Rush, Led Zeppelin, etc.

[Balbo]

O Rush tem algumas músicas cujas letras são inspiradas na obra de Tolkien, feitas pelo baterista Neil Peart, que é fã da obra, além de ser considerado por muitos como o melhor baterista de Rock do mundo.

Aí vão elas:

Rivendell
Álbum: Fly By Night

Sunlight dances through the leaves
Soft winds stir the sighing trees
Lying in the warm grass
Feel the sun upon your face
Elven songs and endless nights
Sweet wine and soft relaxing lights
Time will never touch you
Here in this enchanted place

I've traveled now for many miles
It feels so good to see the smiles of
Friends who never left your mind
When you were far away
From the golden light of coming dawn
Till the twilight where the sun is gone
We treasure every season
And every passing day

You feel there's something calling you
You're wanting to return
To where the misty mountains rise and friendly fires burn
A place you can escape the world
Where the dark lord cannot go
Peace of mind and sanctuary by loud water's flow

We feel the coming of a new day
Darkness gives way to light a new way
Stop here for a while until the world,
The world calls you away
Yet you know I've had the feeling
Standing with my senses reeling
This is the place to grow old till
I reach my final day.

You feel there's something calling you
You're wanting to return
To where the misty mountains rise and friendly fires burn
A place you can escape the world
Where the dark lord cannot go
Peace of mind and sanctuary by loud water's flow.



The Necromancer
Álbum: Caress Of Still

I. Into Darkness
As grey traces of dawn tinge the eastern sky, the three travelers, men of Willow Dale, emerge from the forest shadow. Fording the River Dawn, they turn south, journeying into the dark and forbidding lands of the Necromancer. Even now the intensity of his dread power can be felt, weakening the body and saddening the heart. Ultimately they will become empty, mindless spectres, stripped of will and soul. Only their thirst for freedom gives them hunger for vengeance...
Silence shrouds the forest
As the birds announce the dawn
Three trav'llers ford the river
And southward journey on
The road is lined with peril
The air is charged with fear
The shadow of his nearness
Weighs like iron tears

II. Under the Shadow
Shreds of black cloud loom in overcast skies. The Necromancer keeps watch with his magic prism eyes. He views all his lands and is already aware of the three helpless invaders trapped in his lair...
Brooding in the tower
Watching o'er his land
Holding ev'ry creature
Helplessly they stand
Gaze into his prisms
Knowing they are near
Lead them to the dungeons
Spectres numb with fear
They bow defeated

III. Return of the Prince
Enter the Champion. Prince By-Tor appears to battle for freedom from chains of long years. The spell has been broken...the Dark Lands are bright, the Wraith of the Necromancer soars away...in the night.
Stealthily attacking
By-Tor slays his foe
The men are free to run now
From labyrinths below
The Wraith of Necromancer
Shadows through the sky
Another land to darken
With evil prism eye...

 

[Afyon]

E o Led Zep?

Falaew!
Então, você disse no título que tinha algo sobre o Led... vc só escreveu sobre o Rush...
Que eu saiba, a única música do Led que tem a ver com LOTR é a Ramble On... mesmo assim, ela eh bem cogumelo.

[Balbo]

Aí vão as letras do Led Zeppelin:

Ramble On

The leaves are falling all around
Time I was on my way
Thanks to you
I'm much obliged
Such a pleasant stay
But now it's time for me to go
The autumn moonlight's my way
And now I smell the rain
And with it pain
And it's heading my way

Oh, sometimes I grow so tired
But I know I've got one thing
I've got to do

Ramble on
Now's the time, the time is now
Sing my song
I'm going around the world
I gotta to find my girl
On my way
I've been this way, ten years 'til the day
Ramble on
And find the Queen of all my dreams

Got no time for spreading roots
The times has come, to be gone
And though our health we drank
A thousand times
It's time to ramble on

Ramble on
Now's the time, the time is now
Sing my song
I'm going around the world
I gotta to find my girl
On my way
I've been this way, ten years 'til the day
Ramble on
And find the Queen of all my dreams
I ain't teeling no lie

Mine's a tale, that can't be told
My freedom I hold dear
How years ago in days of old
When magic filled the air
I was in the darkest dephts of Mordor
I met a girl so fair
But Gollum and the evil one crept up
And slipped away with her her
Her her, her yeah
There ain't nothing I can do now

I guess I'll keep on rambling
I'm gonna shake
Sing my song
I gotta find my baby
I'm gonna ramble on
Sing my song
I'm gonna work my way
Go around the world, baby baby, yeah
I'm gonna ramble on
A do do do do do, my baby
Baby, just ramble on, baby
A do do do do do
I can't stop this feeling in my heart
Everytime I get enough of it
I really got to hold you
I got to keep searching for my baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
I got to keep searching for my baby
My, my, my, my, my
Yeah, yeah


Essa música não é cogumelo, é blues, e essa é uma característica do Led Zeppelin. A parte inspirada na obra de Tolkien é essa:

Mine's a tale, that can't be told
My freedom I hold dear
How years ago in days of old
When magic filled the air
I was in the darkest dephts of Mordor
I met a girl so fair
But Gollum and the evil one crept up
And slipped away with her her
Her her, her yeah
There ain't nothing I can do now

Possivelmente esse trecho faz uma alusão ao anel. Gollum e Sauron tomam dele sua preciosa, mas ele não pode fazer nada contra isso.


The Battle Of Evermore

Queen of Light took her bow, And then she turned to go,
The Prince of Peace embraced the gloom, And walked the night alone.

Oh, dance in the dark of night, Sing to the morning light.
The dark Lord rides in force tonight, And time will tell us all.

Oh, throw down your plow and hoe, Rest not to lock your homes.

Side by side we wait the might of the darkest of them all.

I hear the horses' thunder down in the valley blow,
I'm waiting for the angels of Avalon, waiting for the eastern glow.

The apples of the valley hold, The seas of happiness,
The ground is rich from tender care, Repay, do not forget, no, no.
Dance in the dark of night, sing to the morning light.

The apples turn to brown and black, The tyrant's face is red.

Oh the war is common cry, Pick up you swords and fly.
The sky is filled with good and bad that mortals never know.

Oh, well, the night is long the beads of time pass slow,
Tired eyes on the sunrise, waiting for the eastern glow.

The pain of war cannot exceed the woe of aftermath,
The drums will shake the castle wall, the ring wraiths ride in black, Ride on.

Sing as you raise your bow, shoot straighter than before.
No comfort has the fire at night that lights the face so cold.

Oh dance in the dark of night, Sing to the morning light.
The magic runes are writ in gold to bring the balance back. Bring it back.

At last the sun is shining, The clouds of blue roll by,
With flames from the dragon of darkness, the sunlight blinds his eyes.


Misty Mountain Hop

Walkin' in the park just the other day, Baby,
What do you, what do you think I saw?
Crowds of people sittin' on the grass with flowers in their hair said,
"Hey, Boy, do you wanna score?"
And you know how it is;
I really don't know what time it was, woh, oh,
So I asked them if I could stay awhile.

I didn't notice but it had got very dark and I was really,
Really out of my mind.
Just then a policeman stepped up to me and asked us said,
"Please, hey, would we care to all get in line,
Get in line."
Well you know, They asked us to stay for tea and have some fun,
Oh, oh, he said that his friends would all drop by, ooh.

Why don't you take a good look at yourself and describe what you see,
And Baby, Baby, Baby, do you like it?
There you sit, sitting spare like a book on a shelf rustin'
Ah, not trying to fight it.
You really don't care if they're coming, oh, oh,
I know that it's all a state of mind, ooh.

If you go down in the streets today, Baby, you better,
You better open your eyes.
Folk down there really don't care, really don't care, don't care, really don't
Which, which way the pressure lies,
So I've decided what I'm gonna do now.
So I'm packing my bags for the Misty Mountains
Where the spirits go now,
Over the hills where the spirits fly, ooh.
I really don't know.

 

[Anonymous_theOld]

Eu ainda acho que stairway to heaven poderia se encaixar muito bem na estória da Galadriel, muito bem.

o disco II do zeppelin ainda tem mais uma música q agora não lembro o nome q tbm é sobre esse tema.

ah, e tem a < myst mountain hop > tbm....

 

[Tonho Hammond]

bah, eu sou o visitante daí de cima.

 

[Maglor]

O Robert Plant já falou que Stairway to Heaven não pe baseada em nada de Tolkien. Mas eu acho que não diretamente; todo aquele espírito da música é bem Terra-Média sim, eu concordo.

 

[Balbo]

ah, e tem a < myst mountain hop > tbm....

Sim, e a letra dela está logo acima do seu post, hehe

 

[Galadriel]

Stairway to Heaven

Ah, sei lá. Acho que Robert Plant nunca vai admitir nada sobre Stairway to Heaven... HEheHEheHE

Pessoalmente, eu nunca parei para analizar semelhanças entre o que Tolkien escreveu e a letra.

Se bem que There's a feeling I get when I look into the West (...) é bem élfico...

 

[Maglor]

Re: Stairway to Heaven

Se bem que There's a feeling I get when I look into the West (...) é bem élfico...

É justamente esse verso que me faz imaginar que, de alguma forma, admitindo ou não, Stairway to Heaven é influenciada por Tolkien.

 

[Tonho Hammond]

There's a feeling I get
When I look to the west,
And my spirit is crying for leaving.

Aqui todo mundo consegue ver, né?

In my thoughts I have seen
Rings of smoke through the trees,
And the voices of those who standing looking

Isso aqui pode ser a visão de galadriel do Sauron se lavantando em Mordor

Ainda tem a Parte que fale dos espíritos chamando a May Queen ( Rainha de maio, rainha da primavera, pra mim de novo a Galadriel)

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul.
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How ev'rything still turns to gold.

Uma senhora que brilha luz branca pode ser olhado tbm como galadriel, quem sabe?


Mas eu duvido de ter sido inspirado tanto assim nela, mas que o Led tem uma enorme influência tolkeniana não se pode negar, até pq muitas comunidade hippies adotaram o 'estilo de vida'dos elfos, se achavam elfos, viviam para e com a natureza etc e tal.

Uma coisa que eu acho muito legal no Led é que eles tem essa influência toda mas não ditam nem contam uma estória conhecida de Arda, como oBlind Guardian faz, eles são mais viajantes na minha opinião, eles entram mais no clima de ser bardo mesmo.

 

[Inho]

bem, antes de tudo...

JIMMY PAGE É O PAI!!!

pronto, agora que minha excitação passou...
Pessoal, acho q tem mais musicas do Led com influência de Tolkien viu?? tipo, nas letras eu naum sei pq poucas eu consigo tirar e naum tenho paciência pra ficar procurando letra na net, mas é sensível a infulência tolkien em boa parte da obra. Tipo, tem uma...acho q é achilles last stand (q o jimmy page diz q é a melhor variação de guitarra q ele já fez), a letra nau parece ter muito a ver com tolkien, mas a harmonia, a melodia, é tudo tão...élfico! Bardos hippies, hail!!!

 

[Tonho Hammond]

Mas essa é a coisa toda da semelhança e do negóciao élfico ...
a sensibilidade, a sutileza, a leveza, as variantes, o tesão, o espírito, a intensidade, a viagem, a busca pelo novo, a ânsia por descobrir...
é tudo isso que faz do led zeppelin pra mim a banda mais tolkeniana de todo o sempre, eles parecem que realmente estão lá, que realmente se auto-proclamam e levantam a bandeira em meio uma taberna e cantam, cantam para que todos escutem, para que todos sintam, para que todos entre num transe coletivo de prazer mental ... putz, led zeppelin é sensacional !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

e os pais são page e jp jones.

 

[Tonho Hammond]

Quanto cometario relevante, heehhehe

 

[Idril]

É, o último do Balbo realmente foi relevante.

Já aviso: FLOOD é deletado, post com uma só palavra, com algo que fuja do assunto do tópico, com um único smile é FLOOD.
