Ivory Keys

[Ivory]

See what I did there?  Ivory keys?  Ehhhh...?  :D

Anyway, I keep making up songs for SotE.  Apparently, I have problems like that.  So I am going to start posting them here, because I've now made up a bunch, and I'm real proud of myself.

So proud!

Character: Akala
Thread: Opposites Attract!
Summary: Akala teaches Ha'aheo, her mershark friend, how to walk on two legs using a song apparently sung by the local villagers.

Baby's first step -- it's a big day! 
Step one -- across the sand to find some fun! 
Step two -- to the shore and ocean blue! 
Step three -- swim with the fishes and out to sea! 
Step four -- back again to Mother's door!

Character: Akala
Thread: Opposites Attract!
Summary: Akala teaches Ha'aheo, her mershark friend, what singing is through example.

Looking out across the open seas,
Dancing there beneath the palm trees,
I see you, can you see me?
Foam rides the waves of blue
They splash down, they cover you
I see you, can you see me too?
And when I look into the sky,
I'm so glad you're passing by,
When will I see you again?

Character: Kathryn
Thread: What a Man Wants
Summary: Kathryn decides to impress her new fiance by singing a pretty little song about the endurance of true love.

And there beneath the tree they met,
And sang and danced and laughed and wept.
When the wind whispers through the leaves
And sunlight sparkles 'cross the seas,
We'll remember a boy and his love,
A lovely maiden from high above.

Character: Kathryn
Thread: What a Man Wants
Summary: And then Kathryn sings a bit of a rompy song that is entirely inappropriate for a lady to know.

'Twas a cloudless autumn night.
He watched her through the window
Outlined in firelight.
Hidden by the creeping mist
All lonely Jack wanted
Was just one little kiss.

But lonely Jack could not see
The father of that lovely lady
And her older brothers three
'Til a club came down like an old oak tree
Then o'er the hedge went he!

Character: Audric
Thread: Justice Wears a Clever Disguise!
Summary: Audric usually sings this nursery rhyme to his infant son.  In this case, he's singing it to troll Leif Arrant.

Three little maids
In the mid of May
Sat upon a log
In the middle of the day.
When he hopped out,
The dog began to bay,
The little maids screamed,
And rose to run away.
'But I was a king!'
The frog began to say
'Kiss me, little maids,
Break my curse today!'

OMG these are great. *_* I think the descriptions make them even better, too. <3 So cute (and funny!). I stink at making up song lyrics... I've had to do it here once or twice and it's not pleasant. >_>

I'm pretty easily entertained!

Character: Mikko Kerr
Thread: The Long, Cold Road
Summary: Kerr sings the Grand Duke to sleep -- mostly just to shut him up.

In the fields, the grains began to sway,
In the reddening dawn of that final day.
And the voice carried 'pon the wind
Promised hope, peace, forgiveness of sin
All those who fought and all those who died.

Though we live on, not a one survived
Murdered by guilt, by fear, or pride.
Sacrificed all at the whim of a lord,
He remembered but forgotten the horde,
All those who fought and all those who died.
