Supernatural Fanmixes: All Fast and Free, Travelling Woman, The Shadow of Your Heart; BCJ
Titles: All Fast and Free / Travelling Woman / The Shadow of Your Heart
Subjects: Ben Braeden / Claire Novak / Jesse Turner
Summary: First of all, this is my 75th mix (and 76th, and 77th) so *g*
Second of all, the first time I ever posted a real draft of these mixes was November 4th, 2010 so RIGHT NOW I AM FEELING PRETTY SATISFIED?
These are three mixes (ten songs each) for Supernatural next gen babies Claire, Ben, and Jesse, and their ~adventures.
Many thank you's and loves to my second self coyotesuspect for helping me with these mixes and writing such lovely things to inspire them <3
As mentioned, I've been thinking about these guys since 2010 and they are very dear to me. I started Claire first - I found her really interesting and lovely and coyotesuspect as well as several other fandom-goers wrote pretty fics about her and inspired me to start working on a mix, and several times I got close to posting it but it never happened.
Because she always steals my ideas, in July 2010 Coyote signed up for polybigbang with the intent to write a B/J/C fic. I signed up to be her artist. (Obviously this never came to fruition.) She posted her rough draft for me and that's actually where a lot of the ideas, themes, and characterization for BJC comes from for these mixes. She particularly insisted on the red, yellow, and blue color scheme, and bullied me into putting I'll Believe in Anything on the Ben mix (which I am now pretty fond of).
While these mixes were somewhat made for her fic, I think they can definitely stand alone in terms of how I personally see the characters and I hope anyone enjoys them regardless of the lack of written story before them. Sometimes that is what is fun about mixes, y/y?
I was going to post these individually, but it wouldn't have felt right. These three are very much a trio to me, just as much as Sam and Dean are duo, and I made these mixes together so I decided to keep them together :P CANNOT SEPARATE MY BABBIES
This isn't a shippy mix and I don't want to make it for anyone, but oh god they are my OT3, I cannot ship any of them by themselves. OT3!!!!!!!!~*~*~*~*~*~*~
as a bonus for everyone, I will point out that one of the tags on the draft's post is "castiel sux0rs", because I fucking love that tag so much.
Paul Wesley used for Ben Braeden (Coyote & I could not agree on who to use [I had been loosely using Ian Somerhalder for w/e reason, she liked Chris Pine, and casting Ben just doesn't happen well for me] so we compromised on Paul who is precious), Evan Rachel Wood for Claire Novak [though I always see her more as Dianna Agron? I don't want to talk about it), and Ben Barnes as Jesse Turner (this is perfect and I don't feel bad about it~).
Okay! That's all! I'm not going to post my feels because it's YOUR feels that matter while listening to the mixes. I'm sure our intents will cross at some point, okay? Just enjoy because this is a huge thing for me and I am sew proud of myself for finally posting this lol :,)
Notes: Fanmixes include front and back covers and a .zip file of each compiled mix. Enjoy! :)
all fast and free.
One. Vagabond - Wolfmother
this is a song about innocence lost
oh, girl, I don't know all the reasons why I found the answer looking in your eye
I go out walking all day long, take away this lonely man, soon he will be gone
'cause I'll tell you everything about living free, yes, I can see you girl, can you see me?
Two. Mykonos - Fleet Foxes
and you will got mykonos with a vision of a gentle coast
and a sun to maybe dissipate shadows of the mess you made
brother, you don't need to turn me away
I was waiting down at the ancient gate
you go wherever you go today, you go today
when out walking, brother, don't you forget
it ain't often that you'll ever find a friend
you go wherever you go today, you go today
Three. Grown Ocean - Fleet Foxes
you would come to me then without answers
lick my wounds and remove my demands for now
eucalyptus and orange trees are blooming
in that dream there's no darkness alluded
I know someday the smoke will all burn off
all these voices I'll someday have turned off
I will see you someday when I've woken
I'll be so happy just to have spoken
I'll have so much to tell you about it
in that dream I could hardly contain it
all my life I will wait to attain it
there, there, there
Four. Countdown (Sick for the Big Sun) - Phoenix
it doesn't matter what you did and if you did it like you been told
true and everlasting, that's what you want
we're sick, sick, sick, sick, sick, sick, sick, sick, sick, sick, sick
we're sick for the big sun
it doesn't matter what you did and if you did it right, let's go
true and everlasting, it didn't last that long
we're the lonesome, we're the lonesome yell
Five. Fader - The Temper Trap
I'm in transit, floating stranded on this boat
and I pledge my self allegiance to a better night sleep at home
and the sweet, sweet sun's coming down hard
the sun's coming down hard, it burns the bones
so hold a hand for cover, hold a hand for cover from harm
bless this mess, we tried our best, that's all that we can do
while the angels walk with the lonely ones in the cold rain to rescue you
and this fable world's coming down hard
the wall's coming down hard on all our homes
so hold a hand for cover, hold a hand for cover from harm
Six. Four Winds - Bright Eyes
a heart just can't contain all of that empty space
it breaks, it breaks, it breaks
Seven. I'll Believe in Anything - Wolf Parade
we've both been very brave, walk around with both legs
wait for the scary day, we both pull the tricks out of our sleeves
but I'll believe in anything, and you'll believe in anything
so give me your eyes, I need sunshine
you blood, your bones, your voice and your ghost
Eight. Bones - Editors
in the end all you can hope for
is the love you felt to equal the pain you've gone through
are your eyes showing off for mine?
your face in my hands is everything that I need
bones, starved of flesh, surround your aching heart full of love
Nine. I've Got Your Number - Passion Pit
I've always felt so scared of all this needing
everyone that I've met has been somewhat mistreated
that's how it feels when you know that something's wrong
then you came along like a swan off of the lake
you flew across my eyes and out into space
and I ran and I crawled and I chased to get out, fast, that's what I did
and if all else fails then the ship won't set sail
god forbid, but I guess the both of us will bail
but as far as I can tell, I think things will be swell
I'll make it seem like I'm stronger but I'm quite the actor
and now I'm so caught up and I can't escape this pattern
but when I started losing hope, there you were, there you bloomed
Ten. Blood Red Blood - Voxtrot
lonely boy, where do we go?
I'm stuck believing on the other side, stuck on my own
run fast, you're dreaming with no place to hide
picture me, how will you picture me when I am dead?
all fast and free, building a fantasy with blocks in my head
a legacy, do these things dissipate in the years unread?
I've got a pain just like a knife and the time has left me
oh, I'm just trying to do my best, I'm not afraid of life I'm afraid of death
build my love in the things I say, you've gotta lift your face to the breaking day
travelling woman.
One. Chicago (Acoustic) - Sufjan Stevens
I was in love with the place in my mind, in my mind
I made a lot of mistakes in my mind, in my mind
you came to take us, all things go, all things go
to recreate us, all things grow, all things grow
we had our mindset, all things know, all things know
you had to find it, all things go, all things go
Two. Neverending Math Equation - Sun Kil Moon
I'm the same as I was when I was six years old
and oh my god I feel so damn old, I don't really feel anything
on a plane, I can see the tiny lights below
oh my god, they look so alone, do they really feel anything?
oh my god, I've gotta gotta gotta gotta move on
where do you move when what you're moving from is yourself?
the universe works on a math equation that never even ever really even ends in the end
infinity spirals out creation, we're on the tip of its tongue and it's saying
we ain't sure where you stand, you ain't machines and you ain't land
oh my god and oh my cat, I told my dad what I need
well, he said he said he said he said, where we're going, I'm dead
Three. White As Diamonds (Live) - Alela Diane
I've known mornings white as diamonds, silent from a night so cold
such a stillness, calm as the owl glides, our lives are buried in snow
I was shifting through the piles, in my hand a tangled thread
each patient tug upon the snarl is a glimpse of what has been
and some hearts are ghosts settling down in the dark waters
just as silt grows heavy and drowns with the stone
Four. Gigantomachy - Cake Bake Betty
speaking in tongues, you've got gin in your belly, yes, something was wrong from the start
with eyes wide and dark you have something to tell me, I carry your bones in my heart
riding on horseback he came, darkness in his fingertips, eyes just the same
told me there was no one to blame, I was all the while clenching the omen you gave to me
rise with the sun and the skies are wide amber, I dreamt of your calling again
you told me to run from temptations of grandeur that come with the visions of him
Five. Rowboat - Emily Haines & The Soft Skeleton
I've been told I'm living a lie
I've been taught all my life
getting it wrong almost every time
where else, where else am I?
Six. Travelling Woman - Bat for Lashes
hang on, travelling woman, don't sacrifice your plan
'cause it will come back to you before you lose it on the man
never fall in love with potential cause you can't see with your own eyes
all the pretty faces and sorry words can take away your pride
got to listen to the vision, some may say a dream, words from the unseen
or it can make you tired, tell you lies and make you fall
Seven. Blinding - Florence + The Machine
seems that I have been held in some dreaming state
a tourist in the waking world, never quite awake
no kiss, no gentle word could wake me from this slumber
until I realized that it was you who held me under
felt it in my fist, in my feet, in the hollows of my eyelids
shaking through my skull, through my spine and down through my ribs
and I could hear the thunder and see the lightning crack
all around the world was waking, I never could go back
'cause all the walls of dreaming, they were torn right open
and finally it seemed that the spell was broken
and all my bones began to shake, my eyes flew open
no more dreaming of the dead as if death itself was undone
no more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love with the wrong world
Eight. Forever After Days (Demo) - The National
on my feet I stand tonight, stand and step up to the light
an extraordinary man unbroken in a breaking land
forever after days, stand and make myself a crown
to the table I step along, hold my own above the ground
take my shot under the light, heroes come a common way
pull myself into the sky, wrap me in the banner I made
Nine. Cape Canaveral - Sara Lov
oh, oh, oh brother totem pole, I saw your legends lined up and I never felt more natural
apart, I just came apart
please, please, please sister socrates, you always answer with a question, show some kindness to a petty thief
forgive, you did forgive
and watch the migrants smoke in the old orange grove and the red rocket blaze over cape canaveral
you've been a father to me in 1960's speak, give me comatose joy like re-run tv
while the mountainside was shining wild colors of my destiny
I watched your face age backwards, changing shape in my memory
you told me victory's sweet, even deep in the cheap seats
like the citrus glow off the old orange grove or the red rocket blaze over cape canaveral
it's been a nightmare for me, some 1980's grief, gives me parachute dreams like old war movies
while the universe was drawing perfect circles for infinity
I watched the stars get smaller, tiny diamonds in my memory
I know that victory's sweet even deep in the cheap seats
Ten. Chicago - Sufjan Stevens
I fell in love again, all things go, all things go
drove to chicago, all things know, all things know
you came to take us, all things go, all things go
to recreate us, all things grow, all things grow
we had our mindset, all things know, all things know
you had to find it, all things go, all things go
the shadow of your heart.
One. Tonight - TV on the Radio
my mind is like an orchard clustered in frozen portraits
of blossoms that bloomed so fine, just to drop from the vine
I've seen 'em all tonight
kindly reverse the order of the options you've laid before you
the needle, the dirty spoon, the flames and the fumes
just throw them out tonight
the time that you've been afforded may go unsung unrewarded
some nameless you cannot know may be coming to show you unbridled love and light
Two. My Body Is a Cage - Arcade Fire
I'm living in an age that calls darkness light
though my language is dead, still the shapes fill my head
my body is a cage, we take what we're given
just because you've forgotten doesn't mean you're forgiven
Three. Repetition - TV on the Radio
born into capital lifestyle heights, got a head full of fever and it feels all right
but I can't stop thinking how it's all gone wrong and the cracks will be obvious before too long
I've abused my position and it cost my friends and if the world keeps turning I could do it again
and the time on your hands is a walk in the park, if it don't, then I hope you can see in the dark
hail mary, watch your life unfold, I'm a man on a mission or so I've been told
Four. Eyes As Candles - Passion Pit
my world is stirring sickly, spits out our voices singing
here in the void in your place I twitch and tweak an illusion
to sit and stare so blankly until our hope is used up
why do I always seem to need you when you're fleeing?
where do you go when I'm around? what have I done?
what have I lost that's so defeating?
and have the nerve to wear a crown?
some unguarded room, a smoky figure fills me full, makes my head swell and ruin
I've waited and waited for someone to take it
don't fight it, don't bother, an inch for another
I've learned well, now hear me, there's much to be fearing
I'm used to your absence, your faceless distraction
now I've been leaning towards a life far more candid
though led through the dark with your eyes as my candles
Five. Seven Devils - Florence + The Machine
now all your love will be exorcised
and we will find your sayings to be a paradox
and it's an even sum, it's a melody, it's a final cry, it's a symphony
for what has been done cannot be undone, in the evil's heart, in the evil's soul
Six. Family Tree - TV on the Radio
under my love, wake up to your window, the days calls in billows
it's echoing moonlight onto the blue nightmare of your heart
in cosy red rainbow, it's shaking off halos and the memory of our sacred so and so's
we're laying in the shadow of your family tree, your haunted heart and me
brought down by an old idea whose time has come
and in the shadow of the gallows of your family tree
there's a hundred hearts, or three
pumping blood to the roots of evil to keep them young
Seven. Cosmic Love (Unplugged) - Florence + The Machine
the stars, the moon, they have all been blown out, you left me in the dark
no dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight in the shadow of your heart
and in the dark I can hear your heartbeat, I tried to find the sound
but then it stopped and I was in the darkness, so darkness I became
I took the stars from my eyes and then I made a map
and knew that somehow I could find my way back
then I heard your heart beating, you were in the darkness, too
so I stayed in the darkness with you
Eight. Frozen Oceans - Shiny Toy Guns
I still dream, but what should I believe
frozen shapes to bend, impossible sets in, lost again, still alone
ten thousand miles apart, a frozen ocean joins our hearts
I can't wait to meet you when the frozen waves meet ocean floors
you'll be standing on the shore, I can't wait to meet you then
Nine. Skeletons - Yeah Yeah Yeahs
love, my name, love, left dry
frost or flame, skeleton me, fall asleep, spin the sky
skeleton me, love, don't cry, soon comes rain
Ten. Circle Song - Bat for Lashes
french → english translation
so, I have the story of a strong girl, a girl who struggles with love
and I have a little story about a boy with a free spirit, this is my brother, a pioneer
he said, you are everything and everything is yours
together they repair my broken heart, singing circle songs
together they are my family

This isn't a shippy mix and I don't want to make it for anyone, but oh god they are my OT3, I cannot ship any of them by themselves. OT3!!!!!!!!~*~*~*~*~*~*~
as a bonus for everyone, I will point out that one of the tags on the draft's post is "castiel sux0rs", because I fucking love that tag so much.
Paul Wesley used for Ben Braeden (Coyote & I could not agree on who to use [I had been loosely using Ian Somerhalder for w/e reason, she liked Chris Pine, and casting Ben just doesn't happen well for me] so we compromised on Paul who is precious), Evan Rachel Wood for Claire Novak [though I always see her more as Dianna Agron?

here in the void in your place I twitch and tweak an illusion
to sit and stare so blankly until our hope is used up
why do I always seem to need you when you're fleeing?
where do you go when I'm around? what have I done?
what have I lost that's so defeating?
and have the nerve to wear a crown?
some unguarded room, a smoky figure fills me full, makes my head swell and ruin
I've waited and waited for someone to take it
don't fight it, don't bother, an inch for another
I've learned well, now hear me, there's much to be fearing
I'm used to your absence, your faceless distraction
now I've been leaning towards a life far more candid
though led through the dark with your eyes as my candles
Five. Seven Devils - Florence + The Machine
now all your love will be exorcised
and we will find your sayings to be a paradox
and it's an even sum, it's a melody, it's a final cry, it's a symphony
for what has been done cannot be undone, in the evil's heart, in the evil's soul
Six. Family Tree - TV on the Radio
under my love, wake up to your window, the days calls in billows
it's echoing moonlight onto the blue nightmare of your heart
in cosy red rainbow, it's shaking off halos and the memory of our sacred so and so's
we're laying in the shadow of your family tree, your haunted heart and me
brought down by an old idea whose time has come
and in the shadow of the gallows of your family tree
there's a hundred hearts, or three
pumping blood to the roots of evil to keep them young
Seven. Cosmic Love (Unplugged) - Florence + The Machine
the stars, the moon, they have all been blown out, you left me in the dark
no dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight in the shadow of your heart
and in the dark I can hear your heartbeat, I tried to find the sound
but then it stopped and I was in the darkness, so darkness I became
I took the stars from my eyes and then I made a map
and knew that somehow I could find my way back
then I heard your heart beating, you were in the darkness, too
so I stayed in the darkness with you
Eight. Frozen Oceans - Shiny Toy Guns
I still dream, but what should I believe
frozen shapes to bend, impossible sets in, lost again, still alone
ten thousand miles apart, a frozen ocean joins our hearts
I can't wait to meet you when the frozen waves meet ocean floors
you'll be standing on the shore, I can't wait to meet you then
Nine. Skeletons - Yeah Yeah Yeahs
love, my name, love, left dry
frost or flame, skeleton me, fall asleep, spin the sky
skeleton me, love, don't cry, soon comes rain
Ten. Circle Song - Bat for Lashes
french → english translation
so, I have the story of a strong girl, a girl who struggles with love
and I have a little story about a boy with a free spirit, this is my brother, a pioneer
he said, you are everything and everything is yours
together they repair my broken heart, singing circle songs
together they are my family
