Dumbledore's Army fanmix
Challenge at fandomverse: make something about your favorite group. So, here's a fanmix about Dumbledore's Army.
Note: this was originally supposed to be fun songs about individual members of the DA (Neville, Luna, Ginny, Seamus, etc.). But, because certain fanworks I've read have SEVERELY colored my view of the DA, it turned into a fanmix about the entire DA as a whole, and about children going to war, and about determination and hope and loss.
So, uh. It got a little heavy. And a bit LONG. Organized into 2 discs; roughly, Disc 1 is about the DA in the days before the Battle of Hogwarts, and Disc 2 is the battle itself and its aftermath. (This was insane to try to organize. I hope it works and makes sense and stuff.)
(Update: songs can now be found here, courtesy of a friend.)
ETA: On 8tracks
Disc 1
01. Twisted Sister - We’re Not Gonna Take It
This is our life, this is our song
We'll fight the powers that be just
Don't pick our destiny 'cause
You don't know us, you don't belong
We're not gonna take it
No, we ain't gonna take it
We're not gonna take it anymore
02. Bob Dylan - The Times They Are a-Changin’
The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin'.
03. Hanson - This Time Around
I've started feeling like I don't want to fight
Give in to the given and put out the light
Cannons a blazing shower these moonlit skies
Then I remember and I know why he died
Do you know why I die
04. Eve6 - Here’s to the Night
Here's to the nights we felt alive
Here's to the tears you knew you'd cry
Here's to goodbye
Tomorrow's gonna come too soon
05. Rolling Stones - Gimme Shelter
War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
06.Beatles - With a Little Help from my Friends
Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends,
Mmm, gonna try with a little help from my friends
Yes I get by with a little help from my friends,
with a little help from my friends
07. Buffalo Springfield - For What It’s Worth
I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
08. Tom Petty - I Won’t Back Down
You can stand me up at the gates of hell
But I won't back down
No I'll stand my ground, won't be turned around
And I'll keep this world from draggin’ me down
gonna stand my ground
... and I won't back down
09. Guns N’ Roses - Civil War
Look at your young men fighting
Look at your women crying
Look at your young men dying
The way they've always done before
10. Flogging Molly - What’s Left of the Flag
His eyes they close and his last breath spoke,
He had seen all to be seen
A life once full, now an empty vase
Wilt the blossoms on his early grave
Walk away me boy, walk away me boy
And by morning we'll be free
11. Within Temptation - Dark Wings
Why was I one of the chosen ones?
Until the fight I could not see
The magic and the strength of my power
It was beyond my wildest dreams
Don't you die on me
You haven't made your peace
Live life, breathe, breathe
Disc 2
01. Billy Joel - Goodnight Saigon
They left their childhood on every acre
And who was wrong? And who was right?
It didn't matter in the thick of the fights
And we would all go down together
We said we'd all go down together
Yes we would all go down together
02. Kansas - Carry On Wayward Son
Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more
03. Chumbawamba - Tubthumping
I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never going to keep me down
I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never going to keep me down
04. Hanson - Make It Out Alive
We may not make it out alive whoa
What does it matter if you’re here by my side?
We may not make it out alive
What does it matter?
It's just a matter of time.
05. Queen - Under Pressure
It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming 'Let me out'
06. New Radicals - You Get What You Give
This whole damn world can fall apart
You'll be ok follow your heart
You're in harm’s way
I'm right behind
07. Within Temptation - Stand My Ground
Though this might just be the ending
Of the life I held so dear
But I won't run,
There's no turning back from here
All I know for sure is I'm trying
I will always stand my ground
08. Metallica - Enter Sandman
Dreams of war, dreams of liars
Dreams of dragon's fire
And of things that will bite, yeah
09. Goldfinger - 99 Red Balloons
99 dreams I have had
In every one a red balloon
It's all over and I'm standin' pretty
In this dust that was a city
If I could find a souvenier
Just to prove the world was here
And here is a red balloon
I think of you and let it go
10. Smashing Pumpkins - Tonight, Tonight
Time is never time at all
You can never ever leave without leaving a piece of youth
And our lives are forever changed
We will never be the same
11. Loreena McKennitt - Dante’s Prayer
When the dark night seems endless
Please remember me
Please remember me
Please remember me
