Now the moon’s high above, you’re the woman I’ve loved for so long. It’s the last goodnight kiss, and these moments I miss when you’re gone.

Mother don’t worry
I killed the last snake that lived in the creek bed
Mother don’t worry
I’ve got some money I saved for the weekend
Mother, remember being so stern
With that girl who was with me?
Mother, remember the blink of an eye
When I breathed through your body?
So may the sunrise bring hope
Where it once was forgotten
Sons are like birds
Flying upward over the mountainMother, I lost it
All of the fear of the Lord I was given

The Hobbit - Misty Mountains Orchestral Cover
Dudes, this is amazing. My friend put this together during reading days/finals week because he is insane in all the best ways.
Seriously, have a listen. I can’t handle how much I love it.
(Also check out other musics over at this guy’s youtube channel: sleightlymusical. Well worth a visit.)
Literally cannot get my fill of this song. And this is a phenomenal cover, holy shit.

Weight of Lies
Have you ever been listening to a playlist, Pandora Station, the radio, etc and heard a song that reminded you of a very particular point in your life? Not just reminded you, but really tugged at you, like it was closing its fist around your memory.
It’s been a long and very weird year for me. A lot of ups and downs. Many really good points, and a lot of really bad ones. I heard a song come up in my shuffle playlist, and it was one of those songs. So I’m making a list of all the months of the year, and how those songs have fit into my incredibly polarized year.

Anonymous asked: Would you tell us about the music of Miomir?
A cross from my Miomir blog! Did you come here from there? Or did you go there from here?
At any rate, I will answer on here (and probably reblog over there).
The music is as varied as you can imagine. As varied as here on Earth. There are eight countries/kingdoms on the western continent, and at least six or seven on the eastern one (I haven’t gone into detail on the latter as much as the former), and each has it’s own society and influence. I imagine each culture has it’s own distinct sound—in music as well as speech and language—that can vary slightly or significanty from any neighbours.
I try to build each culture and society pretty much from the ground up. I look at the lay of the land—literally—and try to decide what sort of society would have most likely arisen in that type of country. From there come the influences and inspiration of everyhing else, from mythology to main exports, from government to, well, music. Language is different, but I won’t even get into it, since it wasn’t part of the question asked.
The people I have worked the most on so far are the Viilsunga, who are agricultural but have a heavy Norse influence to their language and artistic style. Their music is very… tribal and lyrical, more so than instrumental. They sing in the fields while they work, and around their hearths at night. Most of their music is a Capella, and very much is a means of storytelling to them. Their instruments are simple—a drum, a woodwind, some other percussion instruments, and that’s about it.
Definitely just decided that right now. I could go more into each society and culture… But I don’t want to make too much a novel out of this… There is a bit more of an in-depth post about the Viilsunga music tradition here, which I imagine might be added upon and more parts related posted as I work in fleshing out more societies and cultures and kingdoms.
