we’re all here for mostly the same reason. harry potter is more than just a book series and some movies. harry potter is what some of us grew up with or what made us miss being young or what keeps us young forever. harry potter taught life lessons and introduced us to love, friendship, and characters we will never forget.

[@antoniuerdei724]

what does it mean?

[@MistaBaZ]

@@antoniuerdei724 It could mean different things, depending on the listener. What the artist meant could very well be different from what many take away from it. "Hey little train, we're jumpin on... the train that goes to the kingdom." To some, that can be interpreted as greeting death with a bit of rejoice, possibly because of the idea of reconnecting with a lost loved one or being released from suffering. "I once was blind, but now I see" The verses that came before it were very melancholy and dark. Yet, in between each was that brief reprieve where children sang "o children, lift up your voice", which could very well be a warning as well as a call for kids to stand up. At the end of such somber verses to transition into that powerful chorus, which everyone returns to this video for, I hear two things: First is the possibility that everyone died in the story leading up to it and, as said, are reconnecting in the afterlife. "Have you left a seat for me" Second is the possibility of overcoming all that strife and hardship, even if barely, and being able to leave it all behind. They're rejoicing, they're alive. "Was held in chains, but now i'm free"

I'm 46 and watched these movies with my now 22 and 18 year old boy's. I just watched the 20 year reunion and bawled my eye's out. Harry Potter brings me back to different time's in the world and people actually got along. How I miss those innocent day's......

[@samvv]

This song has a special place in my heart. I always think of this song as a allusion to life itself, to the passing of time; of how the old gets replaced by the new. Poor old Jim is white as a ghost; he has finally 'seen the light': the end. He is going to die very soon, without anyone being able to shield him from his fate. He has to watch his children, the cleaners, take over from him. They can, and they will learn from where he went wrong and do things better. They will grow up, and they will gradually lift up their voices. The train we are all jumping on is death, and yes, it has a seat for everyone. We are all 'having fun' (or, better put, having ups and downs) until that train arrives. The singer realizes this and is no longer in chains but is finally free. That's just my interpretation though. Thank you Harry Potter and David Yates for letting me find this song! I lost count of how much times I have listened to it. It allows me to put any bad day into perspective.

As a music producer, I want to say how I love that this track is so messy, so dense and loud yet so beautiful as well. From the strings, guitar and ambience in the beginning then to the loud drums, bass and piano all up to the vocal choirs from The Bad Seeds all blends together perfectly. Everytime I listen to this track I hear something new in the production and to a producer, that just warms my heart. Sorry if it got a lil bit too nerdy, this song is just heaven-sent.

[@juanidominguez4452]

The song sounds, in my head I see Harry and Hermione as clear as water, dancing in a tent, when everything is bad, but they are smiling, at least for a moment... the song stops and their smiles fade away of their faces, they look at each other and without saying a word. They know what they're about to do. They are going to stop the dark lord. (I just woke up and i don't even speak english, but i love Harry Potter and this song an that scene creates some sort of pain on my chest... wich is beautiful and make me wish beeing there). Live a happy life. Even in the darkest of times we can be happy... if we know how to turn the light on. Exactly what Harry encourages Hermione to do. Good bay.

That they'll eternally be young and to an extent forgotten only remembered by the few close to them. I still hear their voices and see their faces and they're gone.
