Middle Earth Idol

[Gurthang]

Another song of our choice by Sunday. You got it!

[The Only Real Estel]

Well, why not be the first, eh?

Alright, with my free choice I will sing Magic Mirror by Nickelback (Photograph). This is sung by Frodo as he looks into Galadriel's Mirror and sees many things - the Shire being desolated, himself leaving on his journey, places he used to travel - you get the point. Enjoy.


Look at this magic Mirror
Everytime I do it makes me fear
How did our eyes get so red
I'd think by now we'd have turned and fled

And this is where I grew up
Looks like the present owners beat it up
I never thought it'd ever look like that
And there's the Party Tree lying flat

And this is where I spent my time
Now I'd just be walking in mud and slime
Old Farmer Maggot knew I trespassed twice
I must have done it half a dozen times

I wonder if It's too late
Should i go back and try to set things straight
Who knows if its even happened yet
I hope it hasn't but that's no sure bet

Oh oh oh
Oh no I

I see a memory of looking out the back door
I see my traveling gear all spread out on my bedroom floor
I see my Bag End, see them burn it
Goodbye, goodbye

I see a memory of walking out the front door
I see a vision of the Mountain I am searching for
I see my Bag End, see them burn it
Goodbye, goodbye

Remember the Green Dragon
That's what we'd always gather in
Those ruffians must've hated them hangin out
Looks like they've gone and closed it down

We used to hike up and down Bagshot Row
They've dug it up n' turned the gaffer out though
We didn't think we'd find out how it feels
To go a day with less than six square meals

So this is what is to come?
Middle-Earth becomes one big slum
She says I can change it by what I choose
But if I keep on what will I lose?

Oh oh oh
Oh no I

I see a memory of looking out the back door
I see my traveling gear all spread out on my bedroom floor
I see my Bag End, see them burn it
Goodbye, goodbye

I see a memory of walking out the front door
I see a vision of the Mountain I am searching for
I see my Bag End, see them burn it
Goodbye, goodbye

I see the Shire
I see the faces
I can't erase
I can't replace it
I see it now
I can't believe it

So hard to stay
Too hard to leave them

I know I could turn back now
But then I would be going against my vow

I see a memory of looking out the back door
I see my traveling gear all spread out on my bedroom floor
I see my Bag End, see them burn it
Goodbye, goodbye

I see a memory of walking out the front door
I see a vision of the Mountain I am searching for
I see my Bag End, see them burn it
Goodbye, goodbye

Look at this magic Mirror
Everytime I do it makes me fear
Everytime I do it makes me

[Gurthang]

Hey! I'm not the last one to get a song in! Er... I mean... I'm Gurthang, back again (like always) to send you my extra special song. This little ditty is sung by none other than Arwen, to her true love Aragorn, concerning the human 'gift' of death. It's called I Will Follow You Into the Dark. Here we go! (I Will Follow You Into the Dark is originally done by Death Cab for Cutie.)


Love of mine, some day you will die
But I'll be close behind
I'll follow you into the dark
No white shores, or above green country soar
Just my hand in yours
Waiting for the hint of a spark

If Mandos will decide
That he can be satisfied
And illuminates the NO on his vacancy sign

I will be there beside you
When your soul embarks
And I'll follow you into the dark

In Rivendell, where my father dwells
He found that in love with, Aragorn I had fell
And I held my tongue, as he told me
"Dove, fear with a mortal love."
But I couldn't hold back

If Mandos will decide
That he can be satisfied
And illuminates the NO on his vacancy sign

I will be there beside you
When your soul embarks
And I'll follow you into the dark

You and me, have nothing left to be
You were King of the White Tree
And your life has been full, but age wears down
The time for sleep is now
It's nothing to cry about
Cause we'll hold each other soon
Where Eru's made room

If Mandos will decide
That he can be satisfied
And illuminates the NO on his vacancy sign

I will be there beside you
When your soul embarks
And I'll follow you into the dark
And I'll follow you into the dark
