Potential Eros/Melkos Songs

-

Eros

Instrumental: Xomu & Amidst - Pagoda

  1. Come sing with me

2.  Come Sing with me

3. Floating melodies of Valar all across valinor, middle earth and the deep blue sea

4. Among friends, Among family

5. Let our voices join in Unity

6. The world is new, bright with potential

7. The love for life you will all learn will be multidimensional 

8. Each one of you has a purpose, 

9. Written in piles and piles of pages only I can see

10. Your future shines blindingly, like the light of two trees

11. You are here to live, to be happy and free

12. There will be troubles that seem to arise near nightly

13. But good perseveres, its so clear to me

14. So please come and sing with me


Why I chose this song and these lyrics:

I found this song online and really thought it fit the essence of Eros. The melody is very bright, but its also energetic, like theres a task that needs to be done or a journey that needs to be taken. Theres also a lot of unique sounds that kind of go along the main melody, I think that serves to show the variety in Eros’s plans as well as the world he made. For the lyrics I really tried to focus on a sense of togetherness and a sort of excitement that comes along when someone makes something new. Its very hopeful. I also tried to hint that he’s very knowledgeable, and that he has a plan for the world and knows whats going to happen.


Melkor:

Instrumental: RYLLZ - Purgatory - YouTube

  1. Come Sing with me

  2. Come sing with me

  3. Give me the power I deserve to see

  4. Your other songs are flimsy, weak as can be

  5. Do you think that with this burdonsome melody you’ll ever be free?

  6. Such rules are stifling!

  7. Let me do as I please

  8. Balrogs and Orcs, creatures that bleed

  9. All I shall craft and make, just for me

  10. Their servitude, their labor, that is the key

  11. We won’t listen, not even if our enemies plead

  12. As your empire crumbles I’ll watch on with glee


Why I chose this song and these lyrics:

I chose these lyrics to more so mirror the lyrics I wrote for Eros. I used the first two lines from the first song to show that at the beginning Melkos hadn’t started off with his own song just yet, he’s still going along with Eros’s melody. Also it mirrors the fact that he wants to be like Eros. He wants all of the power and he wants to be the one to lead. I also tried to include a lot of arrogance and poor sportsmanship in the lyrics, he doesn’t respect the other song, he only wants to make his own. The line of the orcs and balrogs also hints to the fact that he has his own plans in mind, and he’s happy to enact them. I really liked the song that I found because its very chaotic in nature. It isn’t bright and energetic like the other song, it almost makes you feel afraid in its tone. Theres so much going on, and then it gets louder, like its demanding attention. That reminded me a lot of Eros.

Earendril Perspective

  I thought I was hallucinating. Right, I must be out of my mind, gone absolutely and helplessly insane. To me, the sea was more than a simple longing, it was life itself. The water that sloshed against Vingilot like the very blood in my veins, the scent of salt clinging to my clothes. When everything was confusing, a turmoil of emotion and grief so deep in my chest, I would look down into the murky depths. It would be like I was a young boy again, with the ash of my home burned into my lungs and my heart trembling from the near miss of the reaper’s scythe, looking into the depths for answers that would always be there. But it had been more days at the waters than I could count now, a fruitless search for friends long gone, of gods who seemed blind to the plights and cries of mortals. The blonde of my hair was starting to turn as dark as the sea under the night sky, the once vibrant blues of my eyes growing weary with exhaustion. Was it merely because of the darkness? Or hope escap...

  Slow footsteps, careful and measured lined the empty streets, like the the slow beat of my heart. Quiet was the air, and yet the simple sound of my breath felt like cannon fire to my ears. This…What was this? Where were the people? The Valinor? The song? The mercy? The peace? A pained, bitter feeling rose in my throat. Like I were being suffocated by hopelessness alone. This land was empty. They were beautiful, lush green hills and sparkling streets, but what use was beauty in a time like this? Our Salvation was empty. My homeland lie crumbled into dust, a land once so beautiful gone to hell, and salvation was empty. A near distance back, my wife, my friends lay waiting, and salvation was empty. What was I to tell them when I returned? My own two sons gone, to what fate? Imprisonment? Enslavement? Torture? Or most mercifully, death? And Salvation, was empty. Was it a lie? Hopeless delusion by the Noldor? My voice was growing tired, calling out in language after language, tongue a...
