colin rudd - cottage of lost play

Tolkien's childhood,the source of all his wonder is spelt out in this evocative,heartfelt insight into the great man himself. Back to the days when he wandered carefree with his beloved brother.It's my favourite song and I am beautifully assisted by fellow musicians Chris(on harp and whistle), Ben (flute)and David (cello). I think we made a nice tribute using Tolkien's wonderful words.

@emergencyCALL911 you should read tolkeins lost tales, there are many poems with such wonderful imagery in them.

Hi Colin, hope all is well.....



[Nebelhorn66]

I have loved this poem since i first read in in the 1980's and it has been my favorite ever since. When i watch my four years old daughter playing in the garden i sometimes think of tolkiens words when he describes the children of man playing in valinor. I wish a dream as wonderful as this song may come to her some night and she will walk in dream on the forgotten path no adult can ever go. Thanks Colin, your song fills me with joy and sadness...

[Nebelhorn66]

I just love this song. Well done Colin!!!!

magnificent....

This poem is so adorably sweet. You can just imagine all these cute little kids chasing each other around with silver watering cans and strings of daisies around their necks.

And I love the tune. It's so sad. It gives a whole new feel to it, but one that fits perfectly.

Well I do think it was one of the best written poems he created, and you did an excellent job in bringing life to it Colin.

Maybe, maybe. All I know about her is that she inspired Tolkien to write his story about Beren and Tinuviel, and that on their tombstones, beneath their names and whatever else is written, it says "Beren" and "Luthien". He must've loved her with his heart and soul, or so i think.
