"Shadow" was actually written several years ago. It goes along with "Magic". "Shadow" is sung from the point of view of Petunia watching Lily and Severus prepare for their first year at Hogwarts.

lyrics

Why do I even care?
Why do I want to go where they're going?
Want to see myself there?
And finally knowing:

She's always been the popular one
The beauty queen, the girl in the sun
While I was in shadow
Left in shadow

I never knew what I'd lost
Now I see it's true, my wings were the cost
I paid so she could fly
While I was in shadow

Just once, I'd like to be
The one, the girl that you see
Just once, I'd like to stand on her shoulders
Not she on mine

I would be tall, I would be proud
I would stand up, I'd shout out loud
And I would be heard
No longer in shadow.

With You, Whatever Happens
by Lauren Fairweather

supported by 5 fans who also own “Shadow”

A long-awaited wizard rock album from a pioneer of the wrock community. Mostly wrock, but there are some other nerdy songs thrown in, though they don't disrupt the cohesion. Lauren is always awesome, and if you liked her previous music, you will enjoy this fuller sound even more. yourwizardrockresource

Sad Songs for Sad Girls in Hogsmeade
by Grace Kendall

supported by 5 fans who also own “Shadow”

This album is exactly what it says on the tin, because sad songs are Grace's speciality. But that doesn't mean it's lacking variety or range. Here are 11 songs about loss, frustration, helplessness, fear, judgement, insight, empathy and love. Listen to them again and again, because you will discover something new every time. yourwizardrockresource

How Airplanes Fly
by Avery Marshall

supported by 4 fans who also own “Shadow”

The moment I heard 'Forget the Girl' on a mix years ago, I fell in love, and I was so delighted to find more music by the same band. Avery's lyrics are a standout in the world of wizard rock, and I don't say this lightly. His grasp of characters and the heartfelt, poetic songwriting and delivery are second to none. I adore songs about canon relationships that give me new insights, and this album does that so well. yourwizardrockresource
