I may tweak some of these later, but for now the list is...
Episode~ Title~ by Artist
3.01 The Magnificent Seven~ Inside Out ~ by Eve 6
Dean's blase attitude and Sam's frustration and growing fear about it...
I would swallow my pride; I would choke on the rinds
But the lack there of would leave me empty inside
Swallow my doubt; Turn it inside out; Find nothing but faith in nothing
Want to put my tender heart it in a blender; watch it spin round to a beautiful oblivion
Rendezvous then I'm through with you
\\
The tick tock of the clock is painful
All sane and logical
I want to tear it off the wall
\\
Folded up and just pretend
Demented as the motives in your head
\\
I alone am the one you don't know you need
Take heed feed your ego
Make me blind when your eyes close
Sink when you get close
It'll even get Wincest-y if you're into that thing (I'm not) with the Tie me to the bedpost...
3.02 The Kids Are Alright~ What a Fool Believes ~ by The Doobie Brothers
Yes, I'm applying soft rock directly to Dean... I may still be slightly bitter about the Deal...
He came from somewhere back in her long ago
The sentimental fool don't see
Tryin' hard to recreate
What had yet to be created once in her life
Somewhere back in her long ago
Where he can still believe there's a place in her life
Someday, somewhere, she will return
What seems to be
Is always better than nothing
There's nothing at all
But what a fool believes he sees...
I adore Dean and I know why he wants the apple pie life, I just can't see him actually living it...
3.03 Bad Day at Black Rock~ Your Horoscope For Today ~ by Weird Al
Putting the "horror" in horoscope... Besides the boys' are fun...
Aquarius (Dean)
There's travel in your future when your tongue freezes to the back of a speeding bus
Fill that void in your pathetic life by playing Whack-A-Mole seventeen hours a day
Taurus (Sam)
You will never find true happiness - what you gonna do, cry about it?
The stars predict tomorrow you'll wake up, do a bunch of stuff, and then go back to sleep
Now you may find it inconceivable or at the very least a bit unlikely that the relative position of the planets and the stars could have a special deep significance or meaning that exclusively applies to only you, but let me give you my assurance that these forecasts and predictions are all based on solid, scientific, documented evidence, so you would have to be some kind of moron not to realize that every single one of them is absolutely true.
Where was I?
3.04 Sin City~ Jaded ~ by Aerosmith
Sam and all the hits that keep on coming: Dean's refusal to fight, Mary's secrets, and Ruby's demonic nature --- How he just snaps and shoots with no hesitation. The YED got the last laugh after all...
Hey j-j-jaded, you got your mama's style
But you're yesterday's child to me
So jaded
You think that's where it's at
But is that where it's supposed to be
You're gettin' it all over me and serrated
My my baby blue - Yeah I been thinkin' about you
My my baby blue - Yeah you're so jaded
And I'm the one that jaded you
Yeah I'm so jaded
And baby I'm afraid of you
3.05 Bedtime Stories~ Modern Myth ~ by 30 Seconds to Mars
Did we create a modern myth
Did we imagine half of it
Would happen in a thought from now
Save yourself
The secret is out
To buy the truth
And sell a lie
The last mistake before you die
So don't forget to breathe tonight
Tonight's the last so say good-bye
The secret is out
Good-bye
It reminds me of the little girl, trapped and warping reality trying to die.
3.06 Red Sky At Morning~ Stupid Girl ~ by Garbage
A Bela song... because really, WHY DIDN'T SHE TELL THEM HERE? They would have helped her.
You pretend you're high; Pretend you're bored;
Pretend you're anything just to be adored
And what you need is what you get
Don't believe in fear - Don't believe in faith
Don't believe in anything that you can't break
You stupid girl- All you had you wasted
What drives you on can drive you mad
A million lies to sell yourself is all you ever had
Don't believe in love; Don't believe in hate
Don't belive in anything that you can't waste
You stupid girl - Can't believe you fake it
Don't believe in fear; Don't believe in pain
Don't believe in anyone that you can't tame
3.07 Fresh Blood~ Just Like You ~ by Three Days Grace
Sam re: Gordon
I could be mean
I could be angry
You know I could be just like you
Gordon re: Sam
I could be fake
I could be stupid
You know I could be just like you
Dean re: Gordon
You thought you were standing beside me
You were only in my way
You’re wrong if you think that I’ll be just like you
This was originally for Hunted in Season 2 but it's more the way Gordon went out. Becoming the monster to stop the monster - just like you, Sam. And I like that Dean's there to argue the point.
3.08 A Very Supernatural Christmas~ Evil Son of Santa~ by Fred Crabtree
DUDE. I am not making this up...
3.09 Malleus Maleficarum~ Invincible ~ by Muse
Because this episode seems to be when Ruby finally realizes she's not getting rid of Dean.
Sam and Dean
Follow through - make your dreams come true
Don't give up the fight \\ You will be all right
Cause there's no one like you in the universe
Don't be afraid what your mind conceives
You should make a stand -- Stand up for what you believe
And tonight we can truly say, "Together, we're invincible"
And during the struggle, they will pull us down
But please, please let's use this chance to turn things around
And tonight we can truly say, "Together, we're invincible"
And Ruby to Sam
Do it on your own, makes no difference to me
What you leave behind, what you choose to be
and whatever they say - Your soul's unbreakable
3.10 Dream a Little Dream of Me~ Objects in the Rearview Mirror (May Appear Closer Than They Are) ~ by Meatloaf
I'm not of the school of thought that John was an abusive or neglectful father. So to me this is the Demon!Dean taunting.
And when the sun descended and the night arose
I heard my father cursing everyone he knows
He was dangerous and drunk and defeated
And corroded by failure and envy and hate
\\ The demon's twisting of Dean's disappointment in John
And though the nightmares should be over
Some of the terrors are still intact
I'll hear that ugly coarse and violent voice
And then he grabs me from behind and then he pulls me back
\\ Dean remembering it afterwards
But it was long ago and it was far away, oh God it seems so very far
And if life is just a highway, then the soul is just a car
And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are
I like Dean relating his soul to a car.
3.11 Mystery Spot~ Battle of One ~ by 30 Seconds to Mars
Sam vs The Trickster
Try and stop me
Try and save me
I want to fall...
Try and cross me
Take me, tease me
I want to fall
... saving Dean by any means necessary
3.12 Jus in Bello~ Gods of War ~ by Def Leppard
Feelin' like it's all over, feelin' like there's no love
Feelin' like it's not easy, breathin' life in the dust
On a countdown to zero take a ride on the nightmare machine
There ain't gonna be heroes
There ain't gonna be anything
Here it comes, hell in the night
When we all fall down
When we walk into silence
When we shadow the sun
When we surrender to violence
Then the damage is done
We're fightin' for the gods of war but what the hell we fightin' for?
3.13 Ghostfacers~ Pretty Fly (For a White Guy) ~ by Offspring
So don't debate, a player straight
You know he really doesn't get it anyway.
He's gonna play the field, and keep it real.
For you no way, for you no way.
So if you don't rate, just overcompensate.
At least you'll know you can always go on Ricki Lake.
The world needs wannabe's.
So (Hey! Hey!) do that brand new thing.
A wannabe song for the wannabes...
3.14 Long-Distance Call~ Running On Empty ~ by Jackson Browne
Dean's desperate grasping at straws.
Gotta do what you can just to keep your love alive
Trying not to confuse it with what you do to survive
In sixty-nine I was twenty-one and I called the road my own
I don't know when that road turned onto the road I'm on
Running on - running on empty
Running on - running blind
Running on - running into the sun
But I'm running behind
3.15 Time Is On My Side~ Hallelujah ~ by Jeff Buckley
Overdone, but still fits both Bela and Dean realizing there's nothing left.
Well maybe there's a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who'd out drew ya
And it's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
(if that's too depressing - Oingo Boingo's Weird Science also comes to mind for Doc Benton...)
3.16 No Rest For The Wicked~ No Quarter ~ by Led Zepplin
A slight cheat. This was the working title for the episode... so of course, it fits.
They choose the path where no-one goes
They hold no quarter,
They hold no quarter.
Walking side by side with death
The devil mocks their every step
The snow drives back the foot that's slow
The dogs of doom are howling more
But a kick ass Winchester song nonetheless... Kripke PWNS me.
