SPN Mix: Lover, You're a Soldier - Anna/Castiel
Title: Lover, You're a Soldier
Fandom: Supernatural
Subject: Anna/Castiel
Notes: Happy Easter! Here is a mix about tragic angels. I generally don't like Castiel, but I love Anna, and their scenes together always made me want to know more about angels (as opposed to my general reaction of apathy). I was also pretty sure they had a thing. Mix covers their relationship from Anna's doubt and fall, her time as a human, meeting Castiel and becoming an angel again, their relationship while Anna was on the run, and Castiel's betrayal of her as well as a little of him in season 6. If you squint. Feedback is good karma! Enjoy. <3
Stats: Mix contains a .zip of 13 songs, individual uploads of all songs, and front and back covers.
ONE || Papillon (Acoustic) - The Editors
Darling, just don't put down your guns yet
If there really was a God here
He'd have raised a hand by now
Now darling, you're born, get old and die here
Well that's quite enough for me,
We'll find our own way home somehow.
No sense of doubt, for what you could achieve,
I'd help you out, I've seen the life you wish to leave.
You will choke, choke on the air you try to breathe
TWO || Set the Tigers Free - Villagers
Farewell to my only friend
You've been so good to me
The spring was always early
And the winter never came
But since I got this hunger
It just hasn't been the same
I'm leaving for the great wide open plains
Leaving while this holy spark remains
I see your written promises to make me stay
But it really doesn't matter now anyway
I'm leaving
True love feeds on absences like pleasure feeds on pain
So no matter where I'm standing I still love you all the same
THREE || Fake Empire (Live) - The National
We're half awake in a fake empire
We're half awake in a fake empire
Let's not try to figure out everything at once
It's hard to keep track of you falling through the sky
FOUR || Kids (MGMT Cover) - Ben Lee
Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanted to be haunted
A baby is born
Crying out for attention
The memories fade
Like looking through a fogged mirror
Decision to decisions are made and not bought
But I thought this wouldn't hurt a lot
I guess not
FIVE || Phantom Limb - The Shins
And they could float above the grass
In circles if they tried
A latent power I know they hide
To keep some hope alive
So when they tap our Monday heads
To zombie-walk in our stead
This town seems hardly worth the time
And we'll no longer memorize or rhyme
Too far along in our climb
Stepping over what now towers to the sky
With no connection
SIX || Terrible Angels - Cocorosie
If every angel's terrible
Then why do you welcome them?
Oh, if every angel's terrible
Then why do you watch her sleep?
And boy don't she feel warm tonight
Boy don't she feel warm tonight
Boy don't she feel warm tonight
If every angel's terrible...
SEVEN || Crown of Love - Arcade Fire
They say it fades if you let it
Love was made to forget it
I carved your name across my eyelids
You pray for rain, I pray for blindness
If you still want me, please forgive me
The crown of love has fallen from me
If you still want me, please forgive me
Because the spark is not within me
The pains of love, and they keep growing
In my heart there's flowers growing
On the grave of our old love
EIGHT || Lover/Soldier - Washington
Lover, you're a soldier
You're a long, long way from home
I don't belong to you and you don't belong to me
But, I don't think we need to
'cause it's just so easy
So, I survive
I just try to get through and stay alive
You do the same, do the same
And if it's true what they say about love and hard work, well all right
Because maybe people in love are all on the same side when they fight
Everyone's raging and railing and screaming for war
But you haven't got anything that I would fight you for
We can take our chances because we knew it going in
There'd be lots of dancing but we'd never, ever play to win
NINE || There Is a Light - Great Lake Swimmers
There is a light in you,
I have fallen into,
Fallen into.
Put all your weapons away.
I won't fight you just to spite you.
And if love is a war,
I won't have any more.
If this is what we call a war,
I won't have it anymore
Stop, listen, feel.
Believe, believe.
Believe all your lives.
Believe in your lives.
TEN || Peppermint - Lovers
we're gonna be waiting for a long time,
but it'll be worth it when we find what we find.
and we won't be frightened and we won't be nervous.
it'll be perfect and right. we'll find God in our lover's arms.
we find God in our lover's arms.
we're gonna be healing for a long time,
but we won't be sleepless and we'll get better each night.
'cause we're not afraid of dying.
we're afraid of one day never to die.
you set your heart out in the graveyard.
go get your heart back from the great beyond.
we'll find God in our lover's arms.
we'll redefine God as something that we want.
redefine God as something you want.
ELEVEN || Icarus - White Hinterland
Cut past the grey and countless forms
Condemned to be killed or be conquered.
Slender as a carp you are
Your skin defiantly silver and so sure
As for me, I am not so sure
Though I can see clearly what's ahead of me
I cannot stop it once I'm set a-spinning
What can it mean, why must I always see
The ending at the beginning?
TWELVE || Detlef Schrempf - Band of Horses
When eyes can't look at you any other way,
Any other way, any other way
So take it as a song or a lesson to learn
And sometime soon be better than you were
If you say you're gonna go, then be careful
And watch how you treat every living soul
THIRTEEN || A Comet Appears - The Shins
Close your eyes to corral a virtue,
Is this fooling anyone else?
Never worked so long and hard,
To cement a failure,
Lost to the light and the loving we need,
Get the devils in line,
A list of things I could lay the blame on,
Might give me a way out,
But with each turn,
It's this front and center,
Like a dart stuck square in your eye,
Every post you can hitch your faith on,
Is a pie in the sky,
Chock full of lies
And still to come,
The worst part and you know it,
There is a numbness,
In your heart and it's growing.
