We love you Orli!

Feb 14, 2004 00:24

Another great night with Gwen and Susan and Lord of the Rings.

We love you Orli, oh yes it's true!
We love you Orli, and will be true!

When you're not near us, we're

red and yellow and green and brown and blue!

Oh Orli, we love you!!

That is our Orli/Saruman of many colors song XD (Only people who have seen Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat will really get it...). Yeah. We were bored.

So I'm working on a cover album for Lord of the Rings, except there's this small problem. All of the stuff I've recorded so far is too big for any free host site >.>;; feh. I've already recorded "Into the West" and I'm planning on doing "Helm's Deep" on my violin tomorrow, along with "Many Meetings".

Speaking of "Into the West", I downloaded "Gollum's Song" and I have found some strange parallels between the two. "Gollum's Song", by the way, is a really awesome song, but and it's so haunting...Oh my Lord...It fits quite well with Gollum. But anyway, I'll be a dork and point out the parallels of which I speak.

Gollum's Song

Where once was light
Now darkness falls
Where once was love
Love is no more
Don't say goodbye
Don't say I didn't try

These tears we cry
Are falling rain
For all the lies you told us
The hurt, the blame!
And we will weep to be so alone
We are lost
We can never go home

So in the end
I'll be what I will be
No loyal friend
Was ever there for me

Now we say goodbye
We say you didn't try

These tears you cry
Have come too late
Take back the lies
The hurt, the blame!

And you will weep
When you face the end alone
You are lost
You can never go home
You are lost
You can never go home

Into the West

Lay Down
Your sweet and weary head
Night is falling
You have come to journey's end

Sleep now
Dream of the ones who came before
They are calling
From across a distant shore

Why do you weep?
What are these tears upon your face?
Soon you will see
All of your fears will pass away.

Safe in my arms
You're only sleeping

What can you see?
On the horizon.
Why do the white gulls call?

Across the sea
A pale moon rises.
The ships have come
To carry you home.

And all will turn to silver glass.
A light on the water
All souls pass.

Hope fades
Into the world of night.
Through shadows falling,
Out of memory and time.

Don't say
We have come now to the end.
White shores are calling
You and I will meet again.

And you'll be here in my arms
Just sleeping.

What can you see?
On the horizon.
Why do the white gulls call?

Across the sea
A pale moon rises.
The ships have come
To carry you home.

And all will turn to silver glass.
A light on the water
Grey ships pass
Into the west.

Parallels

"Now darkness falls/Night is falling"
"Don't say goodbye"/"Don't say we have come now to the end"
"These tears we cry"/"Why do you weep?"
"We are lost, we can never go home"/"The ships have come to carry you home"
"And you will weep when you face the end alone"/"You and I will meet again"

I'm quite positive that these are not coincidences. (I'm not that stupid, c'mon). They make the songs almost reverse images of each other - I found it quite interesting.

I need sleep. Now. I just analyzed two songs. You know what that means? AP English has eaten my brain. O_O
