Songs that could have been used in LOTR

mithrand1r · 02-06-2003, 12:29 AM

Has anyone thought of songs that could be used in LOTR, either because it fits well or it is ironic.

Just to get things started:

"The Trees" by RUSH

"There is unrest in the forsest
trouble with the trees"

When I hear the first two lines of this song, I think of the storming of Isengard by the ents. The rest of the song is not bad in thinking of the ents rising up against Sauruman's oppression.

I am sure that people may think other other songs that could be used in LOTR.

I was not exactly sure which category this post should go, so if a moderator thinks this belongs elsewhere, please move.

Sincerely,
Anthony

hmm...there are a lot of good songs that could be in LoTR. I've never heard "The Trees" before. Is it any good??

ents aren't trees...

True, but ents remind me of trees.

I think so, but I like many songs by RUSH.

Knew that Björk should have written and sung Gollums song?

OMG, Rush. Now that's taking me back. "Closer to the Heart" and all that. Ahhh. Them were(n't) the days.

How about the armies of Gondor and Rohan, gathered on the two mounds at the Morannon, about to be slaughtered by the hordes of Mordor, singing:
"Always look on the bright side of life"?

cheers

the hobbits return to the shire with a blast of " the boys are back in town " by thin lizzy

Gandalf breaks into " you aint seen nothin yet " by BTO as he faces down the mouth of souron.

aragorn serenades everyone with " a little help from my friends " by the beatles

Frodo with " invisible touch " by genesis

Denethor with " no son of mine " again by genesis

the three hunters - " hunting high and low " by aha

Sam could blast out with " whole lotta rosie " by ac/dc

nostalga overload - close down computer immediately !

hehehehehhee nice one
mmmmm well cold chisel i dont think would fit anywhere so im out of suggestions.
oooo you still got the little Rasta.

viggosbeard · 02-06-2003, 08:12 AM

you could squeeze "flame trees" at the storming of isengard at a push

or at a bigger push the ringwraiths with "sell my soul " by Midnight oil - greatest thing to come out of Oz ( well after flying doctors and Bluey - now theres a man that could have walked into the part of aragorn !)

Millane · 02-06-2003, 08:25 AM

my god you read my thoughts VB...
do you know Cold Chisel... sometimes it feels like im the only person here that does...

viggosbeard · 02-06-2003, 09:02 AM

Im no expert but i try to keep my musical ear to the ground - old rockers can be fountains of wisdom ( or evidence of how to mature without any grace whatsoever )

Lets rock !

mithrand1r · 02-06-2003, 11:05 AM

Thanks for your thoughtful replys

More songs for consideration . . .

"Run Like Hell" by Pink Floyd

Hobbits trip from Shire to Bree
or
Frodo's race to the ford.

"Wish You Were Here" by Pink Floyd

When Sam thinks that Frodo is dead.

Sincerely,
Anthony

Damn hippy !

Boromir breaks into " poison arrow " by abc...." shoot that poison arrow through my heart .."

But if you know the lyrics to Epic by Faith no more, its got to be about Boromirs confusion over the ring

"...its in your face but you cant grab it
its alive, afraid, a lie,a sin
Its magic, its tragic, its a loss, its a win
its dark, its moist, its a bitter pain
its sad it happened and its a shame
you want it all but you cant have it..."
