Title: Measure of a Man
Notes: I was so excited to create a mix for this beautiful McCoy/Kirk friendship fic. They are my favorite duo from the entire Star Trek 'verse and alexajohnson did a wonderful job of telling their story.





01 | 4 Minute Warning // Radiohead

This is just a nightmare
Soon I'm going to wake up
Someone's going to bring me around


02 | We're Going to be Friends // The White Stripes

Well here we are, no one else
We walked to school all by ourselves
There's dirt on our uniforms
From chasing all the ants and worms
We clean up and now its time to learn


03 | Hear You Me // Jimmy Eat World

What would you think of me now,
So lucky, so strong, so proud?


04 | Scandinavian Skies // Billy Joel

We climbed towards the sun, we turned and cursed as one


05 | Liar, Liar // A Fine Frenzy

Liar, liar, you're such a great big liar
With the tallest tales that I have ever heard
Fire, fire, you set my soul on fire
Laughing in the corner as it burns
Right between the ribs, it's sinking in


06 | Waiting for my Real Life to Begin // Colin Hay

Let me throw one more dice
I know that I can win
I'm waiting for my real life to begin


07 | Shady Esperanto & the Young Hearts // Stephen Kellogg & the Sixers

Help me to forget about the lions chasing me
If a man among us has the notion that he's free
I entreat you to the challenge, stand on up and let's see


08 | City // Sara Bareilles

It's clear this conversation ain't doing a thing
Cause these boys only listen to me when i sing
And I don't feel like singing tonight


09 | Dinner Bells // Wolf Parade

I heard all your reasons
I heard all your plans
I have seen the seasons
Clutched up in your hands


10 | Stand // Rascal Flatts

On your knees you look up
Decide you've had enough
You get mad you get strong


11 | One Year, Six Months // Yellowcard

I can tell that you don't know me anymore
It's easy to forget, sometimes we just forget
And being on this road is anything but sure


12 | Gives You Hell // All-American Rejects

And truth be told, I miss you
And truth be told, I'm lying
