Are you excited for the new Supernatural season? Well, I am! With only four days to go until the show returns, I decided it's about time to post some of the awesome promo video's and photo's that have been released in the past few weeks.
Obviously there is the promo trailer,
And the extended promo,
And also the 5-minute sneak peek,
but that's not all! This website posted a promo in which we see Dean praying to Castiel in the first episode 'I Think I'm Gonna Like It Here'. And then there's this promo in which Mark Sheppard and Misha Collins, well, promote the new season, but in character. Which is awesome.
A massive load of photo's have been released as well, some of them can be viewed here, here and here.
I've tried to catch up on all the video's and spoilers that have been posted on the net, but I still have no idea what to expect. The season looks very promising and season 8 ended with a huge cliffhanger, of which we're basically all dying to know how it's going to resolve itself.
Even if you've never watched a Supernatural episode in your life, I suggest you watch it this Tuesday, because whatever is going to happen, it's going to be great.
This week's song of the week is Carry On Wayward Son by Kansas. The past month, I've been watching Supernatural almost non-stop (I'm currently halfway season 7) and this song is frequently used as a soundtrack. It might not be everyone's taste - my younger sister hates it - but I think the song, and especially the guitar parts, are awesome.
I found a non-official song meaning on Yahoo Answers, which is the most fucked-up site I've ever seen with really scary questions and even scarier answers ('I think my friend has caught the emo. Is there a cure and is it expensive?') but the answer to the question behind the meaning of Carry On Wayward Son sounds pretty good.
"[Carry On Wayward Son]'s a general spiritual song about life. Throughout the song, the singer hears (what I presume to be) the voice of God telling him to carry on through hardship and high points. "I was soaring ever higher" perhaps signifies the high points in the singer's life and the following "but I flew too high" may suggest a fall from grace. "Tossed about like a ship on the ocean" suggests being out of control and at the mercy of life's hardships and "I set a course for winds of fortune" could mean the singer's picking himself up out of a down period and moving on to a brighter future. The bridge (and the ending) "Carry on, you will always remember. Carry on, nothing equals the splendor. Now your life's no longer empty. Surely heaven waits for you." suggests that life was worth living through all of the experiences since, if the singer had not 'carried on' then life would have been meaningless."
You can find the lyrics to Carry On Wayward Son by clicking here. I also highly recommend watching Supernatural because the show is fantastic. Season one and two are, on a scale from one to ten, a five, but everything from season three to seven is at least worth an eight. Season eight is coming up soon, but I haven't found dates for the season premiere outside the US yet.
Sorry for my lack of posting lately. I'm on a holiday for three weeks this Sunday, but when I'm back I'll try to post more regularly again. Thanks for reading and cheers!
