HARRY POTTER MIXTAPE
This is my second mixtape featuring probably my favorite ship of all time: Ron and Hermione! :) Anyway, this mix doesn't surround any particular book out of the series, but instead, it is a mix that describes their general relationship: the ups, the downs, and especially the moments where they keep their feelings towards one another a secret.
COVER AND TRACKLIST PREVIEWS
TITLE - I'd Lose It All For You
SUBJECT - Ron & Hermione; general.
No. OF SONGS - 10 [1 .mp3, 3 .wma and 6 .m4a]
OTHER NOTES - Most tracks are in M4A format, there are a few WMA and MP3s, but not many--those will be indicated near the download link. Also, individual songs are included for your convenience, that way, you don't have to download a song already on your computers/notebooks.
I'd Lose It All For You are lyrics from Jon McLaughlin's song, Already In.
001. THE ANIMALS WERE GONE BY DAMIEN RICE - RON/HERMIONE [.WMA FORMAT]
Oh I know that I left you in places of despair / Oh I know that I love you, so please throw down your hair / At night I trip without you, and hope I don't wake up / 'Cause waking up without you is like drinking from an empty cup
I'm a huge fan of Damien Rice's music, so I thought this song fit the Ron and Hermione pairing so well. Anyway, I think this song perfectly describes how much they secretly like each other and if they ever parted ways, love/friendship-wise, they'd be lost and empty without each other.
002. STAY AWAY BY ROONEY - RON'S POINT OF VIEW [.WMA FORMAT]
Make a move on me baby / I cant be the one who's / Always taking chances / See me down / So you get down / No you've got me all wrong / I just want to kiss your lips / And you kiss back / She doesn't know / That I love her / Yes I love her
This is a pretty old song, but it always reminded me of "Ron VS Viktor" and "Ron VS Every one of Hermione's potential love interests". LOL And plus, "She doesn't know / That I love her / Yes I love her" is just perfect, isn't it?
003. CITADEL BY ANNA NALICK - HERMIONE'S POINT OF VIEW [.M4A FORMAT]
Holdin' on to something / That's keepin' me from jumpin' / So afraid to go in alone / Holding up this fortress / With imaginary forces / Longing for a life down below / What if I fall / What if I don't / What if I never make it home / What if I bleed / What if I break / And I find that I can't take / The city below the citadel
Well, I don't know how much this song symbolizes their relationship. To me, it describes Hermione in the sixth book and how she reacts to Ron's relationship with Lavender Brown.
004. ALL WE ARE by ONEREPUBLIC - RON/HERMIONE [.M4A FORMAT]
You're an island and my ship is running ground / I could tear you apart, but it won't break anything that we are, we are / We’ll say our goodbyes you know it’s better that way / We won't break, we won't die / It's just a moment of change / All we are, all we are, is everything that's right / All we need all we need, our love is at a bind
I think this song is pretty self-explanatory itself, right? For instance, no matter the circumstances (good or bad) they're in this together for the long haul, because well, Ron and Hermione: It just makes sense!
005. GETTING INTO YOU by RELIENT K - RON'S POINT OF VIEW [.WMA FORMAT]
Do you know what you are getting yourself into / I'm getting into you / Because you got to me, in a way words can't describe / I'm getting into you / Because I've got to be / You're essential to survive / I'm going to love you with my life
Yes, I do realize that this song is talking about God, but if you look outside the box, this song could be very sweet in a romantic sort of way.
006. NEAR TO YOU by A FINE FRENZY - HERMIONE'S POINT OF VIEW [.M4A FORMAT]
You and I have something different / And I'm enjoying it cautiously / I'm battle scarred, But I am working oh so hard / To get back to who I used to be / He's disappearing, fading steadily / Well, I'm so close to being yours, Won’t you stay with me, please / Near to you, I am healing
Again, I had to add another song by A Fine Frenzy! To me, this song represents the peculiarity in the R/HR ship: They're complete opposites, yet they complete each other, after all, opposites do attract. **
007. WONDERWALL by RYAN ADAMS - RON/HERMIONE [.MP3 FORMAT]
I don't believe that anybody feels / The way I do about you now / And all the roads we have to walk along are winding / And all the lights that lead us there are blinding / There are many things that I would / Like to say to you / I don't know how / Because maybe you're gonna be the one who saves me? / And after all / You're my wonderwall
This is a cover for the Oasis song, Wonderwall, so it's a lot more mellow and "softer" and it's all acoustic, this one, which is just as lovely as the original! Anyway, I think this song could perfectly describe the notion that in the end, there's only one person for Ron and one person for Hermione: each other.
008. ALREADY IN by JON MCLAUGHLIN - RON'S POINT OF VIEW [.M4A FORMAT]
And everyone back my heart's at war / With all the plans I had before / And I'm losing my grip, but I'd lose it all for you / So I go driving all around / I'm denying all these sounds that hit my ear / Drum the beat of a heart I can't defeat / So it's already in my mind / And I'm in over my head inside / And it's already in my mind, inside
I thought this song was really sweet in terms of how Ron feels about Hermione. In my opinion, it really does give the R/Hr pairing a sweeter perspective. FYI - Jon McLaughlin has been compared to The Fray, so fans of The Fray would probably like this song for the lovely piano sequences and meaningful lyrics!
009. PUSH by SARAH MCLACHLAN - HERMIONE'S POINT OF VIEW [.M4A FORMAT]
Every time I look at you the world just melts away / All my troubles all my fears dissolve in your affections / You've seen me at my weakest but you take me as I am / And when I fall you offer me a softer place to land / You stay the course you hold the line you keep it all together / You're the one true thing I know I can believe in / You're all the things that I desire, you save me, you complete me / You're the one true thing I know I can believe
The words of this song are incredibly sweet and romantic, much like Sarah McLachlan's other songs. But anyway, like track eight in this mix, this is how Hermione feels about Ron.
010. NAKED AS WE CAME by IRON AND WINE - RON/HERMIONE [.M4A FORMAT; read lyrics from columns 1 to 2]
For some reason, aside from the short mention of sleeping children, I can picture this song perfectly for the epilogue written in book seven when Hermione and Ron are finally married! Other than that, this song is very beautiful in my opinion--right down to the lyrics, music, and even the singer's voice!
She says "wake up, it's no use pretending"
I'll keep stealing, breathing her.
Birds are leaving over autumn's ending
One of us will die inside these arms
Eyes wide open, naked as we came
One will spread our ashes 'round the yard She says "If I leave before you, darling
Don't you waste me in the ground"
I lay smiling like our sleeping children
One of us will die inside these arms
Eyes wide open, naked as we came
One will spread our ashes round the yard

** Nothing to do with Harry Potter or Ron/Hermione, but I also imagined, Near To You by A Fine Frenzy to be very Jacob/Bella-esque, however, in terms that are more ... well, for lack of better words, depressing and you can't help sympathizing with Jacob and his unrequited love for Bella.
