Title: Interlocked
Fandom: The Mentalist
Rating: G
Length: 2 graphics, playlist link & selected song lyrics
Summary: A Jane/Lisbon fanmix, made for the "Letters" January challenge at Paint It Red.
Author's Notes: The idea behind this mix was to use the first letter of each song to spell out Jane and Lisbon - which I managed, though it took some work!

Interlocked - on Grooveshark

Life is for Living - Coldplay

Now I never meant
To do you wrong
That's what I came here to say

           Jump Then Fall - Taylor Swift

           I like the way I can't keep my focus
           I watch you talk you didn't notice
           …
           Every time you smile, I smile
           …
           The bottom's gonna drop out from under our feet
           I'll catch you, I'll catch you

Iris - Goo Goo Dolls

You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't wanna go home right now
…
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
...
And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies

           All Fall Down - One Republic

           Whenever your world starts crashing down
           That's where you'll find me.
            …
           Love 'til you hate
           Strong 'til you break
           Know that we all fall down

Stop The World - Demi Lovato

I don’t know how
to fix the pain
…
livin a lie
we just need to change
…
You can’t stop the world
but there’s so much more that we could do

            Need You Now - Lady Antebellum

           And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
           For me it happens all the time
            …
           Guess I'd rather hurt than feel nothin' at all

Blackbird On The Wire - The Beautiful South

Heart that makes you bypass
every other girl
Smile that keeps you grinning
at the madness of this world
…
And with a tongue built from quicksilver
and a character of steel

           El Problema - Ricardo Arjona

           El problema no es que mientas,
           El problema es que te creo.
           ...
           Y cómo deshacerme de tí, si no te tengo?
           Cómo alejarme de tí, si estás tan lejos?

           The problem is not you lying,
           The problem is that I believe you
           ...
           And, how do I get rid of you if I don't have you?
           How do I move away from you if you’re already so far?

O - Only One - Yellowcard

Broken, this fragile thing now
And I can't, I can't pick up the pieces.
And I've thrown my words all around,
But I can't, I can't give you a reason.
…
Made my mistakes, let you down
And I can't, I can't hold on for too long.
Ran my whole life in the ground
And I can't, I can't get up when you’re gone.


N - Not Alone - Red

Looking for a distant light
Someone who could save a life
You're living in fear that no one will hear your cries
…
Your heart is full of broken dreams
Just a fading memory
And everything's gone but the pain carries on
…
I am with you
I will carry you through it all
I won't leave you I will catch you

I like the first picture, with the white and black..it looks really nice. And I'm impressed that you managed to spell out their last names with relevant songs! I don't think I could manage that. I also like that you alternated the songs...it contributes to the idea of interlocking together.

Thank you! The first picture isn't actually from the show, it was a photoshoot, but it's such a great one I had to use it.

Spelling their names out took me a while! I was lucky to find a forum thread about songs people associated with them, which helped me with a couple of letters I was stuck with - and quite often I'd go "Oh, that works!... Yeah, because there's a G in their names *headdesk*".

That was the idea with alternating the songs - it'd have worked better if Jane had one letter more, or Lisbon one less, but I still liked the effect - I'm glad you did too!
