Ok, so - don't expect any great insight into Sam's character from this, no, no.
These are just songs that have reminded me of Sam, for various reasons.
Wtf LJ? WTF?
LJ has been disgusting to me with this post, mucking with the formatting, spontaneously reverting to earlier versions. *sigh*
Oh the pain.
Sitting inside my Head - Supergroove [
Download]
I walk around this town
As buildings close and windows are boarded
I think about you
When I hear a door slam in the wind
And the glass on the mat says welcome
I think about you
Sitting inside my head,
Laughing at what I said
Come on baby
Let's have another toast
You might think I'm dense,
Laughing at my expense
Let's fill the cup
let's wash away the ghost
In this ghost town where we live
There's a wanted poster of you on every corner
She keeps asking me 'who's that' and 'what's her name?'
But I choke on every letter,
As the glass flies off the table
I keep telling her
I ain't the one to blame
Sitting inside my head,
Laughing at what I said
Come on baby
Let's have another toast
You might think I'm dense,
Laughing at my expense
Let's fill the cup
Let's wash away the ghost
I left when I was gone,
I didn't feel a thing
I didn't think you'd haunt me this long after
But the buildings crumble down,
As I run from the town
I hear you breathe
And I listen to your laughter
Sitting inside my head,
Laughing at what I said
Come on baby let's have another toast
You might think I'm dense,
laughing at my expense
Let's fill the cup
Let's wash away the ghost
I walk around this town
As buildings close and windows are boarded
I think about you
When I hear a door slam in the wind
And the glass on the mat that says Welcome
I think about you
I think about you (repeat many times)
I was listening to this sometime just after Asylum & Home, and constructed a whole mental fanvid in my head to this, with plenty of shots of the grotty asylum, Home, (& drinking in pilot and Skin), and starting off with the general being haunted by Jess (& his Mom) but for the last section, flip some scenes into sepia and use them out of context as a 'I missed Dean when I left, too' kinda thing. *headdesk*
Sappy. But. Poor Sam. All his dreams go up in smoke.
Trigger Happy Jack - Poe [
Download]
He scares easily
It makes him so... angry
At me
And his head it spins around
Just like the exorcist and I
Find it ever so
Hard to resist his cries
But there's nothing more sadistic than an infant
Waving his pistol in my face
He wants me right down on my knees
Crumbling in disgrace
But he underestimates my mind
I know he's messing with my head
My only weakness is
I can't believe the guy could be entirely dead
You can't talk to a psycho like a normal human being
Can't talk to a psycho like a normal human being
Trigger Happy Jack you're gonna blow
But I'm gonna get off before you go
My Trigger Happy Jack is just a drive by
A Go-Go
And after a while he calms down
And he looks at me like a prince
But I know I better bite the bullet
'Cause it's just another one of his
Jedi mind tricks
Well this ain't no head trip honey
This is a collision on the road
And you've got me feeling oh just like a roadkill
But you know deep down I know
You can't talk to a psycho like a normal human being
Can't talk to a psycho like a normal human being
Trigger Happy Jack you're gonna blow
But I'm gonna get off before you go
My Trigger Happy Jack is just a drive by
A Go-Go
Why do you make me feel like this?
Why do you gotta be such a dick?
(I feel like shit)
Go-Go
And I hate myself
Just enough to want him
And I hate him just enough to get off
But I understand him
Maybe I'm just crazy enough
To love him
Why not?
Why not
You can't talk to a psycho like a normal human being
You can't talk to a psycho like a normal human being
You can't talk to a psycho like a normal human being
You can't talk to a psycho like a normal human being
You can't talk to a psycho like a normal human being
Uhhhhhh.
So, the verses are about Sam from Dean's perpective. *Cheats! Cheats big time!*
Yes, this is just another mental fanvid, also largely Asylum inspired. But awww, check those lyrics! The Dr going Emperor Palpatine on Sams head, possibly even the cell-phone call, then Wee!Dean holding baby-sam, then Sam threatening to shoot Dean, actually it's far too tempting to have it a mostly Asylum mental-vid, but I think it'd work better going across many episodes. Like the expression on Dean's face when Sam talks smack about his EMF reader. And, this was way, way before the finale so we are not going to that place when we get to the lines about roadkill, nuh uh. Think the end of Wendigo. And then, yeah, the happy out-of-context angry wincesty shots. *Glee!*

Why try? I'm that guy
Holden Caulfield from "Catcher In The Rye"
Put away 'cause he wasn't all there
Like a jigsaw puzzle you might compare
Me to him not a liver but wurst
Been much better off as a still birth
Big let down unparalleled
Like the last episode of "Seinfeld"
Or Jack Lemmon in "Glengarry Glen Ross"
Pepsi Challenge took it lost
Just fizzed out with my wires crossed
Buttons pushed but never went off
Like Martha I will self-destruct
The name's Dunnstock it's not Dumptruck
Just cursed as fuck with no such luck
My future plans include not much
Never gonna be never gonna be never gonna never gonna be
Nothin' more than me
Never gonna be never gonna be never gonna never gonna be
Nothin' more than me
Never gonna be never gonna be never gonna never gonna be
Nothin' more than me
Always gonna be always gonna be always gonna always gonna be
Most likely to suck
Wanna be a Ghostbuster
First black President, owner of "Hustler"
Got shot down like Larry Flynt
Felt like shit like a bowel movement
Have you seen my will to live?
Because I seem to have lost it
Lovelife? No but Mom thinks I'm handsome
Couldn't get off if I held a pimp for ransom
Feel like Jimmy Stewart no one sees my Harvey
Toxic Shock Syndrome gets more girls than me
Like Pee Wee Herman spermin' I can
See the future in the palm of my hand
Psychic Friends, Network loser
Large phone bill in my very near future
Dealt nothing and bluffing hard
Playing poker with a joker and some Uno cards
Never gonna be never gonna be never gonna never gonna be
Nothin' more than me
Never gonna be never gonna be never gonna never gonna be
Nothin' more than me
Never gonna be never gonna be never gonna never gonna be
Nothin' more than me
Always gonna be always gonna be always gonna always gonna be
Most likely to suck
Most likely to suck
Most likely to suck
Most likely to suck
Most likely to suck
Most likely to suck.
Oh god, it was just ones that reminded us of them, right? There didn't actually have to be any real rationale behind it, yeah? *groans*
I listened to this one on repeat (and then mental repeat) while cleaning the last (7 person!) flat I moved out of - y'know, just getting my angry cleaning groove on, while said flatmates slacked off. *rolls eyes*
Ok, so it was the mention of the 'Ghostbuster' and the bit from "I can See the future in the palm of my hand". Don't tell Sam though, please?

Passenger - Deftones [
Download]
I lay
Still and breatheless
Just like always
Still I want some more
Mirrors sideways
Who cares whats behind
Just like always
Still your passenger
The chrome buttons buckled on leather surfaces
These and other lucky witnesses
Now to calm me
This time wont you please...
Drive faster!
Roll the window down
This cool night air is curious
Let the whole world look in
Who cares who sees anything?
Im your passenger
Im your passenger
Drop...these down
Then...put them on me
Nice...cool seats there
To cushion your knees
Now to calm me
Take me around again
Dont pull over
This time wont you please
Drive faster!!!
Roll the window down
This cool night air is curious
Let the whole world look in
Who cares who sees what tonight?
Roll these misty windows
Down to catch my breath and then
Go and go and dont just
Drive me home then back again!
Here I lay
Just like always
Dont let me
Go... (9x)
Take me to the end...
Ooops, ok, so again I cheat, because kitsune_red was the one who originally pointed this out to me. Just, Sam as Dean's passenger, slightly wincesty vibe, but more importantly, the lack of control Sam has over his life, his destiny. What burned up at Stanford was Sam getting to choose his own future. I'd be angry.
I'm still pretty uncertain as to what Sam's musical tastes would be, except that I think he might like Radiohead *shrugs* (and he has Oasis hair... o_O Not gonna think about that!).
Oh, and that Dean would never, ever play it in the Impala.
There's at least one more song that makes me think of Sam, big time, so I reserve the right to add it, once I remember it.
