Almost Done Screaming- A Kensei/Hiro Fanmix

1. I'd Love to Change the World- Ten Years After
I'd love to change the world
But I don't know what to do
So I'll leave it up to you


When Hiro first came, Adam was more set on becoming rich than actually changing the world. As great as it would have been, it sounded like something that was too high for him to reach and he would rather have Hiro do all the work for him.
This mix starts off upbeat, as Kensei is reather cheerful, carefree, and cheeky to start.

2. A Walk Through Hell- Say Anything
And I'd slay the horrible beast they commissioned
To steer me away from my mission to your eyes.
And I'd stand there, like a soldier, with my foot upon his chest,
With my grin spread, and my arms out, in my bloodstained Sunday's best


After Adam realized what he could do, he bent to Hiro's every command and whim. He did anything that Hiro claimed needed to be done with out a question.
Again, upbet due to the fact that Kensei is on top of the world and hasn't lost his faith in humanity yet. This is the point that we see Kensei at his happiest.

3. The Walk- Imogen Heap
It's not meant to be like this.
Not what I planned at all.
I don't want to feel like this.
Yeah.
No it's not meant to be like this.
Not what I planned at all.
I don't want to feel like this.
So that makes it all your fault.


When Yaeko and Hiro kissed, Adam was devestated because Hiro betrayed him. He blamed everything on Hiro, who was essentially his savior. He seems to almost disreard Yaeko and focus on Hiro's betrayal. It is this that continues to drive him and also the end to their friendship.
The music starts to take a turn for a darker scheme.

4. Wish You Were Here- Pink Floyd
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears
Wish you were here


The only thing that Adam is driven by is his need to interact with Hiro. Without Hiro, Adam simply acts as a mercenary and waits for his chance to meet Hiro again. His view of Hiro warps from inspiration to obsession.
The music is very repetitive, showing how Kensei's days just meld into the same repetitive and predictable schedule for the next three hundred years.

5. Something I Can Never Have- Nine Inch Nails
You always were the one to show me how
Back then I couldn't do the things that I can do now
This thing is slowly taking me apart


When Adam founds the company, there is really no turning back. By setting it up, he hopes that he will be able to find Hiro again. Due to what Adam has done, however, Hiro has become someone that he can never obtain.
The melody begins to twist to something dark and desolate. At this point, Adam has been waiting for a ridiculous time in order to meet Hiro again.

6. Bukowski- Modest Mouse
If God controls the land and disease,
keeps a watchful eye on me,
If he's really so damn mighty,
my problem is I can't see,
well who would wanna be?
Who would wanna be such a control freak?


Adam began to think of himself as God, I'm sure after abandoning his belief in an active God when seeing everyone die around him from disease and aining no help. He assumed his own abilities made him above everyone else and closer to God than any of them.
This song's melody is warped and demonic, the state of mind that Adam has assumed.

7. Shadowplay- The Killers
To the centre of the city where all roads meet, waiting for you
To the depths of the ocean where all hopes sank, searching for you
Moving through the silence without motion, waiting for you
In a room with a window in the corner I found truth


All that Adam is driven by is his need to be close to Hiro and destroy him. By this point, Adam's mind has become completly and bitterly wraped around the idea of being close to Hiro again and becoming his obsession again.

8. No More Good Guys-Skindive
I I died today,
but I'm still breathing,
bleeding,
for now,
I'm broken.
You left me here,
Capsized and sinking,
thinking, right now,
there's no more good guys.

This is based on the quotes from the show, "Only to have you become a villian." Hiro said. "I learned that from you." Kensei claimed.
It was then that Hiro buried Kensei alive, leaving him to spend an eternity on the brink of death. Some might say that this is crueler than the mercy of death.

Very nice mix of songs. I love the progression. I definitely have to burn this off so I can listen to it at work (and burn holes in my brain again).
Ame_ame_no_chikara on December 9th, 2007 11:30 pm (UTC)
Thank you very much =^^= Work mix? Ha- I hope it inspires.
Your icon fascinates me, by the way @_@
powered_otakupowered_otaku on December 10th, 2007 12:09 am (UTC)
Oh yeah, I get inspired at work. Which really bites because it's the time I have least to work on anything that. Sigh...

I thought it was pretty cute myself. Cannot take credit for it, though. It's by gpeefalt.
Ame_ame_no_chikara on December 10th, 2007 12:19 am (UTC)
Ha- true story. My semester is about done and I have to get my wisdom teeth, so I'll probably have nothing better to do than write stories ^^;

I want it, but for some reason the site keeps saying it's unavailable? Not sure why.

I finally tamed the internet for long enough to download this. And I love it! The songs fit the ship so perfectly.
Ame_ame_no_chikara on December 12th, 2007 07:01 am (UTC)
Ha~<3! Thank you very much! Sorry your internet is evil, though. =(
Guanínguanin on December 12th, 2007 10:25 pm (UTC)
It's manic-depressive. Sometimes it feels like working, sometimes it doesn't. All the internet connections we've had at my house are like that, though, because we live on a hill. The altitude screws with the signals or something.
Ame_ame_no_chikara on December 12th, 2007 11:07 pm (UTC)
That's crazy. O_O At my house, I can't get DSL, so before I came to college, I was unable to really do anything for fandoms but write fanfiction.
don't try this at home: woohoo!enigel on December 14th, 2007 08:07 am (UTC)
Kiro is (twisted, bitter, doomed) Love! Something I Can Never Have and No More Good Guys give me shivers. I like the mix title too. :D
Ame_ame_no_chikara on December 14th, 2007 07:21 pm (UTC)
He~<3 Thank you very much! ^^
