[Plastic_Panda]

im thinking of Lorien in ME with the enchantment part... Galdriel perhaps?

[Orominuialwen]

Ar-Pharazon, with his fear of death (losing life)?

[Plastic_Panda]

umm was he a main charecter in the trilogy??
:P

[Elennar Starfire]

Yessss....yesss, my precioussss, he wassss....

[Encaitare]

Gollum? ;)

[Elennar Starfire]

Enca's got it!

[Encaitare]

Oops, shame on me for not checking up on this thread sooner! Give me until tomorrow and I'll think of something good. :)

[Encaitare]

you'll be given love
you'll be taken care of
you'll be given love
you have to trust it

from "All is Full of Love" by Bjork

[Diamond18]

Faramir to Eowyn?

[Encaitare]

Yep. :)

[Diamond18]

It's been a long time comin' and the cards were stacked.
It's been a long hard road to hell and back.
Your love meant trouble from the day we met.
You won every hand, I lost every bet.

"I Should've Known Better" Nickel Creek

[symestreem]

Tar-Aldarion to Erendis?

[Diamond18]

Nope

[Glirdan]

Eowyn to Aragorn?

[Diamond18]

No.

[symestreem]

Beren to Luthien? The "hand" made me think of it.

[Diamond18]

No.

[Kath]

Aragorn to Arwen?

[Diamond18]

No. Think unhappy, people. :rolleyes:

[Glirdan]

Hmmm....Eowyn to Faramir? Or perhaps Melian to Thingol? Or Galadriel to Celeborn or even Elrond to Celebrian. (Yes, that's four guesses in one :rolleyes: )

[Diamond18]

And yet, they're all wrong. :p

[symestreem]

Tuor and his sister?

[Diamond18]

Did Tuor have a sister? :confused: At any rate, nop, that's not it.

[symestreem]

Oops, I meant Turin. But I get the feeling you're going to say no to that one too...

[Diamond18]

Sadly, yes. It's a no.

[Thinlómien]

Frodo & Sam?

[Diamond18]

No.

[Thinlómien]

Gollum & the Ring?

[Diamond18]

Sorry, no.

[symestreem]

Finduilas to Turin?

[Thinlómien]

If symestreem's guess is incorrect, coul you give a hint, Di?

[Diamond18]

Alright, it's a female character singing to a male character and they're from the Silmarillion.

But symestreem's guess is wrong.

[symestreem]

But symestreem's guess is wrong.
Now there's a surprise. ;)

Aredhel to Eol?

[Diamond18]

Bingo! :D

Your turn.

[symestreem]

*dies of shock* :eek:

There will be a brief pause while I read the rest of the thread and make sure I'm not repeating... and try to retrieve those ideas from two years ago. Back as quick as I can.

[symestreem]

Gee but it's great to be back home
Home is where I want to be.
I've been on the road so long my friend,
And if you came along
I know you couldn't disagree.

From "Keep the Customer Satisfied". Probably before the time of most of the young 'uns here. ;)

[Glirdan]

My guess is Bilbo.

[Thinlómien]

Sam?

[symestreem]

Glirdan's got it. It could possibly work for Sam, too, except they came back to the Scouring of the Shire, whereas Bilbo did not.

And so ends my attempt to indoctrinate you into the good ol' music of the good ol' days-- for now. ;)

[Glirdan]

Ooo! I have a song in mind, but I need to go on a hunt for the lyrics. I shall be back! :D

[Glirdan]

3.2.1, it's the final meltdown I want out now
I wish I would've known to doubt you
I'm better off alone without you

Hedley - 321

I think this might be a little harder then you think, but have at it! :D

[Diamond18]

Obvious guess first -- is it the Ring singing?

[Glirdan]

Nope, more complicater then that. Guess again.

[symestreem]

Is it the Silmaril that was cast into the chasm in the Earth?

[Glirdan]

OOO! That's a good one! But not right. Let me know when you want a hint.

[Diamond18]

Sauron singing to the Ring?

[Thinlómien]

Frodo or Gollum to the Ring?

[Glirdan]

Neither are right. Want a hint?

[Diamond18]

Shelob to Gollum.

Hey, I'm being creative. :p

[Kath]

Gandalf to Saruman?

[Glirdan]

Shelob to Gollum.

Hey, I'm being creative.

Okay, I'll give you the creative part. However, you're wrong and I'm afraid you are as well Kath.

Here's a hint: Think couples.

[Diamond18]

Sauron to his lady love...

:p

Okay, no. Goldberry to Tom? I would be thinking Aredhel to Eol but I just did that one....

[Glirdan]

Well, your second guess would be right, but since you haven't guessed it per se... :p Just kidding, take it away Di.

[Diamond18]

Aha! Sneaky. I wasn't going to mention it because I thought, "Nah..." but I couldn't think of anything else.

I'll come back with lyrics later.

[Diamond18]

A part of me died when I let you go
And I loved you more than you'll ever know
A part of me dies when I let you go

"Blind" Lifehouse

[Glirdan]

Never mind me being sneaky! Sheez! This one could apply to so many people! So, my first guess will be...Gollum to the Ring.

[Thinlómien]

Elrond to Arwen?

[Diamond18]

Sorry, no.

But you're right, that was too generic. Here is another part of the same song, more specific to my answer:

I would fall asleep
Only in hopes of dreaming
That everything would be like it was before
But nights like this it seems are slowly fleeting
They disappear as reality is crashing to the floor

[symestreem]

Beren to Luthien?

[Thinlómien]

Galadriel to Lothlórien?

Or more generally, Elves to Middle-Earth?

[Diamond18]

Nope and nope.

[Glirdan]

Sauron to the Ring?

[Diamond18]

Close, but no.

[Diamond18]

Hint:

Both of Glirdan's guesses have been extremely close to the mark.

[symestreem]

Frodo to the Ring?

[Diamond18]

That's the one. Actually, the first excerpt is Frodo to the Ring and the second excerpt is Frodo after the scouring of the Shire.

Anyway, your turn.

[symestreem]

Alone and afraid she prayed that he'd return that fateful night, aww that night
When nothin' she said could keep her man from goin' out to fight

Okay, this isn't as obscure as it looks at first. The clue is night.

[Glirdan]

Hmm, the first thing that comes to mind is Varda to Manwë....and yes, that's my guess.

[symestreem]

Nope, sorry. :)

[Kath]

Er, weird guess but Rosie to Sam?

[symestreem]

Nope, it's about a woman of the race of men.

A further hint: While Ransom Stoddard did return, this man did not.

[Glirdan]

Arwen to Aragorn?

[symestreem]

No, they met again.

Hint: Night! Day!

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Tilion to Arien ?

[symestreem]

No, they're not of the race of men.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

sorry, I just got carried away and forgot about the previous hints.

[Elennar Starfire]

I think I know...but I can't remember their names and don't have my Silmarillion with me to look it up... darn brain.

[Glirdan]

I think I've finally got it!! Earendil to Elwing (I think that's her name anyway).

[Glirdan]

Symestreem?? Did I get it??

[Urwen]

I am gonna revive this, and this song fits whom I have in mind. And no, it isn't anyone from my 'mafia'

I had my wake up
Won't you wake up
I keep asking why
And I can't take it
It wasn't fake
It happened, you passed by

Now you are gone, now you are gone
There you go, there you go
Somewhere I can't bring you back
Now you are gone, now you are gone
There you go, there you go,
Somewhere you're not coming back

The day you slipped away
Was the day I found it won't be the same no..
The day you slipped away
Was the day that I found it won't be the same oh...

(From "Slipped Away by Avril Lavigne)

[Thinlómien]

Sam to Frodo?

[Urwen]

Nope.

[Pervinca Took]

Finwe to Miriel?

[Urwen]

Close, but no cigar.

[Pervinca Took]

Arwen to Aragorn?

[Urwen]

Nope, the previous guess was closer.

[Pervinca Took]

Feanor to Finwe, then.

[Urwen]

Still wrong and still close

Hint: brother and sister *disclaimer: not la familia either*

[Faramir Jones]

Nienor to Túrin?

[Urwen]

*facepalm* I knew someone would say it, so I explicitly stated it's NOT them in the disclaimer.

[Pervinca Took]

Feanor to Miriel?

[Urwen]

Nope, it's Turgon and Aredhel.

[Urwen]

Because I stumbled upon a collection of perfect songs for some of ME stuff. So here is the first one.

We'll drive out the [darkness] from this land that we own.
With our blood and our steel we will take back our home.

- Age of Oppression/Aggression by Malukah

[Urwen]

No one wants to try?

[Urwen]

Why doesn't anyone want to try?

[Urwen]

Someone please try this. Please......

[Morsul the Dark]

I’m splitting hairs but the song is from Skyrim 😛

Obviously there’s two answers that come to mind. I’ll pick the more obscure one fist.

Retaking Osgiliath

[Urwen]

Nope.

[Morsul the Dark]

The Dwarves retaking the lonely mountain.

[Urwen]

Nope.

[Morsul the Dark]

Because I stumbled upon a collection of perfect songs for some of ME stuff. So here is the first one.

We'll drive out the [darkness] from this land that we own.
With our blood and our steel we will take back our home.

- Age of Oppression/Aggression by Malukah

I’m much less versed on first age lore so if it’s in there I’m not going to get it. Granted the original context matters less, but the song is a Stormcloak song about taking back Dkyrim from the Imperials and Thalmor.

Now blood and steel definitely implies war or battle, so it’s not Bombadil casting out the wights since for that he used song. The song is from a bard but that’s pushing.

Now Rohan does drive Saruman out and certainly lots of blood and swords involved there.

Treebeard and the Ents in the last March of the ents. Certainly less steal but more blood. Afterall they willingly marched into what for all intents was the end of their people.

Lastly, the Scouring of the Shire definitely has a merit to the song as well.

So there’s my next three guesses :)

Rohan
Treebeard
Scouring of the Shire

[Urwen]

Nope. It looks like this answer doesn't come to mind easily, but the answer is the Elves' attempt to reclaim Beleriand, the land of their birth.
