Hello lovelies!
Fantasy love songs combine my love of
music, fantasy, and romance.
While some of these on this list do
have a sad flavor, they are the perfect
accompaniment to all your Fantasy Romance reads.
I've found them inspiring my writing and really just life in general
and bringing excitement into the everyday
and I thought it was about time I shared
at least a few of them.
The first one is Written in Starlight by Karliene.
Karliene? I hope I'm pronouncing that correctly.
Karliene has some amazing covers and
amazing original music and Written in Starlight
is one of her older originals.
Some of her stuff is absolutely amazing
and some of it really isn't my thing,
but she is 100% talented and
I've got nothing but respect for this woman.
Next is Tragedy and Magic by Leah.
So Leah is quite possibly my favorite recording artist in existence.
She writes an amazing blend of Fantasy, Celtic, and
Metal with tunes for rocking out, serenading,
or even questing.
You definitely need to check her out.
She just announced her winter album and
she's really awesome just as a person.
And then number #3 would be Carry Me by Eurielle.
I also hope I'm pronouncing that correctly.
Spoiler, this music video has a sad ending .
I will link to it in the notes and—in the description,
but I like to not watch the music video and listen to the
words and imagine a happier story.
Eurielle has a lot of great tunes to match this, so definitely
look more into her if Fantasy love songs are your thing.
Meet Me on the Battlefield by Svrcina.
I also really hope I'm pronouncing that correctly.
Svrcina has this longing, sharp edge to her music.
I find it hard to describe.
It's like these melodies are just slicing you sweetly
as they stroke your ears.
This is one of my favorites by her and
I think of it as a love song
from the Cat's Eye Chronicles or something similar.
Next is Tír na nÓg by Celtic Woman.
This is the sort of song makes you jump up
and dance in the nearest fairy ring.
It's dripping with excitement and
anticipation, a touch of mischief, and it makes me think
of fae maids and down on their luck knights
who have no idea what they're getting into.
And Sacred Vow by Leaves Eyes is the next one.
So it's loosely based on a true story
Sacred Vow tells the saga of a Viking king whose
desired bride has refused to marry him
until he unites Sweden under his rule so he
spends the next two years doing just that.
Girl got standards.
And the next one is actually a medieval folk song,
but I threw it in here.
Greensleeves by Peter Hollyns.
I've always thought of this in context of
courtly love and Arthurian sagas.
Peter Hollyns loves Fantasy and folk songs and he does
them really well, most of them a capella,
and I've been following him
ever since he started showing his nerd side.
And a more recent one that I've really
been kind of just binging for a while is
Midnight Oil featuring Fleurie by Tommee Proffitt.
Again, I really hope I'm pronouncing her name correctly.
This might be one of the sexiest songs on this list to be honest.
I've been obsessed with this album for weeks
and pretty much everything by Proffitt has a
Sci-Fi/Fantasy vibe to it that...I just want
to live in some of his songs.
So do you have any others you would add?
And you can listen to this complete playlist.
I will link to the complete playlist of these for
YouTube and Spotify and I look forward to
hearing what you think.
