Reading LOTR Poems ASMR
41:48
Wanted to do something a little bit different. This is a collection of poems, written by J.R.R. Tolkien, gathered in the Tolkien Reader. All of these are about Middle Earth, and are "written" in universe by Bilbo, Frodo, Sam, and others. Laugh at the Oliphaunts are cry at Frodo's Dream, near the end. Dance with the Man in the Moon, and mourn with Firiel, the mortal maiden. (Also I'm fairly certain that the Shadow Bride is about Luthien and Beren FYI).
I'm a big Tolkien fan if you can't tell. Read all of HoME. Anyways the sound quality is shit but I actually think my performance was really good, so I hope you enjoy.

: Likely composed in Gondor.
: Likely composed by an author familiar with old Elvish lore – Fastitocalon was an ancient mythological creature.
: The poem bears similarities to the Lay of Leithan, an ancient Elvish poem regarding Beren and Luthien.
: The poem bears similarities to the Narn I Chin Hurin, an ancient Mannish poem regard the Children of Hurin.
This ascription is unlikely, as the poem dates to the Fourth Age.
