009. There and back again, a Jacob Black fanmix
download
I've done for my dear Jacob something I'd never done for any other mini-fanmix so far: I'll add a comment for each song. Twilight may be as sucky as you want, but some characters cannot be loved. Unluckily for all of us, some songs in this fanmix are Bella/Jacob related, but trust me, that was inevitable.

01. The Pretender - Foo Fighters
What if I say I’m not like the others
What if I say I’m not just another one of your plays
You’re the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender
Jacob has just found out he's a werewolf but he doesn't want to give up on Bella, and he'll keep come on to her. [New Moon]
02. Kelsey - Metro Station
so don’t let anyone scare you
you know that i’ll protect you
always all through the thick and thin
until the end
you better watch it
you know you don’t cross it because
i’m always here for you
and i’ll be here for you
(i know x3) i know how it feels believe me
i’ve been there
(i know x3) i know what it feels like
tell me kelsey [...]
i’d swim the ocean for you
the ocean for you
whoa, oh kelsey [x4]
and you never ever let me in (let me in)
Despite his many attempts of having Bella fall in love with him (and saving her life too, as for the episode of the cliff when he swims in the ocean for her) Bella won't surrender to him. [New Moon]
03. Think Twice - Eve 6
When all is said and done
And dead does he love you
The way that I do
Breathing in lightning
Tonight's for fighting
I feel the hurt so physical
Think twice before you touch my girl
Come around I'll let you feel the burn
Think twice before you touch my girl
Come around come around no more
Think twice before you touch my girl
Come around I'll let you feel the burn
Think twice before you touch my girl
Come around no more
Wait till the day you finally see
I've been here waiting patiently
Crossing my fingers and my t's
She cried on my shoulder begging please
Jacob and Edward confront each other many times over Bella, and Jacob insists on keeping him away from the girl for her own safety. [Eclipse]
04. Walking away - Craig David
I'm walking away from the troubles in my life
I'm walking away oh to find a better day
I'm walking away from the troubles in my life
I'm walking away oh to find a better day
I'm walking away
Well I'm so tired baby
things you say you're driving me away
whispers in the powder room baby
don't listen to the games they play
girl I thought you'd realise
I'm not like them other guys
coz I saw them with my own eyes
you should've been more wise
and well I don't wanna live a lie, too many sleepless nights
not mentioning the fights, I'm sorry to say lady
Jacob decides to leave 'cause he thinks that, if there's no more space for him in Bella's life, then Forks is not a place for him anymore. We all remember how hard it was to see him running away so devastated at the end of the book, and I think Craig David's song reflects perfectly his melancholic feelings. [Eclipse]
05. Woods - Bon Iver
I'm up in the woods
I'm down on my mind
I'm building a still
to slow down the time.
A suspended parenthesis in time and space, days we all asked questions about to ourselves, about what Jacob could be doing and how he could feel after leaving, all alone in the woods. [btw. Eclipse and Breaking Dawn]
