Tracklist, lyric excerpts and occasional comments under the cut!
1. No Light, No Light by Florence + the Machine
But would you leave me
If I told you what I’ve done
And would you leave me
If I told you what I’ve become
‘Cause it’s so easy
To say it to a crowd
But it’s so hard, my love
To say it to you all alone
(Note: Apparently I cant make a fanmix without a Florence + the Machine song! This admittedly fit better when I thought the lyrics were, “You want a revelation, some kind of revolution,” but I think it still fits pretty well. Regarding the last line of the lyrics written above, I’ve seen some different versions so input the version I heard. It is sometimes written as “To say it to you out loud.”
2. Landscapes by Talos
Snapped together in your landscape,
we are heat stains
Magnetized by the night, light as a feather
I would suffer for your landscape
In the moon haze
All that’s left are bloodlines
3. Starlight by Muse
Far away
The ship is taking me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die
And I’ll never let you go
If you promise not to fade away
Never fade away
4. Never Enough by Epica
It was never enough that I gave to you
All of the horror hat you’ve put me through
How can I make up my mind this time?
This is where I will draw the line
5. Little Talks by Of Monsters and Men
Soon it will all be over, and buried with our past
We used to play outside when we were young
And full of life and full of love
6. Hey, That’s No Way to Say Goodbye by Leonard Cohen
Walk me to the corner, our steps will always rhyme
You know my love goes with you as your love stays with me
It’s just the way it changes, like the shoreline and the sea
But let’s not talk of love or chains or things we can’t untie
7. Light On the Shore by Karine Polwart
But it’s not so cold that I don’t feel the warmth of your skin
Not so cold I do not know the fires that burn within you
Though they are fading now I wish they would burn once more
And keep you from the light that’s slowly beckoning you to the shore
(Note: I think different parts of this song fit a lot of people in Tolkien’s legendarium very well. If I had my way I would show the song with parts for Galadriel and Celeborn, parts for Frodo and Sam, and parts fro Nerdanel and Fëanor, with maybe a few others too. As I am using just for these two characters I do think it fits well as a whole, but I was especially thinking of the last few verses for them. I had a hard time picking which verse to include here, as there were a few that I thought especially fit. This song, along with No Light, No Light, was the inspiration for the playlist.
8. Enough to Go By by Vienna Teng
I only want to see if I can shake you out of sleep
And bring you out under this flooded sky
At any price
So carry the weight
Carry the weight of me in your heart
Carry the weight
Carry the weight of me
