Who sang it? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Melephelwen · 09-19-2002, 07:05 AM

A new quoting system... well, not really, but in this topic/game, you have to guess which song it is, and who sang it.

Quote:

Eärendil was a mariner
that tarried in Arvernien;
he built a boat of timber felled
in Nimbrethil to journey in;
her sails he wove of silver fair,
of silver were her lanterns made,
her prow was fashioned like a swan,
and light upon her banners laid.

It's only the first verse, off course [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

elengil · 09-19-2002, 11:01 AM

The song is Eärendil was a mariner and Bilbo wrote and sang it in Rivendell.

Who sang:

But long ago he rode away,
and where he dwelleth none can say;
for into darkness fell his star
in Mordor where the shadows are.

It is the song about Gil-galad, and Sam sings it on the way to Rivendell, (just before Weathertop, if my memory is right?)

Quote:

The cold hard lands
they bites our hands,
they gnaws our feet.
The rocks and stones
are like old bones
all bare of meat.
But stream and pool
is wet and cool:
so nice for feet!
And now we wish---

o elbereth gilthoniel
silivren penna miriel
o menel aglar ellenath

thats out of memory so it might be wrong

Grey_pilgrim · 09-21-2002, 01:32 AM

Elves sang it in Rivendell, but also Galadriel, Elrond and the other Elves that left on the Grey Ship sang it on the way to the havens..i think [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Morgoth Bauglir · 09-21-2002, 07:23 AM

correct u are.

Melephelwen · 09-27-2002, 02:16 PM

Auch, that's a toughie... give me a moment and I'll return with a guess [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Susan Delgado · 09-29-2002, 05:53 PM

I can give you more of the song, if you want. That's just one verse [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Gliniel · 09-29-2002, 06:52 PM

Umm ... that was sang by the dwarves when they were in Beorn's house, right? Just a guess (*hides from stuff thrown at her*)

Susan Delgado · 09-29-2002, 07:06 PM

*tosses a rose* Congratulations! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

merlilot · 09-29-2002, 07:33 PM

Hey, that was cute. "Ducks from things thrown"..."tosses a rose"

...hopeless romantic...

Susan Delgado · 09-29-2002, 11:00 PM

Why thank you, merlilot [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Gliniel · 09-30-2002, 09:38 AM

K, I guess it's my turn then right? This one's pretty easy, so I started kind of near the end so it wouldn't be a dead giveaway:

"Grey now as tears, gleaming silver,
red then it rolled, roaring water:
foam dyed with blood flamed at sunset;
as beacons mountains burned at evening;
red fell the dew in Rammas Echor."

Thanks for not throwing things at me that are TOO objectionable! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

merlilot · 09-30-2002, 03:00 PM

is it the song that the minstrel sang at theoden's funeral?

Gliniel · 09-30-2002, 06:08 PM

Not quite. Very close, though. Same instance.

Lothiriel Silmarien · 10-01-2002, 12:52 PM

Song of the Mounds of Mundberg

merlilot · 10-01-2002, 03:16 PM

Yeah, was that it?

off topic: when is the next time I get 'promoted' up from wight? Is it 200? Cuz I am at 176 as of this post.

Joy · 10-01-2002, 03:21 PM

250, each time it doubles.

Gliniel · 10-01-2002, 06:36 PM

Anyway ... yea, that's right Lothiriel. Quote on ...

merlilot · 10-01-2002, 07:18 PM

Ppppt. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] So I have roughly 75 more posts to go? What will I be then?

And please, quote on...I love this game. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Ok, well I don't have my book right now, so I'll do an easy one. But I don't wanna give it away, so I'll only do some of the lines.

Quote:

In the dark wind the stars shall die and still on gold here let them lie. Till the Dark Lord lifts his hand, over dead sea and withered land.

Susan Delgado · 10-06-2002, 03:05 PM

That is the song of the Barrow Wights, yes?

Susan Delgado · 10-06-2002, 03:14 PM

I'm almost positive about my guess above, so...

Farewell sweet earth and northen sky,
for ever blest, since here did lie
and here with lissom limbs did run
beneath the Moon, beneath the Sun...

Legolas · 10-06-2002, 10:18 PM

Beren

Susan Delgado · 10-06-2002, 10:26 PM

yup

Legolas · 10-07-2002, 07:34 AM

Quote:

Beyond the Sun, beyond the Moon, the foam was on the Sea,
And by the strand of Ilmarin there grew a golden Tree.
Beneath the stars of Ever-eve in Eldamar it shone,
In Eldamar beside the walls of Elven Tirion.

Glorfinniel the Lost · 10-18-2002, 09:22 PM

Galadriel's song of Eladamr?

Lothiriel Silmarien · 10-19-2002, 10:20 AM

And yes, in reply to Susan's answer, that was the song of the Barrow wights.

Legolas · 10-21-2002, 10:19 AM

Correct...go on!

Melephelwen · 11-14-2002, 12:59 PM

Can you give a hint? I can't remember where it is, and I can't find it, and it really tickles(sp?) me, because I can remember, that I thought it was good! [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

TolkienGurl · 11-14-2002, 01:46 PM

Hmm... well, one of the Fellowship sings/chants it. I can't say which book, though, because that would make it too easy! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Melephelwen · 11-14-2002, 02:04 PM

Of course!! Now I remember!! Stupid me! It's the song Gimli sings in Moria, about the times of Dúrin!! And I even thought about it, but just blew it out again!!! [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
