Supernatural Fanmix: Vagabonds, Ben/Claire
Title: Vagabonds
Subject: Ben/Claire
Summary: I've had stories floating around in my head about Ben and Claire for over a year now, and one of them has finally culminated into a mix. This mix! :D
So here is my 'Ben and Claire traveling a post-apocalyptic America on a motorcycle fighting zombies and falling in love' fanmix. Though, I don't like them solely as a romantic pairing. I think their friendship is a lot more important than anything else and their codependency is based more on wanting to feel safe and not alone than romantic feelings. But! They do also ~like~ each other. So there you go.
Evan Rachel Wood used as Claire, Ian Somerhalder used as Ben (coyotesuspect and I may have reached a compromise with Paul Wesley!Ben, but I just love this picture of Ian for Ben. Also, he's on a motorcycle!).
Thanks to coyotesuspect for the help. I WILL NEVER DIE ON YOU AND LEAVE YOU OUT IN THE COLD WITH NO FOOD AND WORMS AND YOU HAVE TO GO BEGGING PEOPLE FOR FOOD MEOW MEOW AND LOVE BECAUSE I LOVE YOU.
Notes: Fanmix includes front and back cover, fifteen individually uploaded songs, and a .zip file of all the songs together. Enjoy! :)
01. World Without End - A.A. Bondy
if you return to love, the sky thick with sleeping doves and the spider's dirty web, catch a ghost
and a breeze blew down the tracks and her hair of raining black, and hearts pumping blood in 3/4 time
so don't leave me behind for I'm lost among my kind, and now you are broken, I am less
and world without end, oh, world without end, and where my girl are you sleeping tonight?
02. Furr - Blitzen Trapper
yeah, when I was only seventeen I could hear the angels whispering
so I drove into the woods and wandered aimlessly about
and I lost the taste for judging right from wrong, for my flesh had turned to fur
and my thoughts they surely were turned to instinct and obedience to god
on the day that I turned twenty-three I was curled up underneath a dogwood tree
when suddenly a girl, her skin the color of a pearl
she wandered aimlessly but she didn't seem to see
she was listening for the angels just like me
and now my fur has turned to skin and I've been quickly ushered into a world that I confess I do not know
but I still dream of running careless through the snow through the howling winds that blow
across the ancient distant flow to fill our bodies up like water til we know
03. She Comes to Me in Dreams - Great Lake Swimmers
I am in an uproar, are you coming to me
just want to run with you, what state are you in now?
guess you are asleep now, goodnight for real now
she comes to me in dreams, she comes to me in dreams
in love with your vision, show me where to sign on
when I saw you wholly, light exploded in me
this is a convergence, this is a convergence
04. Forever Song - Josh Pyke
we sleep together while all around us people kill each other where they lie
the afternoon can bring with it shallow moods, but I'd jump a harbour wall to clear your mind
I quarter the years, you drop the sails til we're clear, I'll look for reefs, you map the stars in the night
and history tells us of worlds we'll know nothing of, then retrospect becomes a shackle tight
on the ankle of us, oh, in the future we trust, we cross our fingers like some kids telling lies
05. Sweet Disposition - The Temper Trap
sweet disposition, never too soon
oh, reckless abandon, like no one's watching you
a moment, a love, a dream, a laugh, a kiss, a cry
our rights, our wrongs
just stay there cause I'll be coming over
while our blood's still young, it's so young, it runs
and won't stop til it's over, won't stop to surrender
06. Piazza, New York Catcher - Belle and Sebastian
elope with me, miss private, and we'll sail around the world
I will be your ferdinand and you my wayward girl
how many nights of talking in hotel rooms can you take?
how many nights of limping round on pagan holidays?
oh, elope with me in private and we'll set something ablaze
a trail for the devil to erase
07. Old Old Fashioned - Frightened Rabbit
give me soft, soft static with a human voice underneath
we can both get old fashioned, put the brakes in these fast, fast wheels
let's get old fashioned, back to how things used to be
if I get old, old fashioned, would you get old, old fashioned with me
we will waltz across the carpet, one two three, two, two, three
so give me the soft, soft static with the open fire and the shuffle of our feet
we can both get old fashioned, do it like they did in '43
08. Before It Gets Better - Earlimart
there's a light that just won't go out no matter what they try to do
cause you can't pull out the circuits, remove the bulb or blow the fuse
and it just might be the brightest star discovered yet by man
but it might as well be a pinhole from where we stand
there are times when I thought it'd be easy to ignore
but it just takes one look and I don't believe my theory anymore
I won't get upset, I won't fight it, I have no escape in mind
but the distant roar of the highway just won't subside
so don't leave soon, don't leave this room, we'll be on top of the moon
but til then it's a bloodbath, it's a bloodbath, and it's getting worse
so don't feel bad, don't look so sad, we're much more than that, but for now
it's a deathtrap, it's a deathtrap, and it's gonna get worse
it's gonna get worse, it's gonna get worse before it gets better
09. Bullets - Tunng
we're catching bullets in our teeth, it's hard to do but they're so sweet
and if they take a couple out, we try to work things out
we're catching bullets with our heads and hearts and all the darkest parts of us
it's strange to find such light in such an endless night
so sweet to lose a friend, you leave the church and taste the air in your lungs
old lies and fireflies, carve angels on your eyes and all is undone
you whisper prayers into the dark, up to a god in whom you've never believed
we're catching bullets with the best resources that we've got
we're happy, then again, we're not, we shout through the endless doubt
10. The Engine Driver (live) - Colin Meloy
I'm an engine driver on a long run, on a long run
would I were beside her, she's a long one, such a long one
I'm a county lineman on a high line, on a high line
so will be my grandson, there are powerlines in our bloodlines
and I am a writer, writer of fictions, I am the heart that you call home
and I've written pages upon pages trying to rid you from my bones
11. Here I Dreamt I Was an Architect/Dreams (live) - Colin Meloy
and here I dreamt I was a soldier and I marched the streets of birkenau
and I recall in spring the perfume the air would bring to the indolent town
where the barkers call the moon down, the carnival was ringing loudly now
and just to lay with you, there's nothing that I wouldn't do, save lay my rifle down
but you, my soiled teenage girlfriend, and how you furrowed like a lioness
and we are vagabonds, we travel without seatbelts on, we live this close to death
12. Such Great Heights - Iron & Wine
I am thinking it's a sign that the freckles in our eyes are mirror images and when we kiss they're perfectly aligned
and I have to speculate that god himself did make us into corresponding shapes like puzzle pieces from the clay
and true, it may seem like a stretch but it's thoughts like this that catch my troubled head when you're away, when I am missing you to death
and that frankly will not fly, you will hear the shrillest highs and lowest lows with the windows down when this song is guiding you home
13. What About Everything? - Carbon Leaf
get away and come with me, come away with me and we'll see
if I was right on that night that our future was made
before time takes each year, like a knife, cuts it clear
with no one left to blame, what about fortune and fame
what about your love to obtain? what about the ring, what about
what about everything? what about aeroplanes and what about ships that drank the sea
what about the moon and stars, what about soldier battle scars and all the anger that they eat?
14. Sons and Daughters - The Decemberists
when we arrive, sons and daughters, we'll make our homes on the water
we'll build our walls aluminum, we'll fill our mouths with cinnamon now
here all the bombs fade away, here all the bombs fade away
15. Up the Wolves - The Mountain Goats
there's bound to be a ghost at the back of your closet no matter where you live
there'll always be a few things, maybe several things, that you're gonna find really difficult to forgive
there's gonna come a day when you'll feel better, you'll rise up easy on that day
just when that day is coming, who can say? who can say?
our mothers have been absent ever since we founded rome
but there's gonna be a party when the wolf comes home
your music
