Playlist: Bring Me a Dream
Title: Playlist for Bring Me a Dream
Author: alycat (also on AO3)
Medium: YouTube (??? lol)
Notes: Inspired by the fic Bring Me a Dream by alycat, for which I created art (check that out here) as part of Round 1 of the quicky_bang challenge.
So! If you've already seen my art post for alycat's fic Bring Me a Dream, you know that I kind of had a ridiculous amount of fun creating art for this challenge. Given that the story is titled after the song Mr. Sandman (and also taking into account the fact that I am a very musically inclined person and everything reminds me of a song (and vice versa)), it's not surprising that I started associating music with this fic. One song led to another...and soon I had a list of seven songs put together and I just said to myself, "Screw it. I'm making a playlist, too." So, without further ado!
PLAYLIST for Bring Me a Dream: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLv9bcwVc5YKAC1SFqvZiUTOD1XzH_Zttg
*takes a moment to appreciate her pun in that cut*
Okay! So! The songs in the playlist are as follows.
1. Mr. Sandman - as performed by The Chordettes
The logical place to start, as this is the song behind the title for the fic.
2. Dream Lover - Bobby Darin
Disregarding the fact that the gender pronoun doesn't quite fit for Jensen and Jared, just check out these lyrics. Aren't they awesomely fitting?? *pictures young Jensen, uninterested in the boys at his school because he's been holding onto the image of his perfect man, aka Jared* *swoons*
3. Little Bitty Pretty One - as performed by Thurston Harris
This song is actually the reason for this playlist existing, as it was the first besides the titular song to make me think of the fic. Well, *technically* it's the Billy Gilman version we can blame, since that's the version I'm most familiar with, but I chose to add the 1957 version to the playlist instead because it better fit the 50's/60's theme.
4. Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow - The Shirelles
By the time I got to this song, I had started listening to a Google mix based off [one of the above songs, I don't remember which one exactly], so I'll have to credit that playlist for bringing me the rest of these tunes. This particular song made me think of two moments in the fic. One, right after Jensen and Jared's first kiss, when Jared disappears again and Jensen goes to sleep all sad; and two, after Jared comes back when Jensen is in bed, and they've just given each other lovely orgasms and Jensen asks, "Will it happen again?" The little flirt ;)
5. Lollipop - The Chordettes
When this song came on...I started having some *very* dirty thoughts. Which, at this point in the fic, after Jensen and Jared have...consummated (more or less) their relationship, is totally appropriate. Though it kind of forever tainted a hereunto-fore innocent song for me, lol. Anyhoo, I hope you enjoy the lyrics with this new, porny mindset ;) (Also, bonus apple pie, because, pie!)
6. All I Have to Do is Dream - Everly Brothers
Another song I'm attributing to Google, though the lyrics kind of make me think of this sort of as Zanna!Jared and Jensen's love song. "I'm dreamin' my life away..."
7. Mr. Sandman - as performed by Chet Atkins
To tie this list together, we finish with this neat guitar-only version of the titular song. I'm sorry, but after listening to this playlist, you'll probably have this tune stuck in your head for days. It's okay, I can take the blame XP
Well, that's it! I really hope you enjoyed the music, and the art, and the fic. I'm off to go start working on...some other project, lol. Thank you for reading!
