For those who might enjoy them 🖤

A compilation of lyrics that I’ve heard and immediately gone: it’s Melkor and Mairon. More under the cut. Favourite lines in bold.

Seduction of Mairon

And in the dark

I can hear your heartbeat

I tried to find the sound

But then it stopped

And I was in the darkness

So darkness I became

Listen to this song 🤗

The Ghost Who Is Still Alive (Beth Crowley)

I didn’t know any better/Thought that I was being saved/I let him take my hand/As he led me in/To a different kind of cage

"So Beth Crowley actually writes all (at least almost all) of her songs based on books or book characters and this one is specifically based on V.E. Shwab's "The Invisible Life of Addie Larue". I haven't read that book but thought that was important context. This song fucks me up because I hardcore project it onto a character, Abigail Hobbs, from my favorite show, NBC Hannibal. MAJOR SHOW SPOILERS AHEAD Her father is a cannibalistic serial killer and his mo is girls that look exactly like her. He's the first big killer of the week that's encountered in the show, and while trying to be captured/investigated by the main character FBI agent Will Graham and consulting psychiatrist (and other cannibalistic serial killer) Hannibal Lecter, the father kills his wife and slits Abigail's throat before Will shoots him down, so as to say if he couldn't have her then no one could. Abigail does survive but of course ends up in the hospital for a long recovery, barely saved by Hannibal, but when she wakes up, she finds herself under scrutiny of Jack Crawford, head of department Will works for, who is accusing her of helping with her father's murders. Hannibal creates his grand scheme here, where he creates a safe place in his home/office for Abigail to run away to because he's implied he cares for her as he was the doctor who saved her life, but also he was the man who set her father on his rampage that made him try to kill her. Abigail realizes this, and she becomes a pawn... So all in all the song really fucks me up for Abigail. The first verse is about her putting her faith in Hannibal only to realize that he's the man who set her father in a killing rage against her, and about the loneliness she's feeling...She truly was, at least for a time, The Ghost Who Was Still Alive"

Habibi (Tamino)

Now don't leave it there, just give it a chance/If only I'd forget you after one last dance/But you're everywhere, yes you are/In every melody and in every little scar/Yes you are, you are, love

“The vocals alone fuck me up a lot, there’s just something about the intonation and sound that makes it really neat. The high notes in some places are just so good. The general theme of the song to me is it kind of starts out with this relationship that seems pretty chill and then as you get further and further into the song you realize hey actually it’s a little bit fucked up actually, and I think that’s neat. The way the music builds up through the song is also so good. Overall a banger of a song that is just so good.”

I haven't seen anyone screaming about Beth Crowley's song here? Have I been AFK from the Patrochilles fandom for too long? Did I miss it?

Listen and cry with me!
