Dean Winchester – A Video Anthology
Dean Winchester – An Anthology
When I started to put together another selection of You Tube videos I decided to get more specific this time. This gave me the opportunity to trawl through the ridiculous number of clips I have stored and put them into some sort of order. The decision about the subject of the first collection was, of course, a foregone conclusion. There are literally thousands of clips on You Tube dedicated to the elder Winchester, many use the same tracks over and over, Candyman or Hero anyone? I have tried here to not go too far down into the shallow end of the pool, after all, I would not want to be accused of objectifying!? I readily admit that there may be some here which are, to borrow a phrase from Jensen at last week`s convention in Rome, `dripping in cheddar` but I love cheese.
The first clip is possible my favourite. It is one of the first fan videos I ever saw on You Tube. Apart from the undoubtedly beautiful images, the reason is the song. I had never heard it before but it would now always feature in any top 5 I compiled. The vidder is emmablack and the track is by Saving Jane, this is `Light of Grace`.

The next one is a more recent find and a change of pace. It contains images from this season. The vidder, BurntOutYesterdays, uses a wonderful track by Florence and The Machine called `The Drumming Song` the clip is called `Couldn`t Wash The Echoes Out`.

When I began watching the show the connection I felt to Dean was immediate as I just loved his dedication to his family. I think this study of Dean`s character demonstrates this perfectly , the vidder, tehjules uses clips from Seasons 1 and 2 and a song called `The Story` by Brandi Carlile.

This clip features one of my all time favourite bands, Eels, their music can be strange, it is sometimes very beautiful and sometimes aggressive and hard, it has been utilised by quite a few people on You Tube to illustrate Supernatural clips, this track is called `Souljacker` and in their description of their work the vidder, supernaturaldude 10, calls it a `tribute to THE Rebel Dean Winchester` this is `22 miles of Hard Road`.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGtwYcZhUw0
A very short clip here also using an Eels track and images from Live Free Twi Hard. This was made by LightNeverFades, the track is `Fresh Blood`. Until this episode I never got the Vampire thing at all, I do now! As I said it is a very short clip, but you can watch it more than once, I know I have.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQZ6PcXWF1I
The song in this video is one that has been used many times , it is by The Mathew Good Band and is called `Weapon`. This is my favourite version by elliepdowd who has made some very good supernatural videos and her work will appear here again, I think her editing here is wonderful.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lF4lOzjyylY
Now to lighten the mood with some major silliness, I just love this, especially the lyrics of the final verse ending with `My eyebrows ain`t plucked, there`s a gun in my truck` accompanied by the Dean Winchester method of sorting laundry. It`s by winchesterus using a song by Brad Paisley – `Dean`s Still a Guy’.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2VdRVmxqZo
This one needs a `tissues needed` warning. It is beautiful, but only to be watched on very good days! Made by nikkisg1 it uses a new song on me by `The Icarus Account` called `Mayday`.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41gCtgyqDSg
I have 2 reasons for loving this clip, not only does it feature one of my all time favourite songs, `In your eyes` by Peter Gabriel, but also some of the best images of Dean, not sure about the break in the song, but that`s just me being picky! It’s another creation by SuperfreakSummer.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKOG8r8hsmQ
Here is a very different clip which might not be to everyone`s taste. I hated Dean`s assessment of himself at the end of `You can`t handle the truth` as `a killer` but this is the same theme here. It`s another clip by elliepdowd and uses an amazing track by Jack Savoretti, `The Killing Man`.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmfpZwLKM9o&feature=related
I much prefer to go down this route, I know Dean is not an angel, and definitely NOT Gabriel but I love the images and song here in this video by ash4897. The artist is Lamb and the song is `Gabriel`. The clip is called `His wings`, it is beautifully edited using black and white images and is a real `big brother` video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnveadbnL18
Another wonderful study of Dean`s character here, covering the first 4 seasons. It is a song I really like by a new artist for me, Mans Zelmerlow, the track is called `The Prayer` The vidder is deanschevyimpala and again I think the editing is wonderful.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNzx7yVwpoI
Another recently discovered video made by SuperfreakSummer, I really like the use of black and white for all the flashbacks here, this was obviously made after the end of the third season. The song is `They`ll never know` by Ross Copperman and it warrants another tissue alert!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6e6KwrZBRU
This list would not be complete without this one! Made by mreagan22, featuring Kelly Clarkson. `Beautiful Disaster`
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDKm3rl5D-c
A little quickie, to finish on a positive (and adorable) note.

I think we need to cling onto this one since we haven’t seen too much of that smile in the final few episodes of this season.
As you can probably guess this list could have been much, much, longer as I have enough for quite a few collections like this. I hope you enjoyed some of these, which were your favourites? I would love to hear any other suggestions
Julie
Just wanted to thank you for giving me some off season material to watch!! I have all my box sets and my copies of this season to hold me over until it comes out on DVD, but something new and set to music…THANK YOU!! 😆
Hello Eliabeth,
Really pleased you enjoyed these, there are a lot more where they came from and I am putting together more collections to get us through hellatus 🙂
Thanks for the comment Ju
Thank you Julie!
Oh how I love me some Dean.. and then some more Dean.. and then some more more Dean!
I watched a handful and they’re all great. I’ll come back again!
Thank You Pragmatic Dreamer
Trust me, putting this collection together was no hardship for me, as you say `I love me some Dean` too 🙂
Hope you enjoyed the rest! Ju
Thanks for these, Julie! You have a number here that I’ve never seen before and they are wonderful. I can never see too many Dean Winchester videos.
I hope you don’t mind that I recommend one to you. It is one of my favorites, and it’s a fun one, with lots of scenes of the cocky Dean that I love. I hope you enjoy.
Thanks again.

Hi Deborah
Thank you for your comment, believe me there is [b]NO[/b] such thing as too many Dean Winchester videos 😉
Also thanks so much for your recommendation, I love the fact we can share these here! I had never seen this one before and you are right, it is a lot of fun and another great antidote for recent events. How many times have we pondered on the fact that Dean (or Jensen) would make an amazing Indy!
Thanks again Ju
I have just watched this ‘Indiana Winchester’ you tube clip you recommended Deborah. It was sooooooo much fun, many thnaks. 😛
Which ones? You’re kidding right? I loved them all, but 22 Miles of Road, & Couldn’t Wash The Echoes were awesome, so was Dean’s Still A Guy (LOL). Thanks for sharing these.
DixieThorn,
I am happy that you enjoyed these, not easy to pick out favourites is it? :sigh:
Thanks for commenting Ju
I’m so thrilled to see elliepdowd’s Weapon video in the mix, because it’s mine! That is, she made it for me by request because I love the song so much and it seemed so perfect for Dean. Isn’t she an amazing vidder?!!
Riverbella
You are so lucky to have such a fantastic video dedicated to you!!
As I said, and I am sure you know, this song has been used so many times. It is understandable, as you say it is so pefect, but this version has always been my favourite. Please pass on my congratulations to the vidder her work, as you say. is amazing.
Thank you for commenting Ju
Thank you so very much for reminding me why I do love this show so very much!!!!
After season 6th – I needed this!!!
Marvellous videos.
Clarice ; }
Hi Clarice,
I loved Season 6, just as I have loved every other Season, but I am happy if this has helped to rekindle some of your enthusiasm.
Pleased you enjoyed them 🙂
Thanks for your comment, Ju
Excelnete work! please make one for Sam!
Hello Verowinchester
Thank you for commenting.
Rest assured there is `one for Sam` in the pipeline! I would never forget him! 😮 🙂 Ju
Hi Dany,
Of course I had to include Mayday! You know I love that song and the clip, and I did provide a warning, and you knew what you were letting yourself in for, you could have skipped that one 😉
So pleased you enjoyed this collection, I had a sneaky suspicion you might 🙂
And you know with Pie AND Chocolate I am there!
Love Ju
This is wonderful. I’ve enjoyed it so much. Thanks for putting it together and I look forward to the one you have concerning Sam. 😆
You`re welcome Ruth.
I have just finished another collection and `The Sam` one is next on the list!!
Thanks for your comment Ju
Hello Col and welcome to the site! 🙂
So pleased you enjoyed this.
I`m in England and have no idea when Season 6 starts here, even when it does I dont get to see it (don`t have Sky 🙁 ) Thank goodness I watch online :-* DVDs already pre-ordered!
Hope you keep coming back, Ju
Julie, my sweet partner in crime, I am so late to this… forgive me. I was busy working and writing ( 😉 ), so that I wasn’t able to take time to go through this great collection.
Some, of course, again were part of some damn conspiracy, but others were utterly beautiful…
Dean is such a wonderful creature, really. And this came straight from your heart.
If I may – how about a collection about my boy? 😆 I know, I’m greedy.
Love!!! Jas
Dear Jas,
Yes he is.
Yes it did.
Dont worry about being late, as you know I more than approve of the reason why.
The damn conspiracy thing is getting to be annoying 🙁
You really think I would neglect you and your boy 😮 I have already promised this is next on the list!
Love Ju
Hi again Col,
See, it`s addictive around here 🙂
I am amazed at your willpower not watching online. Some Saturdays, like for the final 2 I got up at stupid o`clock to watch, so I cant even wait for a civilised hour to view.
You`ll be pleased to hear there are loads more clips on the way Ju
Thanks for commenting HaleyJane
As I have said before, like my boy `I wuv hugz` 🙂
I am sorry you are unable to view some of these. I know there are conspiracies by some companies in certain countries, unfortunately there is no indication which will be effected by this. Hope you could see most of them Ju
Got up at stupid oclock this morning to get a jump on the house work and study and made the mistake of first crusing The Winchester Family Website and discovering your page Julie.
I too ‘love me some Dean’ and have now spent my WHOLE morning in Dean heaven – and housework and study are still on the ‘distant’ horizon. Loved 22 Miles of Hard Road, cackled at Deans Still a Man. Had me a VERY good morning. Thanks Julie:P
