[fanmix] Hebrews 11:40 [Supernatural, Castiel/Various]
Another fanmix that secretly dreams of being a fic when it grows up, this time focusing on everybody's favorite angel. (Unless, of course, you're in Good Omens, in which case this mix features your second-favorite angel. Though if you're into GO, why are you skulking around here?) Castiel: the beginning, the middle - the beings who have pushed, changed, challenged, hurt, and loved him - and the now. The relationships explored can be construed as romantic or sexual pairings - Dean/Castiel and angel incest, as it were - or entirely gen, or a mixture of the two. I tend to view it as romantic love/influence from Dean and familial from the angels, but see it as you will; I have no part in it beyond the making.
As for the covers: I was experimenting with non-traditionally-shaped fanmix covers, finished the first version, and then realized it was way too big to post to any communities. So tonight, you have two covers for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!
Metric : Blindness
I was a blindfold, never complained.
I was the one with the world at my feet...
What it is and where it stops, nobody knows;
but you gave me a life I never chose.
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club : Fault Line
Drowning in the rising tide at my father's door.
Nancy Elizabeth : Bring On the Hurricane
Soon realized I cannot stay here alive -
just like everything around me, I'm driven to survive.
...
There's only two doors open: to die or to fight.
Jose Gonzales : Slow Moves
A compromise between honesty and lies
to lead me past their sly disguise.
My moves are slow but soon they'll know.
Behind the scenes they grow their schemes,
hiding intentions, revealing only fractions.
Their moves are slow but soon you'll know.
They'll keep on whispering their mantras;
we'll keep on whispering our mantras.
My moves are slow but soon they'll know.
Their moves are slow but soon you'll know.
Mirah : Don't Die In Me (Nighttime in the Delta Remix)
Did you forget how much you once loved me?
David Byrne : Shell Shock
[Instrumental.]
Jesca Hoop : Havoc In Heaven
Oh, begun the havoc in heaven.
Mirah : The World Is Falling
There's a knocking on the hull, you hear it.
There's bones a-rattlin' under us.
We set out without the smarts to fear it,
with ignorance and gutless trust.
Tell me once again if everything is as it seems.
If things are getting better,
what's that crashing down the stream?
Marissa Nadler : Undertaker
I was your undertaker, and I was your highway girl.
I was your bitter taste of every other world.
Spider : The Bitter One
And I saw you were wise,
and I saw you were good.
And I loved you the moment
I knew that I could.
Iron & Wine : Cinder and Smoke
Give me your hand
and take what you will tonight, I'll give it as fast.
You'll ask me to pray for rain
with ash in your mouth.
You'll ask it to burn again.
Neko Case : Vengeance Is Sleeping
I'm not the man you think I am.
The Frames : Rise
And surely it's a sign now,
that everything's in tune
to some kind of higher plan.
Surely it's a sign that you were right.
Dar Williams : And a God Descended
Well, a god descended and the reason ended.
His life was lifted just above the law,
and now we have to live with what we did; with what we saw.
You build your faith with strength and duty,
build your love but there's a beauty.
Well, you know the scriptures tell
there are a few shards left in hell,
and if we wanted a god we had to follow, follow him down.
City of Prague Orchestra : Main Theme from Thelma and Louise
[Instrumental.]
Jose Gonzales : How Low
How low are you willing to go
before you reach all your selfish goals?
Punch line after punch line
leaving us sore, leaving us sore.
Absorbed in your ill hustling
you're feeding a monster, just feeding a monster.
Invasion after invasian, this means war, this means war.
Someday you'll be up to your knees in the shit you seed.
All the gullible that you mislead won't be up for it.
Where to will you relocate now that it's war?
Lhasa de Sela : Anywhere On This Road
There is nowhere to stop
anywhere on this road.
The Mountain Goats : Hebrews 11:40
Blood calls to blood as the hours draw down.
Invent my own family if it comes to that.
Hold them close; hold them near.
Tell them no one's ever going to hurt them here.
...
If not by faith, then by the sword,
I'm going to be restored.
Ludovico Einaudi : Yerevan
[Instrumental.]
Thomas Tallis : Spem in Alium
I have never put my hope in any other but you.
Spring Awakening : I Believe
Oh, I believe.
