and he could come back to me dead: a sally jackson (percy jackson and the olympians) fanmix [ep]
So, apparently this is how I expressive fandom love these days. I read the third book in France. Guh. LOVE.
(And yes, I will actually get around to telling ya'll about said country. It's just, compressing eleven days of cultural collision into el-jay size is, like, hard o.O)
Sally Jackson ... man, I love my mom, but if I was a demigod with a prophecy over my head that determined I would either save or destroy the mortal and immortal worlds together, I would want a mom like Sally Jackson.
"Your mother was a queen among women," Poseidon said wistfully. "I have never met such a mortal woman in a thousand years. Still ... I am sorry you were born, child. I have brought you a hero's fate, and a hero's fate is never happy."
- The Lightning Thief, pg. 346
A steely look of anger flared in my mother's eyes, and I thought, just maybe, I was leaving her in good hands after all. Her own.
-The Lightning Thief, pg. 353

4. There is nothing else important to say. It's music. It's an ep, so it's thankfully short. Enjoy. It was fun making. =D
Edit: Yes, it's child-safe.
01. "That's My Boy" by VAST
(Sally, Poseidon, Percy)
That’s my boy
American son
Hope I’m not around when he gets the idea to buy a gun
There’s our boy
America’s gone
Hope we’re not to blame when he gets the idea to kill someone
Have you ever really loved someone?
The land I have known in my youth
Yeah it’s gone and it’s never coming back
Where’s our saviour
Not looking for a sign
Just want something to clean
The blood from my numb and weary mind.

02. "Worry About You" by Ivy
(Sally, Percy)
Bye bye baby.
Don't be long.
I'll worry about you while you're gone.
I'll think of you in my dreams.
You'll never know just what you mean to me.

03. "Blue" by Eiffel 65
(Sally, Gabe, Percy)
There are no relevant lyrics =D Just though I should make an illusion to Sally and Percy's blue food in-joke.

04. "Sea People" by Emiliana Torrini
(Sally/Poseidon)
Can you ever see me as you did before
Can you ever see me like you did once more
When I look into your eyes
I can breathe in water
Like you
When you say goodbye
My lungs ache filled with water
'Cause I will always love you

05. "A Thousand Years" by Sting
(Sally/Poseidon)
I may be numberless, I may be innocent
I may know many things, I may be ignorant
Or I could ride with kings and conquer many lands
Or win this world at cards and let it slip my hands
I could be cannon food, destroyed a thousand times
Reborn as fortune's child to judge another's crimes
Or wear this pilgrim's cloak, or be a common thief
I've kept this single faith, I have but one belief
I still love you

06. "Psychobabble" by Frou Frou
(Sally/Gabe)
You couldn't be more wrong, darling
I never gave out these signs
You misunderstand all meaning
Snap out of it
I'm not falling for this one
If love is surrender
Then whose war is it anyway?
Do just what I tell you
And no one will get hurt
Don't come any closer
'Cause I don't know how long I can hold my heart in two
If you think that it's so damn easy
Then what do you need me for?
Just look at the state of you, babe
Snap out of it
You're not listening to this
And just for once could you
Let me finish a sentence?
Now, I've had it up to here
Don't ever try that again
Go on, have it
You're just dying to try me
If you know what's good for me
Why would I be leaving you?
