Title: One For The Road
Fandom: Percy Jackson and the Olympians
Subject: The quest from The Lightning Thief
Warnings: Uh, there's Miley Cyrus on this. I am not responsible if it gets stuck in your head.
Notes: Ugly album covers are ugly. Besides that, this is a mix for the trio while they're on the quest in The Lightning Thief. I was imagining the older, movieverse characters trapped in a car and driving down the highways while I was making it, so there's some accompanying commentary. Also fits in with the Redux 'verse.









01 Empire State of Mind // Jay-Z featuring Alicia Keys
(Percy leaves his beloved NYC behind him)

Tell by my attitude that I most definitely from…

In New York,
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of,
There's nothing you can’t do,
Now you’re in New York.
These streets will make you feel brand new,
The lights will inspire you,
Let's hear it for New York, New York, New York



02 Breathe // Anberlin
(Percy’s getting used to this whole demigod thing)

This is surrender
To a war-torn life I've lived.
Scars and stripes forever
In need of change I can't resist.

No need to hide anything anymore.
Can't return to who I was before.


03 I Woke Up In A Car // Something Corporate
(The first day)

Well I woke up in a car
I traced away the fog
So I could see the Mississippi on her knees
I've never been so lost
I've never felt so much at home
Please write my folks and throw away my keys
I woke up in a car


04 Party in the USA // Miley Cyrus
(Grover gets to choose the music during the ride, and is subsequently banned from touching the radio ever again)

So I put my hands up, they’re playin’ my song
The butterflies fly away
I’m noddin’ my head like, “Yeah!”
Movin’ my hips like, “Yeah!”
Got my hands up, they’re playin’ my song
And now I’m going to be okay
Yeah, it’s a party in the USA


05 Life is a Highway // Rascal Flatts
(highway song)

Knock me down get back up again
You're in my blood
I'm not a lonely man
There's no load I can't hold
Road so rough this I know
I'll be there when the light comes in
Just tell 'em we're survivors


06 Learning to Fly // Tom Petty
(highway song)

Well I started out down a dirty road
Started out all alone
And the sun went down as I crossed a hill
And the town lit up, the world got still


07 Lights // Journey
(stopping for the night in a big city along the way)

When the lights go down in the city
And the sun shines on the bay
Ooh I want to be there in my city, oh oh


08 Highway to Hell // AC/DC
(signs of trouble start to appear)

No stop signs, speed limit, nobody's gonna slow me down
Like a wheel, gonna spin it, nobody's gonna mess me around
Hey Satan, payin' my dues, playin' in a rockin' band
Hey Mumma, look at me, I'm on my way to the promised land

I'm on the highway to hell
Highway to Hell
I'm on the highway to hell


09 Bring It (Snakes on a Plane) // Cobra Starship
(Annabeth's anticipating a fight. You know what that means.)

So kiss me goodbye
Honey, I'm gonna make it out alive
So kiss me goodbye
I can see the venom in your eyes
Goodbye


10 Let it Rock // Kevin Rudolf
(fight song)

I see your dirty face
high behind your coller
what is done in vain
truth is hard to swallow
so you pray to god
to justify the way you
live a lie


11 Papercut // Linkin Park
(things aren’t fun any more, if they ever were in the first place)

Why does it feel like night today?
Something in here's not right today.
Why am I so uptight today?
Paranoia's all I got left
I don't know what stressed me first
Or how the pressure was fed
But I know just what it feels like
To have a voice in the back of my head
It's like a face that I hold inside
A face that awakes when I close my eyes
A face watches every time I lie
A face that laughs every time I fall
(And watches everything)
So I know that when it's time to sink or swim
That the face inside is hearing me
Right underneath my skin


12 Shot Heard ‘Round the World // Boys Like Girls
(is it possible for things to get worse? It is if you're a demigod)

If we could light up every street with our cellular phones
Then maybe we can save ourselves, or maybe we won't
Well, it doesn't even matter if we got no plan
As long as you're holding on to somebody's hand

Because there's no way out
Stuck inside your head now
But I know we can break out


13 A Favor House Atlantic // Coheed and Cambria
(escape song)

Run quick, they're behind us
Didn't think we'd ever make it
This close to safety in one piece
Now you wanna kill me in the act of what could maybe
Save us from sleep and what we are


14 Move Along // The All-American Rejects
(hope is restored)

Speak to me, when all you got to keep is strong
Move along, move along like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through
Move along

15 Stand // Rascal Flatts
(they survive, in the end)

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


16 Don't Stop Believin' // Journey
(wouldn't be a road trip without it)

Some will win, some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on

This is awesome! Mind if I put it on playlist in my iPod? I've been dying to hear another Percy soundtrack after Invulnerable and Invincible <3
