I love how they used imagery from the books in their lyrics ^^.
"The silver light cast away
From the towers and the walls
The pale white horror took a place
Spreading madness and decay
The Eight arrived for their King
Great Shadows walked again
The watch of Men failed in shame
As the city burned in flames
Minas Morgul's dark sorcery
Corpse-light in the dead black sky
Tower rising from the tombs of fallen kings
And their Gods
Poison fumes fill the air
Dying ground, no trees or streams
Day and night full of light
Light that illuminated nothing at all
Once proud and great mortal men
Servants in Shadows embrace
Ithil-stone, device of lies
Eternal eclipse of the moon"
That was all from track 1 of one of my favourite albums of last year.

Gollum's Cry
Weakest of moments are these
The choking hold of insanity
Loses it’s grip and cuts me so deep
With the knife of clear memories
Of that innocent past which didn’t last
Oh, no! No!
The precious of mine
For you I would die
My love, my life, my everything
For you I cry
But not anymore
The things will get better
I will come to you
And soon we’ll be together
Forever…

“Pinnan alla
Varjoissa Rhûnin
Pohjalla hiekassa
Tumman veden huomassa
Lepää voima sankaruuden
Valossa
Kajossa uuden aamun
Usva väistyy
Häipyy mailleen
Piiloihinsa
Miekka nousee syvyydestä
On kolmas aika auringon”

The Return Of The Shadow marked the band’s first offering in more than ten long years, and immediately showcased the incredible…

Aamu... Tai oikeastaan päivä alkoi hyvin, kun kuuntelin Battleloren vuoden 2003 albumin "Sword's Song" samalla, kun join aamukahvia. Sen jälkeen päätin käydä ensimmäistä kertaa pitkään aikaan uimassa, ja 150m uituani totesin, että saa riittää koska kunto loppu kesken.😂
Mut tulipahan testattua älykelloa vihdoinkin uintitarkoituksessakin. Vielä kun sais hommattua uimalasit voimakkuuksilla, niin uimisesta vois nauttiakin enemmän, kun ei alkais päätä särkee.
Ens viikol uusiks, et jos tästä tulis vaik uus harrastus itelle, ku uimahalli tos vieressä.

The Silmarillion ultimate playlist
It’s the time of Spotify wrap-ups and whatnot and this gave me an idea: let’s make a giant, collaborative playlist for the Silmarillion!
Drop the songs that make you think of a specific character, your OCs, relationship, event, place, or just gives you major Silm Vibes in the reblogs and tags. Put links to them, write essays about these songs if you want, or just reblog to share further, but the goal is to have fun and discover as many songs as possible.
You can share any song or musical piece you want, no matter the genre or language, the only rule is that it can’t be a song by Tolkien nor a track from the LotR movies or musical, nor the Hobbit or any musical adaptation of Tolkien’s works (I see you Finrod Rock Opera. I will listen to you one day).
Anyways, here are my songs, and the link to the collaborative playlist:
Eärendil, Starwing: Sailboat of Mine - Eurielle & Mario Grigorov
Eöl, Nan Elmoth: Hotel California - Eagles
Aredhel: Touch the Sky - Brave; I want to Break Free - Queen;
Nerdanel, Anairë and Eärwen: Friends will be Friends - Queen
Findis: Ave Maria - Franz Schubert (specifically sung by Maria Callas)
Morgoth: Back on the Throne - Firewind
Lúthien: Savage Daughter - Sarah Hester Ross; Queen of King - Alessandra
Maglor’s Gap: I wanna be in the Cavalry - Colm R. McGuinness (both the original and the reprise)
Maglor: Requiem, Lacrimosa - W.A. Mozart
Fingon/Maedhros: Princes of the Universe - Queen
Túrin Turambar: Live and Die by the Sword - Firewind
Fëanor (from the moment he swears the Oath to his death, but specifically Alqualondë and Losgar): Wars of Age - Firewind
Amarië: I will survive - Gloria Gaynor
Eluréd and Elurín: Erlkönig - Franz Schubert; Come Little Children - Hocus Pocus (cover by Erutan)
Finwë: Sin - Lia Marie Johnson
Helcaraxë: Rise from the Ashes - Firewind
Nirnaeth Arnoediad: Bloodstained Ground - Eluvetie
Sons of Fëanor: Threefold Death - Eluvetie
Edain/ end of the War of Wrath vibes: Prologue - Eluvetie
Fingolfin: Last of the Lords - Battlelore
Tuor/Idril: Song of the Sea - Nolwen Leroy
Maglor, Elrond and Elros: The Magic Lullaby - Eurielle
Thingol/Melian: Cat People (Putting out Fire) - David Bowie
Nolofinwëans: Hey Brother - Avicii
Celegorm and Curufin in Nargothrond: (Do)minion - Eluvetie
As you can see, this playlist is completely random, jumping from lullaby to death metal to 80’s pop without rhyme nor reason. It’s just a giant melting pot of Vibes
And now, it’s your turn to play!
