Fanmix: The Wheel - Dead Zone FST
Fandom: Dead Zone (the television series)
Subject: general focus on Johnny Smith, inclusion of Bruce
Title: The Wheel
Notes: Over on fst , punjab_banks requested a Dead Zone fanmix! (Imagine my delight!) Perfect excuse to finally get something new going for this fandom. Ages ago I'd started a more specific DZ playlist, but I decided to stick to something a little more general this time. Of course, my bias toward Johnny and Bruce shows up. It's all friendship here except for one bit that's nearer to slashy pairing. =p Can't help it.
If anyone is familiar with my other FSTs or my vids I've done over the years, you'll recognize some things. I've done a couple vids to songs included here, and other songs I've used before... Though from the very beginning, "Karma Slave" has always been a Dead Zone destined song for me.
01. K's Choice - Not an Addict
It's over now, I'm cold, alone / I'm just a person on my own
Johnny and his visions
02. Aimee Mann - Save Me
You will come to save me / C'mon and save me / If you could, save me / From the ranks of the freaks / Who suspect they could never love anyone
Johnny counts on Bruce
03. Trespassers William - Fragment
Oh, what to call this / Tell me how I'm supposed to touch you
Bruce to Johnny - wanting to be there, but still unsure. Perhaps earlier on when he isn’t sure he can touch Johnny without hurting him.
04. Barenaked Ladies - Call and Answer
I think it's getting to the point / where I can be myself again / It's getting to the point / where we have almost made amends / I think it's the getting to the point / that is the hardest part
Johnny… struggling with visions; yet the chorus is more Bruce
05. Splashdown - Karma Slave
Today I'll be spinning on a Wheel / I'm a slave to a Wheel / And there isn't any stopping / What mistakes could I have made? / I'm a slave serving time for a life that I've forgotten
Johnny and visions
06. Pulp - The Fear
This is the sound of someone losing the plot - / making out that they're okay when they're not
Johnny putting on the strong front, but really lost and confused, feeling pretty alone with a burden of visions and believing he’s the only one who can stop Stillson (and Janus)
07. Train - Calling All Angels
I want a reason for the way things have to be / I need a hand to help build up some kind of hope inside of me / And I'm calling all angels / I'm calling all you angels
Johnny, overwhelmed by the visions and weight it puts on him
08. The Fray - How to Save a Life
Let him know that you know best / Cause after all you do know best / Try to slip past his defense / Without granting innocence / Lay down a list of what is wrong / The things you've told him all along
Bruce to Johnny as he goes toward the fanatical side of Stillson/apocalyptic things or pushing himself too hard
09. Anathema - Parisienne Moonlight
I see you feel for me / You cried with me / You would die for me
Johnny to Bruce, recognizing how much Bruce does for him
10. Amelia - Between the Bars
People you've been before that you don't want around anymore / They push and shove and won't bend to your will / I'll keep them still
Bruce acting as buffer and protector
11. Poe - Haunted
And I’m haunted / By the lives that I have loved / And actions I have hated / I’m haunted / By the lives that wove the web / Inside my haunted head
Johnny’s life and past, plus all the visions he has
12. Gary Jules - Mad World
All around me are familiar faces / Worn out places / Worn out faces
Visions
13. Dido - Take My Hand
Touch my skin, and tell me what you're thinking / Take my hand and show me where we're going / Lie down next to me, look into my eyes and tell me, oh tell me what you're seeing
Bruce’s POV, at Johnny’s side… yeah, bordering into slash
14. Alanis Morissette - You Owe Me Nothing In Return
I'll give you countless amounts of outright acceptance if you want it / I will give you encouragement to choose the path that you want if you need it / You can speak of anger and doubts your fears and freak outs and I'll hold it / You can share your so-called shame filled accounts of times in your life and I won't judge it / (and there are no strings attached to it)
So completely how Bruce acts in his friendship with Johnny
Download includes: All tracks (majority are MP3s, but I could only get "Take My Hand" as an mp4, sorry), song list doc, and album art.
