Just read “Silent World Foray” and enjoyed it.   

[Sunflower]

LooNEY, that song was prophetic in light of recent events.    (Wipes glasses.)  Somehow it's gotten awfully dusty in here and my allergies are flaring up.

Don't ever stop!

And the irony is, you probably won't like this one, being a Billy Joel fan.

“No Regret I Find”
from “For the Longest Time”
by Billy Joel

Oh
Oh-oh-oh
No regret I find
Oh-oh-oh
No regret I find

If I’d stayed at
Home in Ke-u-ruu
Then I never
Would have known all you
I couldn’t bear that
Without this life would be flat
And when I look back
No regret I find

Oh
Oh-oh-oh
No regret I find
Oh-oh-oh
No regret I find

I would still make
Each choice that I did
I have dreamed of
This since just a kid
I had to do it
Though I may not live all through it
So when I look back
No regret I find

Oh
Oh-oh-oh
No regret I find
Oh-oh-oh
No regret I find

Now that I’ve been
Bitten by a troll
You might think that
I regret it all
But you’d be so wrong
My need to roam is so strong
That when I look back
No regret I find

I don’t think that
My fate is sealed
I still have hope
I will be healed
It could be that
I have the Rash
I’m not abashed
For I’m
Living my dream life

If infected
I will surely die
But until then
I refuse to cry
I’ll be my own girl
Out exploring in the wide world
And when I look back
No regret I find

I know you re-
Gret what you’ve done
You fled from your home
You weren’t a good son
But I cannot
Share the sad you feel
My joy at this is real
For I’m
Free from my old life

And if it is
My fate here to die
I will meet that
Fate all satisfied
My dreams have come true
So Reynir don’t be blue cause
Every time I look back
No regret I find

Oh
Oh-oh-oh
No regret I find
Oh-oh-oh
No regret I find
Oh-oh-oh
No regret I find
Oh-oh-oh
No regret I find...

“I Was in His Mind”
from “You Were on My Mind”
by We Five

When I went down the hallway
I was in his mind
And
I was in his mind

He was troubled
Oh-oh-oh
By his mem’ries
Oh-oh-oh
Which I saw unwind

As I peeped round the corner
I could see so plain
Yes
I could see so plain

It was Emil
Oh-oh-oh
He was chubby
Oh-oh-oh
I could feel his pain

When I went down the hallway
I was in his mind
And
I was in his mind

He was troubled
Oh-oh-oh
By his mem’ries
Oh-oh-oh
Which I saw unwind

So
It was disturbing
What I did view
Well
All that I did view

He was eating
Oh-oh-oh
He was dressed weird
Oh-oh-oh
He wasn’t happy, this is true

When I went down the hallway
I was in his mind
And
I was in his mind

He was troubled
Oh-oh-oh-oh
By his mem’ries
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Which I saw unwind…

I already posted this somewhere else but I think it'll fit here too so here it is.

"It's Silent Out There"
from "It's Quiet Uptown" from Hamilton

[Tuuri]
There are places that despair can reach
There is suffering too terrible to name
You hold onto hope as tight as you can
And push away the inevitable
The moments when you’re out of luck
It was easier to just swim down

[Lalli]
I felt her pain as she drowned
She wouldn’t live with the unimaginable

[Onni]
I spend hours in my dreams
I lie alone in the dark
And it's quiet in here
I never hated the quiet before
I regret watching the boat leave that day
Her smile so bright as it left shore
And I cry
If only she’d listened before

(If you see him in his dreams, trying for her soul, crying for her soul, have pity)

[Onni]
Tuuri you would hate it in here
It's quiet in here

(He is working through the unimaginable
His sky has gone grey
He sleeps through the day
They say he’s locked away all his thoughts)

[Onni]
You knock me out, I fall apart

(Can you imagine?)

[Onni]
Look at where you were
Look at where you ended
I know you didn’t deserve this, Tuuri
But why’d you go? It would be enough
If I could spare her life
If I could trade her life for mine
She’d be standing here right now
And she would smile, and that would be enough
I don't pretend to know
The silence that I’m facing
I know there's no replacing what I’ve lost
It wasn’t her time
When I was afraid
She knew what she wanted
If only she’d stayed here by my side
That would be enough

(If you see him in his dreams, trying for her soul, crying for her soul, have pity)

[Onni]
Tuuri, did you like it out there? It's silent out there

(He is trying to do the unimaginable
See him walking in his dreams, sitting in the dark
Blocking out the sights of reality)

[Onni]
Stick around, stick around,Tuuri

(He is trying to do the unimaginable)

[Tuuri]
There are moments that my thoughts can’t reach
There are things I though I would always survive
We push away what we hope never comes to be
We push away the inevitable
He is standing in the dark
Grief and fear by Onni’s side
They take his heart

[Lalli]
It's silent out here

(Hopelessness. Can you imagine?
Hopelessness. Can you imagine?
If you see him in his dreams, trying for her soul, crying for her soul, have pity
He is going through the unimaginable)

Fun fact about the My neighbor Totoro movie: the ending song has an official English dub, for which it's actually quite easy to find a Youtube video with lyrics.

Spoiler: Transcript of the English dub of the theme • show

Totoro, Totoro
Totoro, Totoro

Who leaves the seeds
For you to find?
Follow them and you will see,
A treasure there.
Then plant the seeds
And help them grow.
It may seem like a dream,
But things are not what they seem.
Now begins a new adventure for you!
And you’ll be with

Totoro, Totoro
Totoro, Totoro

Living in the forest trees
For such a very, very long time.
There you’ll be with

Totoro, Totoro
Totoro, Totoro

You only see him when you’re very young
A magical adventure for you.
It’s magic for you.

Rain tumbles down
The bus is late.
Suddenly a furry wet giant is by your side
Don’t be afraid
Just open wide
Your umbrella for him
Watch him play in the rain.
Now begins a new adventure for you!
And you’ll be with

Totoro, Totoro
Totoro, Totoro

And on a moonlit night,
He plays a magic flute in the sky.
There you’ll be with

Totoro, Totoro
Totoro, Totoro

You only see him when you’re very young
A magical adventure for you.
It’s magic for you.

Personal fun fact: my English happens to be much, much better than my Japanese so...

To the tune of the "My neighbor Totoro" ending song:

Notoro, Notoro
Notoro, Notoro

Who leaves the books
For you to find?
Follow them and you will see,
A treasure there.
Now drop the books
And run away.
It may seem like a dream,
But things are not what they seem.
Now begins a new adventure for you!
And you’ll be with

Notoro, Notoro
Notoro, Notoro

Living in the forest trees
For such a very, very long time.
There you’ll be with

Notoro, Notoro
Notoro, Notoro

You only see him when you’re very slow
A magical adventure for you.
It’s magic for you.

Rain tumbles down
The boat is late.
Suddenly a scary wet giant is by your side
Don’t be afraid
Just put a wide
Space between you and him
Watch him play in the rain.
Now begins a new adventure for you!
And you’ll be with

Notoro, Notoro
Notoro, Notoro

And on a moonlit night,
He may want you as a midnight snack.
There you’ll be with

Notoro, Notoro
Notoro, Notoro

You only see him when you’re very slow
A magical adventure for you.
It’s magic for you.

In Mora. (By the station)

To adults, students, and old ladies you say 「･･Välkommen(hello)」
「No, no! Here you also say Hai'!」
Seriously･･･. In your textbook, page three. (Already there)
At any rate, here I'll overcome shyness and shame
The monthly tuition is 13000 krona. (That's not cheap)
"good, everyone, um, how are you?"
『Where am I? Who are you?』 kuka sinä olet (Who are you?)
All so that to my beloved Lalli,
I'll be able to say "I love you"
Yeah! Yeah! Finland! A dreamy state of mind
The yksi, kaksi (1, 2) fanclub
Grandually I'll be able to use the same words as you, right?
Will I be able to say "Minä rakastan sinua" (I love you)?
A highschool girl I've gotten to know there, (Tuuri)
She said there's gonna be a Onni concert in Keuruu
Saying "I have to go" (By the way)
Though Tuuri talks about it causually, that's an international trip, right?
seriously･･･. Your engines are really fired up (Tuuri)
Anyhow, shall I seize this chance here and go for it?
It's gonna be 60 thousand and some in travel expenses. (That's not cheap)
Well then, (katso (see ya)), I've gotta look for a job
『Excuse me, sir』 herra (sir)
『How much is this one here?』Kuinka paljon tuo on?  (How much is that?)
All to say goodbye to Tuuri who is in Heaven
Yeah! Yeah! Finland! A dreamy state of mind
The yksi, kaksi (1, 2) fanclub
Grandually, I'll come to understand those feelings you want to convey
Yearning for it, becoming completely absorbed
One month, Two months, Half a year passed by
My real friends have decreased somewhat
But that can't be helped either
Yeah! Yeah! China! A dreamy state of mind
The yksi, kaksi (1, 2) fanclub
Grandually I'll be able to use the same words as you, right?
Yeah! Yeah! Finland! A dreamy state of mind

Grandually, I'll come to understand those feelings you want to convey
Let me say "Minä rakastan sinu" (I love you)!
Will I be able to say "Minä rakastan sinu" (I love you)?

[Grade E cat]

Because there aren't enough darker versions of "Do you want to build a snowman?" on the Internet already.

Do you want to be our dinner?

Do you want to be our dinner?
Come on let's go and play
We never see you anymore
Come out the door,
It's like you've gone away
We used to be best buddies
And now we're not
We wish you would tell us why
Do you want to be our dinner?
It doesn't have to be our dinner

Do you want to be our dinner
Or run from us around the halls?
We think a good dinner is overdue
We've started chewing through
The pictures on the walls
It gets a little lonely,
All these empty rooms,
Just watching the hours tick by

Please we know you're in there,
Others mentioned there was a Finn.
They say "be patient",
And we’re trying to,
We’re right out here for you
Just let us in
You only have each other
It's just you and him
What are you gonna do?
Do you want to be our dinner?

Adventure 2, Pg 147
Song of Chapter Four
from “Far Over the Misty Mountains Cold”
and “Song of the Lonely Mountain”
By Howard Shore and JRR Tolkien

Far across
The shores of Lake Saimaa
Is hid the fate
Of their Grandma
Since Tuuri’s dead
There Onni fled
As Lalli followed his friends saw

Strong was the magic
Of the kade
So even Ensi
Was dismayed
With eyes of red
Engend’ring dread
It chose poor Hilja to invade

In a bundle
Through quarantine
Poor Hilja slipped
The beast obscene
Through market square
Now in the air
Wove the infection all unclean

Little village
Almost none immune
At Harvest Feasting
They did commune
How could they know
It would be so
The kade ascendant did call their tune

Hilja vanished
Into a troll
And lingered in
Its hidey-hole
The mages came
With guns that flamed
But Ensi had to tell them all

So showed the magical dream
The red, the blond and the lean
So the three examined the scene
And wondered what it could mean

Icelander and a Swede
Hearkened to Lalli’s need
Looked on this memory feed
Across the stretch of years that intercede

Ensi stayed
To send Hilja on
But then the kade
Said she was gone
“Now, Lalli, go!
Let Onni know!
As for my rifle, pass it on.”

Far across
The Lake Saimaa shore
Past little towns
That are no more
They’ll find their fate
The kade awaits
The Hotakainens it abhors

It was their doom
To be consumed
By Rash and kade of Lake Saimaa

So showed the magical dream
The red, the blond and the lean
So the three examined the scene
And wondered what it could mean

Icelander and a Swede
Hearkened to Lalli’s need
Looked on this memory feed
Across the stretch of years that intercede

Far across
The shores of Lake Saimaa

LooNEY, so good to see your work again!

[LooNEY_DAC]

So I was just getting some stuff from the store, and they had a radio station playing. Unfortunately, I didn't catch the title or the artist, but what I did get was this:

=119=

“Trapped Behind a Mask”

A life
All hemmed in by walls
Standing in my way
They say
To keep me
Safe
But I never could
See what was the good
Of this life unlived
But
I must go
On
And watch the world go past
Trapped behind a mask
Despite
My yearning
Caught
Behind a pane of glass
Trapped behind a mask

I know
That the world is wide
But never for my eyes
To
See in
Person
So
I will never go
As far as I have dreamed
And sometimes I could scream
As I
Keep going
On
And watch the world go past
Trapped behind a mask
Despite
My yearning
Caught
Behind a pane of glass
Trapped behind a mask

A song
Sung just out of tune
Because I’m not immune
So I
Can never
Know
What it’s like to go
Anywhere I please
Not fearing the Disease
But
I must go
On
And watch the world go past
Trapped behind a mask
Despite
My yearning
Caught
Behind a pane of glass
Trapped behind a mask

[Róisín]

Wow! This is brilliant! I would love to know what the base song was?

[LooNEY_DAC]

...Because I am insane
I made this fi-ilk
Because
I am
Insa-a-a-ane!

“Tuuri-Bird”
from “Because”
by the Beatles

Ahhhhhhhhh-Ahh

Because
You’re in my hand
I sing this so-ong
Because
You’re in my ha-a-a-a-and

Ahhhhhhhhh-Ahh

Because
You’re Tuuri’s soul
It blows my mi-ind
Because
You’re Tuuri’s so-o-o-oul

Ahhhhhhhhh-Ahh

Reynir calls
Out to you

“Can you see?”
“Yes, I do”

Because
Your bird is blue
It makes me cry-y
Because
Your bird is blu-u-u-ue

Ahhhh-Ahh
Ahh-Ahh-Ahh
Ahhhh-Ahh-Ahh
Ahh-Ahh-Ahhhhhhh

Ahhhh-Ahh
Ahh-Ahh-Ahh-Ahh
Ahh-Ahh-Ahh-Ahh-Ahhhhhhh

Ahh-Ahh-Ahh
Ahh-Ahh-Ahh
Ahhhh

Ahhhh-Ahh
Ahh-Ahh-Ahh
Ahhhh

Good! Nice to see more filk.
