ali_wildgoose said she didn't understand why I wasn't making fanmixes all the time, So last night, on the train home from the holiday, I was tired of writing and decided to get over myself already and make a mix!

ali_wildgoosePersuasion is a conversation, and except for the start and finish, the songs go back and forth between Ryan and Simon.
- Björk—Jóga.
They meet, and it changes everything.And you push me up to this
State of emergency,
How beautiful to be,
State of emergency,
Is where I want to be. - Missing Persons—Mental Hopscotch
Ryan: Why are you holding back?Sometimes you say you will sometimes you say you won't
you always keep me waiting waiting hesitating
At times I think you do at times I think you don't
my mind is rollerskating, skipping, jumping rope, and fading - Split Enz—One Step Ahead
Simon: I have my reasons.If I stop I could lose my head
So I'm losing you instead
Either way I'm confused
You slow me down, what can I do? - Matthew Sweet—Girlfriend
Ryan: But I got what you need, baby.Don't you need to be back
In the arms of a good friend?
'Cause honey believe me
I'd sure love to call you my girlfriend - Erasure—Who Needs Love Like That
Simon: I'd rather not.Love can turn you upside down and leave you cold
It's plain to see you're losing all control.
Who needs love like that? - Ryan Adams—Gonna Make You Love Me
Ryan: Don't kid yourself; you're already in it.This old world, well, it was mine to take
Faith can keep you warm, but I'll teach you how to shake
And I'll come to you like a little girl
It's only gonna make you love me more - Adam Ant—Desperate But Not Serious
Simon: I'm a handful—sure you're ready for that?If I ask you difficult questions
If I make improper suggestions
Would you find that a risk to your health
Would you put me up on the bookself
With the books and the plants? - Kenna—Sun Red Sky Blue
Ryan: Bring it. I can take whatever you dish out.I can feel your hesitance
Let me heal the heart of it, my love
Give me your sun red sky blue
Love, I'm falling into you - Duran Duran—Want You More!
Simon: Are you putting me on?What if you're just faking?
What if you knew you could?
What if you get off on manipulating? - Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers—You Got Lucky
Ryan: Enough! You have no reason to doubt me.Remember
Good love is hard to find
You got lucky, babe
When I found you - Aqualung—If I Fall
Simon: All right, I believe you, but I'm still a little scared.Never saw it coming
Left me dazed
And i don't know where to turn - INXS—Burn For You
Ryan: Well, I'm right here.It's always an adventure
The fantasies we make a fact
You're the secret I desire
I can't keep that to myself - Abba—Waterloo
Simon: Okay. You got me.My my, I tried to hold you back but you were stronger
Oh yeah, and now it seems my only chance is giving up the fight
And how could I ever refuse
I feel like I win when I lose - Death Cab For Cutie—Transatlanticism
Ryan: Wow, this distance thing sucks.The distance is quite simply much too far for me to row
It seems farther than ever before
I need you so much closer - Snow Patrol—You're All I Have
Simon: But we have each other now, at leastI've gotta see you one last night,
Before the lions take their share,
Leave us in pieces, scattered everywhere,
Just give me a chance to hold on
Just give me something to hold onto - Cream—Sunshine Of Your Love
So they get there, in the end.I'm with you my love,
The lights shining through on you.
Yes, I'm with you my love,
It's the morning and just we two.
I'll stay with you darling now,
I'll stay with you till my seas are dried up.

Notes:
I think mostly what held me up from doing fanmixes in the past is that I was being really literal about it—like, I didn't want to make a mix of songs that reminded me of some pairing, but a mix of songs that one of those characters would give to the other, and then I would run into all kinds of problems with the music I owned. The mix really began with the Kenna song, which struck me as so very them, and gave me the idea for the rest of the mix. Not that I'm not still obsessive about it—I managed to get all the Americans singing for Ryan and the Brits for Simon, with the odd European or Antipodean swinging back and forth and a minimum of indie rock because these are pop guys. And no really sad songs because Simon doesn't like them.
Enjoy!
