Welcome to the playground, follow me
Tell me your nightmares and fantasies
Sink into the wasteland underneath
Stay for the night, I'll sell you a dream
Hey all! Every day is a good day to appreciate Éowyn, so here are some songs that remind me of our favorite shieldmaiden of Rohan!
“Waving Through A Window,” Ben Platt: I think this song evokes Éowyn’s feelings as she struggles to help her family and also strives to find a place for herself as a warrior. On the outside, always looking in/ Will I ever be more than I've always been?
“I Dare You,” Bea Miller: Éowyn is worth fighting for, but she can also save herself. Catch her singing this one to Gríma. So put me in a cage/ Lock me in a room/ Throw away the key/ I dare you.
“Warrior,” Aurora: This song encapsulates the many dimensions of Éowyn and the fact that she can be both a fighter and a lover; it also illuminates her strong sense of hope. Underneath darkened skies/ There's a light kept alive.
“Joan of Arc,” Arcade Fire: People may have all sorts of different opinions about her, but in the end, there’s no underestimating Éowyn. Tell the boys I’ll follow you.
