I made a song!!!!! - Page 3

Arathorn · 03-06-2002, 03:17 PM

Me. I don't know what to write anymore.

I don't even rhyme anymore...

Arathorn · 03-06-2002, 05:14 PM

No more block!
I guess it goes after 3 O'clock
I got some help from silly ole Smeagol
Yes, he's the guy who killed poor kid Deagol

Precious, We-a wants you
(originally Baby I'm a-want you by Bread)

Precious, We-a wants you
Precious, We-a needs you
You're the only One worth leading hobbitses about
Maybe We-a crazy but We just can't sleeps without
Your callings and temptations giving us directions
Like a tasty fishhh to helps us through dark stinky landses
Lately We-a cravings that you'll always be-a stayings besides usses

Used to be we just stays in our caves in mountainses
Feeding on some fishhh that swims the streams near riverses

Lately We-a cravings that you'll always be-a stayings besides usses

Hobbitses come asking riddles in the darknesses
Asking what it has got in its pocketses
You left usses

Precious, We-a wants you
Precious, We-a needs you

Oh, it took so long to bites its finger

Precious, We-a wants you
Precious, We-a needs you
(Baaaagggiiiinnnsssssss) (sizzle then fade)

Andy5190 · 03-06-2002, 05:28 PM

Aragorn, will you put me on your buddy list??

Arathorn · 03-06-2002, 05:31 PM

Sure thing, andy5190
but it's Arathorn, my new buddy

Eruviel Greenleaf · 03-08-2002, 12:49 PM

I wrote one from Greensleeves once. . .From Eowyns point of view, about Aragorn. Really, really corny, but oh well. I'll see if I can find it. Do people actually know that song?

StrawberryIcecream · 03-08-2002, 01:23 PM

Oh my goodness yes! i have commited it to memory since having to listen to everytime my friend put me on hold!

eowyn144 · 03-08-2002, 03:01 PM

i know the greensleaves tune and about one of the lines!post ur song neway.i love reading them!

Eruviel Greenleaf · 03-08-2002, 03:18 PM

Okay, I think it's really bad, but I had fun writing it! I know, the chorus seriously needs help, especially the first line. But then again, it is here for your amusement.

Eowyn's Song for Aragorn (pre-Faramir, of course!)
Based upon Greensleeves, King Henry VIII

Alas my love, you do me wrong
To cast me off discourteously
And I have loved you oh so long
Delighting in your company

Chorus:
Elessar was strong and bright
Elessar, heir of Gondor's Kings
Elessar was my one true joy
And who but that brave Aragorn

I have been ready at your hand
To grant whatever help thou need'st
I have waged both life and home
Your love and good will for to have

Chorus

Thy shieldmaid to follow thee
The Paths of the Dead I would walk with thee
They sheildmaid to follow thee
For thee I'd risk my own life

eowyn144 · 03-08-2002, 03:25 PM

that's great!u r all too modest. i could never even start to make up something like that. my talents do not stretch that far. hang on a minute.... what talents?

StrawberryIcecream · 03-08-2002, 03:40 PM

cool. like it. good stuff. still have rhyming block.

Rosie-Lass · 03-08-2002, 03:56 PM

I really like the Your Song one.
I love that song.
I was brought up on Elton John (my mum loves him), I know all of the words to the original as well!!!

Scary, huh.

Come on y'all, get over your writer's block so we can read more of the great poetry!

Don't even ask me to try to rhyme!

Arathorn · 03-08-2002, 05:16 PM

Good one, Eruviel Greenleaf. Keep 'em coming.

And thanks, Rosie-lass. That one happened right after watching FOTR right after a re-showing of Moulin Rouge and Strawberry's timely thread.

As for me, I'm not sure if I can make another one for at least the next day or two since the muses seem to be on leave and the Bombadil bug hasn't been biting lately. Oh well.

Arathorn · 03-09-2002, 06:28 AM

Here's another Billy Joel Song that I did
I had a hard time writing due to heavy eyelids.
It's not very good though
Hopefully it won't make anyone crow.

Frodo's Life
(based on My Life by Billy Joel)

Got a call from an old mage
He used to bring these dwarves
Said he needed to see Bilbo's magical ring
Closed the door, pulled Sam in
Made him promise to keep me close
Now he's gone were alone drinking ale with some friends

I don't need to be worried at Bree cause I'm alright
I don't need an old gaffer to lend me a hole
Then this Strider he comes and he takes us to his room
Those Dark Riders why don't they just leave me alone

I never dreamt of this adventure when I got the chance
I never should have taken that ring it was circumstance
I'll still go on, from that dark throng
'Hope we learn our elven lines
When it goes nigh time

Strider brought us to this Amon Sul
What a grave place
Where I got prierced by one nasty
Dark Morgul blade
Ah , but sooner you sleep and you wake up
In a strange place
Either way it's okay
You wake in Rivendell

I don't need you to worry for me Sam I'm alright
I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home
I don't care for what Boromir says anymore; this ring's my life
He should go save his own life and leave me alone

I never said I wanted power when I got the chance
I never got in trouble 'til I had me this circumstance
I still hold on, don't get me wrong
If you can read my mind
I'm really quite fine

I don't care what they say about Mordor, it's my life
Go ahead run to Orthanc, leave me alone.

Rosie-Lass · 03-09-2002, 08:54 AM

Heavy eyelids or not it's still brill!
I don't listen to Billy Joel much but that sounds cool.
I wish i could rhyme.

Earenya · 03-09-2002, 02:59 PM

Arathorn, you have quite a knack for these songs! Im impressed.

Nariel Starfire · 03-09-2002, 04:39 PM

Well I finally got my act together and wrote a song...

To the tune of Billy Joel's "Piano Man"

The Bartender by Barliman Butterbur

V1
It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
Some li'l hobbits shuffle in
The tall one comes to talk to me
On a chain 'round his neck there's a ring.

He says "Barli bring me a pint or two.
I'm not sure just how much I'll need.
But it's gotta be quick
'Cause our tongues have gone thick.
And we need some good ol' Bree mead."

CHORUS
Bring us some beer,
You're the Bartender.
Bring us some beer tonight
Well we've been runnin' from the Black Riders
And Gandalf said you'd help our plight.

V2
Now Nob at the bar is a friend of mine
He gives people drinks for free
And we's slow when he waks
He's quick when he talks
But there's someplace that he'd rather be.

He sasid, "Barli, I think you're sick of me"
As the smile ran away from his face
"But I'm sure that I would be Sauron's man
If I wasn't stuck in this place."

CHORUS

Now Bill is a shady ol' Southerner
Who's talking with his dar friends
And he's lookin' at Strider
Who is a Range-Rider
And I think his cloak needs some mends.

And the hobbit is practicing witchery
He's wasted and singing a song.
Yes he falls down and just disappears
Turns out he was there all along.

CHORUS

It's a pretty big crowd for a Saturday
And those hobbitsts give me a smile
And I know that it's me
That they've come here to see
To get some rest for a while.

And thir feet smell like an Oliphaunt
And their breath smells like beer
I give them a letter
They sleep and feel better
And say "Why is Gandalf not here?"

CHORUS 2X

You know, if I were to write one to the tune of Billy's "Captain Jack", I wouldn't have to even change the entire first stanza:

Saturday night and you're still hangin' around
Tired of living in your one-horse town
You'd like to find a little hole in the ground
for a while...

Arathorn · 03-10-2002, 03:24 AM

Thanks Rosie-Lass and Earenya, I've never done any before
I think I'm more of a techie than a rhymer of lore

Three cheers for Nariel Starshine
I have been thinking of Pianoman too
'Tis a mixture I think
of lounge and pub music where tends Barliman too

(I'll stop rhyming to say that your music sure had a lot of muses that time--inspired)

StrawberryIcecream · 03-10-2002, 06:00 AM

That was really very cool!

It makes me look like a fool,
My block is over, I'm thinking well,
who'll be about? Who can tell?

StrawberryIcecream · 03-10-2002, 06:32 AM

This is a song sung by Sam,
who's just lost his master to a spider who doesnt like ham.

All by myself by Celine Dion.

When I was young,
I never needed Mr. Frodo,
And stealing carrots was just for fun,
Those days are gone.
Walkin' alone
I think of Frodo, cold as bone
Saying “Master” with a moan
I’m so alone.

All by myself
(Wasn’t at Bree)
All by myself
With this ring…

Hard to be here,
When only days ago he was near,
And at his body, the orcs do leer,
I’m filled with fear.

All by myself
Didn’t used to be,
All by myself
Life’s a chore
All by myself
Don't wanna go
All by myself
To Mordor

When he was there,
I used to admire him from away,
So brave, “come what may!”
Those orcs will pay.

All by myself
I need to see
A helpful elf
With Frodo’s cure
All by myself
Don't wanna eat
Oh
Don't wanna eat
By myself, by myself
Life’s a chore,
By myself
Anymore
Oh
All by myself
Don't wanna live

Very Nicely done but sad.
