[fanmix] Terrified

[For [livejournal.com profile] failuretotrust.]





1. Bridge Over Troubled Water ~ Rockapella
When you're weary
Feeling small
When tears are in your eyes
I will dry them all

I'm on your side
When times get rough
And friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

Dean leans on Beth. A lot. A lot more than he probably should. No matter how much he tries to push her away, she never listens, which is great for him, potentially bad for her. Regardless, though, she’s there for him in a way that most people aren’t, and that’s one of the things he loves about her. And he misses her. A lot.

2. Jump ~ Glee Cast
I get up, and nothing gets me down.
You got it tough. I've seen the toughest soul around.
And I know, baby, just how you feel.
You've got to roll with the punches to get to what's real
Oh can't you see me standing here,
I've got my back against the record machine
I ain't the worst that you've seen.
Oh can't you see what I mean ?

This song reminds me of their first meeting. Even if their first meeting didn’t go quite as well as this song did, it was still this idea of two people who had a rough time in professions where they couldn’t trust a lot of people finding each other in the middle of nowhere. And then Dean had to ruin it all and die.

3. Beth ~ KISS
You say you feel so empty
That our house just ain't our home
I'm always somewhere else
And you're always there alone

Just a few more hours
And I'll be right home to you
I think I hear them calling
Oh Beth what can I do
Beth what can I do

This was going to originally be the title track of the mix, but I changed it up to something a little more appropriate. Beth was the alias that she first gave Dean, back when they first met, and he’s probably the only person who still calls her it. And this song just felt so much like Dean giving her another lame excuse when coming home for a hunting trip, and it made me smile.

4. Don’t Worry Baby ~ Beach Boys
Well its been building up inside of me
For oh I don't know how long
I don't know why
But I keep thinking
Something's bound to go wrong

But she looks in my eyes
And makes me realize
And she says "Don't worry baby"
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
Everything will turn out alright

Beth keeps him grounded. So so incredibly grounded. She’s the one who tells him that he can do things, even when he feels like he can’t and has dropped himself into the endless pit of despair that is Dean Winchester angst. She can actually pull him out of it. Not many people can.

5. Long as I Can See the Light ~ Creedence Clearwater Revival
Put a candle in the window, but I feel I've got to move.
Though I'm going, going, I'll be coming home soon,
'Long as I can see the light.

Pack my bag and let's get movin', 'cause I'm bound to drift a while.
Well I'm gone, gone, you don't have to worry no,
'Long as I can see the light.

Dean always has to hit the road and so does she, but this song is about how they manage to find their way back around to each other again. She gives him something to call “home,” and Dean’s never had that. Ever. Which makes it kind of a big deal.

6. Rock and Roll Never Forgets ~ Bob Seger
So you’re a little bit older and a lot less bolder
Than you used to be
So you used to shake em down
But now you stop and think about your dignity
So now sweet 16’s turned 31
You get to feeling weary when the work days done
Well all you got to do is get up and into your kicks
If you’re in a fix
Come back baby
Rock and roll never forgets

Dean almost resents that I made him put this song on the mix, because it makes him feel old. However, this song is about how no matter how many times they fight, bicker, argue, or do each other bodily harm, he’ll always take her back. And it for more reasons than the fact that she’s just ridiculously hot.

7. Connect the Dots ~ The Spill Canvas
If your muscles are wound up and tight,
Then I will loosen up the knots until it feels right.
If your ears just ache from listening,
Then I'll supply the remedy in the melodies I sing.

Don't you just love the feeling of my fingertips,
Circling your lips.
Don't you just love the desire taking hold of you,
Well I can tell you do.
I know all your favorite spots,
And tonight we will connect the dots.

Sappy sexy love song? Check. Dean would love to just spend long weekends in bed with her when he has the chance, just getting to know each other better on a much more intimate later. (This is his way of saying he misses you, Beth. :P)

8. Terrified ~ Katharine McPhee
You by the light is the greatest find
In a world full wrong you're the thing that's right
Finally made it through the lonely to the other side

You said it again, my heart's in motion
Every word feels like a shooting star
I'm at the edge of my emotions

Watching the shadows burning in the dark
And I'm in love and I'm terrified
For the first time in the last time in my only life

And the actual title track. Dean has never been in love before. Canon seems to be hammering us over the head with it lately, but he loves Beth. He loves Beth in a way that absolutely terrifies him, but instead of running from it, he’s sticking it out. Which makes me both proud and worried about what he would do if something serious were to ever happen to her.

9. Over-Rated ~ Gavin DeGraw
I just want to give it all to you
I want to share this with you
Make you mine and mine will be all yours
Whatever you want and more
What I'm anticipating
Everything else will be over-rated
Baby, it's for you, it's all for you

Another sappy love song. But this song is about how Dean has never really been a possessions kind of guy, but he wants to give her whatever she wants, if it was in his power to do so, and he feels like maybe he could fill whatever void she was feeling when they first met.

***

10. Over the Hills and Far Away ~ Led Zeppelin
Hey lady--you got the love I need
Maybe more than enough.
Oh Darling... walk a while with me
You've got so much...

Many have I loved - Many times been bitten
Many times I've gazed along the open road.

Many times I've lied - Many times I've listened
Many times I've wondered how much there is to know.

Required Zeppelin song. If Dean were ever to propose to someone to a song, this would be it. I’m not sure why, exactly, but this is his way of saying “I’ve seen a whole hell of a lot, but I want to show you too.” Which really, is sweet in a Dean kind of way.

(And sadly her limited iconage has no Dean)

Awwwwwwwwwww I love it. Really really love it. And she's going to turn into a puddle when she listens to it.

She's amused that he took every track for himself.

(Booooooooo.)

All the ones that she would have picked were taken by other mixes. And he says that if she doesn't think he did a good job then she can do one herself.

(I know, right? Evil LJ)

She rolls her eyes and says that's a terrible excuse. And she says she just might.

And she picked up your ever so subtle hint of missing her, Dean.

(Mmmm-hmmmmm.)

Dean grins. And points out that he's absolutely never subtle.

She rolls her eyes.
