Songs in the Key of “Chaos”

A soundtrack inspired by earlgraytea68’s Chaosverse Fiction Collection

1. "Oh My Stars" – Andrew Belle (inspired by ‘If You Were a Tree, What Kind of Tree Would You Be?’, ‘The Day After You Kiss Rose Tyler’, and ‘The Natural Progression of Things’)

    "Have a seat upon this branch of mine

     It’s been a while honey, won’t you take your time

    Cause I’ve seen the question mark atop your spine

    Got a ladder honey, won’t you let me climb?

 

   Tell me all about your foreign wars

   And all about the photographs that line your drawers

 Cause I know a lot about closing doors

 But not enough about opens up yours

   

     Oh my my

     Oh my stars

     Everything you see is ours

     All it could be

    If you would try

   I wish you would

   I wish you might

   If everything you said to me’s been true

 Then all my stars are leading me to you"

 

2. "Something Good This Way Comes" – Jakob Dylan (inspired by ‘Things Continue to Progress’)

    "Got my window open wide

     Got my window open wide

     Got a good woman by my side

     Got a good woman by my side

 

     Now this kind of day has no night

     And I ain't got much on my mind

    'Cause I know

   Something good this way comes"

All the following inspired by selected chapters of ‘Chaos Theory in Vortex Orbits in Relative Dimensions in Time and Space’

3. "New Soul" -- Yael Naïm

   “I'm a new soul I came to this strange world hoping

   I could learn a bit about how to give and take.

 But since I came here felt the joy and the fear

 finding myself making every possible mistake”

4. "Upside Down" – Jack Johnson

   "Who's to say

   What's impossible

   Well they forgot

 This world keeps spinning

 And with each new day

 I can feel a change in everything

 And as the surface breaks reflections fade

 But in some ways they remain the same

 And as my mind begins to spread its wings

 There's no stopping curiosity

 

 I want to turn the whole thing upside down

 I'll find the things they say just can't be found

 I'll share this love I find with everyone

 We'll sing and dance to Mother Nature's songs

 I don't want this feeling to go away”

5. "Beautiful Life" -- Fisher

  "Hey child up and go

   Big world is out there waiting for us to

   Live in every day

 

 Outside you will find

 There is love all around you

 Takes you, makes you wanna say

 

 That it's a beautiful life

 And it's a beautiful world

 And it's a beautiful time

 To be here"

6. "Fireflies" -- Owl City

   "I'd like to make myself believe
    that planet Earth turns slowly
    Its hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
    'Cause everything is never as it seems" 

7. "Picture Book" -- The Kinks

    "Picture book,

     Pictures of your mama

    Taken by your papa a long time ago.

    Picture book,

   Of people with each other

 To prove they love each other a long ago.

 

 A picture of you in your birthday suit,

 You sat in the sun on a hot afternoon

 Picture book

 Your mama and your papa

 And fat old Uncle Charlie [insert ‘Uncle Jack’] out boozing with their friends.

8. "To Kingdom Come" -- Passion Pit

     "Come, come

     I hear it calling me, yelling,

     Like if ever there was someone who could make things heavy again.

     Feel alive

    Me, I cried out ‘God’

  You dared me in the dark

  I felt a hush fall quietly from my spark

  so now I hide in piles of princely orange peels

  It feels the way you told me how it'd always feel" 

9. "Ooh Child” (Alternate Version) -- Beth Orton

     " Ooh-oo child, things are gonna get easier

      Ooh-oo child thing will be brighter

      Some day

      We'll put it together and we'll get it all done

      Some day

      When your head is much lighter

     Some day

      We'll walk in the rays of a beautiful sun

     Some day

     When the world is much brighter”

 

10. "Feel It Turn" -- Great Big Sea

    "Fog lifts to reveal potential

      For generations prophesized

     Our growth to be exponential

     Our promise finally realized

 

     Cut steel wired into water

     Fixed link, circumnavigate

    Old men see your sons and daughters

    No longer, no longer hesitate

 

   I can see the earth below me

   and I can feel it turn " 

 

11. "So Here We Are” -- Bloc Party

     " I made a vow, to carry you home... home

       I figured it out

       I can see again

       I can see ahead" 

12. " Everything I Have Is Yours” -- Billie Holiday

     "Everything I have is yours you're part of me

      Everything I have is yours my destiny

     I would gladly give the sun to you if the sun were only mine

    I would gladly give the earth to you and the stars that shine

 

     Everything that I possess I offer you

     Let my dream of happiness come true

    I'd be happy just to spend my life waiting at your beck and call

   Everything I have is yours my life my all" 


dudewithak, I'm curious: Did you include Passion Pit because you knew I went through an obsessive phase with them? Or did you just feel they fit the stories, without knowing of my affection for them? Just wondering.
