fanmixes; eight ~ i'll watch the world tear us apart

The Bible; Jesus/Judas/Mary

I have the best of friends. And by that I mean those who encouraged me to take this on as a subject for a fanmix. I sincerely hope you enjoy it because I had a ton of fun making it. Technically this is a Jesus Christ Superstar fanmix but since JCS is basically Bible fanfic I'm lumping this in the overarching Bible fandom. Yup.

Made for waywardmixes round 9: angst

About: The inspiration for this mix came from watching the Stratford Shakespeare Festival's 2011 production of Jesus Christ Superstar (which actually turned into the 2012 Broadway revival version because it was just that epic) featuring Josh Young as Judas, Paul Nolan as Jesus and Chilina Kennedy as Mary Magdalene. The production leaned really heavily on the threesome angle. I mean, I think the original script leans on it quite a bit, but this production just emphasized it that bit further. The show is the story of Jesus in his last days, focusing particularly on Judas and Mary's parts in his life. It shows the reasons for Judas' betrayal and how it came out of a place of love rather than anything else. It follows the relationship between the three of them among other things and their importance to each other. And of course, given the story a fair number of us are familiar with, it ends in death and angst.

Dear Fellow Traveler | Sea Wolf you spoke my language / and touched my limbs it wasn't difficult / to pull me from myself again and in our travels  / we found our roads you held it like a mirror / showing me the life I chose (Judas ↔ Jesus)

The Dress Looks Nice On You | Sufjan Stevens i can see a lot of life in you i can see a lot of bright in you and I think the dress looks nice on you i can see a lot of life in you (Jesus → Mary)

Lay Down Your Lonesome Burden | Daniel Martin Moore instrumental (Mary → Jesus)

Heaven On Their Minds | Josh Young and all the good you've done / will soon get swept away you've begun to matter more / than the things you say i remember when this whole thing began no talk of god then, we called you a man and believe me, my admiration for you hasn't died (Judas → Jesus)

All The Way Down | Glen Hansard you have broken me all the way down / down upon my knees and you have broken me all the way down you'll be the last, you'll see some fight you gave, when i pushed you away from me (Jesus → Judas)

Haunt | Bastille and thoughts come to mind / that our short little lives haven't left the path that they will tread i'll come back to haunt you / memories will taunt you and i will try to love you /  it's not like I'm above you (Judas ↔  Jesus ↔ Mary)

Reminder | Mumford & Sons so i watched the world tear us apart a stoic mind and a bleeding heart you never see my bleeding heart (Judas → Mary + Jesus)

Speaking a Dead Language | Joy Williams oh, i wonder /  when did it all stop making sense? i don't understand /  i remember we were so sure, so innocent oh, but that was then / can we ever go back again? (Mary ↔ Judas ↔ Jesus)

Where I Stood | Missy Higgins i don't know what i've done / or if i like what i've begun there were sounds in my head / little voices whispering that i should go and this should end / oh and i found myself listening cause she will love you more than i could she who dares to stand where i stood (Judas → Jesus + Mary)

Forgiveness | Sarah McLachlan loving lying enemy / i have seen your face before never thought again i’d see / didn’t want to anymore and you ask for forgiveness / you’re asking too much i have sheltered my heart in a place you can’t touch (Jesus + Mary → Judas)

The Wolves (Act I and II) | Bon Iver someday my pain, someday my pain / will mark you harness your blame, harness your blame / and walk through (Jesus ↔  Judas ↔ Mary)

❀

Nineteen | Tegan & Sara i felt you in my legs / before i even met you and when i laid beside you / for the first time i told you i feel you in my heart / and i don't even know you now we're saying bye, bye, bye (Mary → Jesus + Judas)

Cold Is The Night | The Oh Hello's many are the days i've wanted to cease lay myself down and find some relief heavy is the head that gets no sleep we carry our lives around in our memories take this burden away from me and bury it before it buries me (Mary)

I downloaded from 4shared eventually, just had to delete the anonymer link beforehand. MF hated me too though. Maybe I'm just unlucky today. Might be the proxy I'm using that stops it from working, IDK.
