Explanation time!Anyone whose played The Sims and/or The Sims 2 might be familiar with the Goth Family - Mortimer and Bella their children Cassandra (Sims/Sims 2) and Alexander (Sims 2). In The Sims 2 the Pleasantview neighborhood follows the Goth Family twenty-five years after the original game. It's revealed through the story telling/memories that at some point in the past. Bella Goth disappeared. It strongly hinted at that she was abducted by aliens actually. The Goth family is moving on with their live; elderly Mortimer has two female love interests and Cassandra is engaged to be married while Alexander is growing up. If you saunter over to the Strangetown neighborhood though you might be a little surprised to find a townie with a startling resemblance to an unaged Bella wandering about. (Actually people say this Bella is a doppelganger; the real Bella is somewhere in Pleasantview and much harder to find. Either way...)This mix explores the idea that Bella was abducted by aliens returned and slowly regained her memories of her family and found them to be vastly changed. It's meant to deal with her anger/sadness at having lost everything. So without further ado... A Bella Goth Fanmix[ abduction / return ]If You Still Believe (Legend of Dragoon)Do you still remember all the time that has gone by (…do you remember...) Do you still believe that love can fall out from the sky If form where you're standing you can see the sky above (…do you believe…) I'll be waiting for you if you still believe in love Tonight and the Rest of My Life (Nina Gordon)Down to the earth I fell With dripping wingsHeavy things won't fly And the sky might catch on fire And burn the axis of the world Mother of a Mother (Michael Giacchino)Instrumental[ memories ]Once Upon a Time: The Battle of Life and Death (Good Charlotte)(LifeIt dies)Inside Out (Eve 6)I see our time had gotten staleThe tick tock of the clock is painfulAll sane and logicalI want to tear it off the wallMy Skin (Natalie Merchant)Contempt loves the silenceIt thrives in the darkWith fine winding tendrilsThat strangle the heart They say that promisesSweeten the blowBut I don't need themNo. I don't need them[ mortimer ]Torn (Natalie Imbruglia)Well you couldn't be that man I adored You don't seem to know don't seem to care what your heart is for But I don't know him anymore There's nothing where he used to lie My conversation has run dry That's what’s going on nothing's fine I'm torn Delicate (Damien Rice)So why'd you fill my sorrowsWith the words you've borrowedFrom the only place you've knownAnd why'd ya sing HallelujahIf it means nothing to youWhy'd you sing with me at all?Viva Forever (Spice Girls)Yes I still remember.

Tears stream down on your face I promise you I will learn from my mistakes Tears stream down your face and I... Lights will guide you home And ignite your bonesAnd I will try to fix you.
aaaahahahhaa what an interesting mix i haven't ever dived into the goth family history i mostly just play in veronaville myself but this is really interesting and i'm going to show it to my mom later! hahaha she'll love it!i snagged the zip because you have some songs on there i want and don't have [ie: boom boom ba from dead like me][have you heard 9 crimes by damien rice with lisa hannigan? you might want to take a listen if you haven't already]
I admit. I hesitated before I put a Spice Girls (and a Good Charlotte) song on this but I thought what the hey. I love both songs even if the bands are so often mocked. :)As for Fix You that's (hopefully) the last Colplay song I'll ever use in a fanmix because let's face it they're way over used. The song just fit the mix so well though. I couldn't resist.
