Title: Rock Like a Hurricane
Warnings/Notes: Explicit lyrics I guess. Faith always fascinated me with how she went from good to bad to not sure to awesome so making a mix for her was a lot of fun. Tried to keep the music to stuff she'd like too in a way. This mix tracks her awakening as a slayer all the way to the end of the TV series. I tried to pick songs that show her journey through that.
Faith had a hard life with no father and a mother that neither paid attention nor really cared. Called up to be a slayer she finally had the power to take control of her own life and revelled in it. She didn't give a damn about what people thought and always walked the line until she finally crossed it. She became the bad guy, screaming for attention, loving the fights until she hit the wall. She changed. She grew. She went back to her friends and helped them train, helped them fight, didn't give a damn what their story was as long as she could rely on them in a fight when it mattered. She goes through what seems like huge change and somehow stays very the same. She shows that there are many shades to one person, how close everyone is to the edge. She was the good guy, then the bad guy and then finally the hero.
