OMG GUYS, IT’S COMPLETE
Artist/Composer: Neil Finn, Howard Shore
Song name: Song of the Lonely Mountain
Released: 11 December 2012Lyrics:
Far over the Misty Mountains rise
Leave us standing upon the height
What was before, we see once more
Is our kingdom, a distant light
Fiery mountain beneath the moon
The words aren’t spoken, we’ll be there soon
For home a song that echoes on
And all who find us will know the tune
Some folk we never forget
Some kind we never forgive
Haven’t seen the back of us yet
We’ll fight as long as we live
All lies on the hidden door
To the Lonely Mountain bourne
We’ll ride in the gathering storm
Until we get our long forgotten gold
We lay under the Misty Mountains cold
In slumbers deep, and dreams of gold
We must awake, our lives to make
And in the darkness a torch we hold
From long ago when lanterns burned
Until this day our hearts have yearned
A fate unknown; the Arkenstone
What was stolen must be returned
We must away, and make the day
To find our song, for heart and soul
Some folk we never forget
Some kind we never forgive
Haven’t seen the end of it yet
We’ll fight as long as we live
All lies on the hidden door
To the Lonely Mountain bourne
We’ll ride in the gathering storm
Till we get our long forgotten gold
Far away the Misty Mountains cold

Gaelic Lyrics:
A naoidhean bhig, cluinn mo ghuth
Mise ri d’ thaobh, O mhaighdean bhan
Ar righinn oig, fas as faic
Do thir, dileas Fein
A ghrian a’s a ghealaich, stuir sinn
Gu uair ar cliu ‘s ar gloire
Naoidhean bhig, ar righinn go
Mhaighdean uashaill bhan
English Translation:Little baby, hear my voice
I’m beside you, O maiden fair
Our young Lady, grow and see
Your land, your own faithful land
Sun and moon, guide us
To the hour of our glory and honour
Little baby, our young Lady
Noble maiden fair
Okay, tumblr, this reminds me of another trad. tune (Neil Gow, maybe?) but I CAN’T PLACE IT AND IT’S DRIVING ME NUTS. Any ideas?

Quote reblogged from Stuck in the Middle with You with 3 notes
(F)emale rappers have formed their own vanguard. Theirs is a fascinating story; not just because the overt display of male rapper bravado has enabled them to be similarly overt and therefore step into their own power, but also because, placed in a wider context, in their generation they’re echoing the themes, imagery and energy of black American women writers such as Alice Walker and Toni Morrisson.

First of all I have tried to establish how women, whether as performers or working behind the scenes, have negotiated their place within the music industry. To each of them I put the question, ‘How do you express yourself?’ The response was startling. From the sassiest soul singer to the most hardcore rocker, all would blink, take pause and think. Some cried. And I realized how much women have been written about in terms of what filmmaker Penelope Spheeris has dubbed the ‘Marilyn Monroe Damage’ — that is, primarily as men-pleasing angels, victims, or problem personalities — rather than in terms of their body of work.
