I made a song!!!!! - Page 28

Arathorn · 04-27-2002, 02:19 PM

You're Proclaimed
(Originally YOU'RE SO VAIN by Carly Simon)

You walked into the City like you were walking into Harad
Your beard strategic'lly shaved for Gondorians
Your stance it was Dunedain
You had one eye on the elf girl as you watched me and took note
And all the guards dreamed that they'd be your captain
They'd be your captain, and....

Chorus:
You're proclaimed; you probably think my eyes are still on you
You're proclaimed, I'll bet you think my eyes are still on you
Don't you? Don't you?

You had me several weeks ago when I was still quite naive
Well I thought that we'd make such a noble pair
And that you would never leave
But you left me for some corpses and you got yourself an elf
I slayed a wraith and now I've got the Steward, I've got the Steward and....

Chorus

Well I hear you went up to Druedan and Wose hearts were naturally won
Then with your steed set back for Minas Tirith to see the total rebirth of your realm
Well you're where you should be all of the time
And when you're not you're with
Some Fellowship guys or your wife who's from Lorien
Wife who's from Lorien, and....

Chorus

Arathorn · 04-27-2002, 03:29 PM

Walk On By
(Originally worded by Hal David, tune by Burt Bacharach)

If you see Huorns walkin' down the creek
As Ents start their cry and some orcs shriek
Walk on by
Walk on by

Make believe
That you don't feel the fear just let them leave
From Treebeard we'll get all our answers
Let's go to Orthanc

Walk on by (Don't stop)
Walk on by (Don't stop)
Walk on by

I just can't let those Huorns get to you
And so if I seem hasty and rude
Walk on by
Walk on by

Mootish time
Is not what we have left, so let us ride
The tears and the madness just spare me
Now just say goodbye

Walk on by (Don't stop)
Walk on by (Don't stop)
Walk on by (Don't stop)
Walk on

Walk on by
Walk on by

Mootish time
Is not what we have left, so let us ride
The rage and the madness just save me
Now just say goodbye

Walk on by (Don't stop)
Walk on by (Don't stop)
Now we really gotta go, so walk on by (Don't, don't stop)
Greenleaf, leave, you'll never see the tears Hurons cry (Don't, don't stop)
Now we really gotta go, so walk on by (Don't, don't stop), mmm...mmm...hmm...
Greenleaf, leave, you'll never see the tears Huorns cry (Don't, don't stop)
Now we really gotta go, so walk on by (Don't, don't stop)

Glorious Glorfindel · 04-27-2002, 03:41 PM

wow! yet MORE genius works from Arathorn! watch this space! tomorrow there will be queen on this thread! i am ACTUALLY writing sumthing, it doesn't mean it will be good, but at least i will have tried!

Arathorn · 04-28-2002, 09:07 AM

I sang the original with a close (and very cute) friend this morning in the car...mmmm

Then I wrote this:

Rousing Days And Moot Days
(Originally Rainy Days And Mondays by: Paul Williams & Roger Nichols)

Talkin' to the trees and feelin' old
Sometimes my limbs would split
Halfling's talk does seem to fit
Rustling around
Making young Quickbeam frown
Rousing Days and moot days always get me down.

What we've got they used to call the hroom
Wizard done really wrong
Killing trees that lived so long
Orclings abound
Dark huorns will mow them down
Rousing Days and moot days always get me down.

Funny but it seems the halflings wind up here with you
Nice to know they understand me
Funny but it seems our moot took barely two days to do
Run and find the one who kills trees!

What we feel we've done is settle score
No need to stalk him out
He knows why we're all about
Rustling around
Waiting to call him down
Rousing Days and moot days always get me down.

Arathorn · 04-28-2002, 12:47 PM

This one's from Fiddler on the Roof:

Samwise, Short Set
(Originally Sunrise, Sunset by Sheldon Harnick)

Is this the little Pip and Merry?
Is this the little Took and 'Buck?
I don't remember growing taller
When did they?

When did one get to be a soldier?
When did one grow to be a guard?
Wasn't it yesterday when they were small?

Samwise, short set.
Samwise, short set.
Quickly flow the draughts
Seedlings turn overnight to young entings
Young Hobbits even as we gaze

What words of wisdom can I give, Sam?
How can we explain on our way?
Now we must learn from one another
Day by day

They look so unnatural for hobbits
Just like two mannish boys should be
Is there a canopy so tall at Bree?

Samwise, short set.
Samwise, short set.
Quickly flow the draughts
One question following another
Laden with puzzlement not fear

eowyn144 · 04-28-2002, 04:33 PM

my, arathorn. you do have a lot of time on your hands don't you.

StrawberryIcecream · 04-28-2002, 04:38 PM

My personal theory is that arathorn is actually someone famous like Elton John who is approving all his new cover songs, as he feels LotR is his inspiration for life.

The again i also think pigs could fly given a big push.

Arathorn · 04-28-2002, 06:37 PM

*snorts*
*oinks*

Only on weekends, eowyn144..

***Earniel*** · 04-28-2002, 06:50 PM

We all think our bard Arathorn is fine
but clearly he has too much time
music he posts and music he wrote
providing the moot with a musical note

I really should get some sleep.....yawn

Arathorn · 04-28-2002, 07:08 PM

8 songs in 48 hrs...
How much is just enough time?

*Promises to limit self to one song every 3 days for the next 3 days*

Eruviel Greenleaf · 04-30-2002, 12:38 PM

Wow, I'm away for the weekend, and look at all the wonderful songs I missed!

And still the songbook and my new songs aren't done yet. . .I blame the large amount of relatives and friends that appeared over the weekend!

E XK-thank you for being so generous to your fellow elf

Here, have some of my wine.

Arathorn · 05-01-2002, 02:12 AM

Yay! About 10 hours more to go before I can post another song!

***Earniel*** · 05-01-2002, 04:05 AM

I didn't mean you had to limit yourself to one song every three days. I was just marvelling how you manage to write such nice songs on such short time.

Arathorn · 05-01-2002, 08:43 AM

Darn..

Now I have to catch up!

Dwarven Sen · 05-01-2002, 09:50 AM

Ok obviously I cant do better than anybody else cos there have been some really good songs over the last few pages, mostly thanks to Arathorn.
Moby- Natural Blues

Oh Merry I've travelled so far
Oh Merry I've travelled so far
Don't nobody know my troubles but Sam
Don't nobody know my troubles but Sam

Oh Merry I've travelled so far
Oh Merry I've travelled so far
Don't nobody know my troubles but Sam
Don't nobody know my troubles but Sam

Went down the hill in a daze
Orcs around me now, they like pain
Went down the hill in a daze
Orcs around now, they like pain.

Oh Merry I've travelled so far
Oh Merry I've travelled so far
Don't nobody know my troubles but Sam
Don't nobody know my troubles but Sam

Closer to doom, where's Gollum gone
We're going there now Boromirs dead
Closer to doom wheres Gollum gone
We're going there now Boroimirs dead

Oh Merry I've travelled so far
Oh Merry I've travelled so far
Don't nobody know my troubles but Sam
Don't nobody know my troubles but Sam

StrawberryIcecream · 05-01-2002, 11:39 AM

hee hee! excellent one sen!
I'm working on one about Balrogs having wings. whether it'll get through the production stage though!?....

That's quite alright Eruviel, if you can't get drunk with your fellow elves then who can you? *picks up bottle Eruviel offered* Thank you!

Oh, and Arathorn of course, any more dwarvish ale around? *looks hopeful while drinking the wine*

That was good Sen! You know i like Gollum! YAY! Gollum...

Arathorn · 05-01-2002, 12:06 PM

Nice one Sen! I'm done with my 3-day song fast. Yay!

Here's a Beatles song for ya'll since F.B.-B.'s no longer here (hope she comes back, though):

Elanor Gamgee
(Eleanor Rigby by John Lennon, Paul McCartney)

Ah, look at all the hobbit people
Ah, look at all the hobbit people

Elanor Gamgee silently weeps near the hill where her father had been
Lives near an inn
Stares to the West now, clutches the Red Book that Sam gave to her once before
Where's Valinor?

All the hobbit people
Where do they all come from?
All the hobbit people
Where do they all belong?

Faramir Took-lad wedded young Goldilocks Gamgee of last we did hear
Sam sheds a tear
Look at him gard'ning
Waiting for signs that it's time to sail west
When will he rest?

All the hobbit people
Where do they all come from?
All the hobbit people
Where do they all belong?

Ah, look at all the hobbit people
Ah, look at all the hobbit people

Elanor Gamgee fin'lly she died near the hill with good Fastred her mate
Such is her fate
Pippin and Merry riding away from the Shire to Rath DÃ*nen their grave
Home of the brave

All the hobbit people (Ah, look at all the hobbit people)
Where do they all come from?
All the hobbit people (Ah, look at all the hobbit people)
Where do they all belong?

*Hands Elfmaster XK some Tequila since the ale's out*

***Earniel*** · 05-01-2002, 12:11 PM

Awwww Arathorn, that's SOOO sad! (and good BTW) sniff, poor hobbitses....
