My Supernatural Soundtrack

Still Here

Now you have to understand, I am an ex-Sam-girl. So a lot of time I still lean heavily towards Sam so you'll have to forgive me when I occasionally do a Sam heavy post. It's kind of like being a junky. When I watch a Sam Heavy episode I'm pretty under the influence, haha.

This next song, and probably the one after, will be songs that remind me of Sam. And you may read the lyrics and think "Hey! This is clearly more like Dean!" then let me know. We will discuss. Or maybe you want to share a song that you feel may remind you of Sam. or Dean. Or Supernatural in general. I'm all ears.

Some of these don't scream Supernatural but it's definitely the kind of music that Sam would listen too.

================
If you've ever seen the movie Treasure Planet you may recognize this song. It's Jim's Theme "I'm Still Here" and every time I hear it I think of Sam even when SPN isn't or hasn't been on my mind.

"I'm Still Here(Jim's Theme)" - John Rzeznik

I am a question to the world,

Not an answer to be heard.

All a moment that's held in your arms.

And what do you think you'd ever say?

I won't listen anyway…

You don't know me,

And I’ll never be what you want me to be.

And what do you think you'd understand?

I'm a boy, no, I'm a man..

You can take me and throw me away.

And how can you learn what's never shown?

Yeah, you stand here on your own.

They don't know me 'cause I'm not here.

And I want a moment to be real,

Wanna touch things I don't feel,

Wanna hold on and feel I belong.

And how can the world want me to change,

They’re the ones that stay the same.

The don’t know me,

'Cause I’m not here.

And you see the things they never see

All you wanted, I could be

Now you know me, and I'm not afraid

And I wanna tell you who I am

Can you help me be a man?

They can't break me

As long as I know who I am

And I want a moment to be real,

Wanna touch things I don't feel,

Wanna hold on and feel I belong.

And how can the world want me to change,

They’re the ones that stay the same.

They can’t see me,

But I’m still here.

They can’t tell me who to be,

‘Cause I’m not what they see.

And the world is still sleepin’,

While I keep on dreamin’ for me.

And their words are just whispers

And lies that I’ll never believe.

And I want a moment to be real,

Wanna touch things I don't feel,

Wanna hold on and feel I belong.

And how can they say I never change

They’re the ones that stay the same.

I’m the one now,

‘Cause I’m still here.

I’m the one,

‘Cause I’m still here.

I’m still here.

I’m still here.

I’m still here. 

==================

There are two parts in particular that make me think of Sam in this song

And what do you think you'd ever say
I won't listen anyway
You don't know me
And I'll never be what you want
Me to be

If this isn't a perfect description of Sam and John's relationship I don't know what is. John wants Sam to be this strong hunter, to join the 'family business', or that's the way John is portrayed. He wants Sam to be with the family.

------

And I want a moment to be real
Want to touch things I don't feel
Wanna hold on and feel I belong

Isn't this really all Sam wants? He wants to belong somewhere. All his life he wants to be normal. He wants to have friends. He doesn't want to be the freak or the new kid anymore. He just wants to belong. This part, it just screams Sam every time I hear it.

---------

I think the song is pretty self explanatory, or maybe that's just me. But I definitely get the feeling of Sam from this song.
