Title: Valiant
Fandom: Harry Potter
Subject: Gryffindor House
Notes: Made as part of My 12 Months of Harry Potter Challenge with
familiardevil , for March's prompt of Houses: Gryffindor. Gryffindor's my favorite house, and I've tried to represent all the things I love about them- their courage, their recklessness, their stubbornness, their naivete, and their love for each other- in this mix. This mix touches upon both the first and second wars. Happy listening! Feedback is good karma. (:
Stats: Mix contains individual uploads of nine songs, a .zip of all songs, and front and back covers.
ONE || Timshel - Mumford and Sons
And death is at your doorstep
And it will steal your innocence
But it will not steal your substance
But you are not alone in this
And you are not alone in this
As brothers we will stand and we'll hold your hand
Hold your hand
And you are the mother
The mother of your baby child
The one to whom you gave life
And you have your choices
And these are what make man great
TWO || Quiet Houses - Fleet Foxes
Don't give in
Don't give in
Don't give in
Don't give in
THREE || Sons of Liberty - Frank Turner
But a sorry cloud of tyranny has fallen across the land
Brought on by hollow men, who did not understand
That for centuries our forefather have fought and often died
To keep themselves unto themselves, to fight the rising tide
And that if in the smallest battles we surrender to the state
We enter in a darkness whence we never shall escape
When they raise their hands up our lives to possess
To know our souls, to drag us down, we'll resist.
Stand up Sons of Liberty and fight for what you own
Stand up Sons of Liberty and fight, fight for your homes.
FOUR || Us - Regina Spektor
they'll name a city after us
and later say it's all our fault
then they'll give us a talking to
then they'll give us a talking to
cause they've got years of experience
FIVE || You've Got the Love - Florence + the Machine
Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough
And things go wrong no matter what I do
Now and then it seems that life is just too much
But you've got the love I need to see me through
SIX || I Wish I Was a Punk Rocker (With Flowers in my Hair) - Sandi Thom
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
In 77 and 69 revolution was in the air
I was born too late into a world that doesn't care
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
SEVEN || Holland, 1945 - Neutral Milk Hotel
But now we must pick up every piece
Of the life we used to love
Just to keep ourselves
At least enough to carry on.
And now we ride the circus wheel
With your dark brother wrapped in white
Says it was good to be alive
But now he rides a comet's flame
And won't be coming back again
He didn't mean to make you cry
With sparks that ring and bullets fly
On empty rings around your heart
The world just screams and falls apart
EIGHT || Hospital Beds - Cold War Kids
Put out the fire, boys
Don't stop, don't stop
Put out the fire on us
Put out the fire, boys
Don't stop, don't stop
Put out the fire on us
Bring the buckets by the dozens
Bring your nieces and your cousins
Come put out the fire on us
NINE || Sons and Daughters - The Decemberists
Take up your arms
Sons and daughters
We will arise from the bunkers
By land, by sea, by dirigible
We'll leave our tracks untraceable now.
Here all the bombs fade away
Here all the bombs fade away
