fanmix: this girl is a hurricane
Subject: Jo Harvelle
Notes: Jo is the only character in canon to have chosen to be a hunter. She's tough and she's vulnerable; she's brave, and she's naive and she's tragic. This a fanmix that covers the arc of her story and examines who she is and her relationships to her mother, her father, and Dean and Sam. Implied unrequited Jo/Dean.

scorpiod1, not for any special occasion, but because I love you babe, and I love how much you love Jo. Also, I kept thinking of you while making this. Thank you for being such a sweet and wonderful friend. Fanmix includes front and back covers, lyrics, uploads of individual songs, a .zip of all the songs together, and a bonus poem.
Enjoy! And remember, feedback is good karma.Huge thanks to
familiardevil for the hand-holding, help, and encouragement. ♥ I couldn't (and wouldn't) have done this without you.
elocation (or, exit us)
the city is american, so she
can map it. train tracks, highways slice through, bleed
only to one side. like a half-red sea
permanently parted, the middle she'd
pass through, like the rest, in a wheeling rush,
afraid the divide would not hold and all
would drown – city as almighty ambush –
beneath the crashing waves of human hell.
the city's infra(red)structure sweats her,
a land(e)scape she can't make, though she knows
the way. she's got great heart, but that gets her where? egypt's always on her right (it goes
where she goes), canaan's always just a-head,
and to her left, land of the bloodless dead.
~Evie Shockley
(1) Expectations - Belle and Sebastian
And the head said that you always were a queer one from the start
For careers you say you wanna be remembered for your art
Your obsessions get you known throughout the school for being strange
(2) Daughter - Vienna Teng
Did you know you're so beautiful
On the edge of summer
That years from now
I'll cry to remember
How very close you were
How very close you were
(3) An Angry Blade - Iron & Wine
Grace is a gift for the fallen dear
You're an angry blade and you're brave
But you're all alone
(4) Blow Away - A Fine Frenzy
Hey, hey you, yeah you gotta be leaving,
Say what you want, what you say, say anything
No one knows just how deep it goes
We are old in your teen aged tyranny
And all you need is a hunger to feed
I've got my own secrets though, say what?
With a heart full of mess and lore
We are doomed but we wanted more
(5) Girl Sailor - The Shins
A stronger girl would shake this off in flight,
And never give it more than a frowning hour,
But you have let your heart decide,
Loss has conquered you,
You've won one too many fights,
Wearing many hats every time,
But you won’t win here tonight
(6) The Greatest - Cat Power
Once I wanted to be the greatest
Two fists of solid rock
With brains that could explain
Any feeling
Once I wanted to be the greatest
No wind or water fall could stall me
And then came the rush of the flood
The stars at night turned deep to dust
(7) This Girl Is Taking Bets - Thea Gilmore
This girl is a black eye, she's a bruise on your knee
She's the ashes of the people that you really meant to be
This girl's the resurrection, she's the comeback
She's the absinthe in whiskey she is poetry and Prozac
This girl is taking bets, this girl's a silhouette, can't you see?
This girl is the clean cut, she's the frozen ground
She's a knife drawn down the side street when there's no-one else around
(8) Sally's Song - Fiona Apple
I sense there's something in the wind
That seems like tragedy's at hand
And though I'd like to stand by him
Can't shake this feeling that I have
The worst is just around the bend
and does he notice my feelings for him?
and will he see how much he means to me?
I think it's not to be
(9) Red Right Ankle - The Decemberists
Some had crumbled you straight to your knees
Did it cruel, did it tenderly
Some had crawled their way into your heart
To rend your ventricles apart
This is the story of the boys who loved you
(10) Hurricane Drunk - Florence + the Machine
No walls,
Can keep me protected
No sleep,
Nothing inbetween me and the rain
And you can't save me now,
I'm in the grip of a hurricane
I'm gonna blow myself away.
Nothing to keep me from the storm,
And you can't hold me down,
'Cause I belong to the hurricane,
It's gonna blow us all away.
