A/N: What happens when you spend too much time looking at this photo of Jensen, and this photo of Jared, watching Jensen in Different Town, and listening to Different Town, on repeat? Well, in my case... this. Which makes no sense at all.
Title from Steve Carlson

Whenever I see you've posted a new fic, I know I'm gonna end up feeling gloomy and kinda depressed once I finish reading it. But I read them anyway, because it's always so good :-)

But damn, I am feeling depressed now... And not just because of this fic, but also because of the idea of Jensen being all alone in his Vancouver apartment - the thought bothers me much more than it probably should. At least I guess it's better now than last fall, when he said he really wasn't doing so well because the heaviness of Dean's storyline was getting to him too much...

[jojothecr]

I'm sorry... But I'm sure I write positive things, too, sometimes. No? Like, once in a while....? *g*

Thank you! :)

IKR? It's breaking my heart. And that photo, next to Jared and Gen? That just killed me. I don't know, maybe it's not like that, maybe Danni and JJ are there more often than we know, maybe Jensen is used to it and it doesn't hurt him as much as we think. I hope it's a lot better than I currently think.

[hunenka]

Don't apologize, I love your stories :-)

I do believe that the whole Jensen-alone-in-Vancouver situation is much better than we think it is, but then there are those things like that photo, or Jensen at that one TCA interview talking about spending his birthday at Brad Creasser's house because otherwise he'd be alone... But no. I'm not gonna think about that. I'm gonna think about Jensen in Texas with Danneel and JJ and with the Padaleckis, being all happy and angst-free and together. Yeah. That's what I'm gonna do :-)

(I creep myself out sometimes when I realize how much I think about certain people who I'll never even meet...)

[jojothecr]

TY. :)

spending his birthday at Brad Creasser's house
Yeah, that part made me cry. How can that even happen?! How can Jared let it happen? Wasn't he there?

It's just not right. And I'd totally volunteer to keep him company. It would be totally innocent, too. You know, movies, guitar, long walks through Vancouver...

(Don't worry, you're not alone. It's scary how much I care about them, how much these two mean to me.)

Oh man...*sighs heavily* I hope it's not that bad...this is done so well, just a little thing but so very evocative.

[jojothecr]

Me too. :(

Thank you! :)

[jennygeee]

This was so beautifully written and so sad....I love it :D

[jojothecr]

I'm glad you do. Thank you! :)

[paperbackwriter]

I love the melancholy feel of this, the together but not together thing.
It really beautiful, Hun : ) x

[jojothecr]

I'm glad you feel the melancholy I tried to put in, and that you like it.

Thank you! :)

I really love that song. I think it's the one I've listened to most times of the whole album. And it fits, somehow. Rome totally is their "different town".

After reading that fic, I have a knot in my stomach. You really write those "we want to, but can't" situations so beautifully.

[jojothecr]

I must admit that this is the only song I actually know from that album. But the more I like it. I still wish I knew which words are Jensen's.

Thank you! :)

[lady_eilthana]

I especially like the "boulevardier" line. But the whole song is just great. :)
Steve actually talked about song writing a little bit at JIB4 and said that Jensen was great at it and should do it more often.

[jojothecr]

Oh, me too, I love how he sings it, how it... curls. I don't know what it is, but the song is kind of achy, it really gives you the feeling of distance, of being somewhere where you don't know it, where people don't know you, maybe it's the video with Jensen and Steve walking through Rome... It just makes my heart kind of clench.

Yeah? I need to find some video of that.
