.music: The apocalypse for beginners (Dean, Castiel)
Okay, so this is possibly the first fanmix I've ever done... Very likely with the exception of Robert Johnson and Chris Thomas, Dean would hate every song on here, but too bad. It's taken from music I listen to when trying to get ideas together for art and fics, and it occured to me that the lyrics of some of the songs might plot a nice trajectory from S3 through S4 and into a future where I imagine an ending that is not completely blood and pain. The final track is one of my favorites, but I kind of love everything on here.
Track Listing
Before
01. Cross Roads Blues | robert johnson
I went to the crossroad, babe, I looked east and west
Lord, I didn't have no sweet woman, ooh well, in my distress
02. Lonesome Valley | fairfield four
You've got to go to the lonesome valley
And no one else can go with you
Hell
03. Drove through Ghosts to Get Here | 65 days of static
04. Dexter | daniel licht
On Earth
05. Headlights | dispatch
Moving out of shadow
We made some wrong moves along the way
06. Some Devil | dave matthews
Some angel is stuck inside of me
But I cannot set you free
07. Ball and Chain | big brother & the holding company
Something grabbed a hold of me
And it felt just like a ball and chain.
08. Pagan Angel and a Borrowed Car | iron & wine
While with his gun the pagan angel rose to say
My love is one made to break every bended knee
09. Hard Time Killing Floor Blues | chris thomas
And the people are driftin' from door to door
Can't find no heaven, I don't care where they go
10. Top of the World | dixie chicks
I wish it had been easier instead of any longer
I wish I could have stood where you would have been proud
That won't happen now, that won't happen now
11. A Change Is Gonna Come | the band
Just like this river I've been running ever since
12. Storm | jose gonzales
As soon as the storm is over
I promise to send out for you
And After
13. Ramshackle | beck
We will go
Nowhere we know
'Til we find our one and all
14. Guitar for Crossroads | eric clapton & buddy guy
download
In other news: I am super excited about my Sweet Charity stuff! There are Ideas starting to foment. On a vaguely related topic, No Parachute was nominated for this monthly award-thingy over at The Readers Have Spoken(?) and if you'd like, you can vote for it here. And, on a topic not at all related to any of the above, I should probably clean stuff today.
