Your Song:Pause the Tragic Ending -- Rachael Yamagata (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPcDwrB86kA) Event: When Harry gives himself up to Voldemort Essay: Why does the song remind you of this event? The song is all about the singer wanting to savor what little time they have left before they sacrifice something they can never have back. The lyrics: "I'd give you blood / If that's what you need to stay alive / You'll be free and I will die" exemplify that completely unselfish ability to give up everything, and reflects Harry's thoughts during that scene. He knew exactly what the costs of his actions were likely to be, but was still willing to give up his life to save the lives of everyone around him. The motivations behind both the singer’s and Harry’s actions are shown towards the end of the song as “[their] tragic ending saves the day.”
