A Snapey Playlist
My friend and co-beta Djinn swears by writing while listening to appropriate music. She knows I have a wide song collection but not a clue about these things--so she made me a playlist to make a compilation to listen to while writing my WIP. I think though it works for any Hermione/Snape story--and I loved her list so much I thought I'd share it, along with snippets of the lyrics and available online samples of the music. (Hey sometimes whole vids, cuz You Tube is amazing)
1. “Going Down in Flames” ~ 3 Doors Down
Don’t tell me what to think
Cause I don’t care this time
Don’t tell me what you believe
Cause you won’t be there
To catch me when I fall
But you’ll need me when I’m not here at all
Miss me when I’m gone again, yeah.
Full Lyrics
2. “Gravity” ~ Vienna Teng
...these are the scars that words have carved on me.
Full Lyrics
3. “Seasons to Cycles” ~ 10 Years
You build your walls for me to climb/A billion walls for me to climb.
Full Lyrics
4. “Maybe” ~ Alison Krauss (artist's own video)
Tell me that I'm smart enough to deal with all the information
Spinning inside my head, every word he ever said.
Full Lyrics
5. “In Closing” ~ 12 Stones
Nothing that you ever say could ever possibly
Erase All the hateful things you did and now I'm
Through with you.
Full Lyrics
6. “On To You” ~ Angela Michael
You are the evil tempter, robed in black
with your sly interpretations that I lack
You lead to insecurities that I possess deep
And you find them, and you taunt me.
You know how get to me and pull me in down with you.
You know how get to me, but I'm finally on to you.
You come unannounced and rummage through my brain throwing things up all in my face
Try to convince me to let down my guard and you jab me with another fine retort

7. “Hang On” ~ Seether
I gave my life away
There’s nothing left to say
Full Lyrics
8. “The Color of the Night” ~ Lauren Christy
'Cause all I want is just once
To see you in the light
But you hide behind
The color of the night
Full Lyrics
9. “Shed My Skin” ~ Alter Bridge
Left the past unspoken
Those years
Oh they haunt me still
Shed my skin
Full Lyrics
10. “Temple” ~ Beverly Klass
The night has lived too long
I will find a way
We'll stand in the sun
Full Lyrics
11. “White Shadows” ~ Coldplay
When I was a young boy I tried to listen
And I wanna feel like that
Little white shadows
blink and miss them
Part of a system, I am
Full Lyrics
12. “Truth and Bone” ~ Heather Nova
I move through the day in the rhythm that I've known.
I've got this crazy dream of stripping down to truth and bone.
Full Lyrics
13. “I am an Illusion” ~ Rob Thomas
Take back my unkind words
Lay that weight on me instead
I'm the place where everything turns sour
Full Lyrics
14. “Into the Night” ~ Jade Redd
Into the night, I'll walk through this fire
Into the night, I'll lay down my sword
Into the night, the truth is unfolding
Full Lyrics
15. “Right Before Your Eyes” ~ Hoobastank
For understanding is all that I earn
What is for sure is I’m gonna to go
I’m gonna to live and I’m going to learn

16. “Nothing Else Matters” ~ Bif Naked
Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
And nothing else matters
Full Lyrics
17. “Mad World” ~ from movie Donnie Darko
Full Lyrics
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, No one knew me
Hello teacher tell me whats my lesson
Look right through me, Look right through me
Chorus
And I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying, Are the best I've ever had
18. “Breath Me” ~ Sia
Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
UNFOLD me
Full Lyrics
19. “The End Has Come” ~ Ben Moody
Took from me all that I had
With my soul and spirit dead
Killing everything in me
What is one use to be free
