOL. Thanks, Dayl. I'm glad you like it! :D Feel free to snag any songs you think you'd like! :)

(And, I know! Wes = 456,465,831 drools per hour. :D

Wesley Fanmix!
