I have been working on a the outline for a new gigolas fic, but if I tackle this thing it’s going to be a doozy. It’s a bit of a period piece, and of course I made a song to go with it.  

This is partially to see if there would be any interest in a ghost hunter AU in which Gimli is a modern day Paranormal Investigator and Legolas is a spirit from the early 1900-1920s.

The song is very loosely based on Legolas’s Song of the Sea from LotR.

Heyyyy so remember I learned to play this a couple weeks ago? XD Finally got off my butt (and put my butt on the piano bench) and recorded the thing!  I think I meant to do this on the real piano at my mom’s with my new mic, but this’ll do for now XP

God I love this song ❤

The Last Goodbye, from The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies

I know I’m so late to this party, but I just listened to your choral Iron Hills song all the way through for the first time, and I’m crying. Not even just Tumblr-crying, but actually lying in my bed in the dark crying multiple tears and it’s your fault. Your voice and your writing are beautiful how dare you.

kdjsfhlsgfaksjdaksjfakhgfak oh my goodness, thank you so much. THANK YOU SO MUCH. *hugs* You are so kind, and uh… I’m very very sorry. 

*sheepishly pushes tissues in your direction*

I look forward to hearing from you.

OH MY GOSSSSSH!!!

Is Baris a soprano? I would really love to audition for her but I’m an alto (albeit with a well-trained falsetto).

Oooooh, I think Baris has quite a large range tbh. But the song I mentioned in that anon-ask before would not. It would be a very soft gentle song, probably in the upper alto range. 

(When I thought her up, I headcanoned Baris to have the kind of range that raises eyebrows: F3 – F6, 3 octaves. A big fat contralto down below, a full belt range, and A BLAZINGLY HUGE DRAMATIC SOPRANO. 

Like, Jessye Norman huge, absolutely HUGE. Jessye is the gorgeous black woman in this production of Walkure, btw – utterly problematic opera, utterly jaw-dropping performance. Jump to 1:20 to be completely and totally floored.)

But! I’m not so cruel as to make people actually try to do that sort of thing! So don’t worry, Nonnie, your range is absolutely fine.

nukkelapsi:

A Finnish fandub for Determamfidd’s “The Iron Hills for Me”- song, from her absolutely fantastic fic Sansukh. 

Translation in Finnish / Literal meaning of translation

Ei linnaa koti mun muistuta / My home doesn’t resemble a castle
Ei
aarteita hältä löydy / She doesn’t have any treasures
Ei historian kirjoissa mainintaa /
(there’s) nothing (about her) in historical texts
Ei sankareita hällä / She doesn’t have heroes

Ei kotini sua säväytä / You’re not
impressed with my home
kai pidät köyhänä häntä / You
probably think she’s poor
Mut rikkaudet sut pettää ain / But
treasures will always betray you
Mut uskollinen on rauta / But iron is loyal

Voi vie mut luo jalohaukkojen /
Oh take me to be with falcons

Ja mis tuuli vuorilla ulvoo /
And where the wind howls on the mountains

Mis lail’ veren vedet virtaa / Where water flows like
blood
Putouksissa huimaavissa
/ In dizzying falls

 Koti mun se raskas vapaa on / My
home is hard and free
Ja lailla leijonan
villi / And (it’s) wild like a lion
ei hällä kultaa antaa oo / She doesn’t have any gold to
give
Syömmensä kova kuin rauta /
Her heart is hard like iron

kaukana kotini mun on / My home is far
away
mua ahjoni jo kutsuu / My hearth already
calls for me
pajain unholassa kylmään jää /
My forge gets cold forgotten
ennen
työ siellä raikuen kaikui / (the sound of) work sounded loudly
before

Voi kaipaan huomaan auringon /
Oh I long to be in the embrace of sun
missä joet ne kovaa pauhaa / where rivers rumble
loudly
missä multa
maan on punaista / Where the dirt of the earth is red
Ja missä sää mua kauhistuttaa / And
where the weather horrifies me

Aarteita linnoja löytäkää / Find
treasures and castles
Suuremmat ne meitä käskee / The greater
ones order us
Ja jokaisella käskynannolla / And
during every command
Rukoilemme
selviytyvämme / We pray to make it out alive

Pian rummut soivat uudestaan / Soon the
drums will sound again
Ja
marssimme kuin karja / And we march like cattle
Ylhäiset vertamme vaativat / The highest demand
our blood
Puolestaan vuodattamaan /
(to) bleed/spill for them

Voi mä suunnan käännän
pohjoiseen / Oh I turn my heading to north
Ei vaistoni petä koskaan / My sense won’t
ever betray me
En turhaan etsi uudelleen / I won’t
search again in vain
Sillä
kotini siellä on! / Since that’s where my home is

Voi kaipaan ruostetaivaita / Oh I
miss the rusty skies
Hänen villiä
kauneuttaan /  Her wild beauty
hänet näen kun silmät ummistan / I see her when I squeeze my
eyes shut /
Minun Rautavuoreni! / My Iron Hills!
