-Tred- все записи автора This is certainly one of my more spastic mixes. The title and inspiration came from the popular book Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert M. Pirsig. I really aimed to use love songs that linked Jake's love for Bella and his love for machines together, but the songs morphed away from that the more I worked on the mix. In the end, it became more of a commentary on Eclipse, starting out hopeful at the beginning, full of new opportunities and truths. By the end, however, it speaks of unrequited love, lost futures, and sadness. Additionally, I loved the cover art so much that I made three wallpapers out of it, available below the download link.





Love and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
A Jake/Bella Fanmix

01. How Do I Get There – Deana Carter
We've always been the best of friends /No secrets and no demands/But suddenly from somewhere out of the blue/I see a different light around you/One thing I haven't told you, I just want to hold you/And never let go, I need to know/How do I get there from here

02. Start Me Up – Rolling Stones
You make a grown man cry/Ride like the wind at double speed/I'll take you places that you've never, never seen/Start it up/Love the day when we will never stop, never stop/Never stop, never stop

03. Take Me Home Tonight – Eddie Money
I get frightened in all this darkness/I get nightmares/I hate to sleep alone/I need some company/A guardian angel to keep me warm when the cold winds blow/I can feel you breathe/I can feel your heartbeat faster. . . .

04. Break Things – Erika Jo
You don’t believe me I can see you laughin’/But trust me I’m an accident waiting here to happen/Cause I break things/Anything I touch/I just get around and then I’m bound to tear ‘em up/Yeah, I make things/Snap and fall apart/So if you wanna hold me boy, you’d better watch your heart/Cause I break things

05. Thunder Road – Bruce Springsteen
Well now I’m no hero/That’s understood/All the redemption I can offer, girl/Is beneath this dirty hood/With a chance to make it good somehow/Hey what else can we do now/Except roll down the window/And let the wind blow/Back your hair/Well the nights busting open/These two lanes will take us anywhere/We got one last chance to make it real/To trade in these wings on some wheels

06. You Make Me Feel – Diamond Rio
How I ever made it to you heaven only knows/With the doors and the windows to my inside closed/I don't now how you got in/But I'll never let you out again/Cause you make me feel every single drop of rain/My heart's revealed every time I hear your name/I feel your touch in the sunlight on my skin/The subtle brush of your kisses in the wind

07. A Matter of Trust – Billy Joel
I know you're an emotional girl/It took a lot for you to not lose your faith in this world/I can't offer you proof/But you're gonna face a moment of truth/It's hard when you're always afraid/You just recover when another belief is betrayed/So break my heart if you must/It's a matter of trust/You can't go the distance/With too much resistance/I know you have doubts/But for God's sake don't shut me out

08. Unwritten Letter #1 – Vienna Teng
You gave me truth/I chose illusion/Now we are used to this confusion/But I know/Yes I know/This story has to end/Never groped for a connection/Never hoped for more affection/For I know/I know I am your friend/Only your friend

09. Motorcycle Drive By – Third Eye Blind
And there’s this burning, like there’s always been/I’ve never been so alone, and I’ve never been so alive/Visions of you on a motorcycle drive by/The cigarette ash flies in your eyes, and you don’t mind, you smile/And say the world doesn’t fit with you.

10. The Sun – Maroon 5
And I can smell hot asphalt/Cars screech to a halt to let me pass/And I cannot remember/What life was like through photographs/Trying to recreate images life gives us from our past/And sometimes it’s a sad song/But I cannot forget/Refuse to regret/So glad I met you/Take my breath away/Make everyday/Worth all of the pain that I have gone through
