Since I can't watch the Stephen Speaks concert, went and bought their "No More Doubt" CD. Fuuunnnnnnnnnn. I love this CD. :) Will start to read the pertinent Bible verses also to understand the song better. :)

Know more about the band, download mp3s, get the lyrics, support the band, become a fan. Click here. Heehee. :)

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

After an eternity of Filker's Block, the idea machine has finally revved up (with much thanks to Stephen Speaks. LOL.), and has been resurrected as "Filk About Eowyn, the Sparkly White Lady of Rohan". Heehee. Just kidding. Maybe it's because I so love this song, and I feel so much like Eowyn. (sigh). Now Lau will know why this filk was written. (Lau, don't leave my blog. *grin*)


EOWYN'S SONG
Sung to the tune of "Out of My League" by Stephen Speaks

Author's Note: This filk is dedicated especially to friend Laurice and other fellow Stephen SpeakERs and Tolkien fans, Karen and Sunshine. And to all the folks who had different filk requests (ulan, oneal, anakinmalfoy, paolo j., laurice), sorry, but this is what came out of my newly resurrected idea machine, will work on your requests soon (although I still doubt I'll pull off Ketchup). With much respect to Hecman, the Tolkien filker. With apologies to SS, I love the song so much and I identify with it, I just had to filk it. :) Thanks to Master Cholo for "test-singing" the filk. Heehee. :) ...... For my happy thought.

He rode to Edoras today,
And he just took my breath away.
When I saw him I knew I had fallen in love.
But he can't love me in the same way.
I looked into his eyes and stared,
All the time my brain tells me beware.
But I can't help the feelings he seems to evoke
Even though my dreams look like they'll go up in smoke.

Oh I love him with all that I am.
It seems my fate is out of my hands.
'Cause she's all that he thinks of, Arwen Elf-Princess,
Think I'm out of my league with this man.

He holds on to the Evenstar,
His anchor to her from afar.
As our world goes to war all I feel is despair,
I might lose him in battle but why should I care?

Well, I love him with all that I am.
It seems my fate is out of my hands.
For his destiny calls him to triumph for Men,
And to bring back glory for his land.
Then there's Arwen, Elf-Princess, I'm just a Shieldmaiden.
I'm out of my league with this man.

He rode to Edoras today.

And to bring back glory for his land.
