• like strings of pearls in a fiery sky

I felt like I should make a Harry Potter fanmix, I don't see that much Harry Potter book love around anymore and this is worrisome for me. this was sort of set off by the Half Blood Prince film that is coming out, even though it's book-based, but I suppose it still stands even though they pushed the release date back for the film.

this mix is basically from Ron's perspective from the beginning of Half-Blood Prince to the end of Deathly Hallows, and is kind of my interpretation of what goes on in his mind since we only know it from Harry's perspective. it's very heavily Ron/Hermione-centric (especially the HBP related songs), and I tried to put it in chronological order but I may have gotten a few events mixed up since I haven't reread the books in a while, haha. anyway, on to the mix!

• la valse d'amelie - yann tiersen
  • instrumental
• luca reprise - brand new
  • touch me or don't, just let know where you been. rop me a line with a hook and some raw bleeding bait, I am uncaught and still swimming alone in the lake.
• sabra girl - nickel creek
  • lonely the life and dismal the view, closed is the road that leads to you. since better cant be, as friends we'll agree, sabra girl, time will cure me.
• when you sleep - cake
  • when you sleep, when you sleep where do your fingers go? what do your fingers know? what do your fingers show? where do your fingers go?
• tonight, not again - jason mraz
  • still I'm unable to inhale all the riches, as I'm awkward as a wound on my bones. still I've got cobblestone joints and plate glass points, as I'm all by myself tonight, not again, not again.
• the professor and la fille danse - damien rice
  • what makes her come and what makes her stay? what make the animal run, run away. what makes him stall, what makes him stand, and what shakes the elephant now, and what makes a man?
• i slept with bonhomme at the cbc - broken social scene
  • instrumental
• caroline - david gray
  • girl I want you more than I can say, ah but Caroline it seems like every time, honey, all I get is further away.
• right as rain - adele
  • 'cause who wants to be right as rain, it's better when something is wrong. you get excitement in your bones even thought everything's a strain. when night comes and I'm all on my own, you should know I chose to be alone, so who wants to be right as rain?
• displaced - azure ray
  • am I making something worthwhile out of this place? am I making something worthwhile out of this chase? I am displaced.
• the resolution - jack's mannequin
  • and I'm alive, and I don't need a witness to know that I survived, I'm not looking for forgiveness. I just need light, I need light in the dark as I search for the resolution.
• sad song - au revoir simone
  • play me a sad song because that’s what I want to hear, I want you to make me cry. I want to remember the places that we left, lost to the mists of time.
• get better - mates of state
  • everything's gonna get lighter, even if it never gets better.
• birds - emiliana torrini
  • let's stay awake and listen to the dark before the birds, before they all wake up. it's the ending of a play, and soon begins another... see the sun come rising and the white wings start to fly, like strings of pearls in the fiery sky. I don't want to close my eyes, don't want to leave the stage now.
• in our bedroom after the war - stars
  • lift your head and look out the window, stay that way for the rest of the day and watch the time go. listen! the birds sing! listen! the bells ring! all the living are dead, and the dead are all living, the war is over and we are beginning.
