In memory of Dave Brockie my next music post is “Carry On Wayward Son” performed by the mighty GWAR!!!!! You’ll be missed Dave. You’ll always be in our hearts and blasting us “human scum” through our speakers.

If you think this trilogy got worse with each movie then you probably didn’t understand the story.

What if I told you that St. Patrick wasn't even Irish and that his color wasn't green but actually blue. Also March 17th is the day he died. Happy St. Patrick's day.

This is one of my all time favorite songs about the master storyteller Tolkien’s epic Lord of the Rings. Unfortunately I could not find the acoustic version being performed by the band so I attached the Wacken festival performance from 2011. Still an excellent version but the acoustic is my favorite. Check it out.

“Lord of The Rings”

There are signs on the Ring
Which make me feel so down
There’s one to enslave all Rings
To find them all in time
And drive them into darkness
Forever they’ll be bound
Three for the Kings
Of the elves high in light
Nine to the mortals
Which cry

I’ll keep the Ring full of sorrow
I’ll keep the Ring till I die
I’ll keep the Ring full of sorrow
I’ll keep the Ring till I die

Ref.:

Slow down and I sail on the river
Slow down and I walk to the hill
Slow down and I sail on the river
Slow down and I walk to the hill

And there’s no way out

Mordor
Mordor
Mordor

Dark land under Sauron’s spell
Threatened a long time
Threatened a long time

Seven rings to the dwarfes
In their halls made of stone
Into the valley
I feel down (I feel down)
One ring to the dark lord’s hand
Sitting on his throne
In a land so dark
Where I have to go

I’ll keep the Ring
I’ll keep the Ring
I’ll keep the Ring
I’ll keep the Ring
I’ll keep the Ring
Till I die

Ref. (2x):

Slow down and I sail on the river
Slow down and I walk to the hill
Slow down and I sail on the river
Slow down and I walk to the hill

Slow down and I sail on the river
Slow down and I walk to the hill
Slow down and I sail on the river
Slow down and I walk to the hill

Lord of the rings

This song will seriously surprise you for being from a black metal band. Did he just say black metal..uuuggghhh….lmao. Like I said it doesn’t sound like you would think.  Give it a try. I dare you. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. Dark and beautiful lyrics that I will just let you enjoy.

“Phoenix”

Into the night
My long suffering friend
We’ll be reborn again
Right here where everything ends

Face to the sky
A trail of smoke in the air
Pass into emptiness
New life’s awaiting you there

Slave to some wretched old
Imagination of yesteryear
Now all that grows in the skulls
Of the living are flowers of fear

The morning red
A sun-god calling you back
Down through a thousand years
White embers whistle and crack

Await the dawn with her kiss of redemption,
My firebird!
You were the queen of the souls of all men
Before there was the w-o-r-d

The morning new, the morning red,
The fiery promise
Mad swirling smoke wheels round her head
Dedication to the queen of souls, her lost disciples
And when the fire’s work is done
Our time to be reborn

By pagan streams
A wind whips the leaves from the trees
And it is revealed to us
That we are dreams within dreams

Born from some wretched
Old imagination of yesteryear
Now all that grows in the skulls of the living
Are flowers of fear

The morning new, the morning red,
The fiery promise
Mad swirling smoke wheels round her head
Dedication to the queen of souls, her lost disciples
And when the fire’s work is done
Our time to be reborn

The morning new, the morning red,
The fiery promise
Mad swirling smoke wheels round her head
Dedication to the queen of souls, her lost disciples
And when the fire’s work is done
The phoenix now reborn

You Millennials have no idea. Here’s Kevin Bacon to explain it to you all.

BONUS SONG!!!
This song is pretty self explanatory so I will let the lyrics speak for themselves on this one. No real reason for sharing this other than it just being an absolutely beautiful song both lyrically and musically. Enjoy.

“Never Ending Story”

Armies have conquered
And fallen in the end
Kingdoms have risen
Then buried by sand
The Earth is our mother
She gives and she takes
She puts us to sleep and
In her light we’ll awake
We’ll all be forgotten
There’s no endless fame
But everything we do
Is never in vain

We’re part of a story, part of a tale
We’re all on this journey
No one is to stay
Where ever it’s going
What is the way?

Forests and deserts
Rivers, blue seas
Mountains and valleys
Nothing here stays
While we think we witness
We are part of the scene
This never-ending story
Where will it lead to?
The earth is our mother
She gives and she takes
But she is also a part
A part of the tale

We’re part of a story, part of a tale
We’re all on this journey
No one is to stay
Where ever it’s going
What is the way?
We’re part of a story, part of a tale
Sometimes beautiful and sometimes insane
No one remembers how it began.
