Portents of War...in Middle-earth

Описание: Portents of War in Middle-earth includes six songs, five arranged by Geoffroi and one by Calanne, with all lyrics by me.
"Twilight Zone" by Golden Earring 0:00 (music Geoff, lyrics Holly) one of my favourite workout songs; the lyrics were written for our production of "The Fellowship of the Ring," near the end of the book
"Reflections of My Life" by Marmalade 07:50 (music Geoff, lyrics Holly) beautiful music, also among my favourites in the original; Geoff and I talked about the original lyrics, which he felt were quite grim, but I felt held some hope, too; I wrote a painfully sad song to this for his memorial, but later incorporated Galadriel's prophesies and the general state of Middle-earth to make it an opener to "Fellowship of the Ring"
"19th Nervous Breakdown" by The Rolling Stones 12:20 (music Geoff, lyrics Holly) a pure Middle-earth omens song, focused on the impending War of the Ring, and quite old in Andune's history, but Geoff liked it a lot and I wanted to give it another airing
"Skalds and Shadows" by Blind Guardian 16:20 (music Calanne, lyrics Holly) Calanne remade this when we were preparing for "Fellowship of the Rings" and the lyrics reflect part of the "Many Meetings" chapter, specifically Boromir and Faramir's prophetic dream that led Boromir to the Fellowship
"Burning for You" by Blue Öyster Cult 19:31 (music Geoff, lyrics Holly) made long ago, Geoffroi liked this song; it is drawn from Galadriel showing Frodo and Samwise her Mirror
"Hourglass" by Squeeze 23:58 (music Geoff, lyrics Holly) here's one I felt I liked much more than anyone else ;-) and I loved writing the lyrics; it tells the story of LOTRO's Epic Volume III, Allies of the King, Book 1: Oath of the Rangers

Thank you for stopping by! Best wishes to you for the autumn.
