Finrod, the rock opera (2014)


Youtube recommends strange things to me sometimes.  It recommended a song from this and I watched it amused.  Then I grew fond of it.  It's an ambitious rock opera based on a story from The Silmarillion.  In Russian.  With English Subtitles.  If you're a Tolkien geek, check this out.  If you're a rock opera geek, check it out.

Good quote

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Flow

Glimmering water under moonlight's glow

the banks are shrouded in coats of snow,

they shudder when the water breaks

and onward a boat whose waves does make

with a silent ripple left in her wake.

Her tail bends, but does not tow

for she is alone as she rows

onward and forward, through highs and lows

the river deciding where she goes.

Onward and foward the river flows.

Rocks, eddies, sweepers unseen,

experience waiting to be gleaned.

Much left to learn, much she does not know

but day by day she continues to grow,

under the spotlight of moonshine's glow

she is a star, her own hero

yet still a babe in utero.

Onward and forward she must go,

Onward, onward the river flows.
