I would love to see what playlist Pippin has for Maglor

Thank you!! And let’s see what Pippin comes up with. 🎶

“A song for Maglor?” Pippin repeats, before falling quiet. He looks deep in thought, pondering over your question. Eventually, he asks, “Which one is Maglor again?”

Gandalf sighs. Without further ado, he launches into a long explanation of Maglor’s importance to the First Age – as musician, as king, as an enemy of both Morgoth and quite a few of his own kin.

“–And some say that Maglor is still wandering along the shore, lamenting the loss of his family and the Silmarils.”

“That’s quite tragic,” Pippin murmurs. “It sounds like this Maglor had many sides to his personality.”

“Mm.” Gandalf nods. “Sometimes cheerful, sometimes solemn. Sometimes vicious.”

“I’ve got it!” Exclaims Pippin. “How about “Point of Know Return” by Kansas? It’s got an upbeat melody, but the lyrics are dramatic. Plus, it’s got an ocean theme to it. That seems fitting.”

“That’s not terrible, Peregrin Took.”

“Thanks, Gandalf. I think. Also,” he tells you, “if you don’t like that one, maybe “Blood in the Wine” by AURORA, to play into the drama of Maglor’s life. Here, I’ll have the band play them both for you!”

As the music starts, you thank Pippin and continue on your way at the party. You wonder what Maglor would think of the songs. If he were here, he’d definitely ask Pippin to play the Noldolantë.

I made another playlist

This one are the songs I'd introduce to the Tolkien elves if I had the chance

Idk, I think they'd think them neat ^^

Read the lyrics through the prism of Elwing being a descendant of Lúthien, and people being wary of her because of it: Wise men once said/ "One bad seed kills the garden"/ "One less temptress/ One less dagger to sharpen."

Read them through the perspective of Maedhros and Maglor at the Third Kinslaying: She's the death you chose/ You're in terrible danger.

Read them imagining Elrond and Elros losing their parents: You were sleeping soundly/ When they dragged you from your bed/ And I tried to warn you about them.

Read them imagining Elwing and Eärendil reuniting and holding the Silmaril: I'm the albatross/ I swept in at the rescue/ The devil that you know/ Looks now more like an angel.

Make no mistake; this song is about Elwing now. Read the lyrics considering how she's a contentious character in the fandom. Did you know? She's the albatross/ she is here to destroy you.
