Here's "Missing You." Then I'll take a closer look at your most recent posts, acciosirius and Swish_and_Flick.
"Missing You" Written by AJ Holmes HARRY: I can't remember Dad And I can't remember Mum Aunts and uncles aren't quite the same But I had him And life seemed fair Yes I had him He was there To give me strength Show concern Ask for nothing in return Say hello Talk me through Do the things that fathers should do And I'm missing you I'm just missing you QUIRRELL: So there it is, he's gone And he's hung me out to dry The joy he said he felt Well I guess it was a lie When I had him My life was fine When I had him He was mine He'd share his thoughts Be a friend Stick with me until the end Watch a movie Roller-skate Fill the world with fear and hate BOTH: And I'm missing you I'm just missing you Now I'm all alone Now you're gone for good Now I'm stuck right here Wishing I understood HARRY: You gave me hope when my spells weren't right QUIRRELL: You gave me someone to hold every night And I'm missing you HARRY: I'm just missing you QUIRRELL: And I'm missing you HARRY: I'm just missing you ***** acciosirius Re: "Different as Can Be" "And all my Death Eaters" -- Yup, I'll go with that. Looks like we'll need the official version to figure out the rest of Voldemort's list; maybe it will come up in the YouTube sidebar. Re: "Hey Dragon" I agree it's "I never even asked for," and I think it must be "I can't defeat thee." Re: "Voldemort is Going Down" After Ron's "Hyah! Come on, get in a line," the chorus is sung by Ginny as well as Ron and Hermione. And I hear Hermione sing "a fire burning" to Draco. ***** Swish_and_Flick Great job with the compilation! I posted "Missing You" above, so do we have everything now? Awesome. Re: "Going Back to Hogwarts" The official version in the YouTube sidebar says that Harry's first chorus ends "At Hogwarts, Hogwarts. I think I'm going back"; and likewise at the end of the second chorus, the Trio sings "At Hogwarts, Hogwarts. I think we're going back." After reading that, I went back and listened, and I think I can (barely) hear those "I think"s as well as see mouths moving at those points. Please check and see if I'm going crazy (always possible!). Also, after Harry's line "Hey Ron, come on, we're the only friends she's got," the following "And that's cool" is sung by Ron, I think. Re: "Different as Can Be (Reprise)" I agree it's probably "We'll lead him [Harry] to the slaughter" rather than "lead 'em," so I think you can remove your question mark there. Re: "Hey Dragon" Your version differs from accio_sirius's above, so the two of you should figure out how to put it together. Re: "Granger Danger" I see that during the counterpoint in the final verse, you posit that Draco perhaps sings "It's Granger, wake up" instead of "Draco, wake up." I can hear where you're coming from. (It kind of sounds like he says "Rachel, wake up," but who the heck is Rachel?) I chose "Draco, wake up" in my original post because it's what Draco sang during his first verse, but it is unclear; maybe others can say what they hear. Re: "To Dance Again" Just before the final kick-line, I wonder if the Death Eaters are maybe singing "We're gonna take over the world with you / But first there's something we've gotta do." Re: "Voldemort is Going Down" See my notes to acciosirius above. ***** Terrific job, everyone! Thanks to all who have contributed -- acciosirius, Swish_and_Flick, and spock. Looks like we have a few minor wrinkles to iron out, and then perhaps Swish_and_Flick can edit the post above to make it our final version. (And if the rest of the lyrics end up getting posted to the YouTube sidebars, then we can compare with them.)

The soundtrack is online and it is easier to hear from that. They made an actual soundtrack so it must be available to buy somewhere but until we can you can download it here http://www.megaupload.com/?d=MQ96OT01

Hi everyone
 After careful deliberation, the moderators of the Pensieve Parlor have decided to split off the discussions about lyrics for Harry Potter the musical from the YouTube thread since the discussions have been so active and we thought they deserved their own thread  The ideas and propositions about lyrics are wonderful. Many thanks to Bandersnatch and to all of you for posting  I'll just kindly ask, when posting your lyrics or ideas for lyrics to tell us where your ideas came from, and why they would make for great lyrics in an HP musical since the purpose of the threads in the Parlor and across the forums is to generate discussions  If you have any questions, please feel free to PM a moderator. Thanks and happy posting  lirene LL Moderator This post has been edited by lirene: Jun 29 2009, 10:58 PM --------------------  |

Thanks lirene! I'll start the new discussion off by asking everyone a couple of questions about the recent "Harry Potter the Musical" on youtube:
a) what do you think about the fact that the musical has been taken down temporarily b) what do you think will happen with it c) what should it's new title be (the discussion has been raging on their youtube page) I'll go first: obviously I'm sad its been taken down but it makes me extra thankful for that link greenfire and for all of the lyrics here! I'm not sure how the musical will reappear on youtube, but all of their talks about "tweaks" makes me nervous...I'm just trying to stay positive and hope that any changes will be for the better! As for the title, I seriously love whoever came up with "The Musical That Must Not be Named". Not a question that I want everyone's opinion on, but I don't know very much about copyright issues and things like that so would someone who does know enlighten me as to how serious of an infringement the musical was in the first place? I don't understand how some things slip through the cracks...maybe just when they're not as popular? -------------------- Avatar by JeffHpFan
