If you’re a hobbit and you know it clap your hands…
Snow Beast – Cecilia Eng, Sarah Hayes, & Meg Heydt
Hair like snow, eyes that gleam,
Things aren’t always what they seem.
Teeth too long, hands too thin –
Always look beneath the skin!
“Snow Beast,” by Mercedes Lackey, performed by Cecilia Eng, Sarah Hayes, and Meg Heydt

The Light Ship – Julia Ecklar
This song is probably best described as a solarpunk space madrigal.
Bring Me a Star – Cynthia McQuillen
Bring me a star that's fallen from the sky To lay in my lady's hand Stay time in it's flight, Keep tomorrow from this night But time it does fly, and stars do not fall.
“Bring Me A Star,” by Cynthia McQuillen

Bwaaaaah, I’m getting so many Wheel of Time feels at the moment. This song is so beautifully Mat & the band of the red hand, I just get chills.
I’m going to have to set aside some time to re-read the entire series as soon as the last book hits my shelves. (foo, there goes a year of my time.)
I also admit to having a nerdish fancy for wanting to do a cosplay group of the WoT characters.
When the Wind Changes – Echo's Children
The sun leaves the meadow, the geese leave the lakes–
When the wind changes, it aches
According to the bandcamp page, this song was written as background for a character in a role-playing game. It’s a beautiful tune with beautiful imagery.
Snow White, Red Road – Cheshire Moon
I’m honestly surprised I hadn’t posted this earlier, it’s one of those songs that seems like a classic in the making – Cheshire Moon’s deconstruction and re-construction of a fairy tale.
(I ran into these guys at Minicon last year; they’re very nice and one tends to squee when complimented, so I recommend saying nice things if you meet them.)

(Not Quite) The Chosen One – Mikey Mason
A song for the Ron Weasleys of the world. And…a lot of good characters, actually.
Han Solo Cool – Mikey Mason
I heard there was some kind of Star Wars thing happening soon?
(I just looked it up, the movie’s not out until December, but from the way some people I know have been carrying on, you’d think it was next week)
Anyway, this isn’t even about Star Wars. Not entirely, at least. It’s a metaphor.
