Don't worry about it Haradrim, happens all the time.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Good song though. Just like your bio.

[Arathorn]

Hmmm... This place looks familiar.

Anyway, I wrote this down after hearing Daniel Powter's song on American Idol quite a few times:


Old Grey
(originally BAD DAY by Daniel Powter)
filked by Arathorn/Hector S.

Why did he fall when you needed him most?
You kick up the leaves though the quest seems so lost
They tell me you've lost Gandalf the Grey
They tell me your passion's gone away
And you don't need Sam carryin' on

You're bearing the One and it's pulling you low
You're faking a smile as, to Mordor, you go
You tell me the journey ain't so fine
You're falling to pieces everytime
And you don't need Sam carryin' on

Cause you lost the Old Grey
You saw him fall down
You can't find a song while you're Lothlorien bound
You head for Mordor
You seek there what lies
You work out a smile then you sneak off and hide
You lost the Old Grey
The Red Book don't lie
You're getting worse now and you really don't mind
You lost the Old Grey
You lost the Old Grey

Well you need a green Shire holiday
The point is the world is turning grey
And still Sam keeps on carryin' on

You lost the Old Grey
You saw him fall down
You can't find a song while you're Lothlorien bound
You head for Mordor
You seek there what lies
You work out a smile then you sneak off and hide
You lost the Old Grey
The Red Book don't lie
You're getting worse now and you really don't mind
You lost the Old Grey


(Oh.. Holiday..)

One time the One Ring falls from your grip
And that Smeagol does you wrong
You might not make it back and you know
And you could be turned to the throng
And It's so wrong

(yeah...)

So where is the Pilgrim when you needed him, Frode?
(Oh, just you and Sam)
You wait for the end, then come Eagles he rode

Cause you had some bad days
You saw him fall down
You can't find a song where you're hopelessly bound
You head for Mordor
You seek there what lies
You work out a smile as you snuck off to hide
You lost the Old Grey
The Red Book don't lie
You're getting worse now and you really don't mind
You lost the Old Grey
You now see the White!

Picture yourself behind moat, chains, and river,
With no mallorn trees, and coney meat pies.
Somebody is killed, and he dies quite slowly
A corpse in a funeral pyre.

Orcish foul muck of yellow and green...
Sweltering on top your head...
Dodge behind Thrain with the cloud in his mind,
And he's gone.

Gandalf in the sty with Thrain, mon.
Gandalf in the sty with Thrain, mon.
Gandalf in the sty with Thrain, mon. Ahhhh.

Looking down to the bridge by the tower
Where little green orcs eat the humans that die.
Everyone glares as you sneak past the watchers
That are so incredibly high.
Straw minature rafts appear at the shore
Waiting to drown you away...
Sink into the straw, with your staff in your mouth
And you're gone.

Fish are passing by in Morannon.
Fish are passing by in Morannon.
Fish are passing by in Morannon. Ahhh.

Place yourself on an eagle over the dark nation,
In plastic bloomers with spotty dye.
Suddenly, he is there at the last mile...
A wizard of incredible size.

Gandalf in the sky with diamante.
Gandalf in the sky with diamante.
Gandalf in the sky with diamante.

Ah memories. *wipes a tear

Empty stomachs – why aren’t we eating for?
Abandoned wars - I guess we lost the score
On and on, does anybody know what we are hiding for...
Another hero, up against Sauron.
Behind the cloak, stinking of grime.
Hold me up, does anybody dare to take it anymore
The ring must go on,
The ring must go on
Inside my heart is breaking
My legs may be aching
But the ring stays on.
Whatever happens, I'll not leave it to chance
Another war, another failed lance.
On and on, does anybody know what we are fighting for?
I guess I'm learning, I must be stronger now
I'll soon be turning, the tide of the war now
Outside the dawn is not breaking
Inside in the dark I'm aching to be free
The ring must go on
The ring must go on
Inside my heart is breaking
My legs may be aching
But the ring stays on
Nazgul have tainted on the wings gone by
Fairytales of Bilbo will grow but never die
I must fly - my friends
The ring must go on
The ring must go on
I'll face it with Sam.
We’re never giving in
On - with the ring -
I'll stop the kill, over the hill
I have to find the will to carry on
On with the -
On with the ring -
The ring must go on...

[Edit - looks like somebody already did it: sorry, Elfmaster XK! ]

I forgot how talented I am. Man, I wish I still had the energy to do this - it was fun.

[BeardofPants]

I did it - thanks Arathorn for reminding me how much I enjoyed this.

Ring of Gold (Heart of Gold - Neil Young)

I'm spread too thin,
I start to fade...
I've been a pinin'
for a ring of gold.
It's this subjugation
That never gives
It keeps me searching
for a ring of gold
I'm not getting old.
Keeps me searching
for a ring of gold
I'm not getting old.

I've been to the Golden Wood
I've been to Mirkwood
I crossed the Anduin
for a ring of gold
It's preyed on my mind,
and it's such a fine line
That keeps me searching
for a ring of gold
I'm not getting old.
Keeps me searching
for a ring of gold
I'm not getting old.

Keep me searching
for a ring of gold
You keep me searching
for a ring of gold
I'm not getting old.
I've been a pinin'
for a ring of gold.

[Earniel]

Aaah, just like the old days. Arathorn, BoP, you obviously didn't lose your touch!

[Dwarven Sen]

Wow! I got an email to say that Arathorn had posted. I don't even remember subscribing to the thread. I feel all time-warpy. Arathorn, good to know that you're alive. How's tricks?

Sen

[Arathorn]

Hi guys! Nice to be back.

Sen, I'm doing fine. Am teaching college again. Hopefully, I find another good enough song play around with.

[Farimir Captain of Gondor]

I told durinsbane2244 he should post this in here, but he's slow so I'll do it for him.

To Led Zepplins 'Going To California'

someone told me there's a crown out there,
that shines in the sun and doesn't mess up your hair.
took my chances with a fellowship,
went with 9 fellas for one hell of a trip.

the road was long and the days were hard,
we wondered how we'd ever manage to get so far.
my stomach was so empty that i started to shake,
i wondered if the wizard would give up some food for my sake.

seems that the wrath of sauron
got a cut on the ring
and it's starting to sing
i think he might be crying

show me a way,
if i get there today,
i'll see you out there where
the path runs strait and high.

to find the queen without a king,
they say she rides a horse, kills orcs, and sings...in the movie anyways...
ride a warhorse in the paths of the dead,
lookin like i'm gonna have to walk instead.
sleeping at night having terrible dreams,
wake myself up, and it's hard as it seems...bein king...

[durinsbane2244]

yes indeed...i was thinking of the "find a queen without a king line" [that's in the real song] and just visualized aragorn with an acoustic...from there it came to me in a dream...well, i actually thought of it...while i was awake...you get the idea...

[Farimir Captain of Gondor]

Was listening to the O' Brother soundtrack and this popped in me head.


to A Man of Constant Sorrow by the Soggy Bottom Boys sung by Gandolf with Frodo and Sam as the chorus.

Fatty Bolger: "Hot damn, it's the Soggy Shire Boys"

Frodo and Sam(chorus) In constant sorrow all through his age

*Gandolf sliding out to the mic*
I am the maiar of constant sorrow
I've seen trouble all my age
I bid farewell to old Valinor
The place where I was born and raised

(Frodo and Sam) The place where he was born and raised

For 1500 long years I've been in trouble
No pleasure here on middle-earth I found
For in this world I'm bond to ramble
I have no maiars to help me now

(Frodo and Sam) He has no maiars to help him now

I fare thee well my old ranger
I never expect to see you again
For I'm bond to ride to Minas Tirith
Perhaps I'll die upon it's walls

(Frodo and Sam) Perhaps he'll die upon it's walls

Maybe your friends think I'm just Mithrandir
My face you'll see some more
And there is one promise that is given
I'll meet you on Grey Haven's shore

(Frodo and Sam) He'll meet you on Grey Haven's shore

Not great but I just thought of it. I skipped the third(3rd) verse cause I couldn't think of anything for it.
