Mix: And Then the Bough Broke

[chasingtides]

Songs:
1. The Summer Before the War - Fairport Convention
We had some fun
There was time then and we all were young
Young hearts and young souls
Young minds to unfold
Knowing the untold somehow

2. The Battle of Evermore - Led Zeppelin
Queen of light took her bow
And then she turned to go,
The prince of peace embraced the gloom
And walked the night alone.
Oh, dance in the dark of night,
Sing to the morning light.
The dark lord rides in force tonight

3. Fire of Unknown Origin - Blue Oyster Cult
Death comes sweeping through the hallway, like a lady's dress
Death comes driving down the highway, in it's Sunday best
A fire of unknown origin took my baby away

4. Dark Skies - Havalina Rail Co
I never killed for pleasure; I never killed for fun
When they take a man's family its time to get the gun
Now I ride in the canyons and I sleep in the sun
They touch what you own and now they've got you on the run

5. Happiness Is a Warm Gun - The Beatles
The man in the crowd with the multicoloured mirrors
On his hobnail boots
Lying with his eyes while his hands are busy
Working overtime

6. On the Road Again - Canned Heat
Don't you cry no more.
'Cause it's soon one morning
Down the road I'm going.
But I aint going down that
long old lonesome road
All by myself.

7. God's Gonna Cut You Down - Johnny Cash
You can run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Sooner or later God'll cut you down

8. Outlaw Torn - Metallica
I ride the dirt; I ride the tide
For you
I search the outside search inside
For you
To take back what you left me
I know I'll always burn to be
The one seeks so I may find
And now I wait my whole lifetime

9. Bad Company - Bad Company
Deserters we are called
Chose a gun and threw away the sun
Now these towns
They all know our name 6-gun sound is our claim to fame
I can hear them say Bad company
And I won't deny

10. When the Levee Breaks - Led Zeppelin
Got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his home,
Oh, well, oh, well, oh, well.
Don't it make you feel bad
When you're tryin' to find your way home,
You don't know which way to go?

11. Strange Days - The Doors
Strange eyes fill strange rooms
Voices will signal their tired end
The hostess is grinning
Her guests sleep from sinning
Hear me talk of sin
And you know this is it

12. Turn the Page - Bob Seger
You can think about woman, or the girl you knew the night before,
But your thoughts will soon be wandering, the way they always do.
When your riding sixteen hours and there's nothing much to do
And you don't feel much like riding, you just wish the trip was through.

13. Dark Eyes - Iron & Wine & Calexico
They tell me to be discreet for all intended purposes,
They tell me revenge is sweet and from where they stand, I'm sure it is.
But I feel nothing for their game where beauty goes unrecognized,
All I feel is heat and flame and all I see are dark eyes.

14. Sympathy for the Devil - The Rolling Stones
I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the gods they made

15. Long Time - Boston
Well I'm takin' my time, I'm just movin' on
You'll forget about me after I've been gone
And I take what I find, I don't want no more
Its just outside of your front door

16. One Step Ahead of the Devil - Blue Oyster Cult
One step ahead of the devil one step
One step ahead of the man one step
You're one step ahead of evil
And you can only run as far as you can

This is the borderland where blues from the American South and traditional British folk meet hard rock and roll and metal. I can't help that Supernatural is such a musical show and John just doesn't get enough music. (This would have been posted a while ago, but I spent ages looking for a copy of Summer Before the War.) Please let me know if you're taking the mix or if you need me to upload individual files.

Also, keep your eyes open: unless the thunderstorms tonight drop our power and internet, I should be posting the recipe for a delicious super-cheap, low-fat ultra-rich chocolate-amaretto cheese cake.
