Rerecorded ‘Where now are the horse and the rider’ since the first version was really more of a draft than a recording and the tempo was all over the place and the lyrics weren’t actually right, haha. The guitar part is also more defined here!
Anyways, y’all know the drill- poetry is Tolkien’s, the music is mine. 🙂 You can find my other LOTR/Hobbit music here: http://aupetitmatin.tumblr.com/tagged/songs-from-the-lord-of-the-rings
Thank you to everyone who listens! I always appreciate people commenting and liking and especially reblogging because it helps it get seen! Thanks!
Where now are the horse and the rider? – The Two Towers, J. R. R. Tolkien
Where now the horse and the rider? Where is the horn that was blowing?
Where is the helm and the hauberk, and the bright hair flowing?
Where is the hand on the harpstring, and the red fire glowing?
Where is the spring and the harvest and the tall corn growing?
They have passed like rain on the mountain, like a wind in the meadow;
The days have gone down in the West behind the hills into shadow.
Who shall gather the smoke of the dead wood burning,
Or behold the flowing years from the Sea returning?
