Lotc Lyric Competition!

[Volutional 935]

-

Hello! I'm Volutional, a LoTCer, FM and Aspiring Composer. I wish to propose an oppertunity to do you race, yourself and LoTC proud - as well as getting yourself a hefty prize of $25 worth of VIP (see below for details). All you must do, is make an appropriate set of Lyrics for any kind of tune, that make sense and relate to your race. You can be as creative as you can.

-

Why? Because I'd like to make a lovely, or maybe foreboding musical piece to accompany and tell the story of your lyrics. Credit will be given wherever possible, and always given. And your race will have some Musical background finally!

-

Conditions;

______________________

-

The piece must make sense (as in... previous events in LoTC, a person / ruler, or perhaps a folktale)

-

You must be original (I don't want any FAR OVER, THE MISTY MOUNTAINS, or, ONLY A CAT OF A DIFFERENT COAT (Game of Thrones), copies please)

-

It can be about your race, your character, somebody else's character, a place, anything LoTC.

-

If you already have $25 worth of VIP, you can either

- Have $25 worth added onto your current VIP

- Gift your prize to another

- Put $25 towards a VIP package of your choice (a discount basically)

-

______________________

Prizes;

-

1st - $25 worth of VIP, and your lyrics shall be used for a soundtrack!

-

2nd - Your lyrics shall be used for a soundtrack!

-

3rd - Your lyrics shall be used for a short soundtrack!

Oh, almost forgot - Post your submissions here or in a PM.

Deadline is just after Christmas, in two weeks time!

Will you really carry out this competition? From personal experience, most competitions on LoTC go unfinished...

[Praetor 1550]

Will we have to sing it to show the tune? I don't perfectly understand that part.

Of course I will, and if I don't, you can ban me Skippy.

Not at all, you can if you wish - but I'd appreciate words just as much. I will compose around your lyrics, very similarly to how Tolkien written his lyrics and Howard Shore composed around them.

Okay, so -- just to clarify, I simply need to pm/post my lyrics here and that's the end if it? ^^ (*is interested in this*)

Absolutely correct :>

[SkyyoBee 249]

I may give it a shot!

[LaCabra (Soda) 1519]

Definitely going to try this out!

[Wizard 125]

Sounds pretty fun to me.

[XkynarethX 109]

The following is something my character thought of- about how horrible elves are.

What do you do when you see a pointy ear?

Sharpen the axe, ready the spear!

What do you do when you see grey skin?

Slice it off, slice it to pieces thin!

What do you do when he arrogantly smiles?

Wipe his head over the tiles!

What do you do when he shoots you a look?

Hang him on a tree with a fishing hook!

What do you do when he brings you a flower?

Give him a beating, make him cower!

What do you do when he talks all fancy?

Make him do some legless dancin'!

What do you do when he's below the ground?

Dig him up and feed 'im to a hound!

Just for fun. :P

Here is my submission

The life of a Halfling

I sat on a mountain above the clouds.

Watched over the world so high.

A vantage challenged by none.

But then I realized

It was no mountain

But a hill.

Oh the life of a halfling where hills are mountains and pebbles are hills.

Oh the life of a halfling keeps at peace.

I paddled down the roaring river!

Fighting the current back.

Heading towards the falls of water.

But then it came to me.

I'm a halfling.

This is no river.

This is a stream, 2 feet wide.

Oh the life of a halfling where streams are the mightiest rivers and a drop of rain could drown a man.

Oh the life of a halfling beware the world!

I sat at my table and looked at the 10 foot stack of food.

How could one such as I attempt to conquer it?

But then I realized

It was a single cookie.

Oh! The life of a halfling. Everything is oversized.

While we are undersized.

Hills, streams, cookies, Orcs! Oh! The life of a halfling.

How I wish I could reach the top shelf.

But I guess it doesn't matter.

Since I have no arms.

<3 enjoy. Volvol! If you choose this one you can modify it anyway you like :)

[LaCabra (Soda) 1519]

When is this actually done?

[Volutional 935]

Deadline is just after Christmas, in two weeks time!

Two weeks from the timestap +_+

[Stag 3234]

In four days? Hmm

[Wizard 125]

The competition should end tomorrow! I can't wait to see what everyone wrote up and most of all what Volutional is going to compose.
