A simple lullaby I wrote on a whim one night.  A dear friend of mine is having a baby, so this is dedicated to her!  

(this is the first thing I’ve recorded on my new mic and I am freaking out! the difference is magnificent!)

Oh Nota! This is glorious!

And oooh, new mic is SHINY!

This is a traveling song.  It starts as a simple melody, one voice alone, but it will not stay that way.  

This track will be sent to another musician, who will add something to it; a new harmony, an instrumental accompaniment, whatever they think will sound good.  Then they will post it with their addition and it will be sent on again.  

I can’t wait to see how this grows!

You are so magic, I love em so much! Thank you thank you thank you!!!!

so, I have always adored my ‘Secret Evil Dets’ icon (as made by the amazingly kind and ultra-ULTRA-talented notanightlight! I LOVE YOU NOTA) but it feels like the right time to shake it up a bit. I’ve had the same icon for a heck of a long time now, I guess…! Also, I cut all my hair off bc the Dwarfling kept chewing on it 🙂

And so…!

I did the thing.  Written by the delightful morvidra!  You can read the lyrics here!

Enjoy!

UTTER PERFECTION

Garden Door

notanightlight:

You reap what you sow,
So I planted a door,
To take me to places I’ve not been before.

And though it may earn me,
Some curious looks,
I water it with passages read from my books.

I clear out the weeds,
(Save a few morning glories),
And dream about places known only in stories.

And when people ask me,
Just where will it go?
I tell them that I don’t really know.

But I can’t wait to see,
Can’t wait to go in!
Just as soon as it grows big enough to open.

-Notanightlight, 2015

Sung as Gimrís, there is no song better suited to the relationship she was with Bofur, in my mind.  Sweet, silly, and head-over-heels… literally.

Guest appearance by my cat at the end, the little diva.

AH PERFECT ❤

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.

So I might have already let you know, but GODDAMN, THE IRON HILLS FOR ME. YOUR LYRICS THE MUSIC THE EVERYTHING PERFECTION. PER. FEC.TION. (and I cry every time I listen to any version of it.) I CAN’T WAIT TO HEAR IT IN THE PODCAST! THE GODDAMN IRON HILLS FOR ME. FOREVER. (yes, thank-you, very much, thanks)

sldkgfsljhgdfskjhgfsakha THANK YOU SO MUCH

It was absolutely a joint effort, that one! I wrote the words, the magnificent notanightlight composed the tune for the verses, and I composed the chorus. 

and then I spent the next few days swearing at it in musescore lolol

Thank you Nonnie! I am so SO happy you like it, I am hugely proud of our efforts and of all the people who have recorded it. IRON HILLS FOR MEEEEEE ❤
