A little very-to-the-point thing about the midsummer morning when forces lined up for the Battle of Unnumbered Tears.

if you dont check this
https://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/Nirnaeth_Arnoediad

or the old fashioned way, is to find the pertinent chapter "Of The Fifth Battle..."  in the Silmarillion

Looking around soundcloud...
A bunch of other metal things go into the main course of the battle.
This here is more of a study of when they were initially hopeful at the start.
(Whereupon anyone else's main battle stuff, is completely valid following this thing, more power to that)

Sharp observers will notice phrases re-used from the two different versions of Earendillinwe in my track list, it is encouraged to also check those out (and the track notes of both).

Lining Up For The Nirnaeth

Lyrics

Verse 1:
I met him back in 1982
And right away he suggested something I ought to do 
It was a workshop he said was something to behold
It was important to do before I got old
Thats how I got to know Jimmy McGee
He made a pretty big impression on me

Verse 2:
Transformation was the workshop theme
All I remember, it was pretty extreme
When it was over  you were meant to tell the world
To come and join the transformation team
That’s where Jimmy’s talent shone through 
I watched him invite everybody he knew 

Chorus:
Jimmy’d say:
You should try it
You’re going to love it
It changed my life and it’ll change yours too
It’s remarkable, extraordinary
It’s something that I really think you ought to do

Verse 3:
I tried a lotta things cuz Jimmy ecouraged me
Like yoga, pilates and homeopathy
Accupuncture, Rajneesh and meditation
And some other things that I probly shouldn’t mention
Most everything I’ve ever done to fix up my life
Were the result of Jimmy’s advice

Bridge:
Jimmy’s been searching all of his days
For ways to change the world in significant ways
He was clear that job will never get done
Unless he shares his insights with everyone 
	
Verse 4:
Sometimes I listened to what Jimmy suggested
I’ll try it out at least once or twice
Then I’d come by to tell him that he’d made a difference
And thank him for his advice
He’ll say thanks but that was so yesterday
Let me tell you what I’m in to today

Chorus:
Jimmy’d say:
You should try it
You’re going to love it
It changed my life and it’ll change yours too
It’s remarkable, extraordinary
It’s something that I really think you ought to do

Verse 5:
These days Jimmy’s over 80 years old
You'd think that he would finally start to slow down
But if anything it looks as though he’s just got started
Still getting excited about ideas he's found
Now he swears that he's finally discovered the way
To make being old seem almost Ok

Chorus:
Jimmy’d say:
You should try it
You’re going to love it
It changed my life and it’ll change yours too
It’s remarkable, extraordinary
It’s something that I really think you ought to do

Jimmy McGee

Lyrics Video: https://youtu.be/HNdnTTtcBeA

ooh-oooh-oooh oooh
ooh-oooh-oooh oooh

you will break out
of the house where the people and toys
and even the walls know your name

you will stake out
a new claim on an old and abandoned mine
all collapsed and decayed

then you’ll wait for your plot to start twisting
plant seeds in the rot
trust your system

but a movie is not how we roll
we just hang from the cliff,
never get back control

this world is so much smaller
than the movies would have you believe
and love—so much more of a mess
than the movies would have you believe

your talents—
they're worth so much less
than the movies would have you believe

you’ll need to grow much taller
than the movies would have you believe

there’s no payoff—
what you think you deserve will be gone in a blink
with the surf in an ocean of rain

you can’t stay off—
there’s no armor or charm or a prayer
or a spell that can spare you the pain

no plot when the years start twisting 
and seeds grown in the rot
look to you for some wisdom

when you take on the voice of the pilot
will you color their skies in blue or in violet?

this world is so much smaller
than you think
so much more fragile
and a lot more insane

ooh-oooh-oooh oooh
ooh-oooh-oooh oooh

this world
has more superpower
than the movies would have you believe

and love—
so much more of a test
than the movies would have you believe

dreams—
worth so much less
than the movies would have you believe

you’ll taste a lot more that is sour 
and even more that is sweeter
than any old movie would have you believe

The Movies

This is about the effects of alcohol and being young and stupid. One day you realize the entire relationship was liquid fueled. The line in this song that stands out to me is ‘We drank to the point that we both forget. The crawling and the counof the names. In those days it was easier to play those games’.

Tequila SunriseTaco Chips and Beer

Tequila Sunrise, Taco Chips and Beer by Dave Hanrahan

I write songs.  I'm not a performer any more than I need to be to have my songs heard once in a while. I hope that better musicians than I encounter my songs and decide to play them.  I just write songs to have them exist in the world. If the world likes them then the world can do with them what it will.  All these recordings are demos.  I've tried to make them as musically interesting as I can but they are all awaiting the skilled hand of someone who knows how to make songs shine.
