When I was driving home this afternoon "Renegade" was on the radio. That song will absolutely always fling me right back to Sam and Dean looking tired and desperate, dressed in the yummy all black SWAT uniforms, staring at each other in the front seat of the car realizing just how bad their situation is. Such a perfect use of music at just the right time.
Zoe: Captain will come up with a plan. Kaylee: That's good. Right? Zoe: Possibly you're not recalling some of his previous plans.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Because I have very little pre-SPN exposure to a lot of classic rock and I also imprint really easily, I don't know if the depression and desperation will ever wash off Renegade or Carry On Wayward Son for me. And I'm not sure if I want it to.
I really want to rewatch Nightshifter now.

Because books.
I was never EVER a Styx fan. But that song, in that moment? It was, like Morgana said, completely perfect. And now it comes on the radio and I turn it up, and I see them, in their SWAT uniforms, walking into that parking garage, and it's pure love.
"Carry On" is not one I'm going to listen to on purpose, even now, because it was so overplayed when I was a kid, but I do love hearing it within the context of the show. All kinds of AC/DC songs have new associations now, too, which is cool.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I was a huge Styx fan when I was 12ish so now their music often makes me cringe
But that song, in that moment?
yeah.

I hope someone gets paid good money for choosing SPN music. Even if not everything vaults itself to iconic, so much of it is so very good...I'm remembering "Spirit In The Sky" in Good God Y'All, or the cheesy crap in Changing Channels, or "Knockin' On Heaven's Door" in Dark Side Of The Moon...and that's just season 5.

One of my favorites is actually in Route 666, Blind Faith's "Can't Find My Way Home," as they drive away from Cassie.

I sense such pleading from Cas in that picture. Having to deal with…mortals must be tiresome.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Is there a literary term for the borderline between text and subtext?
I call it Domtext. But I'm a smartass.

Shouldn't Domtext be above the text?
