Just thought I'd share something - I was reading the portion of OoP 
near the end where Harry had was wandering the school grounds 
feeling very alone and disillusioned and basically just trying to 
find himself within his own skin once again.  It was in the 
aftermath of Sirius' death and I believe also after his meeting with 
DD.  Anyway, it was such a powerful moment and I just lost it.  
During this time, a song came on my playlist that full expressed the 
isolation of the moment and Harry's grappling with loss.  Were I 
making the film myself, this would definitely be the track I'd 
choose.  Anyway, just thought I'd share.  Check it out.  If you 
can't, here are the lyrics... 


THE OTHER SIDE by David Gray

Meet me on the other side
Meet me on the other side
I'll see you on the other side
See you on the other side

Honey now if I'm honest
I still don't know what love is
Another mirage folds into the haze of time recalled
And now the floodgates cannot hold
All my sorrow all my rage
A tear DROP falls on every page

Meet me on the other side
Meet me on the other side

Maybe I oughta mention
It was never my intention
To harm you or your kin
Are you so scared to look within
The ghosts are crawling on our skin
We may race and we may run
We'll not undo what has been done
Or change the moment when it's gone

Meet me on the other side
Meet me on the other side
I'll see you on the other side
I'll see you on the other side

I know it would be outrageous
To come on all courageous
And offer you my hand
To pull you up on to dry land
When all I got is sinking sand
The trick ain't worth the time it buys
I'm sick of hearing my own lies
And love's a raven when it flies

Meet me on the other side
Meet me on the other side
I'll see you on the other side

Honey now if I'm honest
I still don't know what love is
 

Stac (still reeling...)
