I did it! I finally made a fanmix. (I actually have a couple others in various stages of development, but this is the first one I've actually finished.)

First of all, I have to give my profoundest thanks to bluewildfire, because I could not have done it without her. I mean I LITERALLY could not have done it without her. As many of you know -- graphics skillz: I haz none. So the pretty pictures you're about to see are all her work. All I did was pick the songs and suggest (in the very broadest and vaguest terms) a design. I had fun with this; some of the songs are a bit meta, as PoI fans will discern.

And yes, I chose country songs for a bunch of city-dwellers. Because that is the way my mind works.

For You -- Keith Urban

And I wondered, would I give my life
Would I make that sacrifice
If it came down to it, could I take the bullet
I would, yes I would
For you

Drinkin' Me Lonely -- Chris Young

So I'll just order up another
And pretend I'm all right
When the truth is I'm only
Drinkin' me lonely tonight

The Incredible Machine -- Sugarland

A heart that beats
An incredible machine
Made of blood and love and hope and lust and steam
Calling, calling, calling

God's Gonna Cut You Down -- Johnny Cash

Go tell that long-tongue liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler, the gambler, the backbiter
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down

 Better than I Used to Be -- Tim McGraw

I ain't no angel
I still got a few more dances with the devil
I'm cleanin' up my act little by little
I'm gettin' there
I can finally stand the man in the mirror I see
I ain't as good as I'm gonna get
But I'm better than I used to be

(That one, in case you didn't guess, was for Fusco. :-) I can see how it could apply to Reese or maybe even to Finch, but I think it fits Fusco better than anyone else.)

Soldiers and Jesus -- James Otto

They both went through hell, bear crosses and shells
And both got back up again after they fell
They don't pick the fight
But they're there to pick up the pieces
God only knows who we'd be
Without soldiers and Jesus

(I did say meta, didn't I? :-) But I think that one applies to Carter as well as Reese.)

Gunpowder and Lead -- Miranda Lambert

I'm gonna show him what a little girl's made of
Gunpowder and lead

Feels So Real -- Edens Edge

Baby, you're gone, but you're like the wind
Out of the calm you come back again
Rattling the windows of my painted-shut heart
Feels so real

You Don't Mess Around with Jim -- Josh Turner

You don't tug on Superman's cape
You don't spit into the wind
You don't pull the mask off the ol' Lone Ranger
And you don't mess around with Jim

Stays in Mexico -- Toby Keith

Don't bite off more than you can chew
There's things down here the devil himself wouldn't do
Just remember when you let it all go
What happens in Mexico
Stays in Mexico

Over You -- Miranda Lambert

They say I'll be okay
But I'm not going to
Ever get over you

Beer for My Horses -- Toby Keith & Willie Nelson

When the gunsmoke settles, we'll sing a victory tune
And we'll all meet down at the local saloon
We'll raise up our glasses against evil forces
Singing, whiskey for my men, beer for my horses

(If Reese ever takes his team for that drink, that needs to be what's playing in the bar.)

Can the Circle Be Unbroken -- The Carter Family

Can the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by

(Inspired by a quote from Michael Emerson about the cliffhanger in the season finale.)

Already I'm starting to think of songs for a possible season 2 fanmix . . . but then maybe I'd better wait and see what's in season 2!
