Just a quick note: I'm so happy this is finally up! (And don't worry about the wait, there are more importanting things in life than posting mixes for virtual strangers. I really appreciate that you did this!)
Sadly, there's a big family party at my house today and I'm involved in the preparations, so I won't have time to really look at this until tonight. (Else I'll be skinned alive.) I'll leave a comment as soon as I did!

So. I listened to it now and I love the songs you've chosen for it! Most of the songs I didn't know before, but they are all very fitting (love the lyrics you listed). Also, the cover you created for it really fits the world I had in mind.

Thank you so much for this!

There's one thing, though: A lot of the songs don't work. They play, but there is no sound, and converting them to another type didn't work either. Could you possibly fix that? I'd love to hear them, and I'd also like to link to this fanmix in my masterpost (if you don't mind).

These are the broken ones:
Dust in the Wind
100 Generations
Nemo
Cardinal Directions
Inside of You, In Spite of You
25 Years

:D Whee, I'm so glad it works for you! It was a fun mix to make. And I am a bit proud of the cover, if I may be so.

I'm sorry about the songs! I reuploaded the whole thing, actually, because they were actually iTunes protected files. >> Usually I'm so good at weeding those out! But it should be fixed now. Do you need the individual downloads, or is just redownloading okay with you?

You're welcome; it was my pleasure.

I downloaded it again and all works well now, thank you very much!

I'm going to post a link to this with the new chapter on Friday.

Wow!! This is wonderful! I had never downloaded any fanmix before, but this story is so wonderful that I just *had* to try it! And I absolutely loved the songs you chose!!

This is the perfect mix between nostalgic, mysterious, epic and kind of hopeless. Exactly what reading ATGBWOO makes me feel! This is going directly to my Ipod!!

By the way, listening to 'Dust in the Wind' while thinking about this fic, made me tear up completely...

[minviendha]

I love fanmixes, both the making of and the listening to. I'm so glad you enjoyed this one! I had a great time making it, trying to keep to the essence of the story and finding music that reminded me of it.

I think the one that gets me is "Paper Cities", actually, which I used before for a Winchesters in general fanmix. >>

Since you're taking about your favourites here, I think the ones that get me most in regard to the fic are 25 Years, Nemo and Inside of You, In Spite of you. A lot of the others, too, but these are the ones that spring to mind most. (Along with some songs not included in this mix, like War by Poets of the Fall, or Cold as It Gets by Patty Griffin - if you don't know it, check the lyrics. It's my Cas-to-Dean song. I'd make a mix of my own, but uploading anything would get me arrested in my coutry and I'm too much of a coward to risk it. Sucks.)

I got your mix on a special playlist which I'm listeing to whenever I write this story.
By the way, did I tell you how happy it made me that you included some Vienna Ten songs? One I didn't even know yet.
