Two more songs for the Snapemix

Plus a question for the mod

Lyrics and titles behind the cut to not spoil anyone who hasn't read the book yet (also because lyrics uncut can be an Unforgiveable-worthy offense)

I was avoiding it for as long as I could, mainly because I don't want to see this comm turn into a non-stop squee-fest for Snape/Lily. However, since it's canon now, yes, it's ok to discuss Snevans.

He deserved better.

He deserved better.

He really did. For reasons I've ranted about in my other journal, I don't think Lily was that great of a catch.

[cmwinters]

I saw them, and you have a point.

But one thing we have to realise is, we really don't get to see a very complete Lily. We're only seeing, really, the parts of her where Snape is blaming himself for having driven her away. I think we need to give Snape SOME credit for devoting his life to this person-surely she had SOME good qualities. She says she defended him; we don't see that, because we don't need to, because all that would do is cement that he loved her and that she apparently felt something for him, even if it was only platonic.

"Mudblood" is an UNFORGIVEABLE thing to have said to someone, and she was right for being upset about it, and he was just stupid for saying it. And he also, in his awkward teenaged years, didn't do a good job of differentiating to Lily why she was different and it seems she took understandable umbrage to that.

Well you could always put rules on it and say something like "it can't be lame" . . . but oh wait, "lame" is canon. *facedesk*

*sigh*

I actually like Snape/Lily, but I was really apprehensive about Jo doing it because she does Romance SO. POORLY.

God, I was right. *facedesk*

I recommend Filter's Captain Bligh and also Muse's Absolution

Btw, what's this about a snape fan-mix??? I have SO many songs that would work perfectly. :D

[cmwinters]

Nothing "about" it really. I just have a mix of things that remind me of Snape. Since I was CONVINCED that he was NEVER the Dark Lord's man, and was going to be the one to (directly) strike the killing blow, most of Queensryche's Operation: Mindcrime is on there as well as The Police's Wrapped Around Your Finger. Since I thought he just killed Dumbledore to defeat the Dark Lord (true) and cement his position as spy (also true), "Trapped" is on there. You put whatever on there that you want. Just was asking what everyone else had.

God I'm depressed.

Ooh....man, I have so many to submit. This one German band Wolfsheim pretty much writes as though they are in his perspective, though most of the songs were written before the books were out....

Here's one for a sample:

Childhood Cruel

Smoking your first cigarette
Coughing and getting sick
Making an experience
Childhood cruel

Wicked father's touch so new
Love it seemed became untrue
Wounded little silly heart
Childhood cruel
Childhood cruel

Riding a blue bicycle
Didn't see the nearing car
Seven days in hospital
Childhood cruel

Lazy daddy unemployed
Drunken tyrant killing time
Painful laurel is your gain
Childhood cruel
Childhood cruel

Every morning bed is wet
(You're) trying to hide away
Angry mommy points at you
Childhood cruel

Many too expensive drugs
Temptation irresistable
All regrets are meaningless
Childhood cruel
Childhood cruel

Childhood cruel

Sorry, btw, if this is not the proper place to put them.
