hmmmm.

I've had english classes from 1st grade through high school (basically repetitive and boring) and 3 that are required in university. The funny thing is, I really got the hang of english and some spanish watching Sesame street and going to ye olde Encyclopedia Britanica since there was no Internet back then.
But songs are a different thing. Just about everyone I know in the Phil. knows how to sing (though some better than others). We used to play games with songs (name that tune; another one involves singing a song starting with a word and the next guy needs to start the next song with the last word you gave). There was a time in high school when song and chordbooks were almost as common as comic books.

Eruviel Greenleaf · 03-15-2002, 07:19 PM

I said I'd do this, and I just did. I really makes absolutley no sense, but then again, neither does the original! So, here it is, "Laurelindorenan," from "Octopus's Garden." I know there are a few inaccuracies, but that's just how it turned out. (I really need to stop putting disclaimers in front of everything I do!)

I'd like to be, under the trees
In Laurelindórenan, in the shade
She'd let us in, knows where we've been
By the Mirror of Galadriel, in the shade
I'd ask Sam to come and see
Into Galadriel's Mirror with me
I'd like to be, under the trees
In the land of Lórien, in the shade
We would be safe, far from Moria
In our little Flet, among the trees
Resting our heads, on the Elven beds
In Galadriel's realm, near the trees
We would sing and dance all day
Because we know, The Ring can't be found (not really, I know)
I'd like to be, under the trees
In Laurelindórenan, in the shade
We would sing, we'd sing about
Poor Gandalf falling through with the Balrog
Oh, but how sad, for every Man, Elf, and Hobbit
Knowing Gandalf is fallen to Shadow
We would be so happy, you and me
If Mithrandir were here with us
(to Gandalf)
I want to be, under the trees
In the land of Lórien, with you
In the land of Lórien, with you
In Laurelindórenan with you

StrawberryIcecream · 03-16-2002, 06:19 AM

Cool Eruviel!

Ok. I have a stupid, short one sung to the tune of Ive got a lovely bunch of coconuts:

Ive got a lovely elf called Legolas

dummely dummely,

there he is standing by that tree,

Long hair, sharp arrows,

a smile that'll knock u dead,

and one daaaaaayyyyyyy,

we'll be wed!!!!!

Arathorn · 03-16-2002, 08:43 AM

Hee hee hee hee

Eruviel Greenleaf · 03-16-2002, 02:00 PM

LOL, Strawberry Icecream. Hee hee hee, can't stop laughing!

Thanks! My next project: All Things Must Pass. Stop me if you don't think it will work. . .

Arathorn · 03-16-2002, 02:17 PM

Go Eruviel! In the meantime, for my 777th post here's another
Billy Joel song which I hope you girls would know and like. My first Dwarvish love song.
(Originally She's Always A Woman)

She's Always A Noldo

She can soothe with a phial
She can probe with her eyes
She can channel your rage as her mind is so wise
And she only reveals what she wants you to see
She's fair as a child
But she's always a noldo to me

She can make you believe
She will never deceive you
She can ferret the truth without having to ask you
She'll provide enough lembas from Lorien 'til Bree
To catch any thief
But she's always a noldo to me

Oh, she protects Lothlorien
She's been waiting an age
She's been biding her time
Oh, and when her time is all out
And she sails to the West
She's the last of her kind

She provided us oars
Elven boats for Anduin
She then gave us gifts worth a lot more than mithril
After passing the test and then letting us be
Charmed a dwarf like myself
Oh she's always a noldo to me

She's incredibly kind
Though as grave as a juror
She can see what she pleases she has that fine mirror
But she won't leave Lothlorien until the world's free
And the most she will do
Is lift shadows from you
Coz she's always a noldo to me

Eruviel Greenleaf · 03-16-2002, 02:30 PM

that's good, Arathorn! I don't know the original song, but it's good. Now if I can ever tear myself away from entmoot, I'll work on that song. . .

Rosie-Lass · 03-16-2002, 02:33 PM

Arathorn, do you spend ANY time working, because you have posted the most songs on this thread and as people have pointed out, you r on here 24:7. I'm not saying thats a bad thing, because you are SOOOO lucky to have a free run of a computer!

I've not been on here for three days and I was beginning to suffer from withdrawel symptoms!

Back to the topic...I'm still working on Dionne Warwick. The best version of that song is the one from 'My Best Friends Wedding' with the lobster people in it.

Keep up all of the good work lyricists, and especially Eowyn.

Btw, I'm thinking of doing The World is not Enough by Garbage, man do I love that film!

Arathorn · 03-16-2002, 02:42 PM

You should try looking for his collection Eruviel. You're missing an icon from the 80s.
And Rosie-lass, I have a linux machine in the office so I can work and moot at the same time with multiple screens. BTW, I'm only on 20:7. At home, I only moot, watch TV, and take a bath. Hmmm, and I eat too. The rest of the time I go to school for my masters 3:2.

Eruviel Greenleaf · 03-16-2002, 02:52 PM

Okay, Arathorn, I'll look for his music.

But now I'm actually going to leave entmoot! *gasp* Oh, but I'll come back sometime soon. . .

StrawberryIcecream · 03-16-2002, 02:57 PM

Go Arathorn!

Wow! your like a song machine!

Arathorn · 03-16-2002, 03:04 PM

Yikes!

StrawberryIcecream · 03-16-2002, 03:37 PM

oops! did I scare you?

You knowI'm not just saying this but have you ever considered writinginyour spare time?

I reckon you could come up with a really cool book!

Eruviel Greenleaf · 03-16-2002, 04:29 PM

I have another song!
All Rings Must Pass, from All Things Must Pass, by George Harrison (The Beatles)

Sunrise doesn't last all morning
The Dark Lord didn't last all age
Seems our time is up and we're leaving with this warning
But it's not always going to be this grey
All Rings must pass
All Rings must pass away
Sunset doesn't last all evening
Now The One Ring has been thrown away
After all this our time is up and must be leaving
But it's not always going to be this way
All Rings must pass
All Rings must pass away
All Rings must pass
None of the Elves can stay
So we must be on our way
And face the Sundering Sea
Now the darkness only stays at night time
In the morning it will fade away
No it's not always going to be this way
All Rings must pass
All Rings must pass away

Tanoliel · 03-17-2002, 02:48 AM

LOL! You guys, these are great!
I can't write songs, it's just isn't my fate.
But since you write so many, I guess I'll try just one--
And if it's any good I'll post it up here when I'm done!

Really, I love 'em, they're all awesome! I think I'll try some Beatles...or maybe Enya. Anyone else know any Enya 'sides me and Eruviel?

-tano

Eruviel Greenleaf · 03-17-2002, 03:01 AM

Tano, you should go for some Enya songs! I'm sure a lot of people here have at least heard of her, considering she did those songs for LotR! Try "Anywhere Is" or something!

Arathorn · 03-17-2002, 03:22 AM

Whatever you do Tano, don't do Lothlorien. That's cheating because <sneers> it doesn't have any vocals.

BTW, I am liking that song very much Eruviel. Go Beatles! Anyone for some U2 or Smashmouth? They've got pretty recent releases.

And Strawberry, I just got surprised by your description. That's all. Now that you've mentioned it. I've been thinking about it since last month. It is quite difficult form me to think of something truly original with a good story. I'll just have to content myself now with playing with form and structure as far as literary stuff goes. I manage and write software programs for a living, btw

Rosie-Lass · 03-17-2002, 05:40 AM

I like U2, but my friends hate them, so I'll have a go at Stuck In A Moment...if I ever get time!

If anyone's thinking of doing Smashmouth, I would say do Allstar. I'm not going to do it because it is too fast. Maybe the 'Song Machine' (!) would like a go!

Rosie-Lass · 03-17-2002, 06:13 AM

Ok, here it is, v.v. weird as have been working on it for too long so now sounds kind of stupid, but never mind, I suppose it beats Elton John (strawberry!!!).

I Say A Little Prayer For You-Originally by Dionne Warwick, massacred by me!

I personally think that Sam should sing this.

The moment I wake up,
Before I cook our breakfast up,
I say a little prayer for you,
While running from ringwraiths,
And hoping that you are ok,
I say a little prayer for you,

Forever and ever, you'll stay in my heart,
And I will love you,
Forever and ever, we never will part,
Until we reach Mount Doom,
Together forever, that's how it must be,
Although we're not gay,
Our love is quite brotherleeeeeee...

We run from that Gollum, dear,
While running I think of us dear,
I say a little prayer for you,
At rest I just take time,
And although I really can't rhyme,
I say a little prayer for you,

Forever and ever, you'll stay in my heart,
And I will love you,
Forever and ever, we never will part,
Until we reach Mount Doom,
Together forever, that's how it must be,
Although we're not gay,
Our love is quite brotherleeeeeeee...

I say a little prayer for you,

I say a little prayer for you,

Forever and ever, you'll stay in my heart,
And I will love you,
Forever and ever, we never will part,
Until we reach Mount Doom,
Together forever, that's how it must be,
Although we're not gay,
Our love is quite brotherleeeeeeee...

My Frodo, believe me,
For me there is no one
But you...

It's not v.g, but I did my best with a song that, in a film, has lobster people in it...I'm serious!

StrawberryIcecream · 03-17-2002, 06:43 AM

Yay! Rosie didnt write Elton John!!!!!!!!!!!

And Arathorn if you do write a book, even a chapter, send it to me!!!! I wanna read it first!

You got any ideas for the books yet? And it doesnt have to be completely original!
