Fanmix: Love is All that Matters (Ben/Anna - Wayward)
There are times when two people look at each other and you know that it's true love. A love that lasts through the good times and the bad. Ben and Anna are a beautiful representation of this kind of love, and as they have grown during their time in Wayward Sons, you can't help but love these two for all the small nuisances of their romance, and hope that the future will be a bit more kind to them...
Love is All That Matters: A Ben & Anna Fanmix
1. Exactly What I Didn’t Want to Happen - Whitney Duncan
I used to find
Peace of Mind
In my solitude
And now I'm going crazy
Every minute without you
And that's exactly what I
Didn't want to happen
But you and me
Had to be a perfect fit
Yeah, right from the get-go
I couldn't let go
When ya held me tight
It felt so right
That I said I want some more
Of this
And that's exactly what I
Didn't want to happen
But I'm glad it did
When this verse first started eons ago, as muns we both actually tried not to let these two ship. The muses, however, had plans of their own and gravitated to each other. Ben fell first, but Anna kept a distance still. This song reminds me of her struggle not to let Ben into her heart and not become my preferred OTP in any of my verses

2. Feeling Fine - Three Brave Woodsmen
I've got no where to go
I've got no place to be
and there's no monkey on my back
that's eating me
so I'm taken by as far as I can roam
and if I close my eyes the world becomes my home
when I step outside
when I chase the wind
And I'm feelin' fine
I'm feelin' fine
This on is pretty self explanatory. Anna is a free spirit and loves to roam. Ben loves his car and could drive for days without complaint as long as his music is blaring out open windows. It's something they can do together forever without complaint.

3. Thank You - Boys II Men
Cause even though when times got rough
You never turned away
You were right there
And I thank you (thank youooo)
When I felt I had enough
You never turned away
You were right there
And I thank you (thank you)
This is a Ben song that's a bit playful, and shows just how much he appreciates Anna putting up with his shit when he has hit little meltdowns. He knows she could have just kicked him to the side a long time ago, but she sticks around and helps him get his head back on straight, and he appreciates it.

4. Just Might (Make me Believe) - Sugarland
I got someone who loves me more than words can say
And I'm thankful for that each and every day
And if I count all my blessings, I get a smile on my face
Still it's hard to find faith
But if you can look in my eyes
And tell me we'll be alright
If you promise never to leave
You just might make me believe
This is a bit of both of them. They are both afraid at times of losing the other, and all it takes is them to be together and just in that moment, it restores their faith in each other staying together even in the tough times.

5. More than I Deserve - Christian Kane
Livin' with me, it ain't easy
but I do it every day
sometimes even now
I wanna run away
but there you are
you're tryin' to please me
yeah you stand your ground
it's more than I deserve
I've taken more than I've been given
I've taken for granted this life I'm livin'
I don't know why heaven above
blessed me with your sweet love
though I never tell you what you're worth
it's more than I deserve
This is something Ben thinks of late at night when he should be sleeping but is just laying there with Anna in his arms, grateful that she's there for him. He knows lately he hasn't been the easiest person to live with, and his realization that it's him and not the people he blames for his problems, the fact Anna hasn't given up on him makes him wonder just what he did right to deserve someone like her in his life.

6. Beautiful Disaster - Kelly Clarkson
He's magic and myth
As strong as what I believe
A tragedy with
More damage than a soul should see
And do I try to change him?
So hard not to blame him
Hold on tight
Hold on tight
Oh 'cause I don't know
I don't know what he's after
But he’s so beautiful
Such a beautiful disaster
And if I could hold on
Through the tears and the laughter
Would it be beautiful?
Or just a beautiful disaster
As Anna sees Ben after the djinn kidnapping, things have changed. There's two versions of her in his head and he's struggling to put everything back together in the right way on his own. All she can do is sit back and hold his hand and hope she can get her Ben back when it's all said and done.
~
7. Crawlin’ - Linkin Park
Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real
There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
Consuming/confusing
This lack of self-control I fear is never ending
Controlling/I can't seem...
This is purely Ben and his battle with the turmoil inside of him that he just can't seem to win against. Ever since he was kidnapped by Meg, the anger in his soul has just kept growing and it's getting to a boiling point and he's starting to get scared of himself and how he treats his own family.
~
8. So Small - Carrie Underwood
It's so easy to get lost inside
a problem that seems so big at the time
it's like a river that's so wide
it swallows you whole
While you sit around thinking about what you can't change
and worrying about all the wrong things
time's flying by
moving so fast
you better make it count 'cause you can't get it back
Sometimes that mountain you've been climbing is just a grain of sand
What you've been up there searching for
forever is in your hands
When you figure out love is all that matters after all
It sure makes everything else
Seem so small
This is Anna's song to Ben. She's worried about him all the time because of the falling out he's having with his father, and brother as a side effect. It feels like she doesn't know how to help him with this anymore but won't stop trying to help him through it.
~
9. Someone Like You - Keith Urban
There's a new wind blowin' like I've never known.
I'm breathin' deeper than I've ever done.
And it sure feels good, to finally feel the way I do.
I wanna love somebody,
Love somebody like you.
An' I'm lettin' go of all my lonely yesterdays.
I've forgiven myself for the mistakes I've made.
Now there's just one thing, the only thing I wanna do, mmm, mmm.
I wanna love somebody,
Love somebody like you.
Ben knows he loves Anna, but his anger gets in the way of a lot of things and he has been pushing people away. He will eventually get some help on that, and when he get himself "fixed", he's going to come out with a healthier mindset at life and knowing what he wants. And number one on the list... is spending forever with Anna.

10. What if it All Goes Right - Melissa Lawson
what if that road that you're taking's a dead end
What if love leaves you all jaded and broken
what if that limb breaks you're climbing out on
yeah, what if it all goes wrong
But, what if it all goes right
what if it all works out
what if the stars line up
and good luck rains down
what if you chase your dreams
and it changes your whole life
Yeah, what if it all goes right
Yeah... this is Ben's argument to Anna when she refuses to give him an answer right away on his proposal. He loves her more than he can really ever describe in words, and he knows she's afraid of commitment like this... but he wants to prove to her that she can look past her fears and see that this can be a spectacular thing too.
