flowrs4opheliaThis mix is an undiscriminating celebration of all HP shipping in the fandom, both canon and non-canon. Although there is a little more of a prominence of ships I personally like, not all of the ones represented in these songs choices are ones that I even, well, ship. Even if your OTP doesn't have a song here, there are several general song choices that can be applied to nearly any relationship - Dobby/Basilisk for all I care. XD
I always intended to post this mix prior to the release of Book 7 because there are many songs that deal with keeping close to the ones you love during dangerous times or being in love in the middle of a war, and I think it's good to listen to as we are all still wondering if our favorite lovers will come out of their battles all right and be able to live happily ever after together.
01. One Line - PJ Harvey
Do you remember the first kiss?
Stars shooting across the sky
To come to such a place as this
You never left my mind
I'm watching from the wall
As in the streets we fight
This world all gone to war
All I need is you tonight
And I draw a line
To your heart today
To your heart from mine
One line to keep us safe
02. Witchcraft - Frank Sinatra
Those fingers in my hair
That sly come-hither stare
That strips my conscience bare
It's witchcraft
And I've got no defense for it
The heat is too intense for it
What good would common sense for it do?
It's such an ancient pitch
But one I'd never switch
'Cause there's no nicer witch than you
03. I Want You To Want Me - Cheap Trick (James/Lily)
I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I'd love you to love me
I'm beggin you to beg me
Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin?
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin?
04. I Need Some Fine Wine and You, You Need To Be Nicer - The Cardigans (Sirius/Remus)
Sit, good dog, stay, bad dog, down, roll over
Trying to play together somehow
I'm wasting my life
You're changing the world
It's the good times that we share
And the bad times that we'll have
It's the good times
And the bad times that we had
Baby you're foul in clear conditions
But you're handsome in the fog
So I need some fine wine
And you, you need to be nicer
05. Ava Adore - Smashing Pumpkins (Draco/Pansy)
It's you that I adore
You'll always be my whore
We must never be apart
Lovely girl, you're the murder in my world
Dressing coffins for the souls I've left to die
In you I feel so dirty
In you I crash cars
In you I feel so pretty
In you I taste God
06. To Know Him Is To Love Him - The Teddy Bears (Harry/Ginny)
To know, know, know him
Is to love, love, love him
Just to see him smile makes my life worthwhile
I'd be good to him
I'd bring love to him
Everyone says there'll come a day
When I'll walk alongside of him
Why can't he see, how blind can he be
Someday he'll see that he was meant for me
07. Somersault - Zero 7 (Remus/Lily)
You talk to loners, you ask how's your week
You give love to all and give love to me
You're obsessed with hiding the sticks and stones
You would share your last jelly bean
And you would somersault in sand with me
You put my feet back on the ground
Did you know you brought me around?
You were sweet and you were sound
You saved me
08. We Can Work It Out - The Beatles (Ron/Hermione)
Because they can never seem to stop tearing each other's hair out.
Try to see it my way
Do I have to keep on talking till I can't go on?
While you see it your way
Run the risk of knowing that our love may soon be gone
We can work it out
Life is very short and there's no time
For fussing and fighting, my friend
I have always thought that it's a crime
So I will ask you once again
Try to see it my way
09. I Can't Give You Anything But Love - Billie Holiday (Remus/Tonks)
But she doesn't care that he's poor. :)
I can't give you anything but love, baby
That's the only thing I've plenty of, baby
Dream a while, scheme a while
We're sure to find
Happiness, and I guess
All those things you've always pined for
Gee, I'd like to see you looking swell, baby
Diamond bracelets woolworth doesn't sell
Till that lucky day
I can't give you anything but love
10. Age of Consent - New Order (Severus/Hermione)
Won't you please let me go
These words lie inside they hurt me so
And I'm not the kind that likes to tell you
Just what I want to do
I'm not the kind that needs to tell you
Just what you want me to
Do you find this happens all the time
Crucial point one day becomes a crime
And I'm not the kind that likes to tell you
Just what I want to do
11. La La Love You - The Pixies (Ron/Lavender)
This song is quite ironically about anything but real love; Frank Black of the Pixies said so himself.
All I'm saying pretty baby
La la love you, don't mean maybe
All I'm saying pretty baby
First base
Second base
Third base
Home run, yeah
I love you
I do
12. Perhaps Perhaps Perhaps - Doris Day (Ron/Hermione)
You won't admit you love me
And so how am I ever to know?
You always tell me
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps
If you can't make your mind up
We'll never get started
And I don't wanna wind up
Being parted, broken-hearted
13. Little Wing - Jimi Hendrix (Neville/Luna)
Well she's walking through the clouds
With a circus mind that's running round
Butterflies and zebras
And moonbeams and fairy tales
That's all she ever thinks about
Riding with the wind
When I'm sad, she comes to me
With a thousand smiles she gives to me free
It's alright she says, it's alright
Take anything you want from me
Fly on, little wing
14. Lily (My One and Only) - Smashing Pumpkins (James/Lily)
Lily, my one and only
Love is in my heart and in your eyes
Will she or won't she want him?
No one knows for sure
But an officer is knocking at my door
And when I'm with her I feel fine
If I could kiss her I wouldn't mind the time it took to find
My lily, my one and only
Oh lily, I know you love me
Cause as they're draggin me away
I swear I saw her raise her hand and wave
15. La Vie En Rose - Edith Piaf (Bill/Fleur)
Hold me close and hold me fast
The magic spell you cast
This is la vie en rose
When you kiss me, Heaven sighs
And though I close my eyes
I see la vie en rose
Give your heart and soul to me
And life will always be
La vie en rose
16. Creep - Radiohead (Severus/Lily)
When you were here before
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You're so fuckin' special
But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doin' here?
I don't belong here
17. Wild Horses - Charlotte Martin (Sirius/Remus)
I watched you suffer
A dull aching pain
And now you've decided
To show me the same
No sweeping exits
Or offstage lines
Could make me feel bitter
Or treat you unkind
And I have my freedom
But I don't have much time
Fate has been suffered
And tears must be cried
So let's do some living
After we die
18. Send His Love To Me - PJ Harvey
Tonks prays that Remus is all right while he's away with Greyback's followers as a spy. Ginny waits for Harry's safe return after he's gone off to defeat Voldemort. During the war, many will be separated from those they love most and only be able to hope they'll find each other safe again.
Lover had to leave me
Cross the desert plain
Turned to me his lady
Tell me "lover wait"
Wind and rain they haunt me
Look to the North and pray
I'm begging, Jesus, please
Send his love to me
19. Smiley Faces - Gnarls Barkley
"A little more love in the world," as McGonagall put it, can mean everything in a time that evil seems to be winning. One can find happiness and solace in loving someone even during the darkest times.
I notice when you're smiling
Out in the sun having fun and you're feeling free
I can tell you know how hard this life can be
But you keep on smilin' for me
You need something warm to embrace
To help you put on a smiling face
I want to be you whenever I see you smilin'
'Cause it's easily one of the hardest things to do
Your worries and fears become your friends
And they end up smiling at you
