Loving the Whomping Willow

[pegkerr]

I've been listening today to one of the weirdest love songs I've ever heard, "A Heart Worth Loving (Hermione)" by the Whomping Willows. You can download the .mp3 for free at their MySpace page here. It's from the point of view of, what else, the Whomping Willow, which has fallen in love with . . . Hermione. I really like it--it's actually lovely and strangely moving.

Here are the lyrics.

It’s warm and happy at Hogwarts
But I’m alone [?]
The same place I’ve been for so long
Seen you round a couple of times
And you filled me with a light
That I never felt before
Hermione
What I’m saying might be awkward
And it might seem kind of strange
I can’t blame you for feeling that way
Even though we’re different species
I think you’d understand
If you just gave me a chance
Hermione
Hermione
Hermione
Hermione
I’m just a tree
Just a tree
If you could see
Inside me
You’d see a heart worth loving
You’d see a hand worth holding
You’d see a heart worth loving
You’d see a hand worth holding
You’d see a heart worth loving
You’d see a hand worth holding
Hermione
Hermione
Hermione
Hermione
People tell me love is painful
I should just stay away
But I’d be lying to myself
Your loving smile
Your bushy hair
And your compassion too
I know you’d never let me down
Hermione
Hermione
Hermione
Hermione
I’m just a tree
Just a tree
If you could see inside me
You’d see a heart worth loving
You’d see a hand worth holding
You’d see a heart worth loving
You’d see a hand worth holding
You’d see a heart worth loving
You’d see a hand worth holding
Hermione

Tell me about an off-beat love song that you really like.
