Middle Earth Idol - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

THE Ka · 05-20-2006, 03:04 PM

Greetings again, I've been reminded that my last act was too unlike me, and I believe it was. So, to return my roots with more enthusiasm, I am going to sing a very favourite song of mine - Steward On Fire by Morrissey. Morrissey is my second best man (I am already madly in love with another more close), and I wish to do him some respect. This song is an illustration of an outsider's sympathy with the wonderful madness of Denethor.

Here is Gondor, giddy of Minas Tirith,
Is it home of the free -
Or what?

Can you squeeze me,
Into an empty page of your diary,
And psychologically save me?
I've got faith in you -
I sense the power,
Within the fingers,
Within an hour the power,
Could totally destroy me,
(Or, it could save my life)

Oh, here is Minas Tirith,
"Home of the mad, extreme and free"
You are repressed,
But you're remarkably dressed,
Is it real?
And you're always busy -

Really busy,
Busy, busy,
Oh, steward on fire,
All around Anárion’s House -
And you're just so busy,
Busy, busy,
Busy matches,
Oh, steward on fire,
(Only the other day)

Was a wizard, over-cautious,
He made you nervous,
And when he said,
"I'm gonna usurp you"
Oh, I really felt for you -

So can you squeeze me,
Into an empty page of your diary,
And supernaturally change me?
Change me, change me, change –

Oh, here in Minas Tirith,
"Home of the brash, hopeless and free"
You are repressed,
But you're remarkably dressed,
Is it Real?

And you're always busy,
Really busy,
Busy oil,
Oh, steward on fire,
All around Anárion’s House -

And you're just too busy,
To see me,
Busy matches,
Oh, steward on fire…

Bows and tosses matches off stage upon exiting offstage...

Alcarillo · 05-20-2006, 05:10 PM

Steve here, singing a song to one of the bard Santana's popular tunes. I'll be singing in the voice of Saruman, of all people. (singing to Sauron? A secret lover?)

Man it’s a hot one
Like seven inches from the midday sun
I hear you whisper and the words melt everyone
But you stay so cool
My Fíriel, my elvish city Tar-Míriel
You're my reason for reason
The step in my groove

And if you say this life ain’t good enough
I would give my world to lift you up
I could change my life to better suit your mood
Cause you’re so smooth

And just like the ocean under the moon
Well that’s the same emotion that I get from you
You got the kind of lovin that can be so smooth
Gimme your heart, make it real
Or else forget about it

I’ll tell you one thing
If you would leave it would be a crying shame
In every breath and every word I hear your name calling me out
Out from Nan Curunir, you hear my rhythm from your palantir
You feel the turning of the world so soft and near
Turning you round and round

Kath · 05-21-2006, 07:40 AM

Kath here, hoping she can still get her song in! This is the song Feeling Good (the Muse version) sung by Frodo as he leaves from the Grey Havens.

Eagles flying high, you know how I feel
Sun in the sky, you know how I feel
Reeds drifting on by, you know how I feel
It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life for me
And I'm feeling good.

Fish in the sea, you know how I feel
River running free, you know how I feel
Blossom on the Ents, you know how I feel
It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life for me
And I'm feeling good.

Hobbits are all out in the sun
You know what I mean, don't you know
Children are all having fun
You know what I mean
Sleep in peace
When this life is done
And the new world is a good world and a bold world for me.

Stars when you shine, you know how I feel
Scent of the pine, you know how I feel
Yeah freedom is mine, and you know how I feel
It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life for me
And I'm feeling good.

Group 1

Orominuialwen

Group 2

JennyHallu
Elu Ancalime

I'm sending out the PMs, they have till tomorrow to perform.

Elu Ancalime · 05-21-2006, 01:46 PM

Because of school and work and other stressful activities I am withdrawing myself from Middle-Earth Idol. Thanks and Sorry for enduring my vocalizations. Elu Ancalime walks out backstage, and is tempted to flip an obscene gesture at the camera, but resists doing so. Hooray for willpower.

Since this seems to be a downtime, and since I got permission from Sleepy, I'm going to do an ad of my own. Inspiration from Hookbill Goomba.

*******************************

(Musical thud)

"This Summer..."

(We look upon a small village during the night from a ridge. The clouds above part and the full moon shines down.)

"Barrow Downs Studios, with help from New Line Cinema, present to you..."

(A creature walks onto the ridge, and the camera changes. It is next to the moon.)

(Creature raises it's head) "Aaaawwoooooooooooooo."

"A tale of a town,"

(Village is shown in daylight)

"Turned against each other."

Nilp: Three of our villagers are killing our town!

"People will turn against each other."

Diamond: Killing our town? I thought this was a village.

Glirdan: She's causing debate! She's one of them!

(Charges Diamond)

"People will die."

Saucepan: (weeping) How did Firefoot die?

For: We... don't really know.

Saucepan: What? Isn't there a death every night?

For: The full moon isn't out every night, it's not a werewolf.

"And on the 18 of July, these peaceful villagers will be forced to contend with the forces of darkness."

(Music picks up into climatic area)

(Villagers quarrel)

"Your husband killed my wife!"

"We all know you knew she was cheating on you!"

"She what?!"

"We need the dreams of the seer if we are to live, as has been predicted ages ago."

"If this was predicted ages ago, why are we still living on this cursed land?"

"Good question."

"You will be thrilled, you will be shocked, you won't ask for your money back like when we remade Middle-Earth Idol."

Kath: Nogrod, why do you want to kill Alcarillo?

Eonwe: Because he's SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK!

Tol-in-Gaurhoth XXXXV: My Nose Is Running.

Nilp: Three of us have a disease.

Loki: (Scoffs) Probably AIDS.

For: WHAT!?

(07-18-06)

****************************

I hope you liked it, and I hope I didn't go overboard with that last part. I added an extra space in two areas since it would make a smilie.

Sleepy Ranger · 05-23-2006, 09:49 AM

Well seeing how Group 2 just had some major cuts (they're only left with seven) as both Ormi and Hallu have been eliminated for not showing up and not replying to the PM either. So Group 2, all those of you who have performed are safe... as for Group 1, there are now nine performers left due to Elu dropping out. Despite that there shall be two eliminations to bring both groups down to seven each.
