You know, I had originally heard this song as the full version with Ministry of Magic and I liked it, but I feel like this acoustic version fits the song so much more than the full production MoM song. I think this is just so beautiful and so heartfelt. It's one of those songs that clearly relates back to Potter but doesn't HAVE to, and that's what I love about it. Thank you, you're wonderful.
I've listened to this countless times over the last days...love it. Not just a song for Potter fans (even though I am a huge one), this is one of those songs that applies to battles we all go through eventually. Keep it up!
Ministry of Magic is definitely my favorite band (wrock or not) ever. I love this song so much, even the regular version, but something about hearing you sing this acoustically just makes my day. This is wonderful. :)
This is unequivocally my favourite MoM song. I was mouthing the lyrics the entire time. Your voice especially sounded wonderful in both the original version, and this one. Thank you for this.
Is it sad that I started crying when I listened to this? I like this one just as much as the MoM version but this one is somehow--to me--more touching on a few levels.
I love this song. I keep getting it stuck in other people's heads. :) Then they find out it's HP related and their like "whaaaaat?!" but then it's too late! They love it too!"
I love this song. Actually, no. love isn't strong enough. I'm OBSESSED with this song. The fact that it's about Harry Potter, makes it even that more awesome. But seriously, this is amazing. I can't stop singing it
@theryanseiler uhm, I can't buy from Amazon MP3 either, I'm in Brazil, it doesn't work for us here. I'll get the hard copy then, that works! Thanks! =)
I love the acoustic version!! I think I may like it more than the original! I know that I like the chorus on this one better. It makes it more powerful!
holy crap..all those views and not one dislike? that's incredible! this song is awesome tho..i've been listening to ministry of magic all day. this band kicks frikkin ass ^^
I LOVE the original, but this acoustic rendition is every bit as good. Absolute kudos, Ryan, your voice is powerful and perfect for this song. Like SMK5885 I'd love the chords sometime, too!
I love this song because it really shows the urgency and the battle between hope and hopelessness that I loved about the 7th book. So beautiful. And also, the my baby video was wonderful. :)
@KirstyThePie Oh how I wish that was sustainable! However, many years of giving away my music has proved it is not. I so enjoy being generous where I am able. I'm glad you love the tune, thanks for listening!
@theryanseiler ryan does spotify give artists much money compared to buying albums because i listen to all your music on my premium account, but it still feels the music is "free" and i haven't supported you!
I didn't know this was a music video until the end so I just had it playing while I did my math homework so I had to play it again to see the actual video. No regrets. :)
Wish there was a LOVE button!! :D
