Finrod by arafinweanappreciation  

Breathe by Dom Fera

this encapsulates what I see as like. the baseline of Finrod's personality

Minstrel Boy by Enter the Haggis

you may notice that I have a fic title matching some of the lyrics in this one and that is not a coincidence 

Ages by The Hunts

I have never been able to listen to this song without thinking about Finrod and Galadriel. so. there's that. but I think it's also applicable to Nost Finarfin as a group

Shipwreck Song by The Altogether

this one is also a sibling/cousin song

The Mummer's Dance - Single Remix by Loreena McKennit

the lyrics on this one aren't all that important tbh; it's about the Celtic-Mediterranean-EDM fusion. for the Vibes

Flowers in My Hair by Wes Reeve

this one is a Finrod/Amarië song for sure

I Am Sad by Good Morning Bedlam

this is The Finrod in Beleriand song. to me

This Will End by The Oh Hellos

Finrod's foresight is something that can be so personal

Scarecrow by CoCo and the Butterfields

Finrod's sense of isolation after Angrod and Aegnor are killed is also something that can be so personal

Stayin' Alive by Cereus Bright

an extremely ominous acoustic cover of stayin' alive by the bee gees feels very late-stage nargothrond, survival-mode Finrod to me. because. yeah. I bet you can feel the city shaking and everybody breaking. etc.

Blacksnake by Charming Disaster

Finrod's foresight and its relationship to his perception of his own sanity and a sense of impending doom is something that can be so personal

The Battle of Sauron and Finrod Felagund by Clamavi de Profundis

i'm gonna go out on a limb here and assume i don't need to explain this one

If I Ever Leave This World Alive by Flogging Molly

do you ever think about all the people Finrod left behind where he was one of the few people they had left. y'know. Beren. Galadriel. Celebrimbor. Orodreth. 

haha me neither

Take This Body Home by Rose Betts

if you don't think some of his last thoughts were desperately hoping that things would work out for the people he loved despite everything I don't think we're talking about the same character tbh

(also it's not on this playlist but if you like this song you should also check out Rose Betts's song There Is No Ship. it's really good and i'm 90% sure it's based on a line from Arwen)

Thus Always to Tyrants by The Oh Hellos

my favorite band has a song about resurrection and you expect me not to put it on here????

For Misha by Nicholas Podany

sometimes you just have to lay down in the middle of your living room floor and think about legacies, y'know?
