Pick Your Poison (Modao Zushi: Jiang Cheng)

[zdenka]

(Whoops, I'm not sure which round we're in--still Round 4 or the Amnesty Round? fiachairecht, please let me know how you'd like me to tag it.)

This is for the Round 4 theme "Alone". It's a fanmix for Jiang Cheng from Modao Zushi/Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation. I have another fanmix that goes along with this one, for Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian--I was working on both fanmixes together and actually switching songs back and forth between them like golden cores until I found an arrangement I liked. I have to finish up the graphics for the second one, and I'll post it probably in a couple days.

Pick Your Poison

Fanmix on YouTube

The fanmix title is a slightly tongue-in-cheek reference. In canon, Jiang Cheng’s sword is named Sandu (three poisons) and his title is Sandu Shengshou (master of the three poisons), which is a reference to a concept in Buddhism (that the three poisons of greed, anger, and ignorance are the cause of human suffering).

1. Prince of Spades by Dispatch

Did you take me for a fool or for a wife?

2. Give Us a Little Love by Fallulah

Where do we belong, where did we go wrong?
If there's nothing here, why are we still here?

3. Wait For It by Leslie Odom Jr. (from Hamilton by Lin Manuel Miranda)

My mother was a genius
My father commanded respect
When they died they left no instructions
Just a legacy to protect

4. Tell Me Why by Within Temptation

I've buried the good and evil
Only memories left behind
I am the one still standing

5. All the King's Horses by Karmina

Free to go back on my own
But is it still a home when you're all alone

6. Youth by Daughter

And if you're in love, then you are the lucky one
'Cause most of us are bitter over someone

7. You Were Wrong by Icon for Hire

Pick my brain, pick your poison
If I'm to blame then I ain't the only one

8. Landscape by Florence + the Machine

'Cause she's just like the weather, can't hold her together

9. Endless War by Within Temptation

All the memories remain
All the pain from your broken home
And the walls 'round your heart grew so strong
You can't let go

10. Is There Anyone Out There by Delta Rae

Children born tomorrow
May never know the language we speak
The wisdom that they borrow
Will hint at something buried too deep

Aha crap I was *just* thinking I'd let rl interfere with this for way too long, but I wasn't sure the interest was still there. I never officially closed round 4, so you can be our one entry for that!

[zdenka]

Okay. :) If you'll give me another couple days you'll have another one? I have the fanmix done but I wanted to fiddle with the graphics a little more. Or if the comm's going into an amnesty round, that's fine too!

I'm still interested, but I got busy and distracted for a couple months there.

Sure! I'll make a post - shall I close Round 4 next Friday? I was doing well closing rounds on Fridays for a while there.

Yay, thanks! That should do fine.
