Keep the Car Running
Fandom: Supernatural
Subject: Sam Winchester
Title: Keep the Car Running
Warnings/Notes: General spoilers for the show, none for recent episodes. Made for the round #14 challenge at waywardmixes. The theme was Journeys.
Considering Sam is a Winchester, and so his life is just one tragedy after another, this mix could take place whenever. However, I imagine it to be set during the four months between season 3 and season 4 when his brother Dean made a deal with a demon in order to bring Sam back to life and was consequently sent to Hell. During this time Sam became addicted to demon blood, developed a relationship with a morally ambiguous demon named Ruby and was very, very lonely. He continued the family business, driving around the country in a '67 Chevy Impala and "Saving people; hunting things". This is the kind of music I imagine he listened to while on the road.
Supernatural has a very distinctive classic rock sound due to Dean's taste in music when he's driving the Impala. Sam refers to Dean's music as "The greatest hits of Mullet Rock". The only thing we know about Sam's taste in music is that it's probably a little more indie and hipster-ish (like himself) and that Dean doesn't like it. These songs are also a little melancholy and reflective, as the only way Sam would have control over the stereo would be if he was alone.
Blood Like Lemonade by Morcheeba
Healing holy man, once upon a time
He lived for his wife up until the crime
Hunting high and low to seek revenge
Brand new moral code, got made reluctant renegade
Leaving empty souls when he avenged
Evil spirits flowed
He drank the blood like lemonade
9 Crimes by Damien Rice
Leave me out with the waste
This is not what I do
It's the wrong kind of place
To be thinking of you
It's the wrong time
For somebody new
It's a small crime
And I've got no excuse
And is that alright? Yeah
Give my gun away when it's loaded
That alright? Yeah
If you don't shoot it how am I supposed to hold it?
That alright? Yeah
Give my gun away when it's loaded
That alright? Yeah, with you?
Have to Drive by Amanda Palmer
I have to drive
I have my reasons, dear
It's cold outside
I hate the seasons here
...
We suffer mornings most of all
We saw you lying in the road
We tried to dig a decent grave
But it's still no way to behave
...
We will save your brothers
We will save your cousins
We will drive them far away
From streets and lights
From all signs of bad mankind
...
(I'll meet you in an hour
At the car)
Running Up That Hill by Placebo
You don't want to hurt me
But see how deep the bullet lies
Unaware I'm tearing you asunder
Ooh, there is thunder in our hearts
Is there so much hate for the ones we love?
Tell me, we both matter, don't we?
You, it's you and me
It's you and me won't be unhappy
And if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get him to swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
Be running up that building
Say, if I only could
I Will Rise Up/Ain't No More Cane by Lyle Lovett
And I will rise up (and I will rise up)
Though I be a dead man (I said, yes and amen)
And I will stand tall (and I will stand tall)
Until I meet my end (until I meet my end)
This Year by The Mountain Goats
I broke free on a Saturday morning
I put the pedal to the floor
Headed north on Mills Avenue
And listened to the engine roar
I am going to make it through this year if it kills me
I am going to make it through this year if it kills me
Keep the Car Running by Arcade Fire
There's this fear I keep so deep
Knew its name since before I could speak
They know my name because I told it to them
But they don't know where and they don't know when
It's coming or when
But it's coming
Keep the car running
I Will Follow You Into The Dark by Death Cab for Cutie
If Heaven and Hell decide that they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you when your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
