If This Is To End In Fire - Audio/Visual

Hey all, I just got back from Canterlot, and they'll totally let me into the ROTC program. That being said, I also caught a movie while I was there and I just had to cover this song that I heard on there.

Be warned, it's a first take but let me know what you think about it. It's Acapella too.

Ahem.

"Ed Sheeran - I See Fire - The Hobbit - Peter Hollens" (Watch on YouTube)

What do you think? I know it's rough and I didn't get all of the lyrics right but it's a good song. I fell in love with this music from Ed Stormstout's work when I went to see the Pony-bit. I saw the first one in my world, and while it wasn't quite the same, it was still amazing.

So uh yeah, music. Anyone want to help me cover it?

Oh sure, go ahead then. I'll try to match your singing then.

[He pulled out his guitar and twanged the strings a little.]

Alright... lemme give ya range first.

[Casting a look about to make sure no one was around, she hummed the tune of the song for him to match, then once he had it, she sang. She couldn't go quite as high as the Heron Princess had, but she still had pretty good range, hitting the lower end of the song easily. She was also butchering the pronunciation, but...well, no one knew that here.

After she finished, she smiled nervously.]

H-how'd Ah do?

That was beautiful... I think I got the overall tune of it down, and I think I can match the guitar notes to the song actually.

[Replaying a little of the first on his guitar, he continued to the first stanza and asked,] How's that?

It's somethin' called a Galdr back home. If a Heron Laguz or someone special sings 'em, sometimes things happen, like when the Princess and Prince sang it, it brought a forest back to life. Ah guess ya'd call it a sort of magic. Ah ain't one of the special ones or a Laguz, so it don't do nothin', but it's pretty anyway. And yeah, ya got it right on. That's neat ya can match it so well.

So it has power behind it. It's still incredibly exciting to hear honestly. Like it's charged with some kind of energy.

I've been good at playing by ear at least.

Like Ah said, don't do nothin' if Ah do it, but...Ah only heard it once or twice, an' seein' a forest that's been dead for twenty years come to life again kind of made it where Ah don't think Ah'll ever forget it.

Ah gotta admit, Ah'm a li'l jealous of folks that can play music. All Ah can do is grass whistle. [She grinned, because that was kind of the opposite of impressive.] Ya ready to do the second part?

That is incredible. I wish I could have seen it to be honest.

[He nodded, shifting his guitar.] Let's try it again then. [And with that, he started to play a little slower, but hitting the right notes.]
