What Songs Remind You of Severus Snape and/or His Relationships?
Quote from Naaga on March 30, 2023, 12:00 amAn italian singer made a whole song dedicated to snily along with a music video for it 🥺 it's called sempre by emanuele aloia if you wanna see it.
That video is sweet with the doe patronus. I am going to have to take a few more listens to get a better understanding.
I am slowly making my way through the songs, but I will add another one. Back to 70s. This is by Gordon Lighfoot who was a Canadian singer. This is one of my favorite songs of all time. One that I can listen to over and over without getting tired of. But why does this remind me of Severus. I think of him being so tired by the end of the series. Not dead. This song, for me, is him speaking to his fans or the author. There is a part that mentions "'Bout a ghost from a wishing well", which many have come to believe it refers to an Abbot and Costello movie The Time of Their Lives, where a ghost can not move on because he has to prove his innocence of not being a trader in the US Revolutionary War. This also makes me think of Severus because I believe if he would have survived that he would have been subject to prove his innocence to the ministry and others. Enough of my take on the song. I do like a lot of Gordon Lighfoot's songs, because they paint pictures in my head.
Sherina - first Love and Last Love
From talented singer in my country
When I first hearing it,it felt like "this song is so romantic,the girl first love is their last love
https://youtu.be/5SA1E4yZgNg?si=KdQYFzumH5q0xKRE
But after I listening and read lyrics carefully...
"Wait,this song is like Severus love"
Before he met lily,all the life who sing this song is empty and in dark life
Yet because existence of Someone,all his Doubt, tears of Loneliness is gone
And the singer declare that when she saw his smile,making her realize,that person is her first love and last love
I title this ''The Piano Equivalent of 5th Year Severus Snape hunched over his DADA o.w.l. and Blowing Everyone Else's Exam Responses Out of the Water'' 🙂
Every time I hear this song I think Severus, Lily and Petunia. I guess because it is about a boy who is friends with the younger sister and they are spy on the older sister. It also takes place in UK during 1970s. I can specially tell with posters on the wall. I think one of them is Donny Osmond who was a popular teen idol in the 1970s both in the UK and America. I am not a Severus/Petunia shipper, but this might make an interesting fan fiction.

Snape, after killing Dumbledore
I didn't properly appreciate this one at first, but then the original video popped up in my YouTube feed and it really hit home.
I deleted this one earlier because it made my musician husband cringe and drag his hands down his face. (Pop music isn't his thing.)
But on further consideration, I've decided to re-post it, because I'm amused by how the song is supposed to be romantic, but really the video just makes me think of a pissed off James Potter stalking Snape. (Just swap the shades for big black round Harry Potter glasses.)
The copper/red tones in the video remind me of Lily. And the black boots of Snape.
Here is a translation of the Severus Snape-relevant portions of the lyrics.
Opening Quote: "He who has never learned to say, 'Her, and no one else' -- does he know, truly, what love is?'
In your eyes, I saw...
and I felt you closer for a moment.
I gave everything I had...
The days go by, and I dream of a color for every season.
This sadness...
A reflection of light...
An echo of life, distant words.
...
In your eyes, I saw...
And I felt you closer for a moment.
...
Only with you did I see a future.
Before, even the sky seemed more ethereal;
Now it’s shrouded, as if by smoke.
I blow the dust from your heart.
Swear to me that I’ll see you return.
...
I wish you were here
...
You, who saw a thousand museums within me;
I, who saw only empty corridors.

Glad you did. What instrument does your husband play or is he a singer?
