"Regarding Hobbits" movie

Here is a video I made to go with my latest song, “Regarding Hobbits” (not to be confused with “Concerning Hobbits).

REGARDING HOBBITS

When little hobbits go out at night,
they dance around ‘til the morning light!
Full of pies and pipeweed too,
they have a good time and so will you!

Hobbits are gentle folk, you see,
tending the land and living carefree!
Simple, but not remotely boring,
some adventurous souls even go exploring!

You’ll hear of lands vast and new,
with golden trees and a stunning view!
But no purple sky or fancy queen,
tops their pretty lasses and their hills so green!

When little hobbits go out at night,
they dance around ‘til the morning light!
Full of pies and pipeweed too,
they have a good time and so will you!

Big folk can be scary, so give them time,
show them no harm and commit no crime!
the Bounders are shrewd and quick to act,
if you try to escape, you will be tracked!

Cooking is something they love to do,
almost as much as drinking brew!
Surely, Michel Delving is the place to be,
for superior ovens, most cooks agree!

Perfect pies,
win a prize.
Shire Spice Ale,
where’s my mail?!

Perfect pies,
win a prize.
Shire Spice Ale,
where’s my mail?!

The Party Tree is where they go,
for dancing, eating, and a music show!
There are inns at most every town,
kick up your feet and put your swords down!

I’ve been to places where elves make wine,
and places with green streams that smell like brine!
Leaves of red and gold take my breath away,
but the lovely Shire is where I choose to stay!

When little hobbits go out at night,
they dance around ‘til the morning light!
Full of pies and pipeweed too,
they have a good time and so will you!

Perfect pies,
win a prize.
Shire Spice Ale,
where’s my mail?!

Perfect pies,
win a prize.
Shire Spice Ale,
where’s my mail?!

We’re full of pies and pipeweed too!

"Forlorn" movie

Lorenael sent me a message a while back with a poem he had written in memory of the elf maiden, Heliara. He asked if I could write music to accompany his poem, and also stated that it was the first poem he had ever written. I was amazed that this was his first poem… it certainly should not be his last, as it is quite beautiful!

Here is the song… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8OMm3OxtVM

and the poem…

Is she real or merely a dream?
Words tumble sweetly from her lips
tasty tart with a bit of cream
Voice of nature soothing me.

Who is that stunning ray of light?
Dress and skin of similar hue
blend together ever so bright
Alas, a fairer maiden not before seen.

What path hath brought you into my life?
Captivating harp whispers in my ear
sit friend and listen, calm your strife
Elegant fingers caress the strings.

Where have you come from, far away?
Ebb and flow of emotional waves
song culminates to my deep dismay
Breathtaking smile irresistibly beckons.

When will I see you again, any time soon?
A twinkle in her eye, a nod of her head
watch for the moment most opportune
We could not know that would be the last meet.

Why doesn’t my mourning cease for thee?
Memories abound solemn, deep, and rich
transport my soul to you beyond the sea
Gone now is she, but everlasting in my dreams.

~ Lorenael the Forlorn
