011. ...they fell in love and saved the world: a neville/luna fanmix
Whee! Back! Finally!
When It got to be July, and I realized that OMG--Harry Potter was coming out, I had to make a mix for my two favorite characters and OTP. They're just so bumbly cute, I couldn't help myself. They make me smile everytime I see them on screen and on the page.
It's somewhat chronical, going from their beginnings at Hogwarts, to long after they've gotten together. There's speculation as to what happened between Half-Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows, as well as a few implied spoilers for Deathly Hallows. Nothing explicit, though. If you haven't finished the book, it's not going to kill you to look at this mix.
As for the music, some of these songs as...wacky-ish. The kind of stuff Luna would love right off the bat, and that Neville would take a little time getting used to. There's a nice mix of upbeat and slower songs, and 90% are not angsty! Yay for happiness! I've left comments on a few of the songs, just beause I can.
Once again, there are NO explicit spoilers, but there are SOME implied spoilers. Use your judgement^^
1. Weird Friendless Kid--Emiliana Torrini
Weird friendless kid
You don't know where you live
No one knows a thing about you
No one ever did
Weird friendless kid
You might be weird but you're not stupid
2. Telescope Eyes--Eisley
With your telescope eyes, metal teeth
I can't be seen with you, you freak
Go cry, go run away
Let your short legs carry you away
With your big dress and your dirty hair
Your pen's waiting for you
Just get far, far away from me
I don't want your disease
Please don't make me cry
Please don't make me cry
I'm just like you
I know you know
I'm just like you
So Leave Me Alone
This is probably the most fitting song I've ever heard about Neville, or Luna.
It addresses all of their insecurities (not to mention that it's just a fantastic song, too!).
3. Something To Talk About--Badly Drawn Boy
I've been dreaming
All the things I've learned about a boy
Who's bleeding
Celebrate to elevate
The joy is not the same without the pain
I see this as something that Luna would say to Neville.
You've got to get through the pain to get to the happiness.
4. 7/4 (Shoreline)--Broken Social Scene
It's a shoreline
It's high speed
Its a cruel world
And it's time
And you want to get away
Oh where to go to
When you want to get it out
Oh how to get through
If you want to get it all
You can own what you choose
And you want to live a lie
And love what you lose
All about Neville choosing between the life his Grandmother
(and the school) wants for him, and what he wants.
5. Always Love--Nada Surf
But always love
Hate will get you every time
Always love
Even when you want to fight
In my head, this is Luna telling Neville that Bellatrix isn't worth the fight.
They both know he's better than her.
6. This Will Be Our Year--OK Go
Don't let go of my hand
Now the darkness has gone
This will be our year
Took a long time to come
7. The Shins--Flake Music
Is it too near when they're nice?
Is that why there's sand in your eyes?
Don't wait, it's hard to get around when you're old
Blow me a kiss and we'll try
We'll scale the walls and go five miles high
They make the jump from best friends to more than that.
8. Love Me Like The World Is Ending--Ben Lee
This is the first day of the future
And all i want is you
I wear a pair of socks you left here
But i know, i know, i know, nobody could ever fill your shoes
I can see so clearly when your smoke gets in my eyes
Please me with your promises and hurt me with your lies
Baby can you hear the message i am sending?
Love me like the world is ending
This is the last day of existence And all i want is you
9. Tokyo--The Books
Mostly Instrumental, with random Japanese that isn't important
This is one of Luna's favorite songs in my mind. She'd love the instrumentation in this piece,
and would play it all the time for Neville. He'd grugingly start to like it.
10. In An Aeroplane Over The Sea--Neutral Milk Hotel
And one day we will die
And our ashes will fly
From the aeroplane over the sea
But for now we are young
Let us lay in the sun
And count every beautiful thing we can see
Love to be
In the arms of all I'm keeping here with me
Content to be with each other, Neville and Luna are enjoying the present.
11. Be Still My Heart--The Postal Service
I thought, be still my heart
This could be a brand new start with you
And it will be clear if I wake up
And you're still here with me in the morning
12. Arthur C. Clarke's Mysterious World--The Divine Comedy
I don't understand her
She doesn't make any sense to me
I don't understand her
It's like she's speaking in Swahili
Ha ha ha ha ha. This song would totally earn Neville a slap.
13. Love and Other Planets--Adem
Come with me
There's something you should see
In the evening sky
Put on your warmest coat
We'll be breathing ghosts
And they don't want us to see
So they join the clouds
Which clot above our heads
But on a clear night
If you look close enough
You can just make out
Love
And other planets
We are not alone
Awwwww...I can picture Luna doing this for Neville. Isn't that disgustingly sweet?
14. Miette--DeVotchKa
Instrumental
Another song Luna would adore. It's very "magical" sounding.
15. Let's Do Everything For The First Time Forever--Of Montreal
May we dance again
So I can pretend we're dancing for the first time?
Because when we danced for the first time
I was so nervous
I could hardly stay on my feet
My felicity must not have been very discreet
Will you give me your hand
So i can pretend I'm holding it for the first time?
Let's do everything for the first time forever
And if forever you are my friend
I'll never ever feel unhappy again.
Collective "aw," everyone? This is just the cheeriest song I've ever heard,
and has a stanza for each character. This one is Neville's.
16. The Way I Am--Ingrid Michaelson
If you were falling, then I would catch you
You need a light, I'd find a match
Cuz I love the way you say good morning
And you take me the way I am
This entire song fits Luna to a 'T.' She's just appreciative that
Neville loves her for who she is.
17. Pretty The World--Matt Nathanson
Show me how pretty the world is
Cause I envy the way that you move
Show me how pretty the world is
Cause I want something just a little bit louder
He wants to see and understand how she views the world.
18. Ride--Cary Brothers
If I told you you were right
Would you take my hand tonight?
If I told you the reasons why
Would you leave your life and ride?
19. She--Hummingfish
She looked right at you
And smiled and asked your name
You couldn't know that your heart would never be the same
She is not what you expected
You thought you were garrisoned
You had all your sides well-protected
She is more than she seemed; asks more than a dream
Nothing less than everything
She gives you more than you knew you wanted
Now what you're wanting you never, ever had before
Real, true, imperfect love
A summary of their love story. Neville wasn't looking for anyone to
change his life. It just happened. A complete surprise.
20. Each Coming Night--Iron and Wine
Will you say to them when I'm gone away
"I loved your son for his sturdy arms
We both learned to cradle then live without"
