Description Regrets collect like old friends
Here to relive your darkest moments
I can see no way, I can see no way
And all of the ghouls come out to play

And every demon wants his pound of flesh
But I like to keep some things to myself
I like to keep my issues drawn
It’s always darkest before the dawn

And I’ve been a fool and I’ve been blind
I can never leave the past behind
I can see no way, I can see no way

I’m always dragging that horse around
All of his questions, such a mournful sound
Tonight I’m gonna bury that horse in the ground
So I like to keep my issues drawn
But it’s always darkest before the dawn

Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaaah

And it’s hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off.

And I am done with my graceless heart
So tonight I’m gonna cut it out and then restart
Cause I like to keep my issues drawn
It’s always darkest before the dawn

And it’s hard to dance with a devil on your back

And given half the chance would I take any of it back
It’s a fine romance but it’s left me so undone
It’s always darkest before the dawn.

And I’m damned if I do and I’m damned if I don’t
So here’s to drinks in the dark at the end of my rope

And I’m ready to suffer and I’m ready to hope
It’s a shot in the dark and right at my throat

Cause looking for heaven, found a devil in me
Looking for heaven, found a devil in me

Well what the hell?
I’m gonna let it happen to me.

Florence and The Machine, “Shake it out”

—————————————————

Someone called this song a “self performed exorcism”, which is quite right, and I believe, it’s what Sam tried to do during the past year. And this song, which I love to bits, suits him perfectly too, not only metaphorically but literally.


I’ve been looking very long for the visualization of it, but still I’m not sure, if this is the final version. Should be more…uhm… dramatic?

Second version on Tumblr, because I could not decide.

Featured your amazing art: May We RememberMay we remember, when we look around us, the beauty of the possible, the strength, love, creativity, and goodness we are capable of, the majesty of all Creation, and our purpose here.  When we forget in the midst of our problems and those of our neighbors, and the troubles and dangers in this world, may we remember and lift our heads, for there is hope because we are loved, and we are members of one family on Earth, whether we know it or not. We are all learning, and striving deep inside to become what we can be, that we may do what we can, the best we can.  With love in Christ, and as always, please enjoy the wonderful music at the end!! -Debra

Love this song! And I think it goes so well with Sam! I think you'll like this youtube video [link] It's not mine, but it's basically an awesome music video for Sam with shake it out as the music! Great interpretation btw I seriously can't agree more!

This is beautiful. It captures Sam so well...I can't even explain it, there's so much in here that ties in perfectly. You really captured the Sam from the past year, I feel. Great job! As with all your art, I love it

I really love this concept, firstly because of all those creatures from the abyss, creepy crawlies, "scary-shit-scary-oh-my-pants" things that remind me of Giger in some way. But, without the opium.

I believe that if you made this more dramatic we'd be missing the whole point and Sam's evolution since he was brought back. I feel that having that weird mess of scary things just hovering behind him but not invading everything -yet- is more poignant. It's the slow decent in the abyss. The "I think I'm going mad, but I'm just seeing things right ?"

I love the contrast between the sunny countryside, that basically says: everything is fine, it's cool, c'mon Dean let's have a beer. He had the wall before it tumbled down, and everything seemed alright and but then he'd turn around and Lucifer was there hovering over his shoulder. I just really love the "madness lurking back ready to swoop in" of this piece.

Na pierwszy rzut oka [zwłaszcza patrząc na thumbnail], śliczna melancholijna praca, słoneczko wstaje/bądź zachodzi poza kadrem, no wiadomo... na drugi, zbliżenie do pełnej wersji....i wypełzają te wszystkie elementy rodem z Lovecrafta, i sielskość z przestrachem umyka.
