Post subject:  Make The Best Ending Song Contest
Pretend for a moment that Enya didn't sing May it Be at the end of FotR, that Phillippa and Fran didn't write Gollum's Song for the end of TTT, and there was no "Into the West" sung by Annie Lennox at the end of RotK.

Instead, imagine that Phillippa and Fran decided to make lyrics out of Tolkien's poetry. Rather than ending FotR with "May it Be" there's a new song, its lyrics put together from different pieces of poetry Tolkien included in FotR.

YOU are writing those lyrics.

    Here's what to do:

Look through FotR, choose lines or sections from different poems, add in words, take out others
Put these together to make a lovely ending song for the movie Fellowship of the Ring.
It needs to summarize the movie, remember, and create the mood you want viewers to leave with!
You can compose a tune if you like, but entries will be judged by lyrics, not melodies
Post your new closing song here by the end of July 13th.
Contest will be closed and judged the 14th by Nienor and Ivreniel

Yay! There's finally a contest I can participate in! I'll join if I may. I've got a quick question- Does the song have to be a certain length? [i.e. a certain amount of lines.]

Well the rules do state

I take that the lines must be taken [somewhat] from the poems and songs of FotR.

EDIT: Do we have to a chorus or refrain in our song lyrics?

Sure, count me in...it'll give me something to do :)

EDIT: Shut up, Tom Bombadil! This guy has enough songs in his chapter to rival all the others put together! And they all sound something like, "Ring a dong dillo dong merry dol and derry dol doo de doo and doo de doo, by the root and willow" and such. Grrr.

Not necessarily. If you want.

Use songs from Tolkien but it doesn't have to be a whole lot. Can just be bits and pieces with your own work being the main body.

We never discussed that. Let's use the songs at the end of the movies as a guide.

So...

In dreams:
Quote:
When the cold of winter comes
Starless night will cover day
In the veiling of the sun
We will walk in bitter rain

But in dreams
I can hear your name
And in dreams
We will meet again

In the veiling of the sun
We will walk in bitter rain

But in dreams
I can hear your name
And in dreams
We will meet again

When the seas and mountains fall
And we come, to end of days
In the dark I hear a call
Calling me there,
I will go there
And back again



May it Be:
Quote:
May it be an evening star
Shines down upon you
May it be when darkness falls
Your heart will be true
You walk a lonely road
Oh! How far you are from home

Mornie utúlië (darkness has come)
Believe and you will find your way
Mornie alantië (darkness has fallen)
A promise lives within you now

May it be the shadows call
Will fly away
May it be you journey on
To light the day
When the night is overcome
You may rise to find the sun

Mornie utúlië (darkness has come)
Believe and you will find your way
Mornie alantië (darkness has fallen)
A promise lives within you now

A promise lives within you now now



In FotR, these are put together.

So would it be OK if I made up a song on my own without any of Tolkien's songs? I tried using his work, but nothing seemed to come out right, so I just made up one of my own songs. :)
