Fris complains that Nain writes music that is ENDLESSLY TOO DIFFICULT (because he doesn’t know a damn thing about harp except for the range, and so hasn’t the foggiest idea how to write for it)
Nain blithely continues writing fiendishly complicated pieces bc he is a lil shit that way 🙂
*hunts through notes* i know it’s here somewhere…
AHA – welp, okay, here’s what I was thinking: Nain took on the leadership of the Iron Hills after Gror died. He was foremost a warrior, and that served as his craft… but his true calling was composition.
Not song-crafting, no, though that was part of what he loved to do… Nain’s passion was the intricate weaving of many voices and many instruments together. He wrote the equivalent of symphonic music – the more complicated, the happier he was – most of which never got played, as the less-wealthy Hills did not have the great Drums and Guildhalls of Erebor. What was played, however, and quite a lot, were his arrangements of Rhunic and Iron Hills music… including travelling songs.
(He was pulled away from his keyboard a LOT in order to go sign this or that, and occasionally doodled little snatches and phrases in the margins of important documents. Which annoyed the hell out him later when he couldn’t find it!!!)
OOOH YES YES THAT YES (based on my little Fris ficlet!)
[DIS]
I have never been the type to use my name to get ahead
Went out to the marketplace to buy my family some bread
Bored out of my skull and trying not to feel the gloom
Then you spoke up and my heart went “Boom!”
Tryin’ not to laugh as you’re joking and styling
Everybody’s frowning and I know I’m smiling
[DIS AND WOMEN]
Oh, he’s a nobody but oh he’s fine
[DIS]
Deep inside, there’s a whisper,
“Yo, this
One’s mine.”
You realise just who it is you’re talking to,
And I got nervous, thinking “What’s he gonna do?”
You spot my mother’s cloak, I’m thinkin’ “I’m through”
Then you smile up at me and
suddenly I’m
Helpless!
@poplitealqueen is having a bad brain day. So I recorded her a song for her! *hugs pop*

I just had to cover my mouth with my hand to stifle my gasp. That’s very sad, and very respectful.
For @scarletclarinet – Stark my friend, I hope this little thing brings a moment of peace. *hugs some more*
I had an unexpected free lesson today at work 🙂 soooo I decided to bust out my belting chops (it’s been a little while!). Lyrics by @culturalrebel, initially posted here, also below the cut.
This is Dis, facing Thorin’s grave, still raw with grief and fury.
[DIS]
I knew my children like I know my mind…
You could never find Dwarves so devoted and so blind!
I loved my children more than anything in this life!
And I chose their happiness over mine every time!
Put what we had aside!
Damn this Mountain and our pride!
You could never be satisfied!
Thorin, are you satisfied?!
When you are one with the music
Luvs it
