Be My Ever After, a j2_everafter fanmix
*waves* Hi!
The j2_everafter challenge kicked off recently with Whatever You Wish For, You Keep by obsessed1 and juice817 , an absolutely gorgeous modern Cinderella retelling (and if there's any more early posters out there LET ME KNOW!!). So instead of actually getting down to working on my own fic, i made a fanmix. *headdesk*
I'm The Man Who Murdered Love ~ XTC
"There'll be no more pain / from broken hearts / And no more lovers to be torn apart / Before you throw me / in your dungeon dark / Your honour, they'll be putting statues up / In every park"
In most J2fics, one of them is most likely bitter about the whole "love thing," willing to write it off as a joke or...you know, i just really like this song. It's happy peppy angry. ^^
Leaving on a Sunday ~ The Format
"But you talk so loud
that it calms me down
You're crying "Let's make a toast" "
Happy peppy angsty. Only the awesomest song in the world, and though it isn't specifically one J or the other (okay it's Jensen), but it's also such a boy song.
Be My Yoko Ono ~ Barenaked Ladies
"Isnt it beautiful to see two people so much in love?
Barenaked as two virgins hand in hand and hand and hand in glove.
Now that Im far away it doesnt seem to me to be such a pain.
To have you hanging off my ankle like some kind of ball and chain."
So it was either this or One Week, which i figure everyone has. And also? This makes me think of chash's j2 college 'verse When You Care Enough to Hit Send for no reason, which i LOVE.
Princess ~ Matt Nathanson
"oh princess you make the party / you've been everybody's darling now
everybody's win
bold for the boys who / keep you guessing
and all those things/ running around..."
What kind of fiarytale soundtrack would this be without ONE song with the word "princess" in it? A laaaaame one.
Vegetable Car ~ Joshua Radin
"Baby, you don’t even know me but one day I’ll get up the courage as you pass by.
You’ll see.
Oh baby, one look just might save me.
I need you to slow by the corner. Stop right in front of me."
This is just too cute. And i love fics where one of the boys is longing cutely from afar. <<<333
Why Don't You and I ~ Nickelback & Santana
"Every time I try to talk to you
I get tongue-tied
Turns out, everything I say to you
Comes out wrong and never comes out right"
The boys are just MEANT...TO BE. And its up to us as fangirls to spread the world. Via...Santana.
Check Yes Juliet ~ We The Kings
"Run, baby, run
Don't ever look back.
They'll tear us apart
If you give them the chance.
Don't sell your heart.
Don't say we're not meant to be."
For all the J2 fics with difficult families who just can't see the meant to be-ness, i give them this song to stick somewhere uncomfortable.
So Close ~ Jon McLaughlin
"So close to reaching that famous happy ending
Almost believing this one's not pretend
And now you're beside me and look how far we've come
So far, we are, so close "
It's from Enchanted, okay? I'm a soundtrack junkie. Plus, i also have this, um, thing for guys who can sing? So fics like The Song On Track Number Five by keepaofthecheez and la_folle_allure --or just Jensen being himself--make me happy. ^_______________^
White Horse ~ Taylor Swift
"That I'm not a princess / This ain't a fairytale
I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet
Lead her up the stairwell
This ain't Hollywood, / This is a small town
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down
Now its too late for you and your White Horse,
To come around."
Okay, this one has the word princess in it too. For the eventual blowup that temporarily tears the boys appart.
You Can Close Your Eyes ~ Sheryl Crow
"It wont be long before another day
We gonna have a good time
And no ones gonna take that time away
You can stay as long as you like"
I...have no idea what this song is about. But it feels appropriate! XD
Tomorrow is a Long Time ~ Nicklecreek
And only if my own true love was waiting,
if I could hear his heart softly pounding,
Only if he was lying by me,
Then I'd lie in my bed once again.
The post-meltdown song, where something stupid blows up and they temporarily break up, just before the spectacular reunion
Twilight Serenade ~ Jason Myles Goss
"so here's to you, like brothers tonight
tried and true, fading in the twilight
well i can hear you breathing / see your picture on the wall
I would give you my wings / If they'd help you at all"
Because nothing says J2 like a veiled wincest reference ;) You know its true.
Rock & Roll ~ Eric Hutchinson
"If he wanna rock, he rocks
if he wanna roll, he rolls
He can roll with the punches
Long as he feels like he’s in control"
There's no one good quote from this song because it's all so good, but lets just pretend its about Jensen and Jared partying it up, blissfully in love.
BONUS TRACK ~ Penny & Me ~ Hanson
Cause Penny and me like to roll the windows down,
Turn the radio up, and push the pedal to the ground,
And Penny and me like to gaze at starry sky's,
Close our eyes, pretend to fly,
It's always Penny and me tonight
So i only recently found out what this song was about, because the words are pretty much undecipherable for all that its an AWESOME song--and i totally thought it was about two guys (one of them named Benny) going on a roadtrip. SO. You can totally pretend its about whatever you want!
ZIP FILE SENDSPACE ~*~ ZIP FILE MEGADOWNLOAD
And, as with all of my fanmixes, i have no right to ask a comment from you, because i am a hopeless soundtrack ninja. But if you feel so inclined, know that it would make my day ^^
