If any of you had made up any songs about Middle-Earth, you can post them here. I feel kind of silly, but here is one that I just made up:

As I walked in Mirkwood,
I wondered --
What will happen to Middle-Earth?
Would there be no more good,
no more mirth?
Although the forest is unaffected,
the sea unfazed,
towers are erected,
the dark sky I had gazed.
What will happen to Middle-Earth?
Will there be dragons and Balrogs,
Stars stolen of a sky's worth?
Creeping along are heavy fogs;
the haunting call of a raven.
What will happen to Middle-Earth?
Will there be a safe haven,
or will the world be unwound from its birth?

I can't really write music, even though I did write a pretty funny song about my school in Creative Writing class.

Well, this is kinda a continuation of one that I already started & posted elsewhere, but there is a little more now...
The music I have written to accompany this is very New Age sounding. I like playing around with my keyboard!

"All through the night
I see the light
I'm here with you
You'll get me through

We're far from home
And we're far from friend
I'll see you on
To journey's end

The land is hard
The road is long
With all the things
That could go wrong

I know that you
Will get me through
To lighter skies
It's in your eyes"

Well that's it right now. I haven't even gotten to the chorus yet!
Geez! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
