This lovely tune was composed by goldberry-in-the-rushes, and the gorgeous lyrics are by poplitealqueen. My dear Miss Pop, here we are, told you I would! 

I hope it makes you smile.

Lyrics under cut.

Afar it was from Iron Hills,
When Barazantathul fell still.
It’s wielder gone, by foul arts killed.
A long vengeance at last fulfilled.

Our King fought hard with power true!
With his red axe of radiant hue.
Yet in the end, did come his doom.
Tan gamut warg ai-menu.

In crimson earth of softest clay,
Was his body finally laid.
Endurer strong, Old Wise King Dáin
Returned at last to home again.

Khathuzhâl= The Endurer (Dain’s Dark-name)

Barazantathul= The name of Dáin Ironfoot’s red axe.

Tan gamut warg ai-menu= May a good death be upon you.

Cover of “The Iron Hills for Me” by determamfidd and notanightlight, from Sansûkh, which is amazing and wonderful and should be read by everybody.

Just to reiterate, this is not even remotely mine. All credit for the arrangement and lyrics goes to the two amazing people mentioned above. 

Lyrics below the cut (again, not mine).

What a wonderful rendition! You have a great sense of pace and timing – I was stomping along with you the whole way! Thank you so so much!

notanightlight:

Since everyone seems very excited about instrumentation, I figured I’d post this track that’s been sitting around my computer for a while.  Just for fun my friend, woodsofnika and I worked out a guitar part for My Iron Home (The Iron Hills for Me) which ended up making it sort of folksy and a bit more upbeat.  determamfidd heard and then added in her fabulous fiddle work! 

So I hope you enjoy this laid back little jam session!

Vocals: Me

Guitar: woodsofnika

Violin: determamfidd

AWWWW WE SOUND SO HAPPY AND FOLKSY I LOVE IT

lol woefully out-of-tune fiddle

NOTAAAAAA ❤ Thank you for putting this together! Thank you so much woodsofnika! It’s brilliant!

So. I decided to record myself singing The Iron Hills song from Sansûkh (both written by the lovely determamfidd). So here it is!

(sorry for background noise and skype pings(those were ninayasmijn‘s fault(love you dear<3)) but there’s no where quiet in my house so this is what I got ^^)

(also don’t know what’s w/the last 10ish seconds of it. it wasn’t there when I recorded it)

Ohhhhhh! Beautiful rendition! THAT ENDING. OH MY GOD. 

(also – I love the snippet of the cradle-song at the end, it’s like, super sad and echoey AHHH)

Thank you so so much!

VOLUME WARNING, because I felt like this song warranted belting at certain points and I’m really loud.

Apparently I’m in a singing mood and a Sansûkh mood. I have a couple issues with this recording, but I’m posting it anyway so I stop over analyzing my mistakes. Yes!

AUGH I AM SPONTANEOUSLY GROWING A BEARD RN

Thank you Rothwen! So much passion in this rendition – utterly awesome, thank you so much!

I finally managed to sit down and read chapter 37. I really liked this song, so have a 1 am recording.

Yay, this is finally done! 😀 This is my setting of The Lay of Nimrodel, which Legolas sings in The Fellowship of the Ring.  This has always been my favorite Tolkien poem, and I think I first came up with the beginnings of this tune for it when I was about twelve. XD I did a rough version a while back, but now that I finally have my new mic I wanted to give it a go for real.

(Apologies for the background noise- unfortunately a lot of it is the stupid plastic pedal I have for this keyboard and the sound quality goes a bit wonky when I try to noise cancel it XD)

Not technically done for Sansûkh since I started way before I read it, but it still could be XP (while I work on more stuff that is for that)

Lyrics- JRR Tolkien
Music/Arrangement/Performance- Me

Please don’t use this particular setting without permission!

Everybody. Listen. To. This.

Avi this arrangement is jawdropping. The rolling piano perfectly captures the rivulets of Nimrodel, it’s sweet and melancholy without dragging, it’s so beautiful, it’s so so beautiful.

And YOUR VOICE, EXCUSE ME THO. How much spin and brightness in your voice, your vowels as clear as crystal, utterly spectacular tone and placement I AM SHOUTING NOW IT IS YOUR FAULT FOR BEING TOO AMAZING

*listens again and again and again* GDI that slow section *clutches face* *moans happily* AUGH

AVI

AVI IT IS SUPERB

So I said I wasn’t gonna record anything else tonight but I lied >.> I loved this song when it was first posted, but seeing it in context put it in an entirely new (read: painful) light.  I adore Dets’ choral version, but I wanted to try to sing it as Barís might have actually sounded by herself.  Not gonna lie, the first half is acting and the second half was me actually getting a little choked up because I have so many feelings about that scene >.>

AUGH AVI

AUUUUUUGH

that little hitch in the line ‘through and through…’ it got me. it got me.

aND THEN THE ‘my baby’  – AUUUUUGH

*becomes one with the pillow* *waves white flag* AUGH
