likely_evil | Fanmix: Darkness and Light

When they were alive, Sam Winchester and Bela Talbot couldn't stand one another. But in death, their hell-bound souls found refuge and comfort in each other. When Samael was gripped and pulled from Hell, he was left a mess of a man that no one appeared to want, and only was the return of his hell-bound mistress did Samael and Abby both find the strength to be more than Hell had force them to be.

Darkness and Light - a Samael & Abby Fanmix

1. Bring Me To Life – Evanescence

I've been living a lie
There's nothing inside
Bring me to life

Frozen inside without your touch
Without your love, darling
Only you are the life among the dead

All this time, I can't believe I couldn't see
Kept in the dark but you were there in front of me
I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems
Got to open my eyes to everything

Without thought, without voice, without a soul
Don't let me die here
There must be something more
Bring me to life

This is Samael's song in the relationship. When Abby finds Sam he is just barely getting by, basically banished from his family and hardly making it on his own. He can't adjust to the world alone, and when Abby appears he realizes that as long as she's there, he isn't alone in this battle anymore and might be able to start finding a reason to keep going again.

2. Kiss From a Rose - Seal

There used to be a graying tower alone on the sea.
You became the light on the dark side of me.
Love remained a drug that's the high and not the pill.
But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and
The light that you shine can be seen.

This is a Samael song. There is still so much darkness in his soul that he knows he will never be able to get rid of. But when Abby is around and reminds him that even in Hell he was still a good man, it gives him the ability to find that light still inside of him.

3. Like a Virgin - Madonna

I made it through the wilderness
Somehow I made it through
Didn't know how lost I was
Until I found you

I was beat incomplete
I'd been had, I was sad and blue
But you made me feel
Yeah, you made me feel
Shiny and new

Like a virgin
Touched for the very first time
Like a virgin
When your heart beats
Next to mine

This is Abby's theme song. It's a song about a woman who finds her strength because of the man in her life. Abby was a scared thing when Samael first met her in Hell, and he spent a lot of time working with her to make her more than just a toy. Now she is a strong willed demon and able to take care of him as a human on his worse days.

4. Take Me As I Am - Jekyll & Hide

JEKYLL & EMMA:
Though fate won't always do
What we desire -
Still we can set
The world on fire!

Give me your hand,
Give me your heart -

JEKYLL:
Swear to me we'll never part!

EMMA:
We'll never part!

JEKYLL:
You know who I am.

EMMA:
You know who I am.

JEKYLL:
This is who I am.

EMMA:
This is who I am.

JEKYLL & EMMA:
Take me as I am...

Samael knows that his family looks at him and tries to see Sam, but he knows he will never be Sam again - not completely. And he doesn't want to really make Dean understand more than he already has about what he did in Hell. Abby, however, knows all of it and doesn't judge him on the things he did there, nor does Samael condemn her for being a demon on Earth. They know who they are and love each other for it.

5. Fortress - Hope

I feel a little insecure,
Cause I've been wrong before.
If only we can hide away,
I wouldn't have to worry anymore.

I thought I was holding on,
But my heart slipped away.
There's nothing wrong,
That's my song,
I wanna let it play.
I wanna let it play.

This is an Abby song. She was sent by Stolas and Lilith to bring Samael back to Hell, but instead he promised to take care of her as he always had. This is her being cautious on taking Samael's offer and worrying about the fight that might come from it.

6. Broken Wings - Mr. Mister

Baby
don't understand why we can't just hold on
to each other's hands
This time might be the last if fear unless
I make it all too clear

I need you so.

Take these broken wings
And learn to fly again
learn to live so free.
And when we hear the voices sing
The book of love will open up and let us in.
Take these broken wings

This is a song that fits either of them, but I see it more being a song Abby would sing to Samael. They are both broken in their own ways post-Hell and it's only when they support one another are they able to get through the hard times.

7. Stand – Rascal Flatts

Life's like a novel
With the end ripped out
The edge of a canyon
With only one way down
Take what you're given before its gone
Start holding on, keep holding on

Cause when push comes to shove
You taste what you're made of
You might bend, till you break
Cause its all you can take
On your knees you look up
Decide you've had enough
You get mad you get strong
Wipe your hands shake it off
Then you Stand, Then you stand

This is a song about their individual struggles to overcome the tortures of Hell and becoming the individual people that they are now. They both have their demons to face, and while they are able to leave on each other for support, they also need to take some of those fights on by themselves and beat it.

8. Fight the Good Fight - Triumph

he days grow shorter and the nights are getting long
Feels like we're running out of time
Every day it seems much harder tellin' right from wrong
You got to read between the lines
Don't get discouraged, don't be afraid, we can
Make it through another day
Make it worth the price we pay
The Good Book says it's better to give than to receive
I do my best to do my part
Nothin' in my pockets I got nothin' up my sleeve
I keep my magic in my heart
Keep up your spirit, keep up your faith, baby
I am counting on you
You know what you've got to do

Fight the good fight every moment
Every minute every day
Fight the good fight every moment
It's your only way

Samael has bad days sometimes where he almost wishes he could just let himself go back to Hell. Those are the days he just needs to work through the motions and get to the next day, and the next and hopefully it will get better.

~

9. Not Quite paradise - Bliss 66

Because it's not quite paradise
But it sure feels like home
Not quite paradise
We can learn to grow
It'll be alright
No it's not quite
Paradise

Samael and Abby don't see Earth the way they did before their time in Hell, and things are never completely right for them there. But even for the splendor they had in hell, the paradise they found there, they both know they are better off learning to live again on Earth and doing it together.
