Meme time: Their Song

[lokifan_import]

Aaargh. Today was going to be a writing day but I've barely squeezed out 300 words, and the stuff I was working on, I cannot currently get to :( Even the embarrassing fic which, since it is embarrassing and id-y and has no smut in it, I feel like I would write quickly. (I am having some sort of bizarre smut block.)

So I am going to do a meme! Plz entertain me, you guys. I'm in the mood for a music-related one, since I'm really enjoying hyperdarkchoc92 and kubrick_potter's 30-Day Music Memes.

Post a comment with a character or pairing and I'll tell you what song reminds me of them.

...Not all my posts can be interesting, okay? :p

I want to know the Snaco-Song, please. :D

That's one I don't really have a perfect song for, as it happens. I tend to listen for shades of it in mentor-type songs but there aren't many.

So my answer is quite embarrassing, but the one that came to mind is Lua by Bright Eyes.

When everything is lonely I can be my own best friend...
The mask I polish in the evening, by the morning looks like shit.

And I know you have a heavy heart; I can feel it when we kiss
So many men stronger than me have thrown their backs out trying to lift it
But me I'm not a gamble you can count on me to split
The love I sell you in the evening, by the morning won't exist.

You're looking skinny like a model with your eyes all painted black
You just keep going to the bathroom always say you'll be right back
Well it takes one to know one, kid, I think you've got it bad
But what's so easy in the evening, by the morning is such a drag...

And I'm not sure what the trouble was that started all of this
The reasons all have run away but the feeling never did
It's not something I would recommend, but it is one way to live
Cause what is simple in the moonlight, by the morning never is
What's so simple in the moonlight, now is so complicated
What's so simple in the moonlight, so simple in the moonlight



I can really feel it as a Snape song, where he's kind of hopeless from all his years of spying and he can see how Draco is fraying under the pressure of being a Death Eater, but they're fucking regularly and it's simple then. And he's sort of telling himself he doesn't mind that Draco's in love with him and he still can't save the boy. It's not something I would recommend, but it is one way to live.

I didn't know that song... or its emo-reputation. But I'm always interested in what the perfect song for Snaco could be, because I don't have one. :( I'm really fond of your explanation why it fits so well. I do love that interpretation of the pairing. :D

No happy song for them, though? Not even Potions Yesterday? :D

*grins* Well, Bright Eyes is just known as an emo kind of dude :D But whatever, Snape's an emo kind of bloke, and I just love the idea that spying would make it so even something relatively sincere had him going the love I sell you in the moonlight, by morning won't exist.

LOL. Potions Yesterday can be their happy song! I will try to think of a cuddly one - I do actually have a shameful, mad love for Snaco fluff.
