"Maybe" (Original) from The Prince's Tale

[PrettyGreenGoat]

This is my favorite song on the album. I think. I can't really decide, they;'re all good.

[AccioStarbucks]

@PrettyGreenGoat I understand, it's like when I'm listening to one I think "This one might be my favorite", then the next one starts and I think the exact same thing. :)

[maaneblomme]

@AccioStarbucks That keeps happening to me too... xD

[BuffySummersWannabe]

You introduced me to Wizard Rock...now I'm OBSESSED!

P.S. You are awesome! I love your songs and you have a great voice!

[devilishlypure]

@BuffySummersWannabe Thank you so much!

[maaneblomme]

Another awesome song from an awesome singer. You wrock, Lauren! :D

Nice!

[shelbyelaine120]

Buying this album from you at Leakycon was one of the best decision I ever made <3

[ViolinistForever18]

I wish I could go to your show this weekend in Hamden, but I can't :( And I love this song :) ...And Snape

[LikingThings]

Am I the only one who thinks Lauren always sounds way better in live recordings than in the videos where she records the songs herself?

You're very talented, with a great voice and you write brilliant songs, but I saw Karen Kavett's live recording of you performing this song and I was really blown away by your vocals.

[IHeartKartik]

I'm so glad you played this at LeakyCon! It's what made me buy your album and it's one of my favorites ever!

[lalala8335]

I feel so sorry for Snape :C

[edcellwarrior]

This song is so sad :(

[imanganation]

I don't know how you sang this without crying.

[jennyanime123]

i love snape yay

[imanganation]

I cried like a baby. Jesus Christ this song had me bawling.

[amber6675]

After seeing the movie, when I listen to this, the montage of memories play through my head...especially when he finds Lily at the house and the anguish on his face. Heartwrenching and beautiful at the same time.

[ithelyn]

You are absolutely amazing! I saw you today at the Decatur show (I was in the front in black and a slytherin tie), you were my favorite by far (the others were good too though of course)! I also think its amazing you are basing the entire album on Severus and Lily, I'm buying it in a few days. Keep wrocking! <3

[hyperhellbunnie]

you're incredible, and this song is amazing, keep writing and singing! You have a beautiful voice, and a beautiful soul <3

[celebrian94]

this song made me cry its amazing

[voodoovin1408]

Your sound and look remind me of Ingrid Michaelson

[JoeyGirl90]

This is one of my favorite songs by you Lauren! I look forward to the whole album!

[Horsesandmusic13]

i have never seen anyone whos fav character is Snape...

SO HAPPY I FOUND SOMEONE LIKE ME :D

[aibhlinneeson]

is this meant to be serious or funny? coz im laffn so much

[InEssenceDivided]

@aibhlinneeson Why are you "laffn"? This is a great song!

[autumnfalls090]

Just wanted to let you know that you are AWESOME. Thanks for making so many videos and writing so many songs that make me smile :).

[nathpollen]

My favourite chapter too . :D

I can't wait for the next songs. 

[Lukesperado]

Yeah... this didn't make me cry...

[SNLdude87]

This song just makes me so happy when I hear it. I always loved Snape as a character and my friends all like to hate on him, but I feel like he was just a tortured soul and this song captures that emotion so well. If the rest of the album is as good as this...I'm gonna be blown away.

Great Job, Lauren!

[hpboy13]

Lauren, this was absolutely beautiful! If the rest of your album is gonna be like this, I really can't wait to hear it! Please play this at your next Sidewalk show!

[InEssenceDivided]

I just love this more and more every time I watch it <3

and btw... so my mom hates wrock (she thinks i'm unhealthily hp obsessed, blah blah blah), but i was listening to this today and she really liked it. so that's saying something :)

[InEssenceDivided]

OH! I just love this more and more every time I watch it <3

and btw... so my mom hates wrock (she thinks i'm unhealthily hp obsessed, blah blah blah), but i was listening to this today and she really liked it. so that's saying something :)

[Kingofthenargles13]

Your so awesome when are coming to New York no one ever comes to New York thats awesome it nor fair

[devilishlypure]

@Kingofthenargles13 I'll be there again on february 11th. I play in new york all the time! You should sign up for my mailing list so you don't keep missing me when I'm there.

[jmaster1324]

@devilishlypure you should come to Waco, Texas, that would be legit, oh and I can't belive that there can be a nerdfighter as beautiful as you. Being %100 honest and not trying anything, I'm a nerdfighter and I have girl.

[nickypeeps]

@Kingofthenargles13 People all over the fucking planet come to New York, and most of them come for reasons as petty as wanting to stare at the stupid Coca Cola signs in Times Square. What are you talking about?

[Faithch95]

I saw you last night in Pittsburgh at the John Green event! Good job!

[musicmagicpan]

Half the time when I take a test I either get Slytherin or Gryffindor and one time the test said I had two results and it was Slytherin and Gryffindor so I have declared myself a Slyffindor!

[jelbertie]

This song actually made me cry

It's so amazing <3

[stefaneko]

I am so excited for the new album!!! Do you have a rough idea of when you'll be releasing it, or is it way too early to ask?

[JennieRaeUrban]

Hufflepuffs unite!!

Uh, I mean, I really love this song. And you have a beautiful voice. And you're ridiculously cute. Not meaning to be creepy or anything.

[kira902k]

Ahhh, love love love!

[papergirlthoughts]

The winner takes it all, the loser's standing tall?

It sounds very much like it... well, the verse does :)

[InkyBroadwayGal]

Snape is my absolute favorite character!!!!! I'm getting a tattoo for him!

[RavenclawStudent]

I think I just Snapegasmed.

[Flossran]

So glad you are doing "The Prince's Story"- also my fave chapter. This song is beautiful and sad b/c I know what happens later. It made me cry. Good job!

[thedemonhedgehog]

Beautiful! Snape is my favorite character too. It's sooo awesome that you're doing a Snape album.

[vinceandlilly]

Are you still in the Moaning Myrtles?

[devilishlypure]

@vinceandlilly Yup!

[vinceandlilly]

Are you still in the Moaning Myrtles?

[gingeryoddity]

[k4386]

[Mistsuki]

Hufflepuff!!!!!!

[chinareds54]

13 Death Eaters watched this video.

[strz321]

13 People do not appreciate the sacrifice of the great Severus Snape.

[themistocles1991]

Where in the books does it say when Snape's birthday is?

[devilishlypure]

@themistocles1991 JK Rowling revealed his birthday on her website. It's not in the books.

[thestorminmay]

Love it! Can't wait for more new songs. :D

[RocketPowa12]

It made me want to cry and hug little Snape. Great song.

[ZombieSquirl]

likeing it keep it up .

[Thellamainpajamas]

I have not always been the biggest fan of Snape, even after I read the Prince's Tale. But maybe that's because I was only ten when I read it for the first time. Hearing this song helped me realize what Snape went through. I think I'm going to go back and re-read The Prince's Tale, maybe I'll see Snape in a new light.

[MrsKnowItAll1000]

The song is amazing. I loved it. Can't wait to hear more from the princess tales album

[latestranger]

You are so amazing, Lauren! I really feel like you captured Snape as a kid here, still hopeful. Thank you so much for making this album; I can't wait for it to come out!

[Book5204]

This was great! Really pretty. I saw you comment back so someone that you're a Hufflepuff too! =) Hufflepuff FTW!

[edinmtor190992]

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[purpleeturtle97]

*love*

I SERIOUSLY love their friendship!

[S0cialGhost]

i like the song but coulden't stop looking at you flatening your fingers on that G and Em barre. and i like snape.

[shades2you]

I just cried a little bit, this is so good.

[Infanentdaydreamer]

dear 12 people that disliked this,

wtf!! do you not you like harry potter or what??

sincerely, me

[onenerdyhipster]

I wrote a song about Snape and Lily yesterday and realized how much I love love love writing songs about them. They had such a unique story together and I it's so much fun writing about their relationship.

Oh and thank you for holding your guitar so I can see the chords! :)

[idontdoesntmeaniwont]

I love this song~really amazing :)

((completly off topic but you look great with long hair-you'll look gorgeous at your wedding)) xD

[teri17]

AHHH! He's my favorite too!! This is totally adorable... omg, i think i'm gonna cry...

[teri17]

AHHH! He's my favorite too!!!

[abbs866]

This was wonderful, Lauren. I'm amazed by the emotion you put into it.

This and the chapter following it are my favorite chapters in all the books, too, so I can't wait for the album!

[rikkitikkikimbo]

This song is stellar! Thanks for sharing it Lauren. I will go check my email now for my mp3. :)

[mstwifan4eva]

Love this song!I got chills!Prince's tale is my favorite chapter too!What's ur house?I'm a hufflepuff!

[devilishlypure]

@mstwifan4eva I'm a Hufflepuff too!

[BelleFleur5]

i want this song to play in the background of this part of the movie...

[AvidlyUninspired]

I love this! You are brilliant for making an album with the theme of the memories in the pensieve :)

[forwantofabetterword]

thank you so much for the free download!!! <3 its my new favourite song! thank you and DFTBA! (as if you would) x

[joditraut]

gosh i just love your mailing list :)

[moo88jazz]

I literally can't stop listening to this song! I got the download and just listen to it repeatedly throughout the day... Can't wait for the album :D

When will it be coming out??

[devilishlypure]

@moo88jazz Whenever I finish it. Unfortunately, I can't predict when that will be. :(

[splicegrrl]

this was beautiful. excited for this new project.

[otakubabe555]

This was pretty. :) And Happy Birthday Matt!

[serendipity4212]

Matt and Snape are birthday twins? That's as awesome as this song!

[llamasomething]

Tears. OH THE TEARSSSS.

Brb, bawling. ):

[likesummersnow]

AWWW! i love it!!!

[GumiYummi]

I love how snape would do anything to keep lily safe. He was on voldemort's side until he killed James and Lily. He actually cared for Harry but didn't show it because James and Harry were so alike ;) Snape is such a complex character and your song was perfect. Loved it.

[hugthenerds]

My all time favorite Snape moment. Snape being my favorite character.

Dear Lauren,

I love you for this so much.

Love, Julia. ♥

[BrightenUpEmoBoy]

This really epitomised what Snape felt for Lily - Snape was my favourite character too, and I'm so glad I heard this. You're a very talented song writer. :)

[WeAreTheWeapon]

I can't put into words how excited I am for your new album! I loved the idea when you first told us about it, and after hearing this song I know it's going to be amazing! You did Snape's character justice in my opinion. He has so many sides to him, and you captured the lonely little boy amazingly! I love love love this! I'm so lad I;m on the mailing list and have an mp3. Going on my ipod right now!

[KarlSolenoidIV]

This is adorable. My favourite Snape/Lily song until this point was "A Pensieve Full of Unrequited Love" by the Mudbloods, but this song is definitely a contender. I really enjoy the lyrics. :D

Excited for this album, Lauren!

[xAmyDancerx]

The Prince's Tale is my favourite chapter too!

[carrlozXemiliano]

i was trying to sign up for the mailing list but u need a cell phone number n i dont got one it was disappointing :(

[devilishlypure]

@carrlozXemiliano You don't need a cell phone number. The only mandatory thing on there is email! You can leave out everything else if you'd like, just leave it blank!

[carrlozXemiliano]

@devilishlypure thxs i tried so many times last time n i failed but i did it haha yay!! well loved the song it kinda got to me :'D

[nothingbutrain]

This is so sweet--I absolutely love it!

[ducttapechik]

:D I am so thrilled that you're doing this...that's my favorite chapter, too. (I listen to "The Prince's Tale" from TFB every night before I go to sleep. :B)

[RoryBecktar]

This is some of your best stuff yet. I really like your high range, you stay a lot more consistent up there. Really good, glad I'm on your mailing list!

[AlissaTheSquib]

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Favourite chapter of all the books, it made my bawl like a baby which I don't usually do...

Also, I love how you made the video for a fictonal man's birthday, then threw your fiancee's in as an after thought (not really, we know you love him, it was just cute)

[nerdgrlsquared]

This is a beautiful song. Thanks, Lauren. :)

[JessWavesHello]

Lauren, you neverrr cease to amaze :D

[HalfbloodPrincess72]

Awwwwwwww.

This song made me cry, Lauren.

[dearcentennial]

This is so beautiful, I cannot wait for your new album!

[wishtobeverything]

[z0mbiearms]

Ahhh so pretty! It's always surprising (but lovely) when you sing falsetto like that. Great song!

[CitizenOfNeverland]

I already knew it was Snape's birthday (I have all of the character's birthdays in my phone)! The Prince's Tale happens to be my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE CHAPTER IN ANY BOOK EVER. Great interpretation of the memory. You are a fantastically amazing singer :)

[barbie88888888]

[brainseatpeople1]

This album is one of my most anticipated of 2011 and I found out about it two minutes ago.

Can't wait!

[Lemon9865]

You are amazing. And this song is amazing. And this character is amazing. I literally just got goosebumps listening to this. :)

[drumsdreez]

You know, I don't remember subscribing to you, but I'm glad I did lol

[pickles4muggles]

i heard this for the first time last night, but I couldn't comment because my internet was being stupid. fdjkslfajk I love it so much. I love your fresh and indie sound so much. It makes it more enjoyable and personal. I can't wait for an entire album about my favorite character.

[sharizzle09]

Oh my gosh this is INCREDIBLE..makes that memory even more deep and wonderful to get these inside thoughts from Snape :) I think you articulated his point of view in an INCREDIBLE way.. my favorite line is "maybe she'll be the one to look past what I am" LOVELOVELOVE. & what is crazy ridiculous is I'm right now re-reading the 7th book and JUST finished that chapter last night & was still kind of reeling from it and then found this in my email the very next day!!Thanks for the free download!! :)

[mjay719]

<3 my heart just lit up and smiled : D

[raythegardener]

You're a Snape fan? 25 years ago when I was your age, I was a Gollum fan from Lord of the Rings. Nasty, vile, treacherous creature without whom the one ring would never have been destroyed. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

[cbeewins]

Yay :')

Happy bday Matt!

[pipsipirate]

I absolutely loved this lauren, great job!

[elizziebooks]

This song. Is beautiful! :D Thanks Lauren!

[hptwilighter]

Lovely song, Lauren. I can't wait for your album, Snape's memories were one of the best parts of the 7th book.

[kkkkails24]

This is great! :) I'm really looking forward to this album. :)

[lovelyvoices0]

Nice!!!

[SlightlyBookishBlog]

Aw, love, love, love ♥

I once saw a fan art picture that was so OMG...wow.

It was a painting with Lily in the Mirror of Erised, and snape was on the floor in front of it, looking all depressed, with one hand on the mirror. GAHHH so full of despair...and another word I can't think of at the moment :P

Anyway, great job! I can't wait to hear more about this album :D

[amoclin]

Your upper register sounds beautiful, and I think you really got Snape's vulnerability across well :)

[iamthedarro]

Couldn't help imagining Alan Rickman singing this, haha. Pretty wonderful, I recommend it. 

[emmielovegood]

This is beautiful, Lauren!

[aboodabi101]

Liked and Favourited. So beautiful, I've got chills now :)

[gredandforge7]

That honestly gave me chills. That is a great song :D <3

[clover13x]

It took me like 30 seconds of the song to just fall in love with it! Cannot wait for the album Lauren :-)
