Are you drowning or waving? Just need you to save me...

[exsequar]

I've been listening to Bush a lot lately (I hate that their name has such negative connotations, cause they're a kickass band) and this one song suddenly caught my ears as the anthem of Broken!SamandDean, as they are in S2, especially post-IMTOD. It's called Out of This World, and it was already one of my favorite Bush songs, cause my god it's gorgeous.

Here, download it! Out of This World - Bush

And here are the lyrics...


When we die
We go into the arms of those who remember us

We are home now
Out of our heads
Out of our minds
Out of this world
Out of this time

Are you drowning or waving?
I just want you to save me
Should we try to get along?
Just try to get along

So we move
We change by the speed of the choices that we make
And the barriers are all self-made
That's so retrograde

Are you drowning or waving?
I just need you to save me
Should we try to get along?
Just try to get along

I am alive
I'm awake to the trials of confusion create
There are times when I feel the way we're about to break
When there's too much to say

We are home now
Out of our heads
Out of our minds
Out of this world
Out of this time
Out of this time


I love that so much of it is "We" - SamandDean, together against the world, forever and always. This song is just so quietly broken and poignant - I love it.

In the musical vein, I have a request - does anyone have any albums of Lynyrd Skynyrd? I'd really appreciate an upload :D

Oh honey...I have like every Lynyrd Skynyrd album ever MADE. including some of the more recent ones that suck ass.

I'll upload as soon as I get back from the store.

HEE! I'd appreciate just what you think's the best, yknow? A crash course :D Thanks babygirl!

It's also one of the song's used in s6 of Buffy, after she comes back and goes all angsty and slutty.

Is it really! I had no idea. Makes sense, although I like Dean's trajectory rather better, though god knows what he's going to do next! Poor, broken boy.

Conversely, Sam's Bush song (to Dean mostly) could easily be "Letting the Cables Sleep"


You in the dark
You in the pain
You on the run
Living a hell
Living your ghost
Living your end
Never seem to get in the place that I belong
Don't wanna lose the time
Lose the time to come

Whatever you say it's alright
Whatever you do it's all good
Whatever you say it's alright
Silence is not the way
We need to talk about it
If heaven is on the way
If heaven is on the way

You in the sea
On a decline
Breaking the waves
Watching the lights go down
Letting the cables sleep

Whatever you say it's alright
Whatever you do it's all good
Whatever you say it's alright
Silence is not the way
We need to talk about it
If heaven is on the way
We'll wrap the world around it
If heaven is on the way
If heaven is on the way

I'm a stranger in this town
I'm a stranger in this town

If heaven is on the way
If heaven is on the way
I'm a stranger in this town
I'm a stranger in this town

Oh, wonderful!! That's my other favorite Bush song (so PRETTY) but I hadn't listened closely enough to the words! *happy sigh* Absolutely perfect. I love our boys.

It really fits the boys! =O I'm downloading it right now =)

Oooh yeah, that is a great song! I first heard it on Buffy, so I've always been "It's, liek, a Buffy/Spike song!!!!!1!!" ;) but it definitely works for where the boys are right now.

Aw BUSH. Man, I love them. They throw me right back to early high school and I adore this song. It was used on Buffy, did you know that? *clings and downloads*

Beautiful song and it sure fits for the guys! What I like about Bush-band^^ is that they actually are quite flexible, they can totally rock off with one song or just give you this haunting, insistent feeling on the next.

Those lyrics are perfect for the boys, absolutely. Also? If you haven't given a listen to the new Goo Goo Dolls album, you should. There's a bunch of songs on there that strike me as very Sam and Dean.

If you don't have it, let me know and I can share the love..
