"Namárië" is a poem by J. R. R. Tolkien written in Quenya, a constructed language, and published for the first time in The Lord of the Rings. The Quenya word 'namárië' is a reduced form of 'á na márië', an Elvish formula used for greeting and for farewell. (Wikipedia)

It's that time of year when I need to say goodbye to some things so that I can welcome the new in my life. 
A huge thank you to my friend Claire for inviting me to revisit this poem in song.

Words by J.R.R. Tolkien, music improvised by me.

After a few years playing music for my collection of plastic dinosaurs, I've decided to share it here.

One day I'll play in front of people.
