The Soundtrack: Harry Potter and the Legacy of the Light

'Soundtrack?' you may ask, with some degree of surprise. 'Why should
this story need a soundtrack?' Well, to be perfectly honest, it doesn't, but
that's certainly not going to stop me from creating one specifically for it.

This is not a real soundtrack, so to speak. It's merely a collection of music
that I feel is appropriate for the story. And if the author doesn't determine
what music is appropriate, then I really don't know who else would.

I'm open to suggestions for new music, though. If you have a piece of
music that you feel is appropriate for a specific chapter or character,
please let me know. I'll post it here so others can have a listen as well.

Against the Wind - Maire Brennan
A wall strong in numbers
Burns the midnight candle
The brave arm in arm
Stands before them now
Up against the wind
Old ways up against the wind

The game is in their hands
Calling out the colour
Togetherness their courage
Recognize the power
Make a stand before them
Old ways follow the beaten track
Against the wind
Against the wind

Defying their leaders
Holding out for free will
The strong dare to echo
Nothing can stop
Nothing can stop us now
Up against the wind
Old ways up against the wind

The game is in your hands
Reach for every moment
In rising generations
Capturing the change
Make a stand before them
Old ways follow the beaten track
Against the wind
Against the wind
Against the wind
Against the wind

Modern Crusaders - Enigma
(Michael Cretu)
Don't look back
The time has come
All the pain turns into love
We're not submissive, we're not aggressive
But they think we can't defend
Stand up, join us, modern crusaders alive
We have the power to face the future
Cause we are the fighters
Just fighting for our rights
They're accusing, like always without knowing
What is just fiction or what is the truth
They have no mission, they have no passion
But they dare to tell us what's bad and what's good!
Stand up, join us, modern crusaders alive
We have the power who'll face the future
Cause we are the fighters
Just fighting for our fights

Stand up, join us, modern crusaders alive
We have the power who'll face the future
Cause we are the fighters
Just fighting for our fights
Stand up, join us, modern crusaders alive!

Land of Confusion - Genesis
I must've dreamed a thousand dreams
Been haunted by a million screams
I can hear the marching feet
They're moving into the street

Now did you read the news today
They say the danger's gone away
But I can see the fire's still alight
Burning into the night

There's too many men
Too many people
Making too many problems
And not much love to go round
Can't you see
This is a land of confusion

This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth living in

Oh, Superman, where are you now
Everything's gone wrong somehow
The men of steel, men of power
Are losing control by the hour

This is the time
This is the place
So we look for the future
But there's not much love to go round
Tell me why, this is a land of confusion

This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth living in

I remember long ago -
When the sun was shining
The stars were bright
All through the night
And the sound of your laughter
As I held you tight
So long ago....

I won't be coming home tonight
My generation will put it right
We're not just making promises
That we know, we'll never keep

Too many men
Too many people
Making too many problems
And not much love to go round
Can't you see
This is a land of confusion.

This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth fighting for.

This is the world we live in
And these are the names we're given
Stand up and let's start showing
Just where our lives are going to....

Piove sull'oceano
Piove sull'oceano
Piove sulla mia identità
Lampi sull'oceano
Lampi sull'oceano
Squarci di luminosità

Forse là in America
I venti del Pacifico
Scoprono le sue immensità
Le mie mani stringono
Sogni lontanissimi
E il mio pensiero corre da te

Remo, tremo, sento
Profondi, oscuri abissi...

E' per l'amore che ti do
E' per l'amore che non sai
Che mi fai naufragare
E' per l'amore che non ho
E' per l'amore che vorrei
E' per questo dolore
E' questo amore che ho per te
Che mi fa superare queste vere tempeste

Onde sull'oceano
Onde sull'oceano
Che dolcemente si placherà
Le mie mani stringono
Sogni lontanissimi
E il tuo respiro soffia su di me

Remo, tremo, sento
Vento intorno al cuore

E' per l'amore che ho per te
Che mi fa superare mille tempeste
E' per l'amore che ti do
E' per l'amore che vorrei
Da questo mare
E' per la vita che non c'è
Che mi fai naufragare
In fondo al cuore
Tutto questo ti avrà
E a te sembrerà tutto normale

It rains upon the Ocean
It rains upon the Ocean
It rains upon my identity
Lightning on the Ocean
Lightning on the Ocean
Gaps of luminosity

Maybe there in America
the winds of the Pacific
Uncover its immensity
My hands hold tight
some faraway dreams
And my thoughts run to you

I row, I shake, I feel
The deep, dark abyss...

It's for the love that I give you
and for the love that you don't know
that makes me founder
It's for the love that I don't have
and for the love that I would want
It's for this pain
It's for this love I have for you
That makes me overcome those real storms

Waves upon the Ocean
Waves upon the Ocean
that will calm down, gently
My hands hold tight
some faraway dreams
and your breath blows upon me

I row, I shake, I feel
A wind around my heart

It's for the love I have for you
That makes me overcome countless storms
It's for the love that I give you
and for the love that I would want
from this sea
It's for the life that isn't there
that makes me founder
in the depths of my heart
All of this will have you
and to you, everything will seem normal

After the Fall - October Project
In a city of faces
That never look back
Where doors never open
And eyes never meet
Someone behind me was tracing my steps
As I ran
Through the fog down a cobblestone street

In a city of crossroads
That never lead home
Where secrets unravel
And fates intertwine
Someone was calling my name in the night
As I ran
From a voice that was echoing mine

The farther you run
The more you recall
The loss of your innocence
After the fall
The farther you run
The more you recall
After the fall...

In a city of magic
That spins out of time
Where God has no image
And Man finds no grace
Something inside me was seeking itself
As I ran
From a shadow who'd stolen my face

The farther you run
The more you recall
The loss of your innocence
After the fall
The farther you run
The more you recall
After the fall...

Qui c'e il buio fuori di me
ed anche un po dentro di me...
che assurdita questa citta
senza persone!

Io non so spiegar neanche come
ma non e questa la mia dimensione,
e la mia mente non e mai in pace,
e sempre altrove.

Tu dove sei? La tua voce dov'e?
Senza di te, senza il tuo aiuto
che sara di me?

Tutto sembrera migliore
alla luce che verra dal sole!
Questa notte passera,
il buio che c'e si dissolvera!

Si vedranno le colline,
io continuero a cercare te!

Via da questa malinconia,
invidia o rabbia che sia.
Qui nel mio cuore
non voglio piu queste parole.

Tu dove sei? Il tuo sorriso dov'e?
Senza di te, senza il tuo amore
che sara di me?

Tutto sembrera migliore
alla luce che verra dal sole!
Questa notte passera,
il buio che c'e si dissolvera!

E alla luce di quel sole
Io continuero a cercare te!

Tutto sembrera migliore,
alla luce, al sole.
Il silenzio morira,
la gente che c'e si confondera.

E alla luce di quel sole
Io continuero a cercare te!

Darkness lies outside me, here,
And a bit inside as well...
How absurd is this
empty, deserted city!

I can't really explain how,
But this is NOT my dimension,
And my mind never finds comfort,
It is always somewhere else.

But you... where are you? Where's your voice?
What about me if I don't have you,
If I don't get your help?

Everything will look better,
Under the light that will come from the sun!
This night will be gone,
Darkness will fade out!

The hills will be seen,
I will go on looking for you.

Away from this melancholy,
Envy or rage alike.
I don't want these words anymore
To be here in my heart

But you... where are you? Where's your smile?
What about me if I don't have you,
If I don't get your love?

Everything will look better,
Under the light that will come from the sun!
This night will be gone,
Darkness will fade out!

And under the light of that sun
I will go on looking for you.

Everything will look better,
Under the light, under the sun,
Silence will die,
People there will feel confused.

And under the light of that sun
I will go on looking for you.
