fanmix: heart divided (dean/castiel)

[ethia]

These two boys. I swear they have taken over my brain, and most recently my favorite playlists, too. Most of the tracks in this mix are acoustic versions, so this is rather quiet and calm. Some of these have been favorites of mine for years; others are fairly new, but all of them have inspired me in one way or another.

tracks:

01 My Brightest Diamond - Inside A Boy (acoustic)
inside a boy I found a universe
in his arms I’m unwinding
under his kiss I'm falling
into love

02 Thirteen Senses - The Salt Wound Routine
I'm all out of sync, I cover my cuts
and hope they are fixed before I get hurt again

03 Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Little Shadow (acoustic)
into the night will you follow me?

04 Abbie Gardner & Anthony da Costa - On My Knees (acoustic)
I don't care at all
so why am I shaking

05 Anna Ternheim - What Have I Done (acoustic)
all good things now come from you

06 Daphne - Losing My Religion (acoustic, REM cover)
trying to keep an eye on you

07 Hobotalk - In The Arms Of Love
in the arms of love again
touching souls with you my friend

08 Dawn Landes - I Won't Back Down (acoustic, Tom Petty cover)
and I'll keep this world from draggin' me down

09 Holly Throsby - A Heart Divided
where do you go
I want to go where you go when you're gone
I've longed all along but I cannot

10 Emily Jane White - Been So Long (acoustic)
you must call out to me
say my name and believe

11 Findlay Brown - I Had A Dream (acoustic)
I had a dream we blessed the sunlight together

12 Heartless Bastards - Searching For The Ghost (acoustic)
along the way we hit some bumps
got cuts and bruises on our hearts

13 The Maccabees - Precious Time (acoustic)
and turn this darkness into light

14 Karima Francis - Use Somebody (acoustic, Kings of Leon cover)
you know that I could use somebody
someone like you, and all you know, and how you speak

15 Laura Marling - Night Terror (acoustic)
I'd left him dreaming
I'll roll over and shake him tightly
and whisper "if they want you
oh they're gonna have to fight me"

16 The Hush Sound - Hurricane
you're standing in my doorway seven cities ago
the days are racing, but you come back too slow

17 The Magic Numbers - There Is A Light That Never Goes Out (acoustic, The Smiths cover)
to die by your side
well the pleasure, the privilege is mine

18 David Condos - I Should Be Lost Without You
I want to see in your heart
but I'll settle for the mystery

19 Sara Lov - My Body Is A Cage (acoustic, The Arcade Fire cover)
I'm living in an age that calls darkness light

20 The Weepies - Little Bird
open your window and look upon
all the kinds of alive you can be
be still, be light, believe me

21 Goo Goo Dolls - Iris (acoustic)
and I'd give up forever to touch you
cause I know that you feel me somehow
you're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be


Bonus Track: Greg Laswell - I'd Be Lying
won't you let me give you a hand
I have an extra I'm not using
won't you let me lighten your load
I mean after all your legs are shaking

It's a rainy, warm day outside and I'm going to put this on my ipod and have my soundtrack for the day. Thanks so much for making the effort and sharing. ♥ The cover art is really beautiful.

[ethia.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :) I hope you'll like the songs. They should go well with the slightly melancholy mood of a rainy afternoon.

[tru-faith-lost.livejournal.com]

Wow some of my favorite songs in versions I've never heard before. Thank you!

I've always considered the Tom Petty version of Won't Back Down to be my own personal theme song. I think I'm gonna love this.

[ethia.livejournal.com]

I'm a ho for (good) cover versions. I'd love to hear your opinion on the Tom Petty cover!

[obsidiandiamond.livejournal.com]

I saw the acoustic version of Iris on the tracklist and may have gone a bit wobbly! I'm downloading it now and looking forward to listening.

Thank you for posting it!

[ethia.livejournal.com]

I love Iris so much. It never occurred to me to look for the acoustic version until I started putting together this mix and thought that a more down-toned version would fit so much better. Hope you like it!

[misslucyjane]

This looks like a great collection! Can't wait to hear it.

[ethia.livejournal.com]

I really hope you'll enjoy this mix!

[iwrotethissong.livejournal.com]

Excited as HELL to hear that cover of Use Somebody.

[ethia.livejournal.com]

Hee! It's slow, and lo-fi, and pretty intense and I almost prefer it over the original. Almost.

[ran-cl.livejournal.com]

♥ Thank you so much the cover is lovely! I am loading the mix now :D ♥

[ethia.livejournal.com]

Thank you. ♥ I love spreading my favorite songs. :)

[kira-bouviea.livejournal.com]

I love acoustic songs so that's an automatic bonus for you. But what makes this all the better is that you chose some really lovely songs for this mix. I am definetly snagging this mix. Very well done.

[ethia.livejournal.com]

Same here. I'll almost always choose the acoustic version over the original. I sometimes feel that studio versions are too perfect, if you know what I mean. Enjoy the mix!

[gemtiger.livejournal.com]

JHSKJDHJKSD Acoustic versions. Thank you so much ♥

[ethia.livejournal.com]

Yay, acoustic love! :D I'll share that any day. Hope you'll enjoy the mix!

[starkdependant]

I'm going away for four days tomorrow and I came on looking for music and now I'm so glad I found this, taking, thank you :)

[ethia.livejournal.com]

You're very welcome. :) I hope you have a nice trip, and please enjoy the songs!

[cordeliadelayne]

Looks interesting. I'll be downloading :D

[ethia.livejournal.com]

Great! I hope you'll like it. :)

[pseudosky.livejournal.com]

Oh -- oh wow. This is perfect. I love so many of these songs; I was hooked when I saw number six. Thank you so much for this amazing fanmix!

[ethia.livejournal.com]

You're very welcome. I was hesitant about including Daphne's REM cover because a bit of her French accent comes through and while I don't mind at all I thought that some people might. But, it's just a great version, I couldn't not use it.

[melawen-c.livejournal.com]

Mmm, yes, the boys have taken over my mind too. :)
Oooh - I love love love Arcade Fire's My Body is a Cage... can't wait to hear this version!! The rest of the songs look great, too. *downloading now*

[ethia.livejournal.com]

I love your Cas icon! Such a beautiful expression. But then he has plenty of those. :)

So, what do you think about the Sara Lov version? Not that I'm curious. *g*

[ilovesn.livejournal.com]

LOVE IT :D

Thanks ;D

[ethia.livejournal.com]

You're welcome, and yay for the love! :D

[kalikahuntress.livejournal.com]

Acoustic songs with a dean/castiel mix is an automatic win in my book, thanks for this and I can't wait to hear it.:)

[ethia.livejournal.com]

Nothing beats acoustic, least not in my book. *g* Hope you enjoy the mix!

[eggblue.livejournal.com]

I'm checking this out! Acoustic is very good for Dean :)

Oh, and I'll try to come back later after I've listened to everything. I'm always curious what people think about individual songs too. It's cool to get feedback later.

Thanks!

[ethia.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I think so, too. But I kinda think that Dean would disagree. ;p

I'd love to hear back from you!

(Also: icon love! PowerPuff!Cas FTW :D)

[shamethebells.livejournal.com]

I'm not a Supernatural fan, so I'm not snagging, but I simply have to compliment you on the cover art. It's gorgeous!

May I ask what font you used for the tracklisting?

[ethia.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much. It took me a while but there were Dean and Cas to stare at so it wasn't exactly a bother. ;D

The font I used for the tracklisting is called Prophecy Script; you can get it from DaFont here (http://www.dafont.com/prophecy-script.font).

(edited because apparently I'm not so good with the spelling right after getting up)

[ilovesn.livejournal.com]

Took it :D

I love the Kings Of Leon cover.. awesome :D

[ethia.livejournal.com]

Yes, I think it's brilliant. I love the emotion and the quiet force in Karima's voice. :)

[iwrotethissong.livejournal.com]

thanks for uploading the zip, much appreciated

[ethia.livejournal.com]

No problem. :) I hope you'll enjoy the mix!

[echelon-002.livejournal.com]

Snagging--I need some good acoustic/instrumentals. :) And the cover art is pretty. Thankies!

[ethia.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I hope you'll like the songs!

[slipofsunshine.livejournal.com]

I love when I find mixes with tons of bands that I've never heard of<3

downloading - thanks! =)

[ethia.livejournal.com]

You're welcome. :) I thought it was a good idea to spread the love for some lesser known bands. I'm all for variety. :D Here's hoping you'll find something you like!

[i-speak-tongue.livejournal.com]

Re: Heartless Bastards. OMG. I've been listening to this song for like three weeks and thinking about the Winchesters! Ya! I'm not the only one.

Thanks for this awesome mix. It's rare I find fanmixes I actually want to listen to (ie not a buch of pop crap)

[ethia.livejournal.com]

YES! \o/ You're not alone. :D I really love this song and the way it fits right into the Supernatural 'verse.

I'm really glad you find this mix enjoyable! I love to discover new music, and it's so good to see that I'm not the only one.

[akari-yagami.livejournal.com]

I'm listening to it right now and I love it ♥ Beautiful, beautiful song choices (all the covers are pretty damn awesome), thank you for sharing!

[ethia.livejournal.com]

You're very welcome and I'm super pleased that you like the songs! :)

[theaino.livejournal.com]

Acoustic music = my life. Thank you!

[ethia.livejournal.com]

You're very welcome!

[etamne.livejournal.com]

This. Is. Amazing. I have several of these songs but have never heard the acoustic versions/cover. All of this = gorgeous. This mix is fantastic. Thank you for sharing!

[ethia.livejournal.com]

I'm so very pleased that you like this mix! Thanks a lot for letting me know. :)

[lafleurdumal-gs.livejournal.com]

I've been listenning to Night Terror non stop for the last couple of days, so I wanted to thank you for making me discover some truly amazing songs (that fit really perfectly Dean/Castiel by the way).

[ethia.livejournal.com]

I love this song so much! It has this magnificent build-up, and I get pulled in by the lyrics time and time again. Yay, Laura Marling! :D
