Our Better Nature Soundtrack (DOWNLOAD) - POSSIBLE SPOILERS FOR THE FIC

The soundtrack traces Sam's journey through the story and his reaction to finding out about Dean's deal with the crossroads demon. Tracks 1-4 are Sam's initial reaction - disbelief, anger, disapproval. Track 5-7 are about Dean and how he feels about the whole situation. How he did what he needed to do and has essentially made his peace with it. Tracks 8-11 are then Sam's realization of what he must do and the potential of what he might become as he makes the journey to save Dean from hell. Then the bonus track is the song used in the trailer. Enjoy!

1) Running Up That Hill – Placebo
And if I only could
Make a deal with God
And get him to swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill

2) Hide & Seek – Imogen Heap
What you say?
That you only meant well. Well, of course you did.
What you say?
That it's all for the best? Of course it is.

3) Feel – Matchbox Twenty
And now you crossed that line
You can't come back
Tell me how does it feel now
It's too late too much to forget about
Can't stop now
How does it feel now

4) Breath – Breaking Benjamin
So sacrifice yourself, and let me have what's left
I know that I can find the fire in your eyes
I'm going all the way, get away, please.

5) Wanted Dead or Alive – Bon Jovi
I walk these streets, a loaded six string on my back
I play for keeps, 'cause I might not make it back
I've been everywhere, and I'm standing tall
I've seen a million faces and I've rocked them all

6) Leave Out All The Rest – Linkin Park
When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed
And don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest

7) Welcome to the Black Parade – My Chemical Romance
He said "Will you defeat them
your demons, and all the non-believers
the plans that they have made?"
Because one day I'll leave you
A phantom to lead you in the summer
To join The Black Parade.

8) Ordinary – Train
And when the world is on its knees with me it's fine
And when I come to the rescue I do it for you time after time
Everybody seems to be getting what they need where's mine
‘Cause you're what I need so very but I'm anything but ordinary

9) Save You – Pearl Jam
Gonna save you fucker
Not gonna lose you
Feeling cocky and strong
Can't let you go
Too important to me

10) Animal I Have Become – Three Days Grace
So what if you can see the darkest side of me?
No one will ever change this animal I have become
Help me believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal

11) 45 – Shinedown
And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45
I'm swimming through the ashes of another life
There's no real reason to accept the way things have changed
Staring down the barrel of a 45

BONUS Prodigal Son - MBV Soundtrack

I wanna see the pretty vid...but it won't play? I dunno...gonna go to the other link and see if it'll play there.

Everything else looks awesome and I'm marking the master post to take a look at later.

I spent all of yesterday reading and didn't do ANY writing so I kinda need to work today.

[switch842.livejournal.com]

I still had the video set to private. Oops. All fixed now. :-)

I have so many Big Bang fics bookmarked to read through it's going to take a long time before I'm done!

[shanachie-quill.livejournal.com]

I watched...it's pretty awesome. I liked...no clue what's going on.

Well, I can't read because I'll be completely lost! I'm only in Season TWO! Episode 8 to be exact. I need to start watching again. I got slowed up by company and some other stuff.

[switch842.livejournal.com]

Thanks! You should definitely get back to watching! It's an awesome show. You'll love it! :-)

[shanachie-quill.livejournal.com]

I want/wanted to...it's not for lack of wanting that I haven't gotten back...anyway...I just watched episodes 8 and 9...Dean is killing me here...and I'm gonna start on 10 in a moment...then I've got 11 loaded, but I shall have to load more before I start 11...

[lady-eilthana.livejournal.com]

THE SOUNDTRACK. A perfect choice!

But somehow the video doesn't load and I can't see it...

[switch842.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much!

The video issue should be all fixed now. :-)

[lady-eilthana.livejournal.com]

I still can't see it. =(

[switch842.livejournal.com]

Hmm. Interesting. I added a link to the video directly on BAM. Maybe try that?

[lady-eilthana.livejournal.com]

The embedded vid is working now. That's strange.
But the direct link leads to a page where a password is needed.
Anyway, it's okay now. :)

[switch842.livejournal.com]

Oh, good. Glad to hear it's working for you now. :-)

[lady-eilthana.livejournal.com]

And I like it very much. You used some of my favourite scenes. :)
I actually want to read the story now. *mems*

[switch842.livejournal.com]

Excellent! That's just what the trailer is supposed to do. :-)

[surevesta.livejournal.com]

Could you include a direct link to BAM? The embedded player isn't working...

I love the Headers and icons!

edit: the vid was fixed... ima go watch now! :)

[switch842.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I forgot to change the settings from when I uploaded it a few weeks ago. But a direct link is there now, too. :-)

Thanks! I had a lot of good inspiration in the story for the art. :-)

[daniel-shadow.livejournal.com]

Yay you posted!! You know how much I love the vid the first time I watched it and I love it even more know. Same goes for the soundtracks and artworks!! Great job!!

[switch842.livejournal.com]

I POSTED!! LOL So glad this is all over and done with. :-)

Thanks! :-D

[wraith816.livejournal.com]

YOU POSTED. \o/

The vid is totally awesome and the art looks great and yay you!

[switch842.livejournal.com]

I POSTED!! :-D

Thanks so much, hon! I'm very glad you like everything. :-)

[slash-solace.livejournal.com]

This is excellent artwork. I think the headers are very beautiful. The video turned out amazing.

[switch842.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much!

[smilla02.livejournal.com]

I already saw the banner over at desertport, and they're beutiful. But the video is TRULY amazing and it's a beautiful introduction to Port's story. I really loved how you edited it, especially the middle-to-the-end part, where the music higlights Sam's desperation. Love the use of the black and white, too.

And I'm taking the soundtrack because you have some of my favs artist in here. Great job!

[switch842.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much! I must admit I was rather nervous about the video as I've never done anything quite like that before. I'm very glad to hear it works for you.

I had a lot of fun putting the soundtrack together, too! :-D

[desertport]

Hey Switch! I just rewatched the vid, and wow, is it good. It tells the story in this visceral way. Catches everything Sam's feeling and the struggles he has, and just--yeah, perfect. The banners and icons, as you know, I love. And the fanmix, just yes. Perfect. Thank you again for choosing my story and working with me. I had a great time getting to know you and your work!

[switch842.livejournal.com]

Heya!

Thanks so much for your comments. I really had a great time working with you. Your story really just provided such great inspiration for everything.
