Name That Tune! - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Arestevana · 06-02-2003, 01:49 PM

I just thought of this. I don't think it has been used before, but if it has I'll beg for mercy. As the title suggests, this is like the television show. (The OLD television show) A responder can ask for any number of words, and then must guess the song. Since there aren't a ton of songs, quotes are good too. I'll start with one word. And an easy song. Feel free to ask for more.

It's the Song of Lebennin.

Quote:

Silver flow the streams from Celos to Erui.
In the green fields of Lebennin!
Tall grows the grass there. In the wind from the sea
The white lilies sway,
And the golden bells are shaken of mallos and alfirin
In the green fields of lebennin,
In the wind from the sea!

Arestevana · 06-05-2003, 02:19 PM

Correct, Eruanna! You may continue. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Eruanna · 06-06-2003, 11:03 AM

Thank you.

"The wind......"

EvennStarr8 · 06-06-2003, 12:15 PM

this is my very first post, so if i mess up just tell me, is it "Treebeard's song"?;..."Ah! the wind and the whitenessand the black branches of winter upon Orod-na-thon!"

No, that's not it.

Welcome to the Downs EvennStarr8 [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

EvennStarr8 · 06-07-2003, 11:08 PM

Is it "Legolas's Song of the Sea"? "The wind is blowing,and the white foam is flying....."

Eruanna · 06-08-2003, 06:13 AM

No one has come up with the right song yet, so I've added a couple of words:
"The wind is on the..."

It's the first line of the song. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

"The wind was on the withered heath", from The Hobbit?

Yay....that's it. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Turambar · 06-10-2003, 02:20 PM

Does the hint have to be the first word(s) of the song?

Orofaniel · 06-11-2003, 08:03 AM

So, when is the next coming.....I'm waiting in excitment! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Horse-Maiden of the Shire · 06-11-2003, 10:50 AM

I don't think so, Turambar.

Turambar · 06-11-2003, 01:29 PM

mighty doom

Arestevana · 06-11-2003, 01:40 PM

They don't have to be the first words, but they should be something sensible; not 'and the' or 'it is'. I don't think anyone would have done that, but I saw I needed to clarify.

[ June 11, 2003: Message edited by: Arestevana ]

Turambar · 06-12-2003, 09:13 AM

I guess you need a few more "notes":

on him mighty doom was laid

Beren87 · 06-12-2003, 02:30 PM

The Lay of Leithian? I really can't find it, hmm.

Anyway, welcome back Turambar!

[ June 12, 2003: Message edited by: Beren87 ]

Turambar · 06-12-2003, 02:56 PM

Not the Lay of Leithan.

HINT: this song contains a very unusual word, and the "long version" has an even more unusual word.

Now that's an unusual choice of avatar. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Elentarimir · 06-12-2003, 04:10 PM

Bilbo's song about Earendil in Rivendell? This is just a guess, but that line sounds strangely familiar....

Turambar · 06-13-2003, 08:36 AM

That's it ! Also called Errantry.

04-04-2005, 07:59 AM

hey im a bit new (well a lot) but if it's ok im going to jump straight in.

"The leaves were.."

arcticstorm · 04-04-2005, 07:14 PM

It is from Strider's Tale of Tinuviel

"The Leaves were long, the grass was green, the hemlock-umbels tall and fair,
And in the glade a light was seen of stars in shadow shimmering. Tinuviel was danceingg there to music of a pipe unseen, and light of stars was in her hair, and in her raiment glimmering.

04-05-2005, 04:52 AM

well done! it is indeed Aragorn's tale of Tinuviel!

"Cold be hand"

Beanamir of Gondor · 04-22-2005, 06:49 AM

Cold be hand and heart and bone,
and cold be sleep under stone:
never more to wake on stony bed,
never, til the Sun fails and the Moon is dead.
In the black wind the stars shall die,
and still on gold here let them lie,
till the dark lord lifts his hand
over dead sea and withered land.

Fog on the Barrow Downs

. Heard by Frodo.
[sung by Gollum in TTT movie]

arcticstorm · 04-22-2005, 12:12 PM

yep, your go

Beanamir of Gondor · 04-23-2005, 07:40 PM

"...countless stars..."

Somebody let me know if that's too short.

NightKnight · 04-24-2005, 05:59 AM

"Gil-Galad was an elven king
Of him the harpers sadly sing
The last whose realm was fair and free
Between the mountains and the sea

His sword was long, his lance was keen
His shining helm afar was seen
The countless stars of heaven's field
Were mirrored in his silver shield

But long ago he rode away
And where he dwelleth none can say
For into darkness fell his star
In Mordor, where the shadows are"

Not sure what it's called, but it's the one that Sam sings on the way to Rivendell.

Beanamir of Gondor · 04-25-2005, 11:34 AM

You've got it, NightKnight! And that song is listed in the appendices just as Gil-galad: in my book, anyway.
All yours!

NightKnight · 04-25-2005, 02:12 PM

Crap of crappy crappiness... I don't have the books in English, so unfortunately I can't post a new song. Does anyone else want to have a go?

Holbytlass · 04-25-2005, 05:33 PM

Sorry you had to forfeit, NightKnight. If I may...

fountain white

Holbytlass · 04-30-2005, 05:10 PM

Okay, it's been 5 days so I'll add a little more...
fountain white beneath the sky

wilwarin538 · 05-02-2005, 02:06 PM

Bilbo's bath song ( sung by Pippin)

O! Water is fair that leaps on high
in a fountain white beneath the sky;
but never did fountain sound so sweet
as splashing Hot Water with my feet!

Holbytlass · 05-07-2005, 06:37 PM

Yea, you got it!! I was beginnig to think that I was a jinx to threads. Please proceed....

wilwarin538 · 06-06-2005, 06:12 PM

returning feet

Have fun!

wilwarin538 · 06-14-2005, 05:05 PM

OK Ill make it a little longer.

I listen for returning feet...

Evisse the Blue · 06-15-2005, 06:20 AM

'I listen for returning feet and voices at the door'.

Bilbo's song in FOTR.

wilwarin538 · 06-15-2005, 02:29 PM

That is correct!

Evisse the Blue · 06-16-2005, 12:27 PM

"Above all shadows rides the Sun"

Arestevana · 06-16-2005, 01:09 PM

It is infinitely delightful to see this thread in play.

Sam's song as he climbs the tower of Cirith Ungol.

Quote:

Though here at journey's end I lie
in darkness buried deep,
beyond all towers strong and high,
beyond all mountains steep,
above all shadows rides the Sun
and stars forever dwell:
I will not say the Day is done,
nor bid the stars farewell.
