Did y'all see the YouTube vid of LA Con where someone asked the JJs which songs they thought of as associated with the show?

Jared was first with Renegade, several others were listed, and Jensen finished up with Back in Black. Curiously, nobody mentioned Carry On.

ETA: The first stanza lines of Knockin' on Heaven's Door have just been haunting me since last week.

"Take this badge offa me". I'm done with trying to save people. I'm finished. I quit. It's not my job anymore.

"Mama put my guns in the ground. I can't use them anymore." Again, I'm done. Nothing I do makes a difference, and I'm not long for this world.

I don't know. It's not as dramatic, but the lyrics may have superceded Renegade for me as pointed and pertinent.

Great. Now you've earwormed me. Carry On is the easiest earworm in the world for me.

I wonder if it's because it's in the previouslies, and not in the episode itself.

Dunno. But they've been promising peace (the amorphous "they", whoever's cueing the song) for four years. I forsee a break with tradition for 5.22.

Just FYI, neither "Carry On" nor "Renegade" are in the quiz. Because that's too easy.

::clings tightly to tradition::

They'd better come up with something good.

Bev there is a reason that I started crying before it even got to the words. Damn that song does it to me almost every time.

I didn't even notice the music at first. It was JA that brought me to tears, and Colin Ford. That kind of happy, on SPN? Saddest thing ever. Until the actual sad things.

One of the songs that got me, maybe because I already loved it, was "Can't Find My Way Home" at the tail end of Route 666, when Dean puts his sunglasses back on and doesn't answer Sam about staying with Cassie for a little longer. So perfectly melancholy.

I also adored them using Rosemary Clooney's recording of "Merry Little Christmas".

Both of those are very effective, Amy. And the fact that it's Rosie rather than a cover somehow makes it more poigant--I don't know why that should be, but it is, for me.

This clip [link] is the reason that I can't hear the song begin without knowing someone is going to die. When badass Katy Jurado sees Slim Pickens walking off and forgets everything about what is going on, because she just "knows". And she sits with him without saying a word. I cry thinking about it, which I guess was the point given it was written for this scene. Freakin' Peckinpah. So, yeah, anyway the song has a slow opening and makes my allergies go into overdrive.

That kind of happy, on SPN? Saddest thing ever.

This too.

And this. Didn't Dean say in this episode that he would "muddle through"? I have to go check again. Dang.
