Songs that would be on my snape fan-mix
If I've posted this in error, please let me know...
Ok, so with some fan mixes for Snape going around, I thought I just had to post some songs that make me think of Snape every time I hear them. They're all by this band called Wolfsheim - a german synthpop/darkwave band that's been around since 1987. Most of these songs were written way before the books were published, but they just fit so perfectly with Snape's character. I'll just highlight a couple:
First, a very good Snape/Lily that's believable from his point of view:
CLOSER STILL
The watery light that mirrors
In your desireable eyes
The way you move your lips
While talking to somebody else
I move a little closer
Just to hear what you say
You speak of loneliness
But here's a soul adoring you
Here's a soul adoring you
It's a wounded heart
It breaks into
And in its pain
It sings for you
It's a wounded heart
That feels afraid
Moves closer still
Fulfills its fate
Your freedom's poverty
That you do not recognize
The way you stalk the night
While talking to somebody else
I move a little closer
Just to know who you are
A slightly glowing ember
I'm the breeze igniting you
It's a wounded heart
It breaks into
And in its pain
It sings for you
It's a wounded heart
That feels afraid
Moves closer still
Fulfills its fate
Your smile incredibly sweet
That's what I cannot bear
I seek the friendly water
Anything to sooth my desire
You're moving out of my night
And there will be no dawn
All that could have been
Remains with me internally lost
It's a wounded heart
It breaks into
And in its pain
It sings for you
It's a wounded heart
That feels afraid
Moves closer still
Fulfills its fate
Perhaps a tad sentimental and stalkery, but fits anyway.
And now, one that's very creepy, but suitable for his Death Eater days:
UPSTAIRS
I am dreaming, I'm screaming
But making no sound
I'm the nightmare from upstairs
And I'm coming down
From silence to violence
In a single step
Try to leave or retrieve
What I can't forget
I can see what I'll be
When I'm going on
I can't heal it, can't feel
If I'm doing wrong
It's burning, it's yearning
It's spinning around
Let it shout, tear it out, save me
From this unholy being...
A general one about Snape in his double-agent position with the order and voldemort...
LEAVE NO DEED UNDONE
From the moment you wake up
You cannot feel free
There are so many things in this world
You can't see
Just don't keep on leaving
Your dreams behind
Have the heart to see
You'll get trapped in your mind
No escape
Every further step you'll ever make
Will drive you on to me
And I will set you free
It's like an impurity in your mind
Furtive ruin that hails from behind
Get rid of the demon that darkens your sun
Go on... go on... leave no deed undone!
You don't really depend on material plight
And the way you live... it is simply not right
You just have to get rid of your own demands
Fight against yourself for a second chance
No escape
Every further step you'll ever make
Will drive you on to me
And I will set you free
Sometimes it's too easy just to be scared
No-one promised
Your life would be fair
There's always a reason for you to run
Away... with me... leave no deed undone!
Leave no deed undone!
From the moment you wake up
You cannot feel free
There are so many things in this world
You can't see
Just don't keep on leaving
Your dreams behind
Have the heart to see
You'll get trapped in your mind
No escape
Every further step you'll ever make
Will drive you on to me
And I will set you free
And that's just a few. I could post more...
